Abstract

Progress in regenerative endodontic procedures needs approval by clinicians, but there is little or noevidence. This study aimed to examine the awareness, mindset and experience of regenerative endodonticsamong Indian dental residents. For the survey they used a self-administered questionnaire which consistedof three parts; part A focused on the background and experience of dentists, part B pursued the viewpoint,views and decision of the dentist about the utilize of PRF and Regenerative techniques, Whereas part Ccontained questions focused on their clinical experience. Findings indicate that maximum respondents knewabout PRF during postgraduate training but 90% are willing to attend PRF and REP training. However,few claimed to have used any form of regenerative therapy in their work. Finally, it can be concludedthat findings are an indication of optimistic dental residents concerning the use of regenerative endodonticmethods; however, further analysis and routine training is needed.

Abstract

During endodontic procedures, along with mechanical instrumentation, irrigants are imperative for pathogeneradication. As the strains of pathogens are becoming antibiotic resistant at a constant ascending pace andalso the potentially harmful effect is associated with synthetic drugs, so studies on natural alternatives forirrigation are being done. Chitosan, a natural alternative, has been evaluated as an antimicrobial medicine.Recently, in cases presenting with persistent infections after endodontic treatment, it was noted that of all themicrobial species identified, the prevalence of s.epidermidis was the most. In this current study, an analysisof the antimicrobial effectiveness of chitosan as a potent root canal irrigant, for disinfecting the root canalwas conducted. Methodology: By the serial dilution method, the minimum inhibitory concentration wasdetermined. Dilution of the test solution was done using 10% DMSO solution. After which, incubationin a rotary incubator, at 180 rotations per minute, the temperature of 37?, for 24 hours was done. Forobtaining the zones of inhibition of different concentration (0.2%, 0.5%, 0.75, 1%) of chitosan irrigant, theagar diffusion method was applied and the resultant clear zone was measured with a ruler. Result: Chitosan(liquid) had promising antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis, with a 16 mm zone ofinhibition at 100 µg/ml. Conclusion: Within the limitations of the present study, it was observed that, evenat lower concentrations, chitosan (liquid form) effectively hindered the further growth of S.epidermidis.

Abstract

In 1950, while researching the nerves in a squid, Otto Schmitt coined the word “Biomimetics” It meansimitating life, literally. To seek to mimic or reproduce it artificially to preserve the same esthetics or work is thestudy of natural structural processes. Since tooth structure has no natural means for restoration, biomimeticmethods can be implied to restore the teeth mechanically to its normal function and esthetics. There are twothings of biomimetic dentistry. First, the damaged or absent dental tissue is replaced, leading to completerestoration to the tooth of function and aesthetics. And the substance used will regenerate the damaged dentaltissue, replicate and imitate it. The bio-compliant and Physico-chemical products of biomimetic materialhave the benefits of improved biocompatibility, sealing ability, high strength, antibacterial properties andare used to preserve long term esthetic and restoring techniques. Recent biomimetic technologies haveestablished the potential to transcend various considerable drawbacks of technologies of a previous age. Thisstudy would seek to provide a clearer explanation for biomimetic materials ‘relative role in the sense of pastand current dental materials.

Abstract

In the field of regenerative medicine, PRP/PRF whichwas will be is used as a surgical adjuvant becamethe new glorified approach. For the Regenerative endodontic treatment based on the tissue engineeringconcept, creating a favourable environment free of pathogens, for preservation and migration of stem cells,pathogen eradication, stem cell preservation, presence of scaffold facilitating spatial orientation and signalmolecules released by cells is of utmost importance. In tooth revascularisation and revitalization, successfulapplication of platelet concentrates as scaffolds have been reported. Being autologous, comprising of highgrowth factor concentrates and relatively hassle-free preparation in dental setup, platelet concentrates arepreferred. The advancement in the regenerative endodontics field, with the introduction of the differentgeneration of platelet concentrates, is a breakthrough.

Abstract

Endodontic plays a major role in uplifting the quality of oral health. Retherapy offers the patient a subsequentprospect to save a tooth that would otherwise be certain for extraction. The prime objective of retherapy isto gain entry to the apical foramen by absolute confiscation of the root canal packing substance thus easingsufficient disinfecting and shaping of the absolute root canal system and terminal obturation. It can beconcluded that with the emergence of modern instruments and techniques it is bygone just to extract teethsolely due to periapical disease and endodontic failures. Advances in scientific proficiency and technicalability have assisted us to improve the prognosis of treatment, but it does not always end up in the desiredhealing response while doing clinical practice
