Abstract

Endodontic treatment can be predictable, successful, and relatively easy to perform if every individualstep is performed appropriately. Hasty mechanical and chemical manipulation of the root canal system canlead to procedural error. Procedural accidents during endodontic treatment occurs either due to inadequateattention to the details. Removal of canal wall structure on the outside curve in the apical half of the canaldue to the tendency of files to restore themselves to their original linear shape during canal preparation maylead to ledge formation and possible perforation.

Abstract

Ever since the introduction of calcium hydroxide in 1920, it has been widely used in dentistry. This is dueto the therapeutic properties of calcium hydroxide imparted by its high pH and dissociation to form ionsCa+2 and OH?. This makes it a remineralizing agent, a bactericidal or bacteriostatic agent based on the pHconcentration and also an anti-inflammatory agent. It is being applied for various purposes in dentistry likeintracanal medicament, pulp capping agent, root canal sealer, cavity liner, apexification, pulpotomy, canalswith exudate, perforation management and root resorption. This review article aims to describe in detail thevarious properties of calcium hydroxide and applications marking 100 years of its use in dentistry.

Abstract

Trauma and pulpal infections are part of the routine of the dental practice. Common consequences inthese cases are alterations in dental color, compromising patient’s esthetics and his interaction in socialenvironment. Bleaching aids to preserve dental structure as compared to full coverage crowns and alsoshow immediate esthetic results. This clinical case shows a bleaching technique in devitalized teeth usingbleaching agent with 35% hydrogen peroxide activated by LED light. The technique is simple to performand also shows satisfactory results.

Abstract

Norio Taniguchi, in 1974 coined the term ‘nanotechnology’. It includes the processing of separation,consolidation, and deformation of materials by one atom or one molecule. Nanotechnology has pavedpath for enhancing many material properties. Similarly so in dentistry it has led to enhancement of manytraditional restorative materials such as dental composite and GIC which has made it possible to use theserestorative materials in almost every region of the tooth. The aim of the present review article is to provideinsights into recent developments in the field of restorative dentistry favored by nano technology suchas, nano-composites, nano-bonding systems, nano-GIC, nano-varnish and sealants. It can be an aid to thedentist in clinical practice or in research field.

Abstract

Haematoxylin is the most popular nuclear counterstain used in routine histopathogical techniques forstaining tissues. It is derived from the tree Haematoxylum Campechianum (H.campechianum). The historyof haematoxylin reveals centuries of war, strife and discovery dating from the Mayans and Aztecs whoused it as an ink and fabric dye to the war resulting in the invasion of Mexico by European countries.H.campechianum was later named as logwood and block wood by the invaders that used it to generatehaematoxylin crystals to be utilized in textile industry. The recognition to introduce haematoxylin asbiological stain goes to Waldeyer. But later Bohmer introduced the technique of coupling a mordant to thedye making it colorfast and thus, haematoxylin remains a very unique and vital stain in histology till date.

Abstract

Histopathological examination is considered to be the gold standard technique for making a definitivediagnosis of various human body lesions. The handling of tissue specimens consists of extensive proceduresfrom the stage of surgical removal to the microscopic parts stained and placed. Owing to defective procedures,defects are normal in the tissue parts. These defects are known as artefacts. In histopathology artefactsmay cause serious errors and misdiagnosis. The precision of the histopathological diagnosis is based onremoving or reducing the artifacts in histopathological section.This article discusses the common artefactsfound during slide analysis alongside the remedial steps that can be performed to distinguish between anartifacts and the constituent tissue.
