Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a breakthrough in the field of technology which is rapidly progressing andhas captivated the minds of researchers across the globe. Ever since its discovery, dentistry has witnessedsome of the exceptional achievements. Hence, this technology as the future of dentistry is abutting theimplementation of its application. While, in no ways, AI can replace the role of the dentist, it is of primeimportance to be aware of the possibilities to integrate this technology in the future of a gratifying andsuccessful practice. The aim of this review is to analyse the role and applications of artificial intelligencein dentistry. The field of artificial intelligence has transformed medicine and dentistry in several ways. AIcan only assist the clinician in performing the tasks efficiently, but in no way, the intellect of the humanknowledge skill and treatment planning

Abstract

Apical or periapical lesions are inflammatory processes which are generally caused by microorganisms ortheir by-products and manifest due to defense response of the host to the stimulus in the root canal system.The aim of this study was to assess prevalence of periapical lesions among the south indian population.This was a descriptive study, where the data of the patients who reported to the dental clinics in saveethadental college, SIMATS, Chennai, India, was obtained from the department of conservative dentistryand endodontics. Data was further analyzed, recorded in microsoft excel software and was subjected tostatistical analysis. n = 15 for periapical lesions. From the data analysed through SPSS, it is observed thatthe prevalence of periapical lesions among non - vital teeth among the outpatients in the department oforal pathology is 1.1%. The age group of 60 - 70 years was the most commonly observed (60%). Malepredilection was noted (67%). Radiographic examination was performed for 40% and histopathologicalexamination was performed for 6.7% of the teeth with periapical lesions. 100% of the teeth observed inthe current study were non - vital. Periapical abscess was the most common finding (53.3%). Occurringmostly in anterior maxillary, anterior mandibular and posterior mandibular regions (26.7%) each. The mostcommonly observed treatment modality was extraction (73.7%). Within the limitations of the current study ,there exists increased prevalence of periapical pathology above 60 years, predominantly in the age group of60 - 70 years, primarily reported in the undergraduate clinics. Routine dental checkup with both radiographicand histopathological examination of the periapical lesions is essential for the survival of the tooth and isbeneficial for the community.

Abstract

Prosthodontics is concerned with the impact of tooth or tissue damage and partial or complete loss of teethon oral function in its broadest sense. It deals with this largely through prosthetic replacement. The disciplineoccupies a major portion of a dental school curriculum, and dental practitioners usually devote much of theirpractice to prosthodontic services. It is continuously evolving consequent to the rapid advancements in dentalbiomaterials science, clinical and laboratory techniques and technologies, education, research, therapeutics,literature, and interdisciplinary developments. While the basic process of making dentures has changed littleover the past several decades, new materials and techniques can help laboratories and clinicians providefunctional, esthetic restorations that offer exceptional value to patients. Implant treatment is a tremendousadjunct to removable prosthodontics in the treatment of edentulous patients, but it is not within the financialreach of all dental patients.In future, prosthodontics has a very good scope and it is going to be beneficial forthe patients who are edentulous.Technology developments are very much needed in future for its very wellestablishments .This review is aimed to discover some fascinating facts about the trends that are prevailingin prosthodontics and its future scope.

Abstract

Dental caries is defined as localized destruction of tooth tissue, mainly due to bacterial action causingdemineralized foci on peripheral surfaces. Normally, children have the habit of brushing their teeth once aday using fluoridated toothpaste. Due to this,there is less decay of tooth in them, as fluoride being a mineralprevents tooth decay. There is a relationship between fluoride toothpaste and dental caries, if a toothpastehaving 1000ppm of fluoride content, is associated with less decay of tooth, so the fluoride has cariespreventive effect. The aim of the review is to find out the role of fluoride in caries preventive effect, to knowfluoride toothpastes correct concentration to avoid fluorosis and other fluoride related ailments and finallyto understand the advantages of fluoride toothpaste as preventive effect of dental caries. This research wasconceived as scoping literature review. This review has accessed existing reviews and researches in the lastdecade mostly, through PMC database, MeSH, Google Scholar, Pubmed, Medline, CrossRef and the searchterms included were ‘dental caries’, ’fluoride toothpaste’, ’caries preventive effect’, ’fluoride’. Consideredresearch was limited to manuscripts related to English, dental caries, fluoride toothpaste (as caries preventiveeffect) and this review did not include or consider other oral problems, other preventive methods of dentalcaries, natural components that prevent caries attack. The description of included studies for the review istabulated. The role of fluoride in dental caries, its correct concentration in fluoride toothpaste is known andthe preventive effect of fluoride toothpaste on dental caries is well understood through this review. Withthese general guidelines, there is more possibility of preventing dental caries and excessive fluoride will notlead to fluorosis due to awareness of correct concentration of fluoride in fluoride toothpaste.
