    Abstract Aim and objective: To assess and compare the degree of pain during local anesthesia administration and to evaluate the efficacy of transpapillary injection as a substitute for palatal injection in simple maxillary tooth extractions.
    Materials and methods: A split-mouth study was conducted among children aged 7-11 years who required bilateral extraction of maxillary molars. The individuals were subjected to conventional buccal and palatal infiltration for the first extraction. The transpapillary injection was administered for the subsequent extraction in place of palatal administration. 2% lignocaine with 1:100,000 adrenaline was used for both techniques. Faces pain score scale and visual analog scale were utilized to record pain during injection administration and during the extraction process. A
    Results: The difference in pain scores was observed during injection administration and was found to be statistically significant (
    Conclusion: The transpapillary injection technique was efficacious in eliminating the pain of the palatal injection technique for maxillary extractions.
    Clinical significance: Owing to the results of this study, the transpapillary injection technique can be used as a distinguished substitute for conventional palatal infiltration, thereby lessening the level of distress experienced by a pediatric patient during local anesthesia administration.

    Abstract Background: Findings on the presence of Helicobacter pylori in the oral cavity are conflicting. This bacterium can occur either transiently in the oral cavity or, in some situations, pose a threat to oral/gastric tissues.
    Aim: We investigated the presence of H. pylori in deep carious lesions of children and assessed its association with dental status and caries severity.
    Design: This cross-sectional study involved 20 children aged 3-6 years attending the paediatric outpatient clinic. Demographic and oral hygiene-related data were obtained from parents/caregivers. Caries status and severity were assessed using the DMFT and ICDAS II indices respectively. Dentine samples were collected and stored in phosphate-buffered saline solution. These samples were assessed for H. pylori using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. DMFT and ICDAS II scores were compared between children with and without H. pylori.
    Results and conclusion: H. pylori was detected in 70% of children with severe carious lesions (95% confidence interval: 46%-88%). The mean DMFT score was significantly higher in the group with H. pylori than in the group without (p = .001). The prevalence of H. pylori was greater in those with ICDAS II code 6 than in those with ICDAS II code 5 caries. Cavitated carious lesions can serve as a reservoir for H. pylori. Its presence was associated with higher caries status and caries severity (ICDAS II code 6). The presence of H. pylori in such cavities may tip the balance of plaque ecosystem in favour of Streptococcus mutans, the main bacterial source in dental caries.

    Abstract Nanoparticles(NPs) are of particle sizes lesser than 100nm and are insoluble the field which deal with the handling of these particles is coined as "Nanotechnology" as their particle size is smaller, they can penetrate easily therefore they are applied in various medical fields, drug delivery and in dentistry as they have antimicrobial property, reduces friction, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant property. Many studies have been done to evaluate its application and its cytotoxicity by varying its concentration and various studies have been done to evaluate its physical property. Therefore, it is of interest to describe concepts of nanoparticles, mode of action, tissue reaction and its application in orthodontics.

    Abstract The current study concentrated on the green synthesis of Zinc-titanium dioxide nano-composite (Zn-TiO2 NC) through the use of lemon extract, optimizing the different experimental factors required for the formation and stability of nanocomposite. The preparation of nanocomposite was confirmed by the observation of the colour change and the surface plasmon resonance band was found at 380 nm, utilizing UV-Visible analysis. The TEM analysis, the morphological features of the prepared nanocomposite was identified to be spherical shape with mean particle size of 25 nm. In addition, the antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activity of this nano-composite were also investigated. The biosynthesized nanocomposite showed excellent antibacterial activity against S. mitis and S. mutans. The obtained results indicate that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of this nanocomposite is significant. This bioactive nanocomposite can be used as an effective antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent in biomedical and pharmacological fields for future applications.

    Abstract Introduction: Titanium oxide (TiO
    Materials and methods: The formulation was prepared using rosemary and ginger, mediated by TiO
    Result: Increasing concentration led to decreased optical density, indicating bactericidal effects. Significantly lower optical density values were observed in decreasing order among the test samples (25, 50, and 100 μL) compared to control and antibiotic groups against Streptococcus, highlighting the potent antibacterial and antibiofilm properties of the greenly generated combination of titanium oxide NPs with herbs. This was also confirmed by moderate minimum inhibitory concentration at 100 μL.
    Conclusion: The present study suggests that there is a bactericidal process at play, leading to a reduction in the overall bacterial count. It can be concluded that the ginger and rosemary-mediated titanium oxide NPs serve as potential antibacterial agents against S. aureus. This study can be used as a preliminary study, and further studies can be conducted to use this formulation in the field of medicine.

    Abstract Aim: To compare the efficacy of lignocaine and benzocaine when applied as a topical anesthetic before intraoral local anesthetic administration in children.
    Materials and methods: Forty-four patients aged between 4 years and 10 years indicated for pulp therapy of primary teeth under inferior alveolar nerve block were selected for this study. The participants were randomly allocated into two groups of 22 each. Group I (lignocaine gel) and group II (benzocaine gel) were applied before inferior alveolar nerve block. The pain scale was assessed by a trained examiner using the visual analog scale (VAS) and sound eye motor scale.
    Results: Lignocaine when used as a topical anesthetic agent showed lower mean scores under both the pain scales when compared with benzocaine but the results were statistically insignificant.
    Conclusion: Lignocaine and benzocaine are equally effective when applied as a topical anesthetic agent. But lignocaine was more preferred in taste when compared with benzocaine.

    Abstract Any disturbance in the primary tooth can lead to an altered eruption pattern of the corresponding permanent tooth. This article presents a case of a carious permanent second premolar with an immature root that erupted prematurely following extraction of the infected primary second molar. The carious premolar was treated with a stepwise excavation, and a primary stainless steel crown was adapted to prevent microleakage and restoration failure. A follow-up evaluation at 4 years showed remarkable healing and complete root formation. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first case report in the literature that describes successful conservative management of a rootless premolar treated by pulp capping and restored with a primary stainless steel crown.

    Abstract It is of interest to compile available information on the root canal morphology of primary maxillary molars from known literature. The literature resources used to collect data include Medline/PubMed, The Cochrane Central Register of Clinical Trials, SIGLE and Science Direct. Data consists of type of population, number of teeth per study, number of root canals, canal length and type of root canal configuration. We used data from a total of 13 studies (951 primary maxillary molars). Maxillary molars (1st and 2nd) are dominant for two roots variant. The first molar the mean root length ranges from 7.9mm - 8.1mm. The second molar ranges from 7.2mm-8.5mm. Type I (explain in a phrase) canal morphology is the common variant in both the molars. Data shows that Root Canal morphology shows variations with the diagnostic aid (example micro CT) used and in different ethnic populations.
