Interfacial fracture toughness of self ‐adhesive and conventional flowable composites to dentin using different dentin pretreatments
ConclusionsThe self ‐adhesive flowable composite had reduced bonding efficacy to dentin compared with that of the conventional flowable composite, regardless of the type of dentin pretreatment. (Source: Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry)

Efficacy of articaine vs lignocaine in maxillary and mandibular infiltration and block anesthesia in the dental treatments of adults: A systematic review and meta ‐analysis
AbstractThe aim of the present systematic review and meta ‐analysis was to address the following Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome question: Is the efficacy of articaine better than lignocaine in adults requiring dental treatment? Four percent articaine was compared with 2% lignocaine for maxillary and mandibular infiltrations and block a nesthesia, and with the principal outcome measures of anesthetic success. Using RevMan software, the weighted anesthesia success rates and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated and compared using a random‐effects model. For combined studies, articaine was more ...

Effect of oral health behavior and demographic variables on gingival health in 11 ‐16‐year‐old school children in Chandigarh, India: A cross‐sectional study
ConclusionsAn inverse co ‐relation of gingival BOP with age, socioeconomic status, and a higher prevalence in boys was observed, necessitating periodic preventive dental education, particularly focusing on the target group. Additionally, early screening and prompt treatment to intercept the disease is advocated. (Source: Journal of Investigative and Clinical Dentistry)

Comparison of three different apex locators in determining the working length of mandibular first molar teeth with irreversible pulpitis compared with an intraoral periapical radiograph: A block randomized, controlled, clinical trial
ConclusionsIn the present study, we observed the negligible differences in readings between the EAL at the APEX mark readings, coinciding with the radiographic observation. Clinically, we recommend the apical foramen be located with the apex locators ’ APEX mark readings prior to identifying the apical constriction position.
