ABSTRACT

Background: Supernumerary teeth (ST) are those that exceed the normal dental formula. This phenomenon is also known as hyperdontia, and can occur in solitary or multiple forms, might be unilateral or bilateral, and affect one or both jaws. Aim: To study the prevalence, gender variations in terms of frequency, characteristic, distribution, and associated complications with the presence of ST in 3,000 school-going children of age 6-15 years in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, India. Materials and methods: The study consisted of an examination of randomly selected 3,000 children, female (group I) and male (group II), between the age-group of 6 and 15 years, from both private and government-aided schools. Clinical examinations were carried out by a single investigator under natural daylight in a systematic manner using a mouth mirror and straight probe only. The demographic profiles and number of teeth, including the presence of any ST (site, region, eruption status, morphology, and whether it was present unilaterally or bilaterally), were ascertained. Malocclusion or any complications associated with ST were also noted. Results: ST prevalence was found to be 1.87%, with male to female ratio of 2.29:1. Out of 56 children with ST, eight children had double ST while 48 had single, 53 ST were present in maxilla, and only three in mandible. Based on the region, 51 ST were present in the midline, four in the central incisor region, and one in the molar region. According to morphology, 38 ST were conical, 11 ST were tuberculate, and seven ST were supplementary. Twenty-two ST had associated complications, while 34 ST were asymptomatic. Conclusion: ST prevalence is relatively less, but if left neglected, it can pose serious associated dental problems in the child. How to cite this article: Singh AK, Soni S, Jaiswal D, et al.

ABSTRACT

AIM: The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of root canal sealer's antimicrobial activity against Enterococcus faecalis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Root canal sealers with the brands Endoflas FS, AH Plus, and Tubli-Seal EWT were selected. Enterococcus faecalis organisms' zone of inhibition was measured. Tukey post hoc tests and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to compare the data among study groups and within its group. The data were said to be statistically significant with an established p-value less than 0.05. RESULTS: The maximum zone of inhibition (23.20 ± 1.202 mm) was shown by Endoflas FS sealer; AH Plus and Tubli-Seal showed the inhibition zone of (18.42 ± 1.023) and (16.88 ± 0.962) respectively, following Endoflas FS. The ANOVA test showed p < 0.0001, which is highly statistically significant. AH Plus and Endoflas FS showed a statistically significant difference of 0.04 and 0.001 in between groups, and there was no statistically significant difference in the Tubli-Seal group from Tukey post hoc test. CONCLUSION: The study showed that Endoflas FS sealer has a significant antimicrobial effect against E. faecalis. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: In clinical situation, despite perfect che-momechanical root canal preparation, persistence of microorganisms may reinfect the root canal. Therefore, endodontic root canal sealers play a major role in the eradication of bacteria. The polymicrobial nature of endodontic infection plays a main role during the usage of endodontic sealer with antimicrobial agents, which in turn reduces the failure of endodontic treatment.

ABSTRACT

Cemento-ossifying fibromas are rare fibro-osseous benign neoplasms that affect the jaws. They are included in the group of mesodermal odontogenic tumors and commonly present as a progressively growing lesion that might attain enormous size with resultant deformity, if left untreated. A confusion prevails on the terminology, which can only be confirmed by histopathologic evaluation. A case of cemento-ossifying fibroma involving the right mandible is described in a 30 year-old female patient. The clinical, radiographic, histologic features are presented and the various differential diagnosis are discussed.
