Exploring The Customized Fixtures for Evaluation of Three-point Bending Strength of Dental ...
Conclusion: The fixtures for TPBS test of RBCs are successfully designed and developed which will likely facilitate the researcher s with mechanical characterization of dental materials. A machine used for testing of large industrial materials other than small dimensional dental materials can now be used to test TPBS of RBCs according to ISO 4049 with the help of the invented economical fixtures. This will enhance the quality o f teaching and learning of materials science in developing countries. (Source: Journal of Dental Materials and Techniques)

Artifacts of Titanium, Zirconium and binary Titanium-Zirconium abutments in CT, CBCT, MRI
Aim: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate imaging artifacts induced by Titanium, Zirconium, Titanium-Zirconium abutments in CT, MRI and CBCT imaging modalities.Methods: A 4 ×8mm titanium fixture was inserted in a dry human mandible. Titanium, Zirconium and Titanium–Zirconium abutments measuring 10.5 mm in height are located on the fixture, one by one. Each abutment was scanned 4 times by each imaging modality. Gray value of the images was evaluated in four determine d regions adjacent to distal, mesial, buccal and lingual aspects of the implant as the region of interest (ROI) by two observers using image J sof...

Mothers' Knowledge and Practice towards the effects of using iron supplements on tooth staining ...
This study aims to assess mother ’s knowledge and practice towards the effects of iron supplement use on dental caries and staining of 6 months to 2 year‑old children in Yazd, Iran.Methods and Material: A randomized cross-sectional study was conducted among 403 mother– child (between 6 monthsTo 2 years) pairs who referred to health service centres in Yazd in 2011. Using a questionnaire, we assessed mother's knowledge and practice, and categorized it as sufficient or insufficient. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results: Knowledge, and practice was sufficient in 241 (59.8%), and 273 (67.7%) mothersâ€...

Effects of root canal irrigants and medicaments on dentin and vice versa: a review
Microorganisms are very important in the initiation and perpetuation of pulpal and periapical infections. Due to the complex anatomy of the root canal system, mechanical instrumentation of the root canal system should be supplemented with proper root canal irrigants and medicaments. It has been revealed that due to the interactions of root canal irrigants and medicaments with dentin and contents of the root canal system, the antimicrobial effect of root canal irrigants and medicaments in root canal system (ex vivo) are different from that in vitro. Furthermore, root canal irrigants may decrease the fracture resistance of d...
