The physicochemical properties of saliva, such as pH, buffering capacity, calcium, phosphorous, amylase and Streptococcus mutans has a definite relationship with caries activity.

Caries removal with polymer burs and Carisolv were found to be as effective in caries removal and could be considered as alternatives to painful procedures as air-rotor in management of caries especially in children.

Most supernumerary impacted teeth are located in the anterior maxillary region. They are classified according to their form and location. Their presence may give rise to a variety of clinical problems. The detection of supernumerary teeth is best achieved by thorough clinical and radiographic examination. Their management should form part of a comprehensive treatment plan. This article presents an overview of the diagnostic problems associated with multiple supernumerary impacted teeth and includes a discussion of the classification, diagnosis, and management of this difficult clinical entity.

Impaction of primary anterior teeth is very rare. A tooth that fails to erupt into normal functional position by the time it normally should is considered impacted. A rare case of impacted dilacerated maxillary primary incisors in a 3-year-old child is presented. The diagnostic position of impacted primary incisors was determined using conical beam computed tomography (CBCT) to assist in surgical intervention with least surgical trauma to the tissues.

Split tooth is the type of crack or break in tooth, that has split vertically into two separate parts or in other words, with clinical features like pain, sensitivity, etc. although there are multiple causes for the split tooth but here in this case presentation, we are going to discuss about the split tooth in a diabetic patient due to carious tooth. Also, patient has many dental problems but here we are going to emphasize on the management of split tooth only and its restoration.

Teeth may vary in size shape and number. Mesiodens being the most common type of supernumerary tooth, seen in between two maxillary central incisors, usually results in malocclusion, poor esthetics and cyst formation if it is not corrected. The management protocol involves surgical removal. The situation can be complicated in young permanent dentition where there are a lot of chances of damage to the permanent dentition during surgical removal of impacted teeth. This article reports a case of palatally placed impacted and inverted mesiodens which was diagnosed during management of complicated crown fracture. The case was followed up to 3 years which showed a good bone formation.
