ContextEruption of teeth is influenced by various factors. Very few studies were carried out in the past on the eruption time of teeth in the Indian population.AimThe aim of the study is to determine the time and sequence, gender differences, pattern of symmetry in the eruption of permanent teeth in Hyderabad children.Materials and methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 1654 schoolchildren (806 girls and 848 boys) in the age group of 5 to 15 years from Hyderabad were examined for the status of eruption of permanent teeth.Statistical analysis usedResults were subjected to probit’s regression analysis. The average age at eruption of permanent teeth, excluding third molars, was given as the mean [± standard deviation (SD)] in months for each gender. A table of percentiles of the eruption time was also determined.ResultsUnlike most of the earlier studies which showed that girls are ahead of boys in permanent teeth emergence, no such pattern was observed. No significant difference was found in the eruption of permanent teeth in right and left arches. Eruption of all the mandibular teeth, with the exception of right first premolar (44) in both the genders, was earlier than their maxillary counterparts. There was overall delay in the eruption of permanent teeth and significant delay in the eruption of lower canines in both genders.ConclusionThe significant delay in the eruption of permanent mandibular canines is relevant for orthodontic treatment planning.How to cite this article: Chaitanya P, Reddy JS, Suhasini K, Chandrika IH, Praveen D.

Background: Endodontic treatment involves the removal of the vital and necrotic contents of the root canal through chemo-mechanical means followed by obturation of the prepared root canal to prevent the ingress of fluids and avoid bacterial infection or regrowth. Root canal sealers and core filling materials are used together to fill the irregularities in the root. Penetration into the dentinal tubules also results in the inhibition of bacterial regrowth and increases the success of root canal therapy. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the penetration depth of various sealers into the dentinal tubules using a confocal microscope. Materials and methods: A total of 65 specimens were decoronated to standardize the root length of 13mm. Working length was determined, and Biomechanical preparation for all the samples was done with a rotary ProTaper file till F4. Samples were randomly divided into five groups containing 13 teeth in each group based on the sealer used, namely Group 1: Endomethasone (n=13), Group 2: AH-Plus (n=13), Group 3: Roekoseal (n=13), Group 4: MTA Fillapex (n=13), Group 5: Endosequence BC (n=13). All the sealers were labelled with Rhodamine-B dye, and samples were obturated using cold lateral compaction technique. The specimens were sectioned orthogonally at coronal, middle, and apical thirds. All the samples were examined with a Zeiss Pascal Laser Scanning Microscope to examine the sealer penetration depth into the dentinal tubules. The data were subjected to statistical analysis using one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's Honest Significant Difference (HSD) tests. Results: Endosequence BC showed the highest penetration into dentinal tubules, followed by MTA Fillapex and Roekoseal, AH-Plus, and Endomethasone exhibited the least penetration. Conclusion: Endosequence BC sealer exhibited maximum penetration. All the groups showed maximum penetration at coronal third, followed by the middle and apical third.

Biomaterials have evolved over the past three decades and are relatively specialized, highly biocompatible, but low-strength dental materials. Bioactive materials can interact with living tissues or systems. The newly emerging bioactive category of dental materials has expanded clinical uses in restorative dentistry and endodontics. Examples of bioactive materials are Calcium Silicate containing Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (Portland cement); Calcium Silicate cements lacking aluminium and containing phosphate: Bioagrregate, iRoot SP and iRoot BP (Endosequence), Calcium Silicate cements containing predominantly Tricalcium Silicate: Bio-active Glass, Calcium Phosphate based materials: Tricalcium Phosphate, Hydroxyapatite, Calcium Phosphate cements and Calcium Aluminate based materials: GIC based luting cements; Bioactive Glass. Other biomimetic materials include Emdogain, Platelet Rich Plasma, Platelet Rich Fibrin, Bone grafts and barrier membranes. Thus, the objective of this review was to compare and review the composition, and properties of these bioactive materials in endodontics
