Calcified Canal and Negotiation-A Review

The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and distribution of mandibular teeth treated by single visit root canal treatment (RCT) and multi-visit RCT in a group of the Indian population. With the approval of the Institutional Review Board of Saveetha Dental college, the data of 3887 patients between June 2019 to March 2020 were retrieved and analysed. Data was collected from 3887 patients and were divided into the criteria of a single visit and multi-visit RCT. The data were tabulated into excel sheets under the headings age, gender, teeth, type of treatment. It was an Institutional based Retrospective study. It was observed that there was a statistically significant association in the age and gender of patients who underwent single visit and multi-visit RCT in mandibular teeth. The probability value P<0.05 was obtained after performing a Chi-square test, showing that multi-visit RCT cases (59.9%)were higher than single visit RCT (40.56%). Within the limitations of the study, it was concluded that the frequency of multi-visit RCT was higher in mandibular teeth compared to single visit RCT. Frequency of multi-visit RCT was higher in mandibular molars followed by second premolars in comparison to single visit RCT. The frequency of multi-visit RCT was higher in both males and females compared to single visit RCT.

“…Since our maximum prevalence was found to be in the young adult's age group (19-35) years, we believe that dental intervention is needed during or slightly before the attainment of this age. Although most dental practitioners are well trained to restore lost tooth structure (Janani et al, 2020) resulting from caries, avulsion (Rajakeerthi and Nivedhitha, 2019) and tooth fracture (Kumar and Antony, 2018), prevention (Jose et al, 2020) rather than restoration must be our area of focus.

Comparison of incidence of dental caries in the mandibular first molar in teenagers versus adults

The mandibular first molars are one of the first permanent teeth to erupt; thus, it remains the longest in terms of exposure to cariogenic pathogens. Also, its anatomical location and structure make it a prime location for dental caries (DC) but hard to access for cleaning. Thus, we aim to compare its incidence in adults and teenagers because the identification of the most susceptible age for tooth decay is key in prevention and prophylaxis against the same. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted by reviewing and analysing the data of 86,000 patient records from June 2019 to April 2020. Patients with treated mandibular first molars were selected from the age group of 13 and above. A Microsoft Excel 2016 data spreadsheet was used to collect data and was later exported to the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences for Windows (Version 20.0, SPSS). The number of males with DC in their mandibular first molar (59%) was higher than that of the females (41%). The highest number of cases were reported to prevail in the 'Young Adults' group, with 56.7%, followed by the 'Middle Adults' with 26%. This shows that adults have a higher incidence of DC in their mandibular first molars than teenagers. Also, there was a clear incidence of 46 having a higher incidence than caries in 36. (52.5% > 47.5%). There is an association between age and incidence of dental DC as proved by our Chi-Square Test, where we obtained a 'p' value of p<0.05, making it statistically significant. Once lost, our teeth cannot be naturally replaced, making prevention imperative. Thus, identifying the age in which we are most prone to decay is a great leap forward. But since the study does present with limitations, further research needs to be done to confirm the same.

“…The in-vitro studies conducted at our university includes (Ramanathan and Solete, 2015;Rajendran et al, 2019;Janani et al, 2020), the invivo studies include (Nasim and Nandakumar, 2018;Siddique, 2019), the molecular study (Ramesh et al, 2018;Noor and Others, 2016), the reviews and systematic reviews published are (Kumar and Antony, 2018;Ravinthar and Jayalakshmi, 2018;Rajakeerthi and Ms, 2019), the surveys conducted (Manohar and Sharma, 2018;Jose et al, 2020), and the clinical trial conducted on root canal irrigants were (Teja and Ramesh, 2019;Ramamoorthi et al, 2015). Currently, we are analyzing retrospective studies.…”

Association of age and sex of patients undergoing class 2 amalgam restoration in mandibular premolars

The most versatile restorative materials in the field of dentistry are dental amalgam which constitutes 75% of all restorative materials used by dental practitioners. Due to its excellent load-bearing capacity and low costs, it is still the top priority for many dentists. In this retrospective study, the details of the 86,000 patient records were reviewed and analyzed, out of which 160 patients who had undergone class 2 amalgam restoration in mandibular premolars between June 2019 to March 2020 were included in this study. The details like age, gender, tooth number and the surface of restorations were evaluated and entered in SPSS, version 23. The data were analyzed through a chi-square test. It was observed that there is no significant association between age, and surface distribution in mandibular premolars (p>0.05), however, on analyzing the association between gender and tooth surface, the statistical significance between gender and tooth surface was found ( p <0.05). Within the limitations, the mandibular second premolars had undergone more class 2 amalgam restoration than the first premolar. Disto occlusal restoration was performed in higher numbers, followed by mesio occlusal restoration in both genders.
