Among oral pathologic lesions, odontomas are the most common odontogenic tumor of the jaws and generally asymptomatic. They are mostly diagnosed as a result of routine radiographic investigation. In this report, we describe a very rare occurrence of bilateral complex odontoma in the region of the mandibular second premolar. Conservative surgical procedure was planned, and removal of the odontomas was carried out through the socket after extraction of the deciduous second molars, and the diagnosis was confirmed with a histopathological study.

Hui Theng Chee, Wan Zaripah Wan Bakar, Zuryati Ab Ghani, Bennett T Amaechi
Dent Res J
2018, 15:215 (3 May 2018)
DOI
:10.4103/1735-3327.231867
Background:
Composite resin (CR) currently is one of the most commonly used material in restoring noncarious cervical lesions (NCCL) due to its strength and esthetics color but has microleakage problem. The aim of this study is to compare
in vitro
the microleakage depth between CR and porcelain in restoring NCCL.
Materials and Methods:
This an
in vitro
study was done by preparing cavities on the buccocervical surface of 62 extracted premolar teeth which randomly assigned to two groups (
n
= 31) where Group 1 was restored with nanocomposite and Group 2 was cemented with porcelain cervical inlays. They were then subjected to thermocycling before immersion in 2% methylene blue dye for 24 h. Dye penetration depths were measured using Leica imaging system For statistical analysis, independent
t
-test was used to analyze the results (
P
< 0.05).
Results:
Porcelain cervical inlay restorations demonstrated statistically lesser microleakage depth for the cervical margins (
P
= 0.018) when compared to CR. Deeper microleakage depth at the cervical compared to coronal margins of CR (
P
= 0.006) but no significant difference of both margins for porcelain cervical inlays (
P
= 0.600).
Conclusion:
Porcelain cervical inlays show lesser microleakage than CR which could be alternative treatment option in restoring NCCL with better marginal seal and esthetics.

Dent Res J
2018, 15:201 (3 May 2018)
DOI
:10.4103/1735-3327.231864
Background:
Stainless steel crown (SSC) is the most reliable restoration for primary teeth with extensive caries. Retention is of great importance for a successful restoration and is provided by various factors such as luting cements. The aim of this study was to evaluate the retentive strength of SSC cemented with four different luting cements.
Materials and Methods:
In this
in vitro
study, A total of 55 extracted primary first molars were selected. Following crown selection and cementation (one with no cement and four groups cemented with resin, glass ionomer, zinc phosphate, and polycarboxylate), all the specimens were incubated and thermocycled in 5°C–55°C. Retentive properties of SSCs were tested with a mechanical test machine. First dislodgement of each specimen and full crown removal were recorded. One-way ANOVA test followed by least significant difference test and Kruskal–Wallis test was used for retentive strength comparison at the level of significance of
P
< 0.05.
Results:
The results of the study showed that the specimens cemented with zinc phosphate exhibited higher retentive strength as compared to glass ionomer and polycarboxylate (
P
< 0.001 and
P
= 0.023, respectively).
Conclusion:
Zinc phosphate cement showed the most promising results; thus, it can be preferably used for cementation of the teeth with no grossly broken down crowns.

DOI
:10.4103/1735-3327.231865
PMID
:29922338
Background:
The herpes simplex virus is a human pathogen which can cause skin or mucous membrane infections. Melissa, sumac, licorice, rosemary, and geranium have antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and local analgesic effect. Shortening recovery period of recurrent herpes labialis and control of viral protein formation are the other effects of these herbs. The aim of this study is design, formulation, and evaluation of the gel containing extracts of these five herbs.
Materials and Methods:
In this experimental study after photochemical and macroscopic evaluation of these medicinal herbs, the semisolid concentrated extracts were incorporated in gel bases. Mucoadhesive gels were prepared using carbopol 940, sodium carboxymethylcellulose (Na CMC) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose K4M as bioadhesive polymers. Physicochemical tests, viscosity, mucoadhesive strength measurement, and
in vitro
drug release study were carried out on formulations F
10
(carbopol 940, 0.5% and Na CMC, 3%) and F
11
(carbopol 940, 1% and Na CMC, 3%).
Results:
Polyphenol content of extracts mixture was measured 210.8 ± 13.68 mg GAE/g. pH of formulations was 6.0 ± 0.2. 14 gel formulations were prepared. Physical appearance, homogeneity, and consistency of F
10
and F
11
were good. Mucoadhesion and viscosity of F
11
was more than F
10
. Study of release profiles in F
10
and F
11
formulations showed drug release from F
11
was slower.
Conclusion:
The best formulation for treatment and shortening recovery period of recurrent labial herpes infections should exhibit high value of mucoadhesion, show controlled release of drug. F
11
with the highest viscosity and mucoadhesion and the lowest release rate was considered as the best formulation.

Detection of aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans leukotoxin and fimbria-associated protein gene genotypes among periodontitis patients and healthy controls: A case–control study
Krishnan Mahalakshmi, Padma Krishnan, SC Chandrasekaran
Dent Res J
2018, 15:185 (3 May 2018)
DOI
:10.4103/1735-3327.231861
Background:
Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans
has been reported in higher proportions in subgingival microbiota of individuals with aggressive periodontitis (AgP) compared with those with chronic periodontitis (ChP) and healthy controls. The major virulence factors are the ones that help in colonization and evasion of host's defenses. Hence, this study was aimed to assess the prevalence of
A. actinomycetemcomitans 16S rRNA
and its virulent genotypes (leukotoxin [
lktA
] and fimbria-associated protein [
fap
]).
Materials and Methods:
In this case– control study We performed periodontal examination and measured probing depth and clinical attachment level (CAL). Subgingival plaque samples from 200 (ChP:
n
= 128 and AgP:
n
= 72) periodontitis patients and 200 healthy controls were screened for the presence of
A. actinomycetemcomitans 16S rRNA, lktA,
and
fap
genotypes by polymerase chain reaction. The prevalence of genotypes between periodontitis patients and healthy controls was compared with Pearson's Chi-square test.
P
< 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results:
Mean pocket probing depth and CAL were high as compared to the healthy controls. The prevalence of
A. actinomycetemcomitans
in ChP (
n
= 128), AgP (
n
= 72), and healthy individuals (
n
= 200) was 32.0%, 61.1%, and 2.5%, respectively.
A. actinomycetemcomitans lktA
genotype prevalence was 71.8% among periodontitis patients, while
A. actinomycetemcomitans fap
genotype showed 31.8% prevalence. The prevalence of these genotypes was insignificant in healthy controls.
Conclusion:
The high odds ratio for
A. actinomycetemcomitans
prevalence suggests its strong link to periodontitis
.
Detection of
A. actinomycetemcomitans lktA
+ genotype may be a useful marker for AgP as its prevalence was found to be high in AgP.

Dent Res J
2018, 15:180 (3 May 2018)
DOI
:10.4103/1735-3327.231860
PMID
:29922336
Background:
By increasing the number of adults seeking orthodontic treatment bonding orthodontic brackets to the surfaces other than intact enamel has become necessary. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of three different surface preparation methods associated with orthodontic bonding on porcelain color alteration.
Materials and Methods:
In this
in vitro
study forty-five porcelain discs (6- mm diameter, 2- mm thickness) were fabricated. The color of the specimens was evaluated by means of a Vita Easyshade. Commision Internationale de I'Eclairage (CIE) L* a* b* system was used for color measurement. Then, the specimens were randomly divided into three groups (
n
= 15) with respect to the surface preparation methods including a 9.6% hydrofluoric acid (HF) + silane, sandblasting, and sandblasting + 9.6% HF + silane. Metal orthodontic brackets were bonded. Samples were stored in 37° c water for 24 hours. Afterward, the brackets were debonded with a debonding plier and porcelain surfaces were polished with a tungsten-carbide bur. The color assessment was done, and ΔE values were measured. ΔE = 3.7 units were considered as an acceptability threshold. Data were analyzed with Paired
t
-test and one-way ANOVA. Level of significance was set at
P
< 0.05.
Results:
Orthodontic bonding changed the color parameters significantly. Mean L*, a* and b* difference were 1.35 ± 2.41, 0.19 ± 0.80, 0.89 ± 1.27 units, respectively (
P
= 0.003 for L*,
P
< 0.001 for a* and b*). There was not any significant difference in ΔE units between the groups (
P
= 0.456). In all the groups the mean ΔE values were below 3.7 units and within the clinically acceptable limit.
Conclusion:
Orthodontic treatment changed the CIE color parameters of porcelain surface. However, the color alteration is below the clinically acceptable threshold. With regard to color alteration, there is no difference between different surface conditioning methods.

Comparative evaluation of Enterococcus faecalis counts in different tapers of rotary system and irrigation fluids: An ex vivo study
Amir Arsalan Navabi, Abbas Ali Khademi, Masoud Khabiri, Paridokht Zarean, Parichehr Zarean
Dent Res J
2018, 15:173 (3 May 2018)
DOI
:10.4103/1735-3327.231866
Background:
Bacteria and their by-products are etiological factors for the failure of endodontic treatment. Reduction of root canal bacterial contamination is one of the chief aims of root canal therapy. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of different rotary file tapers and two irrigation fluids on
Enterococcus faecalis
counts.
Materials and Methods:
In this
ex vivo
study Root canals of 72 human upper lateral incisors were enlarged to ISO #20 K-file. Then, the samples were sterilized and inoculated with
E. faecalis
for 72 h, divided into six experimental groups and prepared with #30 Flexmaster files with 0.02, 0.04, and 0.06 tapers and two different irrigation solutions such as normal saline and sodium hypochlorite. The control group (
n
= 10) was subdivided into two groups with or without bacterial inoculation and no mechanical instrumentation. Cleaning efficacy was evaluated in terms of the reduction of colony forming units (CFUs).
T
-test, ANOVA, Duncan, and Tukey tests were applied to the groups. A significant level of α = 0.05 was set for comparison between the groups.
Results:
The canals instrumented with 0.06 taper exhibited greater significant reduction in CFUs compared to canals instrumented with 0.04 and 0.02 taper (
P
< 0.05); 0.04 taper also resulted in greater significant reduction in CFUs than 0.02 taper (
P
< 0.05). In addition, no significant differences were observed in
E. faecalis
counts between the two irrigation fluids (
P
> 0.05).
Conclusion:
Under the conditions of this study, root canal preparation with greater taper resulted in canal cleanliness and better debridement.

Microhardness of different esthetic restorative materials: Evaluation and comparison after exposure to acidic drink
Claudio Poggio, Matteo Viola, Maria Mirando, Marco Chiesa, Riccardo Beltrami, Marco Colombo
Dent Res J
2018, 15:166 (3 May 2018)
DOI
:10.4103/1735-3327.231863
PMID
:29922334
Background:
Acidic beverages, such as soft drinks (orange juice and cola), can produce erosion of resin composites. The aim of this
in vitro
study was to evaluate the effect of immersion in acidic drink on the Vickers microhardness (VK) of different esthetic restorative materials (one nanohybrid Ormocer-based composite, one nanoceramic composite, one nanofilled composite, and one microfilled hybrid composite).
Materials and Methods:
In this
in vitro
study, thirty specimens of each esthetic restorative material were divided into three subgroups (
n
= 10): specimens of group 1 were used as control, specimens of group 2 were immersed in 50 ml of acidic drink for 1 day, specimens of group 3 were immersed in 50 ml of acidic drink for 7 days. Data were analyzed by Shapiro–Wilk test to assess the normality of the distributions followed by nonparametric Kruskal–Wallis analysis of variance and Mann–Whitney U-test comparison test among groups. A significant level of α = 0.05 was set for comparison between the groups.
Results:
Mann–Whitney U-test showed that each material showed lower microhardness values after immersion in acidic solution (
P
< 0.05). Paired
t
-test confirmed that microhardness for each composite did not change after immersion in distilled water (Control group) (
P
> 0.05). Significant changes were registered for all restorative materials after immersion in acidic solution for 1 day and 7 days (
P
< 0.05).
Conclusion:
The Filtek Supreme XTE, a nanofilled composite, and Admira Fusion, a nanohybrid ormocer-based composite, showed the best behavior. The Ceram X Universal (nanoceramic composite) although reached lower hardness values than the previous materials, but resisted well to the 1 week immersion in soft-drink. Finally, the Gradia Direct achieved the most disappointing results: Low microhardness values are justified by the nature of its filling (microfilled hybrid composite).
