Comparative Evaluation of the Use of LSTR with Double Antibiotic Paste Versus Zinc Oxide Eugenol as Obturating Material in Primary Teeth Pulpectomy
Abstract: The management of infected primary teeth is a vital aspect of pediatric dentistry, with the primary objective being the retention of the tooth in the oral cavity until its natural exfoliation. Preserving the health, structure, and appearance of primary teeth is essential for ensuring the correct eruption and alignment of permanent teeth.

Plant Bioactive Metabolites and Their Role in the Prevention and Control of Dental Diseases and Infections.
Abstract: The oral diseases, including dental caries and periodontitis, affect masses worldwide, and have historically been managed with synthetic antimicrobials that cause deleterious side effects, leading to mounting bacterial resistance. Consequently, contemporary dentistry is rapidly shifting toward phytomedicine using plant bioactive molecules, such as polyphenols, terpenes, anthraquinones (berberin, eugenol, curcumin, catechins, allicin, and azadirachtin. These compounds offer potent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and tissue-regenerative properties that are crucial for preventing and curing dental …

Internal Resorption of Maxillary Central Incisor: A Case Report
Abstract: Internal resorption is an idiopathic slow or fast progressive resorptive process initiated within the pulp space with the loss of dentin. The internal resorption is a result of osteoclastic activity. The cause of internal resorption is not known but generally the patient has a history of trauma. Internal resorption is generally asymptomatic. It may be diagnosed on a routine radiographic examination. In the paper, a case of 32-year old female …

Brain Abscess Originating From Odontogenic Infection: Rare But Life Threatening Sequelae of Dental Origin
Abstract: Archeological excavations have revealed that the cause of the several deaths of the pharaohs of Egypt was brain abscess originating from foci of dental infection. Effective drug treatment and medical regimens for the treatment of brain abscess were unavailable, until the age of modern antibiotics and advanced surgical techniques. Infective process of any origination in the brain may lead to a suppurative abscess that walls itself off (i.e., encapsulates preventing …
