Radix Entomolaris: A Clinical Case Report of Endodontic Treatment on Tooth #46
Abstract: Radix entomolaris (RE) is a rare anatomical variation characterized by the presence of an extra root, most often occurring in mandibular molars. This anatomical anomaly can present significant challenges during endodontic treatment, as it alters the traditional root canal morphology, making diagnosis and treatment more complex. In particular, RE is typically found in the mandibular first molar and can complicate canal identification, cleaning, and shaping. This case report describes the …

The Dental Pulp: Vital Core of Tooth Functionality
Abstract: Dental pulp, an intricately specialized mesenchymal tissue, possesses limited regenerative capabilities attributable to the unique anatomical arrangement and the post-mitotic nature of odontoblastic cells. The process of complete pulp amputation, subsequent disinfection of the pulp space, and the insertion of synthetic materials results in the substantial loss of dentin, leading to enduring consequences such as a non-vital and structurally weakened tooth.Nevertheless, a beacon of hope emerges in the form of …

Socket Preservation: Review
Abstract: The removal of a tooth results in remodeling and absorption not only within the socket but also in the surrounding alveolar bone. Alterations in the bone ridge following extraction are unavoidable, influenced by the initial size of the socket, with wider sockets requiring more time to heal completely. Both the height and width of the bone undergo dimensional changes subsequent to tooth extraction.The volumetric bone reduction changes occur after tooth …

Smile Perfection with Veneers: Current Concepts and Techniques
Abstract: Veneers represent one of the most remarkable developments in dentistry over the last 25 years. The breakthrough that porcelain could be bonded to composite materials and subsequently to the tooth surface has transformed aesthetic dental treatment. Veneers not only improve facial aesthetics but also enhance self-esteem, positively influence personal interactions, and can even play a role in professional advancement. These restorations offer excellent cosmetic outcomes while maintaining a significant portion …

Concern for Public Health: Periodontitis
Abstract: Periodontitis, a severe form of gum disease, erodes the bone that supports teeth and results in tooth loss. It is caused by bacterial infection and inflammation of the soft tissues around the teeth. About 70% of people 65 years of age and older are affected, on average. Red, bleeding, sensitive gums, foul breath, and receding gums are hallmark indications. Depending on the severity, a full dental examination, the insertion of …

Oral Health wsr to Dental Fluorosis: A Review
Abstract: Dental fluorosis occurs due to the hypo mineralization of tooth enamel. This can lead to discoloration of the teeth. Mild and very mild fluorosis can cause teeth to look whiter, and therefore, it can improve esthetic perceptions of teeth, thereby leading to better OHRQoL (Oral Health related quality of Life). On the other hand, moderate and severe fluorosis can cause more noticeable tooth discoloration and, in some cases, even loss …

Finite Element Modelling of Contact Stresses in Helical Gear Systems
Abstract: Helical gears are widely used in modern power‐transmission systems because of their high load‐carrying capacity, smooth meshing action, and increased overlapping of gear teeth. However, the design of helical gear pairs is constrained by contact stresses generated at the mating tooth surfaces, which can lead to surface fatigue (pitting), micro-cracking, and ultimately gear failure. Traditional analytical methods, such as those of the American Gear Manufacturers Association (AGMA) or International Organization …

Gear-Related Stress Analysis and Comparison Between the Fem and Agma Standards
Abstract: In many different devices, gears enable the efficient transfer of motion and torque. They are an essential component of modern mechanical power transmission systems. It has been demonstrated that bending and surface contact stresses at the gear tooth are the primary causes of gear failure, despite their widespread use. Too much stress can lead to tooth wear, pitting, or breakage, which can ultimately reduce the operating life and reliability of …

Effect of Fillet Radius on Bending Stress in Helical Gear using FEA
Abstract: A well-optimized change in root fillet radius could greatly benefit helical gear operation by providing a smoother transmission with less impact and noise. The fillet area of the gear root is an area of extensive bending stress concentration. An increase in fillet radius for helical gears is considered to minimise the bending stress at the gear tooth's base. This paper develops appropriate models of various gear tooth profiles of the …
