Early childhood caries can be defined as the presence of one or more than one decayed surface in any of the primary tooth. Early childhood caries can lead to malnutrition, as in early childhood caries, progression of the caries can lead to pain and inability to chew the food. In early childhood caries there are disturbed sleeping patterns. Children with severe caries rate also shows reduced weight and retarded growth.   Keywords: Early childhood caries, ECC, Pain, Malnourished child

For the better anti-inflammatory or analgesics effects of drugs; enzymes have been widely used in the medical field either it may be arthritis or fracture of the bone or it may be oedema. Along with antiinflammatory action these drugs have anti-oedema properties, healing properties and fibrinolytic properties as like trypsin-chymotrypsin. In this article we are going to discuss about the importance or applications of these enzymes either alone or in combination with other NSAIDS in the field of dental practice. Keywords: Antiinflammatory, Analgesics serratiopeptidases chymotrypsin oral cancer.

Concept of dental ozone therapy is significantly becoming a trend nowadays, O3 is pure ozone gas has a soft sky-blue colour with a pungent smell extremely reactive, powerful oxidizing agent. It has a many biomedical properties like antibacterial, immune-stimulating, synthesis of Igs, etc. There are various uses of ozone in the field of dentistry, and the objective of this review is to shed light on clinical dental applications of ozone and summarize the research findings regarding the use of ozone in dentistry. Keywords: Ozone (O3).

The basic knowledge of sterilization and disinfection is the key to control the spread of infection from dentist to the patient, and vice versa from patient to the dentist. In the process of sterlisation complete removal of all the spores done where as complete removal of spores is not accomplished with the process of disinfection. Keywords: Sterlisation, Disinfection, Moist heat sterlisation, Autoclave, Infection control.

Removable complete denture till date exists as one of the treatment modality of choice to the edentulous patients. Complaints that are associated after delivery of complete denture is more of actual type and very less frequent of psychological type. In most of the cases education to the patient prior to the start of the procedure will help the clinician as well as the patient to understand the limitations associated with the use of complete denture. The most important thing is to motivate the patient to overcome these limitations. Keywords: Post insertion problems, Complete denture, Complaints.

To get the volumetric data of the maxillary and the mandibular dental arches, the teeth itself, the morphology of the bone, to get the imaging and extent of the bony defects that too with low radiation, cone beam computed tomography plays a major role. CBCT is very much helpful in detecting the three dimensional view of the alveolar bone, helpful in getting the quite accurate extent of the bony defects, helpful in some of the difficult cases of root canal treatment where the dentist is not been able to find the actual curvature of the canal or where the accessory canal has been missed from the primary canal. This technique cone beam computed tomography provides the image to the dentist with minimal of distortion. Keywords: CBCT, Three dimensional imaging, Minimal distortion.

Outbreak of serious pandemic disease, of corona virus was declared as emergency of international concern to the public health by world health organization. Till date no medication has proven its effects on the destruction of the virus. The prime most things which could help in the prevention of community spread of the virus are maintaining social distancing from other individuals of the community, hand sanitization with alcohol based sanitizers and frequently hand washing, self-isolation or quarantining the people with symptoms of corona virus. Keywords: Corona virus, Isolation, Quarantine, Pandemic disease.

Platelet rich fibrin is obtained from platelets, from human blood and can act as a biomaterial. Platelet plays a major role in the healing process as it contains various growth factors and cytokines. The main advantage of platelet rich fibrin is, it is prepared from patients own blood that’s why it is known as autologous material. It is very commonly used in the field of dentistry in the process of recovery, healing of tissue after surgeries and also in tissue regeneration. Keywords: Dentistry, Platelet rich fibrin, Healing, Repair, Tissue regeneration.

Root perforation is commonly caused by procedural accident during operative procedure or might be due to any pathological alteration. Perforation can be defined as an artificial communication between oral environment and the supporting structures in the external root surfaces which may causes serious implications that can even lead to extraction. If the perforation diagnosed at early and proper measures taken for the perforation, can lead to long term survival of the tooth/teeth. Keywords: Root Perforation, MTA, Calcium hydroxide.

A lot of difficulties encountered during restoration of grossly carious or decayed tooth or teeth. That may lead to the failure of prosthesis, if the procedure not performed ideally, it will indirectly affects the mental attitude of the patient toward the dentist. So a thorough knowledge of the factors that affects the longevity of the reconstructed tooth/teeth is must. Keywords: Post, Post and core material, Endodontically treated teeth.
