Effectiveness of Planned Teaching Programme on Knowledge Regarding Dental Fluorosis
Abstract: Introduction: Dental fluorosis remains one of the most common disorders affecting the teeth, starting right from the early age. Hence it is important to prevent dental fluorosis from the school age level. To a certain duration (as per WHO; 0.6 ppm), fluoride ingestion is useful for teeth and bone development, but excessive ingestion causes a disease called fluorosis. The greatest matter in dental fluorosis is aesthetic modification in the permanent …

Recent Trends in Bio Ceramic and Polymer Compositesfor Biomedical and Dental Applications
Abstract: Advanced biomaterials with great promise for use in dental and biomedical applications are bio-ceramic and polymer composites. These composites combine the flexibility, biodegradability, and processability of polymers with the mechanical strength, bioactivity, and biocompatibility of bio-ceramics. Clinical success is often limited by the biological response and tissue compatibility of conventional materials such as metals and single-phase ceramics. Oste conductivity and bone-like characteristics are exhibited by bio-ceramic materials, such as hydroxyapatite …

Xerostomia and Salivary Gland Hypofunction: From Pathophysiology to Nanotechnology‑Enabled Regenerative Therapies
Abstract: Xerostomia, the subjective sensation of oral dryness, is a common yet frequently underrecognized condition with multifactorial etiology and substantial consequences for oral and systemic health. Salivary gland hypofunction underlies many, but not all, cases and may result from medication use, head and neck radiotherapy, autoimmune disease, systemic illnesses, or age-related and hormonal changes. Persistent xerostomia impairs mastication, swallowing, speech, taste, and sleep, and predisposes to dental caries, periodontal disease, oral …

Nanoenabled resinbased composites in restorative dentistry: mechanical performance, aesthetic outcomes, and global regulatory considerations
Abstract: Resinbased composites are central to contemporary restorative dentistry but remain constrained by polymerization shrinkage, wear and color instability, which compromise longterm restoration success. Nanoenabled resinbased composites (nanocomposites) have been developed to overcome these limitations by incorporating nanosized fillers and engineered nanostructures into conventional resin matrices, thereby enhancing mechanical properties and optical performance. This narrative Review summarises current evidence on the evolution, composition, and mechanisms of nanoenabled resinbased composites; compares their …
