Comparative Study Of Maxillary Expansion By Alternate Rapid Maxillary Expansion And Constriction Versus Hyrax Expansion, Manar Mahmoud, Ahmad Salama, Samir Ibrahim
Al-Azhar Journal of Dentistry
Aim of study: was to evaluate the skeletal and dental effects of maxillary expansion by alternate rapid maxillary expansions and constrictions technique in comparison to conventional RME expansion by Hyrax by using PA cephalometry. Material and methods: Twenty patients with constricted maxillary arch represented with an unilateral or bilateral posterior cross bite were selected with ages ranged from 12-15 years. Patients were divided randomly into two equal groups by computer aided randomization according to the protocol of expansion into (Group I): who received alternate rapid maxillary expansions and constrictions (Alt-RAMEC) protocol and (Group II): who received conventional RME protocol. Results: …

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of two mouth rinses (pomegranate fresh juice and pomegranate peel extract), against chlorhexidine mouthwash on salivary S.mutans count in a group of Egyptian children. Materials and Methods: A total of 45 Egyptian children from both sex were included in this study. Children age ranging from 5 to 10 years old in a good physical condition. Children randomly were distributed into three Groups A , B & C, each of 15 children in each group. Group A (using pomegranate fresh juice): consisted of fifteen children, each participant was instructed to rinse with …
Evaluation Of Antimicrobial Efficacy Of Chitosan As Root Canal Irrigant On Enterococcus Faecalis, Asmaa Faiek, Magda El-Malt, Haneya Ali, Eman Mohamed
Evaluation Of Antimicrobial Efficacy Of Chitosan As Root Canal Irrigant On Enterococcus Faecalis, Asmaa Faiek, Magda El-Malt, Haneya Ali, Eman Mohamed
Al-Azhar Journal of Dentistry
Purpose: To evaluate the antimicrobial effect of chitosan as root canal irrigant on Enterococcus faecalis in comparison to 3%NaOCL in experimentally infected primary anterior root canals. Materials and methods: Access cavity and mechanical preparation of root canals of 30 extracted primary anterior teeth which were then sterilized at autoclave at 1210 for 15 minutes. These teeth inoculated with Enterococcus faecalis with reference strain ATCC 19433.Then grouped into three groups which were irrigated with 3%NaOCl, 0.5% chitosan and saline respectively. Samples were cultured on bile auscline agar incubated at 370 for 24 hours. Counting of colony forming units formed before and …
Evaluation Of Medicinal Plant Extract Versus Traditional Medicament Used For Vital Pulpotomy Of Primary Molars, Safaa El Sayed, Mervat Fawzy, Mohamad Hassan
Evaluation Of Medicinal Plant Extract Versus Traditional Medicament Used For Vital Pulpotomy Of Primary Molars, Safaa El Sayed, Mervat Fawzy, Mohamad Hassan
Al-Azhar Journal of Dentistry
Purpose: To evaluate clinically, radiographically and histologically the postoperative success of Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS) and formocreosl (FC) in pulpotomy procedures for primary teeth. Materials and Method: 70 Primary molars found in 27 patients were selected according to inclusion criteria. In the first part of the study pulpotomy was accomplished in 22 patients having 60 teeth (30 each group) and depending on the type of radicular pulp medicament, the teeth were divided randomly and equally into 2 groups: Group I(FC) and Group II (ABS). Clinical follow up was done after 1,3,6 and 9 months.Periapical radiographs were taken at 3 ,6 …
A Comparative Evaluation Of Equia Forte Microleakage Versus Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer, Aya Ali, Magda El-Malt, Eman Mohamed
A Comparative Evaluation Of Equia Forte Microleakage Versus Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer, Aya Ali, Magda El-Malt, Eman Mohamed
Al-Azhar Journal of Dentistry
Purpose: To compare between micoleakage of EQUIA Forte and resin modified glass ionomer cement in primary and permanent teeth. Materials and methods: Preparation of class v cavities on the labial surface of 45 primary anterior teeth and 45 premolars was done. Teeth were then grouped and restored with EQUIA Forte, Fuji II LC, or Riva light cure. The microleakage at tooth restoration interface was done using dye penetration test with methylene blue. Scores were recorded for dye penetration depth at the occlual and cervical margins using stereomicroscope.Results: Occlusal and cervical segments of primary and permanent teeth showed that higher scores …
