Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial efficiency of 2 herbal extracts versus 2.5% sodium hypochlorite and saline in eliminating Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) bacteria within infected primary root canals. Materials and Methods: Forty roots of extracted lower primary molars were obtained and divided into 4 groups according to the type of irrigant: Group 1 (control) NaOCl 2.5%, Group 2 (12.5% turmeric irrigant), and Group 3 (25% propolis irrigant) and Group 4 (saline). Root canals were contaminated with E. faecalis bacteria. Bacterial counts were performed from samples that were taken from each canal pre-irrigation and post-irrigation. Data was analyzed …

Mansoura Journal of Dentistry
Objective: Dental plaque is a necessary etiologic factor in the onset and progression of dental caries and periodontal disorders. Numerous individual and material-based factors have an impact on dental plaque control. In light of the most recent evidence-based guidelines, this study's purpose is to determine the best toothbrush bristles surface plane design (flat; multilevel; angled), texture (soft; medium; hard) and to estimate how many dentists are aware of that too. Materials and Methods: This is a one-question survey directed on social media platforms of dentists' groups: - “Is it preferable to use a toothbrush with soft or medium bristles, and …
