An In Vitro Evaluation Of Microleakage In Class V Preparations Restored With Hybrid Versus Silorane Composites., Fahad Umer, Farah Naz Farid, Farhan Raza Khan
Section of Dental-Oral Maxillofacial Surgery
Aim: To compare the difference in microleakage values using conventional and new low-shrink Silorane composites using the dye penetration method. Background: With improvement in adhesive technology, problems associated with composites have been largely overcome. However, microleakage due to polymerization shrinkage still remains a challenge. New Silorane-based composites are alleged to have less than 1% polymerization shrinkage, which would potentially decrease the microleakage, and hence, resolve this longstanding issue. Materials And Methods: The teeth were randomly divided into three groups (A,B, and C). Group A was restored with conventional composite (Valux() Plus), with a total-etch protocol, Group B was restored with …

Objective:To assess the oral hygiene knowledge, attitude and practices among school children and evaluate their DMFT (Decayed/Missing/Filled Teeth) scores.
Study Design:
Cross-sectional study.
Place and Duration of Study:
A private school of Karachi from March to April 2008.
Methodology:
Convenient sample comprising 300 students of grade 6 within the age group of 11-12 years was selected. A knowledge, attitude and practices survey questionnaire based on quantitative indicators was filled by the students. Clinical examination was done for DMFT. Data analysis was done by using SPSS version 11. Associations were assessed using chi-square test and a p-value of < 0.001 was considered significant.
Results:
