Objective: Background: This study evaluated the clinical and microbiological efficacy of Alendronate (ALN) gel versus Chlorohexidine (CHX) gel as an adjunct to mechanical therapy in the treatment of chronic periodontitis and compared this effect with Scaling and Root Planning (SRP) only. Materials and Methods: Forty patients with chronic periodontitis were randomly allocated into two groups. Each group of twenty patients was split into a study group and a control group, group 1 was treated on one side with ALN gel after (SRP) and the other side was treated with (SRP) only. group 2 was treated on one side with CHX …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of using digital bitewing imaging technique for the diagnosis of dental cracks. Materials and Methods: In this study, 60 specimens of extracted human teeth were collected. Teeth were divided into two equal groups; control group and study group. Cracks were artificially created on the study group by repeated thermal cycling method using boiled water and liquid nitrogen. Then teeth were mixed in a random manner and then placed in a waxed arch block to simulate the human geometrical pattern in imaging. The roots of the teeth were embedded …
