Introduction For the prevention of oral health problems, health education of schoolchildren has a vital role. The oral health status of the children can be improved if health promotion in schools is conducted in a comprehensive and interesting mannerObjective Effectivity of game-based oral health education over conventional on the oral health-related knowledge and oral hygiene status among 8- to 12-year-old schoolchildren.Materials and methods A total of 150 children aged 8 to 12 years were divided into two groups. A pretest evaluation of their knowledge regarding oral health and the estimation of plaque index was carried out. Children in group I were given oral health education through PowerPoint presentation once daily for 7 days. Children in group II were educated through the play method (i.e., crosswords and quiz with PowerPoint presentation). The evaluations regarding oral health-related knowledge and plaque scores were recorded on postintervention 1 and 3 months.Results In group II, high knowledge scores of 10.32 and 9.98 were obtained by the on postintervention 1 and 3 months respectively. In both the groups, there was a significant increase in good oral hygiene scores and a significant decrease in plaque scores on postintervention 1 and 3 months follow-up, but much better scores were seen in group II compared to group I at both the follow-ups.Conclusion Implementation of crossword game-based oral health education program is an easy and effective aid for teaching oral health instructions and preventing oral diseases in children as the knowledge scores of children increased considerably when the game-based teaching intervention was used.How to cite this article Malik A, Sabharwal S, Kumar A, Samant PS, Singh A, Pandey VK.

Root anatomy is highly complex and unpredictable. The knowledge of the normal and its frequent variations can greatly enhance the success rate of endodontic practice. Variations in the number and the configuration of the root canals is common. Routine periapical radiographs help us to assess the number, length, curvature and aberration of the canal system of the tooth.

In group Nisin, the mean CFU was 10.6250 at 24 hrs, 6.6250 at 72 hrs and 6.2500 after 1 week respectively (statistically significant). In group Chlorhexidine, mean CFU was found to be the lowest of 10.5000 at 24 hrs, with further gradual increase to 13.7500 at 72 hrs and further increase to 15.8750 by 1 week. Similarly, in group linezolid , the mean CFU was found to decrease from 49.0000 at 24 hrs to 29.8750 at 72 hrs and then increase to 34.8750 in 1 week.

The precise knowledge of endocanalicular systems of different human teeth is a "road map" for the successful root canal treatment. Permanent mandibular canines usually contain one root with a single root canal. Many investigators have reported the anatomical variations associated with mandibular canines. This paper describes case of root canal therapy of permanent mandibular canine having two roots and two root canals (Type IV, Weine’s Classification). The clinicians must always suspect anatomical varieties and use all the available tools to diagnose and manage the cases.
