Introduction:The fact that most patients are unaware of root canal therapy (RCT) adequately is a major drawback. To effectively address the problem, it is important to comprehend and pinpoint the elements that prevent or deter patients from undergoing RCT. The aim of present study is to evaluate the patient perception toward RCT. Material and Methods: 260 patients who completed the pre and post treatment survey were included in the study. Patient perception, pain and anxiety were recorded pre and post RCT. The data was analyzed using SPSS software version 21.0 Results: The most common pretreatment concerns were future maintenance (41%) and pain (23%). Forty three percent of patients said they had anticipation of pain, whereas 6% said they had pain throughout therapy. Conclusion:The results of this study indicate that endodontic therapy typically causes less pain than anticipated. When it comes to root canal therapy, most patients were worried about future maintenance.

Introduction:The use of aseptic procedures & thorough cleaning are crucial to the effectiveness of root canal therapy. Hence the current study is conducted to assess the impact of herbal & chemical disinfectant on the properties of GP. Material and Methods: From a sealed packet, four different groups of 60 GP cones of size F3 Pro Taper were taken out. Except for the control group, the investigational groups were cleaned with, 90% AV gel, 5.25% SH & 2% CHX. On a testing machine, the GP cones' tensile strength was determined, & a stereomicroscope was used to examine the surface roughness. Results: From lowest to greatest, the mean tensile strength was 10.13 for 5.25 percent SH, 12.05 for 2% CHX, 12.56 for 90% AV, & 17.43 for the control group. In contrast to the control & AV groups, which had minimal surface pitting, the 5.25% SH group under stereomicroscopy had substantial surface pitting. Conclusion: At 90%, Aloe vera gel may be used as a more secure GP cone disinfection.

Introduction:The removal of germs, especially fungi, from the intricate three-dimensional root canal system is a crucial aspect of endodontic treatment. Antimicrobial flora in the endodontic canal is treated with intracanal medications. There is prevalence of C.albicans in oral cavity. The aim of this study is to compare the antimicrobial efficiency of three different intracanal medicament against C. albicans. Material and Methods: There were 75 teeth removed for orthodontic purposes were randomly assigned to one of three exploratory groups (n = 25), and the following intracanal medications were used: GA-Ca(OH)2, GB-Leder mix paste, and GC-silver nanoparticles (SNP). After loading the various intracanal medications, all groups were randomly separated into three uniform subgroups (n = 5), and they were subsequently incubated for varied lengths of time at a temperature and humidity of 37 °C and 100%, respectively. A 0.1 mL aliquot of the microbial suspension was respectively plated on SDB agar. The number of CFU was determined and reported for groups A, B, and C after the incubation periods of 24 hours, 7 days, and 14 days, respectively. Results: There was a notable dissimilarity between the groups A, B, and C (p<0.01). Group C was associated with a decreased amount of CFU at all three different meantime. Conclusion: SNP alone was significantly better in its antimicrobial efficacy against C. albicans over the period of 24 hours, 7 days, and 14 days.
