Oral cancer is a preventable disease and cessation of cancer causing habits like smoking, alcohol consumption and smokeless tobacco significantly reduces the risk of development within 5-10 years. Early detection of small cancers of certain sites such as tip of tongue and lip results in better prognosis. To assess the relationship between sociodemographic factors and oral cancer awareness-a hospital based study. The survey consisted of 300 patients who accompanied to Saveetha Dental College, Chennai. The questionnaire included 3 sets of questions along with sociodemographic factors such as age, gender, education, marital status and occupation. The first set consists of 5 questions (general awareness). The second set consists of 6 questions (knowledge of symptoms). The third set consists of 4 questions (knowledge of risk factors). A total of 300 participants participated in the study comprising 65% males and 35% females. A significant difference was noted in general awareness level, knowledge of symptoms and knowledge of risk factors with respect to age, gender, occupation, education, and marital status (P <0.05). Within the limitations of this study, among the different age groups, 18-30 age group; across gender, male participants; participants with single marital status; among the different education level, graduates and employed people among different occupational status were found to have high level of general awareness, knowledge of symptoms and knowledge of risk factors of oral cancer. Therefore it is evident that the sociodemographic factors do play a vital role in oral cancer awareness and was significantly related to the awareness level and knowledge of symptoms and risk factors.

“…Although NiTi instruments started a new era in endodontics in the early 1990s, they have increased the cost for dentists. Only 6% of endodontists identified rotary instrument systems economically (23). A current study conducted in the USA showed that 74% of the endodontists reuse the NiTi rotary instruments (24).…”

Aim:The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the cyclic fatigue resistance of two different single file nickeltitanium instruments -Reciproc blue (RB) and One Curve (OC)-used for single or in a certain number of times. Material and Method: One Curve (n=40) and Reciproc Blue (n=40) files were used in this study. The instruments were divided into two subgroups (n=20); those to be used for the first time (N) and those that were previously used (U) only once in the clinic for the root canal treatment of one vital mandibular molar with three root canals. Cyclic fatigue testing of these instruments was performed in an artificial stainless-steel canal with 60° curvature, 5 mm radius 1.5 mm width, and 3.0 mm depth. All the tested files were rotated/reciprocated under the continuous irrigation with distilled water at 37°C until fracture occurred. The time to failure (TTF) in seconds and the number of cycles to failure (NCF) were recorded. Data were statistically analyzed and the significance level was set at p<0.05. Results: A significant difference was observed among the four groups and between RB-N/RB-U, OC-N/OC-U, RB-N/OC-N, and RB-U/OC-U, regarding TTF and NCF values (p<0.05). Predicted time for 99% survival were RB-N>RB-U>OC-N>OC-U. The TTF value of RB is greater than OC in both the new instrument groups and the used instrument groups. Conclusions: RB showed higher cyclic fatigue resistance than OC files in both new and used instrument groups. Reuse of RB and OC instruments significantly reduced the cyclic fatigue resistance of the instrument.

“…Pulp therapy can be performed using various instrumentation techniques (Govindaraju et al, 2017a). Root canal treatment consists of removal of bacteria debris from the canal by biomechanical means like and shaping, to prevent infection (Patturaja et al, 2018). The cleaning and shaping of the canal are one of the most important steps in endodontic therapy.…”

Paediatric endodontics is an important clinical procedure used to manage pulpally involved or non-vital teeth. Endodontic procedures can be done using hand or rotary instruments for the canal preparation and removal of organic debris. The aim of the study is to evaluate the preference of hand or rotary instrument in multi-visit RCT done in permanent molars by pediatric dentists. The study was conducted in a university setting. A total of 300 samples were collected and the data was collected from the dental archives software. It was tabulated in an excel sheet and was analysed by SPSS software by IBM. The output was represented in the form of graphs and pie charts. A total of 300 cases were tabulated. 80.4% preferred rotary type of instrument. The most common gender preferred was male (p value=0.002) and the age was 17 years of age (p-value = 0.986). The most common type of tooth preferred was the mower molars( p value= 0.158). It can be concluded from the study that the Rotary instrument was the most preferred instrument in the permanent molars. The preference was more towards the male patient and mandibular molars with an age group between 16-17 years.
