Mesoporous silica nanoparticles are one of the widely used as carriers for drugs classified for different categories like NSAIDs, cancer, etc. They are synthesized by using four major materials, which include a surfactant, solvent, a silica source, and acidic or basic catalyst. By step by step, the addition of all MSNs is formed. The main part in synthesis is played by room temperature and particle size with its stability in solid form. They are characterized by using different instruments, which include ultraviolet (UV), FT-IR (Fourier transform- Infrared), SEM (Scanning Electron...

Aim: The study aims to analyze the antibacterial property of various endodontic sealers against Streptococcus mutans and Enterococcus faecilis. Objective: Pulpal tissues are frequently infected by bacteria and are considered to be the commonest etiological agents of pulpal necrosis and periapical lesions, which needs endodontic treatment for its cure. Microorganisms play an important role in endodontic failures, which is commonly due to incomplete elimination of bacteria from the canal or due to the recolonization of bacteria by leakages. Thus it becomes important for the sealers to have antibacterial property. To make long-lasting restorations, the materials should be made antibacterial. The objective of this study is to check for the antibacterial property of the restorative sealers. Methodology: The antimicrobial activity of five endodontic sealers (zinc oxide eugenol, amalgam, light cure composite, calcium hydroxide, and glass ionomer) was assessed against Enterococcus faecilis and Streptococcus mutans using the agar diffusion method. Reason: Microorganisms being the commonest reason for endodontic treatment failure, endodontic sealers should possess an antimicrobial...

Aim: To evaluate sleep habits of undergraduate dental students in a private dental college and the relationship between sleep habits and their academic performance. Objective: Sleep patterns and sleep problems amongst dental students have been addressed and related to their academic performance. Materials and methods: A questionnaire on sleep habits, academic performance, and lifestyle were administered. The participants are dental students from Saveetha Dental College. Background: Sleep is a basic drive of nature. Sufficient sleep helps us think more clearly, complete complex tasks better, and more consistently, and enjoy everyday life more fully. Sleep is, in essence, food for the brain, and insufficient sleep can be harmful, even life-threatening. When hungry for sleep, the brain becomes relentless in its quest to satisfy its need and will cause feelings of “sleepiness,” decreased levels of alertness or concentration, and, in many cases, unanticipated sleep. Reason: To analyze the sleeping habits and academic performance of dental college...
