Trust the process : Role of trust in creative problem solving: A guidebook to empower individuals to build trustful relationships by establishing the role of trust in creative problem solving used in design consultancy - client projects
No full textTraditionally, conventional consultancies provide operational guidance to customers. However, market demands have shifted towards a human centred approach, leading to an increase in design consultancies. Design consultancies deliver not only great results but also introduce innovative ways of thinking through a process-driven approach differing from the result-driven process that clients were used to. The new ways of working poses a new challenge of rising uncertainty. Building trust with client organization reduces the inherent risk of working together, thereby building a stronger relationship. This helps consultancies gain credibility and create mutual reliability, improving brand loyalty and customer retention.Similarities with the creative problem solving process and trust building process were drawn to form a template. Further the research was scoped to see trust building from an individual standpoint, i.e. design consultant being the facilitator in enabling clients build trust towards them. The project was set with the research question of “How do individuals in design consultancies help build trustful relationships with clients amid the constant shift in design perceptions? “From empirical and theoretical analysis, eight driving factors and many trust building actions were identified. Apart from this, the research identified a lack of trust building awareness, how it is important to build trust around your context and with yourself. Further a trust building journey was developed that establishes how trust is built in a step wise approach and how it can be empowered for skill development for individuals seeking to work in a consultancy environment. The design solution is a guidebook developed to raise awareness and help surface the factors necessitated towards trust building through narrative-based learning. Narratives of working professionals experiences highlighting suitable actions taken for trust development helps individuals reflect on their ways of working and embed new actions that improves trust building.

Natural Product as the Storage medium for an avulsed tooth – A Systematic Review
No full textDental avulsion is considered as one of the most
severe types of traumatic tooth injuries because it causes damage to several
structures and results in the complete displacement of the tooth from its
socket in the alveolar bone. The ideal situation is to replant the tooth
immediately after avulsion because the extra oral time is an important
determinant for the success of the treatment and for a good prognosis. The aim
of this systematic review was to identify the recommended natural storage m to
store and transport avulsed tooth based on the survival capacity of periodontal
ligament cells.This paper reviews the different storage media that
have been evaluated for avulsed teeth based on full-length research papers
retrieved from PubMed/Medline, Lilacs, BBO and SciELO electronic databases
using the key words ‘storage medium’, ‘avulsion’, ‘tooth avulsion’,
‘replantation’, ‘tooth replantation’, ‘milk’ and ‘propolis’. Based on the
application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, About 14 papers have been
selected and critically reviewed with respect to the characteristics, efficacy
and ease of access of the storage media. The review of this study shows and
includes a wide array of wet storage media that have been evaluated in
laboratory-based studies on PDL cells found on adult permanent teeth.
Among the natural products other than milk,
propolis, coconut water, green tea extract, egg white, green tea extract,
Alovera gel, pomegranate juice, salvia officinalis followed by dragon blood sap
(Croton Lechleri) were recommended based
on the cell viability and its longevity. In an emergency, it is important for
dentists to consider the circumstances of the accident, the location and
suggest an appropriate transport media
ANTI BACTERIAL EFFICACY OF BETA ULGARISANDCINNAMOMUMZEYLANICUMAGAINST E. FAECALIS – IN VITRO STUDY
No full text  Objective: The objective was to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial potential of Beta vulgaris and Cinnamomum zeylanicum against Enterococcus faecalis.Methods: Ethanolic extract of B. vulgaris and C. zeylanicum was subjected to microbiological assay to determine its maximum zone of inhibition using Agar disk diffusion test against E. faecalis. Results: B. vulgaris did not show any antibacterial potential against E. faecalis, whereas C. zeylanicum showed a marked and significant efficacy against E. faecalis when applied alone and also in combination with calcium hydroxide.Conclusion: C. zeylanicum can be used as an ICM, or it can be combined with CaOH2 for effective removal of bacterial pathogens inside the root canal.Keywords: Antibacterial efficacy, Beta vulgaris, Cinnamomum zeylanicum, Enterococcus faecali
Antibacterial Efficacy of Modified triple Antibiotic Paste compared with conventional intracanal medicaments for root canal disinfection: A systematic review
No full textThe present study focused on evaluating the antibacterial efficacy of Modified Triple Antibiotic Paste (MTAP) in comparison to intracanal medicaments for root canal disinfection, encompassing both in vitro and ex vivo investigations. The traditional Triple Antibiotic Paste (TAP), consisting of ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, and minocycline in a 1:1:1 ratio, was found to exhibit certain limitations, including crown staining and an increase in bacterial resistance. Consequently, minocycline was substituted with alternative antibiotics, such as amoxicillin, cefaclor, and clindamycin, resulting in the formulation of MTAP. This review consisted of studies involving ciprofloxacin and metronidazole in combination with either amoxicillin, clindamycin, or cefaclor
Survival and success of rehabilitation of the edentulous maxillary dental arch treated via immediately loaded fully-guided implant-supported fixed prostheses
No full textAIM: This systematic review enumerated the criteria used to determine the survival and success of the rehabilitation of the immediately loaded completely edentulous maxilla with surgically guided implant placement and restoration via fixed prostheses. By identifying these variables, the authors of this review hope to propose a new set of criteria that addresses current expectations of success and facilitates a better comparison of rehabilitation protocols.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The electronic databases PubMed and ScienceDirect were searched for clinical studies of restoration of complete maxillary implant supported fixed dental prostheses. The analysis was confined to prospective studies with a minimum follow-up of 3 years and a minimum number of 10 patients published prior to June 24th, 2021.
RESULTS: An initial total of 781 publications was screened from the database searches. After further screening by title and abstract using PRISMA protocol and defined inclusion/exclusion criteria, nine (9) articles were reviewed. Analysis for survival and success criteria resulted in the following:
1. It was difficult to define a conclusion from the selected articles since there was little uniformity as to study design and the criteria used to evaluate the data.
2. High implant and implant supported fixed prosthesis survival could be achieved in the short-term (less than 5 years) when at least 4 implants were placed.
3. The type of surgical guide used for implant placement did not affect the survival and success of implants and implant supported fixed prostheses.
4. Immediate loading of the prostheses did not affect the success and survival of implant and implant supported fixed prostheses.
5. Widely accepted and reproducible criteria should be established to facilitate a better comparison of future materials, rehabilitation protocols.

Single-visit versus Multi-visit Endodontic Retreatment: A Systematic Review of Outcomes in Patients with Secondary Endodontic Infection
No full textFailure of the initial root canal treatment is usually manifested by clinical symptoms and/or a residual or newly developed periapical lesion. Retreatment is a common procedure done to treat teeth with failed primary root canal treatment. It can be performed in single visit or multiple visits. Single-visit root canal treatment has become an acceptable treatment protocol especially in primary root canal treatment due to the advantages such as time saving, reduced risk of inter-appointment infection and flare-ups, and lower cost with better patient acceptance
Influence of Different Educational Syllabus on Occurrence of Bruxism In 4 To 9 Years Old Children in Chennai
No full textIntroduction: Bruxism is habitual involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth that is seen in both children and adults. Diurnal or nocturnal para-functional habit has also been called bruxism. The etiology of bruxism has remained controversial and some investigators believe that psychological factors may play a major role in promoting and perpetuating this habit. Aim of this study is to identify how educational system affects bruxism Materials and methods: 250 students of different educational syllabi were randomly chosen and examined. Questionnaire was given to their respective parents to the bruxism in children
Result: Out of 250 children, 147 were studying in state government boards of education, 91 children studying in CBSE, and 12 children studying in montessori system. 60 out of 91 children studying CBSE, and 4 out of 12 children studying montessori system give a history of bruxism. Conclusion: Children studying in CBSE and Montessori had less number of bruxers compared to those children in state board curriculum
