The document discusses cavity preparation in primary teeth. It outlines the basic principles of Black's cavity preparation and describes how to prepare cavities for each class: Class I cavities involve occlusal surfaces, Class II cavities involve occlusal and proximal surfaces, Class III cavities involve proximal surfaces of anterior teeth, Class IV cavities extend into the proximal incisal angle, and Class V cavities involve cervical lesions. Stainless steel crowns are recommended for restoring teeth with large cavities or poor oral hygiene. Pit and fissure sealants can prevent cavities by protecting tooth surfaces.
The document discusses various dental procedures and materials. It indicates that the level of streptococcus mutans bacteria is significantly higher adjacent to composite resin restorations compared to other materials like amalgam. Poor proximal contacts from inadequate restoration of the contact area can lead to food impaction at the site of a recently placed Class II composite.
1. Management of dental caries includes identifying an individual's risk, understanding the disease process, and active surveillance to assess progression and provide preventive services or restorative therapy when needed.
2. Decisions for restoring carious lesions should consider visual detection of enamel cavitation, shadowing, or radiographic enlargement over time.
3. Evidence shows incomplete caries excavation in primary and permanent teeth with normal or reversible pulps results in fewer pulp exposures and less pulpal disease than complete excavation, and restoration failure rates are no higher after incomplete versus complete excavation. Partial (one-step) excavation leads to higher pulp vitality maintenance than stepwise (two-step) excavation.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDY DESIGN- RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALRishank Shahi
Randomized controlled clinical trial is a prospective experimental study.
It essentially involves comparing the outcomes in two groups of patients treated with a test treatment and a control treatment, both groups are followed over the same period of time. Prepare a plan of study or protocol
a. Define clear objectives
b. State the inclusion and exclusion criteria of case
c. Determine the sample size, place and period of study
d. Design of trial (single blind, double blind and triple blind method)
2. Define study population: Most often the patients are chosen from hospital or from the community. For example, for a study for comparison of home and sanatorium treatment, open cases of tuberculosis may be chosen.
3. Selection of participants by defined criteria as per plan:
Selection of participants should be done with precision and should be precisely stated in writing so that it can be replicated by others. For example, out of open cases of tuberculosis those who fulfill criteria for inclusion may be selected (age groups, severity of disease and treatment taken or not, etc.)
Randomization ensures that participants have an equal chance to be assigned to one of two or more groups:
One group gets the most widely accepted treatment (standard treatment/ gold standard)
The other gets the new treatment being tested, which researchers hope and have reason to believe will be better than the standard treatment
Subject variation: First, there may be bias on the part of the participants, who may subjectively feel better or report improvement if they knew they were receiving a new form of treatment.
Observer bias: The investigator measuring the outcome of a therapeutic trial may be influenced if he knows beforehand the particular procedure or therapy to which the patient has been subjected.
Evaluation bias: There may be bias in evaluation - that is, the investigator(Analyzer) may subconsciously give a favorable report of the outcome of the trial.
Co-intervention:
participants use other therapy or change behavior
Study staff, medical providers, family or friends treat participants differently.
Biased outcome ascertainment:
participants may report symptoms or outcomes differently or physicians
Investigators may elicit symptoms or outcomes differently
A technique used to prevent selection bias by concealing the allocation sequence from those assigning participants to intervention groups, until the moment of assignment.
Allocation concealment prevents researchers from influencing which participants are assigned to a given intervention group.
All clinical trials must be approved by Institutional Ethics Committee before initiation
It is mandatory to register clinical trials with Clinical Trials Registry of India
Informed consent from all study participants is mandatory.
A preclinical trial is a stage of research that begins before clinical trials, and during which important feasibility and drug safety data are collected.

Coronary Circulation and Ischemic Heart Disease_AntiCopy.pdfMedicoseAcademics
In this lecture, we delve into the intricate anatomy and physiology of the coronary blood supply, a crucial aspect of cardiac function. We begin by examining the physiological anatomy of the coronary arteries, which lie on the heart's surface and penetrate the cardiac muscle mass to supply essential nutrients. Notably, only the innermost layer of the endocardial surface receives direct nourishment from the blood within the cardiac chambers.
We then explore the specifics of coronary circulation, including the dynamics of blood flow at rest and during strenuous activity. The impact of cardiac muscle compression on coronary blood flow, particularly during systole and diastole, is discussed, highlighting why this phenomenon is more pronounced in the left ventricle than the right.
Regulation of coronary circulation is a complex process influenced by autonomic and local metabolic factors. We discuss the roles of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, emphasizing the dominance of local metabolic factors such as hypoxia and adenosine in coronary vasodilation. Concepts like autoregulation, active hyperemia, and reactive hyperemia are explained to illustrate how the heart adjusts blood flow to meet varying oxygen demands.
Ischemic heart disease is a major focus, with an exploration of acute coronary artery occlusion, myocardial infarction, and subsequent physiological changes. The lecture covers the progression from acute occlusion to infarction, the body's compensatory mechanisms, and the potential complications leading to death, such as cardiac failure, pulmonary edema, fibrillation, and cardiac rupture.
We also examine coronary steal syndrome, a condition where increased cardiac activity diverts blood flow away from ischemic areas, exacerbating the condition. The long-term impact of myocardial infarction on cardiac reserve is discussed, showing how the heart's capacity to handle increased workloads is significantly reduced.
Angina pectoris, a common manifestation of ischemic heart disease, is analyzed in terms of its causes, presentation, and referred pain patterns. We identify factors that exacerbate anginal pain and discuss both medical and surgical treatment options.
Finally, the lecture includes a case study to apply theoretical knowledge to a practical scenario, helping students understand the real-world implications of coronary circulation and ischemic heart disease. The role of biochemical factors in cardiac pain and the interpretation of ECG changes in myocardial infarction are also covered.
A comparative study on uroculturome antimicrobial susceptibility in apparentl...Bhoj Raj Singh
The uroculturome indicates the profile of culturable microbes inhabiting the urinary tract, and it is often required to do a urine culture to find an effective antimicrobial to treat UTIs. This study targeted to understand the profile of culturable pathogens in the urine of apparently healthy (128) and humans with clinical UTIs (161). In urine samples from UTI cases, microbial counts were 1.2×104 ± 6.02×103 colony-forming units (cfu)/ mL, while in urine samples from apparently healthy humans, the average count was 3.33± 1.34×103 cfu/ mL. In eight samples (six from UTI cases and two from apparently healthy people) of urine, Candida (C. albicans 3, C. catenulata 1, C. krusei 1, C. tropicalis 1, C. parapsiplosis 1, C. gulliermondii 1) and Rhizopus species (1) were detected. Candida krusei was detected only in a single urine sample from a healthy person and C. albicans was detected both in urine of healthy and clinical UTI cases. Fungal strains were always detected with one or more types of bacteria. Gram-positive bacteria were more commonly (OR, 1.98; CI99, 1.01-3.87) detected in urine samples of apparently healthy humans, and Gram -ve bacteria (OR, 2.74; CI99, 1.44-5.23) in urines of UTI cases. From urine samples of 161 UTI cases, a total of 90 different types of microbes were detected and, 73 samples had only a single type of bacteria. In contrast, 49, 29, 3, 4, 1, and 2 samples had 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 types of bacteria, respectively. The most common bacteria detected in urine of UTI cases was Escherichia coli detected in 52 samples, in 20 cases as the single type of bacteria, other 34 types of bacteria were detected in pure form in 53 cases. From 128 urine samples of apparently healthy people, 88 types of microbes were detected either singly or in association with others, from 64 urine samples only a single type of bacteria was detected while 34, 13, 3, 11, 2 and 1 samples yielded 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and seven types of microbes, respectively. In the urine of apparently healthy humans too, E. coli was the most common bacteria, detected in pure culture from 10 samples followed by Staphylococcus haemolyticus (9), S. intermedius (5), and S. aureus (5), and similar types of bacteria also dominated in cases of mixed occurrence, E. coli was detected in 26, S. aureus in 22 and S. haemolyticus in 19 urine samples, respectively. Gram +ve bacteria isolated from urine samples' irrespective of health status were more often (p, <0.01) resistant than Gram -ve bacteria to ajowan oil, holy basil oil, cinnamaldehyde, and cinnamon oil, but more susceptible to sandalwood oil (p, <0.01). However, for antibiotics, Gram +ve were more often susceptible than Gram -ve bacteria to cephalosporins, doxycycline, and nitrofurantoin. The study concludes that to understand the role of good and bad bacteria in the urinary tract microbiome more targeted studies are needed to discern the isolates at the pathotype level.

Factors Influencing Reaction Rates:
Concentration of Reactants: Higher concentrations generally increase the rate of reaction.
Temperature: Increasing temperature typically increases reaction rates.
Catalysts: Substances that increase the reaction rate without being consumed in the process.
Physical State of Reactants: The surface area and physical state (solid, liquid, gas) of reactants can affect the reaction rate.
Ventilation Perfusion Ratio, Physiological dead space and physiological shuntMedicoseAcademics
In this insightful lecture, Dr. Faiza, an esteemed Assistant Professor of Physiology, delves into the essential concept of the ventilation-perfusion ratio (V˙/Q˙), which is fundamental to understanding pulmonary physiology. Dr. Faiza brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table, with qualifications including MBBS, FCPS in Physiology, and multiple postgraduate degrees in public health and healthcare education.
The lecture begins by laying the groundwork with basic concepts, explaining the definitions of ventilation (V˙) and perfusion (Q˙), and highlighting the significance of the ventilation-perfusion ratio (V˙/Q˙). Dr. Faiza explains the normal value of this ratio and its critical role in ensuring efficient gas exchange in the lungs.
Next, the discussion moves to the impact of different V˙/Q˙ ratios on alveolar gas concentrations. Participants will learn how a normal, zero, or infinite V˙/Q˙ ratio affects the partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the alveoli. Dr. Faiza provides a detailed comparison of alveolar gas concentrations in these varying scenarios, offering a clear understanding of the physiological changes that occur.
The lecture also covers the concepts of physiological shunt and dead space. Dr. Faiza defines physiological shunt and explains its causes and effects on gas exchange, distinguishing it from anatomical dead space. She also discusses physiological dead space in detail, including how it is calculated using the Bohr equation. The components and significance of the Bohr equation are thoroughly explained, and practical examples of its application are provided.
Further, the lecture examines the variations in V˙/Q˙ ratios in different regions of the lung and under different conditions, such as lying versus supine and resting versus exercise. Dr. Faiza analyzes how these variations affect pulmonary function and discusses the abnormal V˙/Q˙ ratios seen in chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) and their clinical implications.
Finally, Dr. Faiza explores the clinical implications of abnormal V˙/Q˙ ratios. She identifies clinical conditions associated with these abnormalities, such as COPD and emphysema, and discusses the physiological and clinical consequences on respiratory function. The lecture emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts for medical professionals and students, highlighting their relevance in diagnosing and managing respiratory conditions.
This comprehensive lecture provides valuable insights for medical students, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in respiratory physiology. Participants will gain a deep understanding of how ventilation and perfusion work together to optimize gas exchange in the lungs and how deviations from the norm can lead to significant clinical issues.

3. INTRODUCTION
“Composite Resin” is a three dimensional combination of two or
more chemically different materials with a distinct interphase between
them.
Basically, composite resins consist of a resin matrix reinforced by
means of fillers.
In order to provide interfacial bonding between these two chemically
different materials, a silane coupling agent is present.
To control the polymerization reaction, activators, initiators and
inhibitors are incorporated.
4. INDICATIONS FOR COMPOSITE RESIN RESTORATIONS
Most class III cavities are restored with composite resins as they restore optimal
esthetics.
Class V cavities in esthetically important areas like the anterior region are also
restored with composite resins.
Class III and class V direct composite restorations are mainly indicated in the
restoration of carious lesions.
Many Class V restorations that are in esthetically prominent areas also are
appropriately restored with composite or other tooth-colored materials.
Composites perform best when all margins of the tooth preparation are in
enamel.
6. CONTRAINDICATIONS
• The main contraindication for use of composite for Class III and V restorations is an
operating area that cannot be adequately isolated.
• Class V restorations also may have their durability compromised when the
restoration extends onto the root surface (no marginal enamel).
• Any extension onto the root surface requires the most meticulous efforts of the
operator to best ensure a successful, long lasting restoration.
• Class V restorations in areas that are not esthetically critical.
7. ADVANTAGES
• Esthetic.
• Conservative in tooth structure removal.
• Less complex while preparing the tooth.
• Almost universally accepted.
• Repairable.
• Insulating, having low thermal conductivity.
• Decreased micro leakage.
• Increased strength.
• Good retention.
• Minimal interfacial staining.
8. DISADVANTAGES
• More difficult, time consuming and costly.
• More technique sensitive.
• May exhibit greater occlusal wear in areas of high occlusal stress.
• Insertion is more difficult.
• Establishing proximal contacts, axial contours and embrasures is more
difficult.
• Proper technique is mandatory in the placement of etchant, primer and
adhesive on the tooth structure.
• Finishing and polishing procedures are more complex.
9. CLINICAL TECHNIQUES FOR CLASS III
DIRECT COMPOSITE RESTORATIONS
Class III restorations are done on the proximal surfaces of anterior teeth, which do
not involve the incisal angles.
Initial clinical procedures:
Anesthesia is necessary for patient comfort and helps decrease salivary flow during
the procedure.
Occlusal assessments must be made to determine tooth preparation design.
Composite shade must be selected before the tooth dehydrates.
The area must be isolated to permit effective bonding.

10. TOOTH PREPARATION
Tooth preparation for class III direct composite restoration involves:
1) Obtaining access to the defect (caries, fracture).
2) Removing faulty structures (caries, defective dentin, defective
restoration).
3) Creating convenience form for the restoration.
Lingual approach is preferred for the following reasons:
• Facial enamel is conserved for enhanced esthetics.
• Unsupported facial enamel may be preserved for bonding.
• Color matching is not so critical.
11. Depending on the extent of the preparation to be restored, there are three
designs:
Conventional.
Beveled conventional.
Modified.
Conventional preparation:
• Cavity preparation is done using round bur from lingual approach.
• The cutting instrument is directed perpendicular to enamel surface.
• Initial opening is made close to the adjacent tooth.
• Incorrect entry overextends the lingual outline.
• The same bur or diamond is used to enlarge opening for caries removal.
12. Beginning class III tooth
preparation(lingual):
A. Bur held perpendicular to
enamel surface and initial
opening made close to
adjacent tooth at
incisogingival level of
caries.
B. Contact angle of entry is
parallel to enamel rods on
mesiolingual angle of tooth.
C. Incorrect entry overextends
the lingual outline.
D. Same bur used to enlarge
opening for caries removal and
convenience form while
establishing initial axial wall
depth.
13. Many class III preparations are done to an initial axial wall depth of 0.2mm into
dentin.
Ideal initial axial wall preparation depth.
A: Incisogingival section showing axial wall 0.2mm into dentin.
B: Faciolingual section showing facial extension and axial wall following the contour of
tooth.

16. CLASS V DIRECT COMPOSITE RESTORATIONS
Class V restorations are done on the gingival third of facial and lingual surfaces of
all teeth.
Initial clinical procedures:
Occlusal evaluation not required for class V restorations.
During shade selection, it must be remembered that tooth is darker and more
opaque in the cervical third.
Isolation may be achieved by rubber dam or no. 212 retainer.

17. TOOTH PREPARATION
• After the usual preliminary procedures, the initial tooth preparation is accomplished
with a round diamond bur, eliminating the entire enamel lesion or defect.
• The completed preparation is made with etched enamel and primed dentin.

NOTE: No matrix is needed for class V restorations because
the contour can be controlled as the composite restorative
material is being inserted.
