Gutta percha
Gutta-percha has been the most popularly used semi solid material for obturating the root canal system. Its acceptance as a dental material runs for more than a century. In contrast to rubber, which is an elastic material, gutta-percha is non-elastic. It becomes plastic when heated but retains it shape when cooled. The differences between the two materials arise from their different chemical compositions. Gutta-percha demonstrates minimal toxicity, minimal tissue irritability and is the least allergenic material available when retained within the root canal system when used as obturating material.
Tooth Under the Lens
Ground sections are ultra-thin slices of hard tissues such as teeth and bones that are meticulously prepared to study their detailed internal structure under a microscope. These sections are essential in various fields like histology (the study of tissue architecture), forensic odontology (identifying individuals based on dental evidence), and dental education (teaching students the microscopic anatomy of teeth).Tooth ground sectioning is considered an invaluable technique for studying dental anatomy, especially for visualizing the relationship between enamel, dentin, pulp chamber, and surrounding cementum. It has the added advantage of being a non-chemical and non-destructive method, thus preserving the tooth's natural architecture. For instance, in educational settings, ground sections help students observe the intricate patterns of enamel prisms or sclerotic dentin in aging teeth.This book aims to comprehensively explore the apparatus required, the techniques employed, and the recent advancements in the preparation and analysis of tooth ground sections.
Microbial Allies
The main cause of periodontal diseases, which are chronic inflammatory illnesses that impact the tissues that support teeth, is pathogenic microorganisms found in dental plaque. These conditions include periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss, and gingivitis, which is a minor inflammation of the gums. Traditionally, antibiotics, antiseptics, and mechanical debridement (scaling and root planing) are used in management. These techniques do have certain drawbacks, though, such as side effects, growing antibiotic resistance, and insufficient pathogen clearance. Probiotics, which are described as live microorganisms that, when given in sufficient quantities, help the host's health, have become a promising adjuvant therapy in periodontal care in recent years. Probiotics are a new, safe, and useful supplement for treating periodontal disorders. They provide a comprehensive approach to oral health by lowering inflammation, decreasing the growth of infections, and reestablishing microbial equilibrium. Evidence currently available supports the use of probiotics in periodontal therapy protocols.
Biomechanics of Aligners
Esthetics has always been the concern in the treatment options of patients and introduction of Clear Aligner was a major breakthrough in the journey. This book emphasizes on the most important aspect of Clear Aligner Therapy that is the Biomechanics of Aligners. Aligners are the current most preferred treatment option in Orthodontics and understanding the basic biomechanics is the key to successful treatment. The book helps in keeping up to the knowledge of the current trends in digital orthodontics and delivering an functional and esthetic treatment option to patients.
Pro- Inflammatory Markers as a Risk Factor in Chronic Periodontitis
Chronic Periodontitis is a complex inflammatory disease influenced by both microbial and host-related factors. Among the most significant host-derived contributors are Pro-inflammatory markers such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and Macrophage Inflammatory Protein(MIP-1α). These biomarkers play a critical role in mediating the inflammatory response to periodontal pathogens, leading to the destruction of connective tissue and alveolar bone. Elevated levels of these markers in gingival crevicular fluid, saliva, or serum have been consistently associated with increased disease severity and progression. Their presence reflects an exaggerated host response, making them valuable indicators of active periodontal destruction. As such, pro-inflammatory markers are not only involved in the pathogenesis of chronic periodontitis but they also serve as important risk factors for its onset and advancement.

Minimally Invasive Endodontic Access Cavities
Whereas traditional access cavities are portrayed as a dentist-conveniencefocused treatment, minimal access cavity preparation has been advocated as a patientcentered clinical strategy. The argument seems convincing at first glance because the old method is based on standardised shapes to provide direct access to all canal orifices, whereas dentine conservation through minimal cavities is intended to be achieved according to the clinical situations of teeth. The main justification for the socalled patient-centered approach is that the minimally invasive concept typically promotes the significance of leaving as much of the pulp chamber roof intact as possible. This is supported by the hypothesis that this is relevant to maintaining the overall resistance strength of teeth and, consequently, their long-term survival.

Dental Implantology and Bone Reconstruction in Oral Surgery
Dental implantology and bone reconstruction are critical components of modern oral surgery, aimed at restoring function and aesthetics in patients with missing teeth or insufficient jawbone. Dental implants serve as artificial tooth roots, providing a stable foundation for prosthetic restorations such as crowns or bridges. However, successful implantation often requires sufficient bone volume and density, which may be compromised due to trauma, infection, or long-term tooth loss. Bone reconstruction techniques-such as bone grafting, guided bone regeneration, and sinus lift procedures-are employed to rebuild and strengthen the jawbone prior to or during implant placement. Advances in biomaterials and surgical techniques have significantly improved outcomes, allowing for predictable and long-lasting results. By integrating implantology with bone regeneration, oral surgeons can offer comprehensive treatment plans that enhance oral function, facial structure, and patient confidence. This combined approach reflects a growing emphasis on precision, personalization, and long-term success in oral healthcare.
