Oral healthcare awareness: AI has written Dr. Dhruv edited Oral health awareness education and preventive care are important for maintaining good oral health and preventing dental problems. Here are some key points to consider: 1. Regular dental check-ups: Regular dental check-ups at least twice yearly are crucial for maintaining good oral health.

  WHERE IS SCIENCE HEADING…? -          By Dhruv Subramanian Oct. 25 th , 2011 Independent thinking or Conformational thinking…? From a student’s perspective looking at the future, I would consider the ideal scenario should be collaborative thinking. While the motivational factors of searching for the truth remain the essence of science not rules, money, or politics. So, painting the ideal scenario brings us back to the question: Where is science heading? But the answer to this question leads us to another question: Where are we – the youth, under the guidance of our mentors, – taking science in the future? Small questions and thoughts for us to ponder… --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYNCHRONIZING TO FREEDOM… Nov. 3 rd , 2011 Stepping into the Unknowns… of Science brings the excitement and frustration of a challenge in Life...

  AI edited: My mission as a dentist is to provide the best possible oral care to my patients. While it may seem like a small mission, it is essential in preventing dental problems and improving the health and well-being of my patients. Every role, no matter how small, can have a significant impact on the lives of others. As a dentist, I require several skills such as innovation, diagnosis, understanding skills, knowledge, experience, confidence, training, teamwork, treatment, clinic revenue, happiness, overall contribution, value, continuous improvement, family relationships, social responsibility, reliability, ethics, good work-life balance, and nature to provide the best possible oral care. While maintaining my work-life balance, mutually understanding good relationships, exercise routine, peaceful sleep, food habits, outings, and holidays together, I am forever grateful. Good oral health is essential for overall health, including cardiovascular health, diabetes, and mental heal...

Can the dental pulp be regenerated? First author: Dr. Dhruv Subramanian Acknowledgement: Dr. Shagufta Parveen   The dental pulp is unmineralized oral tissue that has soft connective tissue, lymphatic, vascular, and nerve tissue in the root canal chamber, and root canals of teeth in the oral cavity. The dental pulp can be regenerated with stem cells after the mechanical preparation of the infected tooth that is the hypothesis. Dental caries and periodontal infections are two major causes of infection of the dental pulp which leads to root canal preparations with a crown in most cases or extraction of the tooth itself. A root canal treatment is done by first drilling the tooth or the infected dental caries with an airotor. Then, files like needles of different sizes are used to clean the root canals and the pulp chamber mechanically. After this, the canal is irrigated with hypochlorite, hydrogen peroxide, saline, and sometimes, chlorhexidine of low concentration. Laser steril...
