Periodontal response to a tricalcium silicate material or resin composite placed in close contact to the supracrestal tissue attachment: a histomorphometric comparative study

ABSTRACT Palatogingival grooves (PGG) are developmental malformations that cause endodontic–periodontal lesions. Owing to their inconspicuous occurrence, funnel-shaped morphology, and variable extent on tooth root, they promote adherence of plaque and bacteria to levels significant for the development of pathology. Several treatment approaches have been recognized in the literature for the management of this anomaly. Here, in this report, a 32-year-old female patient reported with the complaint of pain and swelling in maxillary left lateral incisor. Clinical examination confirmed an endodontic–periodontal lesion in relation to PGG. Endodontic treatment was instituted followed by odontoplasty of the groove and restoration with newer calcium silicate cement, Biodentine. Combined endodontic–periodontal approach was successful in resolving the pathology with complete healing seen both clinically and radiographically. Timely diagnosis, prevention, and management are highly recommended to prevent tooth loss due to complications arising secondary to their presence.

Shed Light

The proliferation of popular newspapers during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878 transformed the boundaries of public debate in Russia and brought the people into close contact with each other as well as with the outer world. Printing and the press had a parallel effect on the fin-de-siècle Ottoman public sphere. Newspapers of the Sublime Porte utilized defeats against Russia to juxtapose – if not depose – the Sultan’s cult as the sole symbol of unity with a nationalist one. “Wartime Propaganda and the Legacies of Defeat” is a comparative study of the two major newspapers – Golos and Basiret – during this period. I examine the major commonalities between these papers: such as perceived images of the enemy, the war’s aims and purposes, as well as the behavior of the troops portrayed by the war correspondents. My primary purpose is to shed light on the Turkish popular press, which weighed in on the issues of nationalism, defeat and political campaigning just as its Russian counterparts did. Ultimately, this article argues that the emergence of a critically debating public sphere in Russia and Turkey demonstrates how both empires experienced modernity in the sense that most Europeans understood it.
