Introduction Dental caries is a tooth decay, cavity or hole, which is the most common chronic disease among children and adolescents. Medline Plus Encyclopedia defines caries as the demineralisation of the hard tissue (enamel, dentin and cementum) and destruction of the organic matter of the tooth, usually by production of acid by hydrolysis of the food debris accumulated on the tooth surface by the bacteria. A correct diagnosis of the pulp conditions is important in treatment planning. The indications

Abstract: Aims: To compare and evaluate the bonding ability of resin composite (RC) to three different liners - Theracal LC (TLC) a novel resin modified calcium silicate cement, Biodentine (BD) and resin modified glass ionomer cement(RMGIC) using an universal silane containing adhesive and characterizing
effective material in the fight against caries. Silver has been used in health care as an anti-bacterial agent in many medical applications such as silver sutures and silver catheters. Silver diamine fluoride was created to conjoin the effectiveness of both. According to a critical review by Rosenblatt et al (2009), “…silver interacts with sulfhydryl groups of proteins and with DNA, altering hydrogen bonding and inhibiting respiratory processes, DNA unwinding, cell-wall synthesis, and cell division (Pg #
