Filter by:One of the main goals of pediatric dentistry is to preserve the functions and structures of primary teeth until the time of exfoliation. Especially carious lesions are the main factor in the early loss of primary teeth. Today, primary teeth can be kept in the mouth by applying different treatments depending on the degree of inflammation caused by carious lesions in the pulp tissue.Coronal pulpotomy application in asymptomatic primary teeth with deep carious lesions near the pulp is one of the most common methods to achieve the goal of retaining the tooth in place. The purpose of the pulpotomy technique is to remove the affected pulp tissue and maintain the normal function of the unaffected root pulp tissue until the tooth is naturally ready to exfoliate. Studies have shown that the degree of pulp inflammation and the materials used are effective in the success of this treatment. In studies evaluating pulpal inflammation, many biomarkers have been shown to play significant roles at different levels of inflammation. Recently, Presepsin has been studied as a biomarker for detecting bacterial infections. However, there is no study in the literature on the use of Presepsin as a biomarker in endodontic treatments. In our study, it is thought that Presepsin biomarker could be detected in cases of acute or chronic infection in pulp tissue and could be considered as one of the mediators of pulpal inflammation. Based on this, the aim of our study is to investigate whether the materials used in covering the pulp or the level of inflammation in the remaining pulp tissue is more important for the success of pulpotomy treatment. The inflammation level in the remaining pulp tissue will be measured using IL-6, IL-8, and Presepsin. Then, the one-year success of treatment in different groups where pulp tissue is randomly covered with MTA, NeoMTA, Biodentine, and Zinc oxide eugenol will be demonstrated. Thus, it will be evaluated whether materials previously found to be quite successful in other studies achieve success in pulps with high inflammation levels.
In this study researchers plan to conduct, three different irrigation solutions that are responsible for the release of growth factors necessary for the success of regenerative endodontic treatments will be used. These solutions; Ethylene Diamine Tetra Acetic Acid (EDTA), Etidronic Acid and Citric Acid. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of different irrigation solutions used in regenerative endodontic treatment of necrotic open apex molar teeth on postoperative pain. Additionally, the healing of these teeth will be monitored for 1 year.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the outcomes of different medications used for pulpotomies (baby root canal) in children. The main question it aims to answer is: • what are the long-term clinical and radiographic success of pulpotomies in baby teeth using two different medications (NeoMTA and NeoPUTTY) over a 24-month follow-up period? Healthy children aged between 3 and 10 years undergoing dental treatment under general anesthesia who have deep caries lesions approximating or reaching the nerve will be invited to participate in this study. Pulpotomies (baby root canal) will be performed by trained dentists following a protocol. Children will receive pulpotomies either with NeoMTA or NeoPUTTY, two medications indicated for the procedure. Participants will be asked to come for an appointment at 1, 6, 12 and 24 months after the procedure. Researcher will compare the clinical and radiographic performance of pulpotomies (baby root canal) done with both medications.
Introduction: The aim of this study comparing the post operative pain after the retreatment of asymptomatic and symptomatic teeth that during single visit treatment with rotary and reciprocal nickel titanium files. Methods: One hundred and forty one patients scheduled for non-surgical endodontic retreatment were included for evaluation. Eighty five patients who needed endodontic retreatment were assingned to 2 groups according to semptomatic or asemptomatic teeth and 4 subgroups with rotary and resiprocal files. Endodontic filling material was removed with One Flare and MicroMega REMOVER files in the retreatment kit. Patients then recorded their postoperative pain on a VAS scale at 24h, 48h, 72h, 7 days and 14 days post-treatment. Results were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, Dunn-Bonferroni and Pearson Chi-square tests.
Problem statement: The post-operative pain after endodontic treatment. aim of study: The study is aiming to compare postoperative pain after submucosal cold saline injection (submucosal cryotherapy) (SMC) versus intra-canal cryotherapy (ICC) in mandibular single rooted premolars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis with symptomatic apical periodontitis (SAP). The material and methods: Subjects and methods: sixty patients will be randomly divided into three groups: the SMC group, the ICC group, and the control group. The patients' postoperative pain will be recorded at 12, 24, and 48 hours postoperatively by questioning them. Quantification of substance P will be done using an ELISA test from peri-radicular fluid swab.
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a significant occupational health problem for dentists and have been linked to a decline in quality of life, often leading to stress-related illnesses and early retirement. Poor posture, poor movement or imbalances in the neck or shoulders can lead to the three most common pain syndromes in dentistry. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the working position adopted during an endodontic procedure and to determine the perception of symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders in first and second year students of the Master in Advanced Endodontics at the European University of Madrid (UEM), using the standardised Nordic Kuorinka questionnaire supplemented by a form with socio-demographic variables. This study has a descriptive cross-sectional observational design and included 10 students selected by convenience sampling. A video camera was used to record the procedures from three different angles for a maximum of 5 minutes. The information was processed using Microsoft Excel spreadsheet software, and the video recordings were assessed using Rodgers' Muscular Fatigue Analysis (RMFA) and Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA).
Introduction: To evaluate the survival and success rate of premolars with a previous root canal treatment which underwent to non-surgical retreatment or to extraction and implant replacement. Materials and methods: Patients visiting in the Clinical Endodontic Section of the School of Dentistry (University of Bologna) were eligible for the study. Out of these patients, those with previously root canal treated premolars fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Teeth were considered retreatable and restorable (Endo group) or not retreatable and not restorable (Implant group) on the basis of clinical and radiographical examination. Each patient was included in an annual recall programme and final evaluation was performed after 8 years. Clinical parameters were recorded. Differences in baseline characteristics between the two treatment groups were assessed using logistic regression analysis with clustered standard errors. Results were expressed for each variable as odds ratios (ORs) of implant rehabilitation to root canal retreatment with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Survival and treatment success for the two study groups were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The association of treatment group with time to event was assessed using Cox proportional hazard regression analysis with clustered standard errors to allow for intragroup correlation within teeth belonging to the same patient. Results were expressed as hazard ratios (HRs) of experiencing the study event among implants as compared to root canal retreatments with 95% CIs.
the goal of this clinical trial is to compare clinical and radiographic outcomes of partial pulpotomy in vital primary molars using TheraCal PT®, Biodentin® and NeoPUTTY® MTA , followed by glass ionomer restoration only or glass ionomer restoration and stainless-steel crown.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the capability of the material to exert bacterial reduction of diclofenac sodium versus of that calcium hydroxide paste when these materials are used as intracanal medications in permanent molar teeth with chronic apical periodontitis. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • Will the diclofenac sodium (NSAIDs) possess antimicrobial efficacy to be used effectively as an intracanal medicament similar to that of calcium hydroxide in primary endodontic treatment? Participants will be allocated randomly into three equal groups by using computer generated randomization, according to the type of intracanal medication.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the anti-bacterial potential of Nano Calcium Hydroxide as an intracanal medication in primary endodontic treatment of permanent molars.
