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.
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.
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.
Silver nanoparticles possess unique physicochemical and biological properties in addition to their antibacterial capabilities. Similarly, zinc oxide nanoparticles have demonstrated antibacterial effects against a wide range of bacteria, including heat and pressure resistant spores. Given these characteristics, it would be valuable to evaluate and compare a new irrigation solution containing nanosilver and nanozinc-oxide particles with sodium hypochlorite. Furthermore, Chitosan Nanoparticles are expected to exhibit enhanced antibacterial activity compared to regular-sized Chitosan due to their ability to penetrate and disrupt microbial cell membranes. Consequently, the current study aims to assess and compare the antibacterial activity of Silver Nanoparticles and Chitosan Nanoparticles, as well as their impact on post-operative pain.
The aim of this study is to evaluate in vivo the post operative pain after laser root canal treatment in necrotic teeth in an evidence-based clinical trial. The null hypothesis being tested is that there is no difference in post operative pain between conventional irrigation and the two types of lasers used. Thirty patients are equally divided into 3 separate groups : - Group A (Conventional): 2.5% NaOCL and 17% EDTA. - Group B(Dual): saline along with Er,Cr:YSGG laser and diode laser combination - Group C(Combined): saline along with 17% EDTA and diode laser combination Each patient is given pain scale chart Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) to record his/her pain level before any endodontic treatment. All data will be collected, tabulated, summarized, and statistically analyzed.
The goal of this observational is study is to develop a protocol for root canal biofilms disinfection using a clinically approved and commercially available iron oxide nanoparticle formulation Ferumoxytol/H2O2 treatments. This protocol will be testing local single topical application of Ferumoxytol within the root canal system in patients going through routine root canal treatment, evaluate its potential as anti-biofilm treatment and compare it to the clinical gold standard disinfecting solution sodium hypochlorite (positive control) and saline (negative control).
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the dental lasers as an alternative of chemical medicaments used in the pulpotomy procedures. The main question it aims to answer is: • Lasers pulpotomies are a viable alternative to the standard Formocresol and Sodium Hypochlorite medicaments. All participants groups (Formocresol, Sodium Hypochlorite, Diode and Er:Cr;YSGG lasers) for pulpotomy procedure will follow the same clinical protocol, except for the techniques that will be used for hemostasis of the pulpotomies which either will be achieved by Formocresol or Sodium Hypochlorite solutions or by Diode or Erbium lasers.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess post-operative pain of partial pulpotomy using a newly introduced Bioceramic material in young patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis at 24, 48, 72 hours postoperatively using visual analogue scale (VAS). The main question[s] it aims to answer are: • In patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis does the use of bioceramic material in partial pulpotomy decrease amount of post operative pain in comparison to conventional root canal treatment? Participants will record the intensity of pain at 24,48, 72 hours postoperatively.
Preserving primary teeth is essential for many aspects such as the child's growth and development, esthetic, functional, psychological, and dental arch integrity aspects. a randomized blinded controlled clinical trial aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success of Zinc Oxide-Ozonated Olive Oil as root canal filling materials for primary molars compared to Zinc Oxide-Olive Oil & Zinc Oxide-eugenol. 90 primary molars of 30 children aged between 4-8 years with pulpally involved primary molars, are equally divided into 3 groups which treated with Zinc Oxide-Ozonated Olive Oil , zinc oxide -olive oil and zinc oxide eugenol as obturation materials following pulpectomy procedure. The subjects were followed up clinically and radiographically at 3, 6 and 12 months.
The aim of this split mouth randomized controlled study was to compare formocresol pulpotomy and zinc-oxide and eugenol pulpectomy in the treatment of vital pulp exposure in primary incisor. 39 Contralateral pairs of incisors were randomly assigned to receive pulpotomy or pulpectomy in children aged from 18 to 66 months old. Clinical and radiographical evaluations were performed at 6 and 12 months
