Filter by:The aim of this study is to compare treatment outcomes of pulpotomy in mature permanent teeth using Biodentine versus MTA regarding postoperative pain and success rate.
Based on the changing understanding of carious biofilm development and caries progression, Sealing carious dentine beneath a restoration deprives the caries biofilm of nutrients and alters the environment sufficiently to slow or arrest lesion progression. This has the added benefit of avoiding pulp exposure and subsequent treatment .The evidence base supporting the biological approaches which include Hall technique has been steadily increasing in the last few years. This has given rise to a growing trend towards a biological approach by Paediatric dentists and has led to an increasing concern about the merits of conventional approach in treatment of carious primary molars .
Total amputation therapy; is a treatment method aimed at maintaining the vitality of the radicular pulp remaining as a result of complete removal of coronal pulp tissue. In cases where pulp is exposed due to caries or trauma, the pulp is vital, bleeding can be controlled during the procedure, no periapical pathology is seen and radicular pulp is healthy. Traditionally, acute pulp pain is thought to be a symptom of irreversible pulpitis, and it is thought that there is little chance of the pulp returning to its normal situation after removal of the irritants. Root canal treatment has been accepted as the gold standard for the treatment of these symptoms. In recent studies, spontaneous or severe pain before procedure has not always indicated that pulp has no repair capacity, and deep carious lesions are not necessarily associated with irreversible pulpal pathology. Histological studies showed that even when caries reach the pulp or degeneration and inflammation were seen in it, there was a healthy section still present in the pulp. Therefore, it is stated that the healthy pulp remaining as a result of total amputation performed by removal of degenerated pulp can be preserved. Furthermore, it is stated that for the healing potential of the remaining pulp tissue, the original signal should be that the bleeding can be controlled after the amputation of the infected pulp tissue. While the most popular method in the treatment of vital pulp is CaOH, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry has been reported to be more resistant to dissolution in the protocol in recent years. MTA is a more suitable material because it is more homogeneous, and forms a thicker dentin bridge. However, the MTA requires a long time to harden, it is difficult to manipulate and color. In recent years, researchers have focused on creating new MTA formulations to improve their physicochemical properties without affecting their biocompatibility and bioactivity. NeoMTA Plus is a new fine powder tricalcium silicate. It consists of a water-based gel and powder mixture and the powder-gel mixing ratio may vary depending on the area of use. It is a material similar to MTA Plus. However, in order to avoid tooth discoloration, tantalium oxide used instead of the bismuth oxide and required calcium hydroxide used to induce the formation of mineralized tissue.
Introduction: Local anesthetic failure is an unavoidable aspect of dental practice. A number of factors contribute to this, which may be related to either the patient or the operator. Patient-dependent factors may be anatomical, pathological or psychological1-3. Work is still going on by dental clinicians and researchers in order to find an optimal local anesthetic agent which it has a high potency and rapid onset of action.4-6. However, pain free injection also play a role in improving the patient perceptions toward the dentist and dental treatments and encouraging patients to attend a regular checkup5-8. Failure of the local anaesthetic injections using Inferior Alveolar Nerve Block (IANB) for lower teeth in asymptomatic and symptomatic patients requires additional buck-up strategies to achieve pain free dental treatment. Otherwise, the patient complains of severe pain and hindering the clinician to proceed to the dental treatment. Mechanism of action for intraseptal injection The route of diffusion and distribution of the anaesthetic solution in the intraseptal technique is most likely through the medullary bone (Fig. 1). It offers anaesthesia to the bone, delicate/soft tissues, root structure in the region of infusion. It is best when both pain control and haemostasis are wanted for delicate /soft tissue and bony periodontal treatment. Figure 1: Represents the point of needle insertion for the Intraseptal Injection and the position of the needle 3mm apical to the apex of the papillary triangle5. Advantages of intraseptal injection In contrast to IANB and local infiltration, the intraseptal technique prevents the anaesthesia of tissues such as lips and tongue hence, decreases the chances of cheek or lip biting (self-trauma). It necessitates minimum or least dosage of local anaesthetic and minimizes bleeding during the surgical procedure. This technique being less traumatic, has immediate or instantaneous (<30-sec) onset of action and comparatively less number of postsurgical complications14. Intravascular injection is extremely unlikely to occur15compared to IANB or infiltration. Assertions that intraseptal anaesthesia is immediate are properly consistent with previous clinical results. Their findings reported that the onset of action for anaesthesia was within one minute after injection. So the onset time can be considered rapid if not immediate. Disadvantages of intraseptal Injection Clinical experience and multiple tissue punctures may be necessary to perform this technique. During the anaesthetic procedure, the anaesthetic solution may leak in to the oral cavity resulting discomfort and an unpleasant or bitter taste. The effective period anaesthesia for pulpal and soft-tissues is very limited20 hence multiple repeats may be required for longer surgical procedures. The aim of this prospective clinical study is to determine the anesthetic efficacy of the supplemental intraseptal technique in mandibular teeth diagnosed with extraction when the conventional inferior alveolar
Matrix metallopeptidase-9 (MMP-9) expression was compared in healthy and inflamed pulp and the outcome of coronal pulpotomy in teeth with symptomatic pulpitis was assessed. After procedure blood samples were examined using Elisa kit.
The irreversible acute pulpitis is the most common emergency at the hospital during dental consultation. Pulpitis are characterized by intense and spontaneous oro-facial pains. In case of mandibular molar, the emergency treatment consists in realizing a pulpotomy (eviction of cameral pulp) under locoregional anesthesia called inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB). The latter represents a real challenge, since inflammation may decrease its action. To mitigate this deficiency and the drawbacks of the IANB (onset and duration of the anesthesia, bites risk reported with IANB) other anesthesias are proposed. In particular the computerized intraosseous technique anesthesia of which the Quicksleeper™ system is a part. However, according to the observers, a mild to severe tachycardia have been reported. Very few valid clinical trials exists on the subject, most being realized with systems of intraosseous anesthesia other than Quicksleeper™. Therefore, the aim of this study is first to analyze the variations of the cardiovascular parameters into two groups of anesthesia: locoregional anesthesia and Quicksleeper ™ system; and then, to compare the efficiency, side effects, operating consequences of both techniques. This study should provide better data about potential risk with computerized intraosseous technique such has Quicksleeper ™ system in healthy or cardiovascular risk patient.
Inferior alveolar nerve block using either 0.5% bupivacaine alone or in addittion to mannitol in patients with irreversible pulpitis in mandibular molars.
the study is conducted to assess and compare the efficacy of local intraligamentary injection of glucocorticoids(dexamethasone) and NSAID(piroxicam) on reduction of postoperative pain in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.
Management of deep carious lesions in permanent mature molars with reversible pulpitis represents a challenge for clinicians. Vital pulp therapy includes indirect and direct pulp capping, partial pulpotomy and full pulpotomy. Indirect pulp capping is a procedure in which a material is placed on a thin layer of remaining soft dentin that, if removed, might expose the pulp. The objective is dentin bridge formation and pulp vitality preservation. The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the success rate of indirect pulp capping with Biodentine and TheraCal LC in mature permanent molars with deep carious lesions at one-year follow-up examination. The null hypothesis tested will be that there is no statistically significant difference in success rate between both materials in indirect pulp capping of permanent mature molars with deep carious lesions.
The aim of this prospective randomized clinical trial was compare between 2% Mepivacaine and 4% Articaine for inferior alveolar nerve blocks in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis in mandibular molars as regards to their anesthetic efficiency; during access cavity preparation and instrumentation.
