Filter by:Achieving profound anesthesia during endodontic treatment of mandibular molars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis is still a demanding clinical challenge. therefore, the success Rate of 4 Injection protocols for Mandibular First Molars with Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis was evaluated clinically in a randomized triple-blind trial
Background: Root canal preparation techniques using manual instruments have found to be time-consuming and may lead to iatrogenic errors such as ledging, zipping, canal transportation, and apical blockage. To overcome this, much attention has been directed toward root canal preparation using nickel-titanium (NiTi)-rotary instruments. The flexibility and the instrument design of NiTi-rotary files allow it to closely follow the original root canal path. Aim: This in vitro study aims to compare the amount of dentin removal in primary molars instrumented with hand versus rotary files and the root canal transportation and risk of perforation using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Method: ( 20 ) extracted discarded mandibular second primary molars were selected to contribute in the study, having minimal apical resorption with presence of at least two-third remaining root structure with absence of visual perforating resorption. The teeth included in the study were stored in water or saline till the experimental time. The extracted primary molars were divided into two groups of the study: Group I was prepared with rotary instrumentation using ProTaper Next (Dentsply, Switzerland) and Group II was prepared by manual instrumentation using K type files. All the root canals (n=40) were prepared up to size 35 using the step-back technique. The teeth were subjected to CBCT scans for the evaluation of thickness of radicular dentin remaining, risk of perforation and canal transportation before and after instrumentation in the two groups at three different locations (2, 4 and 7 mm from the apex) . Dentin removal was calculated by superimposing images using the InVivo 5.1 software. Data were statistically analyzed using independent samples t test.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival rate and healing time of compromised teeth and seriously compromised teeth that were endodontically treated in patients which received bisphosphonate therapy . Clinical complications, success and survival rate was reported. Mean clinical parameters, clinical symptoms and presence of periapical radilucency were recorded.
This study evaluates postoperative pain and radiographic healing of asymptomatic posterior teeth with chronic apical periodontitis following root-canal treatment performed using different methods of irrigation activation.
This study was conducted to determine the antibacterial affect of three different solutions used as final irrigant during endodontic therapy. The investigator's objective was to compare the antibacterial affect of relatively new final irrigant QMix with EDTA and Qmix with EDTA+CHX by evaluating the bacteriological status of the root canal before and after use of the final irrigant.
The color change of endodontically treated teeth is a common concern in clinical practice. The objective of this study will be to evaluate, in vivo, the color change (ΔE00) caused by endodontic treatment. A observational retrospective study will be conducted to evaluate the ΔE00 of anterior (incisors and canines) and posterior (premolar) teeth treated at a private clinic, regardless of technique, treatment time and sealer used. In this study the ΔE00 will be evaluated using the measurements obtained in the homologous tooth (without endodontic treatment) versus the measurement obtained from the tooth treated endodontically. The values of ΔE00 obtained for each sealer, cut and time will be analyzed by multifactorial analysis to verify associations of the outcomes with the ΔE00.
No clinical evidence has been yet published regarding the comparison of postoperative pain after removal of the root canal fillings with or without solvent. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of combined usage of ProTaper retreatment instruments and a gutta-percha solvent, on the postoperative pain intensity after retreatment.
Nonsurgical root canal retreatment may become essential when the initial endodontic treatment fails because of the persistent intracanal or extracanal infections.It has been stated that the one of the main cause of posttreatment disease is the persistent or reintroduced microorganism such as enterococcus faecalis. Supplementary disinfection techniques such as irrigation agitation methods can help elimination of bacteria from root canal systems. The aim of this in vivo study was to compare the effect of passive ultrasonic irrigation, manual dynamic activation and photodynamic therapy in reducing bacterial load in endodontic retreatment cases with periradicular lesion by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)in a single visit root canal treatment.
Till date, no study has systematically evaluated the role of a single variable on success of endodontic retreatment. While the evaluation of a single factor as the primary objective in a study is a difficult task, it unarguably provides more valuable information regarding the influence of that variable on outcome. The clinical studies comparing the use of Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and Chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) in retreatment cases have evaluated only the antibacterial effectiveness and there is no clinical study comparing their effect on the clinical outcome in retreatment cases. And also, no study has compared the use of irrigant as single variable in the primary objective on success of retreatment cases. The conclusions drawn from such "surrogate measures" must be interpreted and applied in clinical settings with caution. Since there is no standardised irrigation treatment protocol for secondary root canal treatment, the present study is being conducted to evaluate the effect of 5% NaOCl with 17% Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and 2% CHX with 10% citric acid (CA) on outcome, when used as irrigants during the chemomechanical preparation in retreatment cases.
Aim To evaluate in vivo the shaping ability of the canal with 3 different single-file systems: Reciproc Blue, WaveOne Gold and XP Endo-Shaper, using cone beam computed tomography and 3D reconstructions to measure canal volume increase, centering ability of the instruments and canal transportation in human premolars in vivo. Methodology Thirty human lower premolars were randomly divided into three groups, in which root canals were prepared using one of these single-file systems: Reciproc Blue, WaveOne Gold, and XP EndoShaper. Root canals were scanned before and after root canal preparation by using CBCT and 3D reconstruction was carried out to evaluate canal volume increase, centering ability of the instrument and canal transportation for each group. Statistical analysis was made for each variable to determine statistically significant differences between groups.
