Filter by:Aim: Evaluation of the effect of different obturation techniques on postoperative pain level and radiographic healing on non-surgical endodontic retreatment (NSER) applied in a single visit in teeth with single root canal and apical periodontitis (AP). Materials and Methods: 63 teeth with single-root canal and AP from 50 systemically healthy patients (mean age 34.19±9.75 years; 27 women, 23 men) were included in the study. Residual root canal filling materials were removed with retreatment files. All teeth were prepared using rotary files . The teeth were randomly divided into three groups according to the obturation technique; cold lateral compaction (CLC), continuous wave compaction (CWC), and gutta-core (TGC). Restorations are completed using direct composite resin in the same visit. In all cases, pain status were evaluated using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NRS) at preoperative, postoperative, 3rd hour, 24th hour, 48th hour, and 7th day. Periapical index (PAI) scores were recorded on preoperative and postoperative 6-month on the periapical radiographs for cases. Data were analyzed as statistically. Significance level was determined as p < 0.05.
Rehabilitation of anterior endodontically treated teeth with significant coronal damage has been problematic. Adopting endocrown design to treat teeth with this condition is still under investigation. To address this issue, the USPHS criteria were adopted to assess the anterior endocrown restorations manufactured using various ceramic materials and cemented with different protocols.
This randomized controlled trial is to clinically assess and compare impression quality of polyvinylsiloxane impression material using one step (experimental) and two step (control) impression techniques and its effect on marginal fit of prosthesis and proximal contact of prosthesis.
The purpose of the study is to use Allium sativum oil and Turmeric gel as non-vital Pulpotomy medicaments in primary teeth by evaluating their antibacterial effect against Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus. It is hypothesized that there is no difference in the antibacterial effect of Allium sativum oil and Turmeric gel when used as non-vital Pulpotomy medicaments.
The purpose of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to use Allium sativum oil as non-vital Pulpotomy medicament compared to Formocresol in primary teeth by evaluating its antibacterial effect against Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus. It is hypothesized that there is no difference in the antibacterial effect of Allium sativum oil compared with Formocresol, when used as non-vital Pulpotomy medicaments.
The purpose of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to use Turmeric gel as non-vital Pulpotomy medicament compared to Formocresol in primary teeth by evaluating its antibacterial effect against Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus acidophilus. It is hypothesized that there is no difference in the antibacterial effect of Turmeric gel compared with Formocresol, when used as non-vital Pulpotomy medicaments.
This clinical trial will be conducted to evaluate the amount of Il-8 expression before and after the application of intracanal irradiation with diode laser 980 nm versus placebo in failed endodontic cases with periapical lesions.
The aim of this clinical study was to compare the radiographic outcome of a root canal treatment with or without use of MTAD after 24 months recall. This in vivo study was a prospective, single-center; single blinded, parallel, and randomized clinical trial. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Cukurova University Faculty of Medicine. One hundred patients with a noncontributory medical history presented to the Department of Endodontics of the University of Cukurova Faculty of Dentistry between October 2019 and February 2020 were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. All selected teeth were single-rooted, maxillary and mandibular incisors, canines or premolars that were asymptomatic (no preoperative pain, swelling or acute endodontic or periodontal abscess). All pulps were nonvital and did not respond to cold testing. All patients were aged between 18 and 65 years, had no systemic diseases or allergies tolocal anaesthetic agents, had not previously received any endodontic treatment and had no radiographic evidence of periapical bone loss. Pregnant and breast-feeding women and patients taking analgesic, anti-inflammatory or antibiotic medications during the 7 days prior to the beginning of treatment were also excluded. All patients were informed that they were to be included in a clinical trial and their consent was obtained.The initial periapical radiographs of the patients were taken with the digital imaging system Digora Optime (Soredex, Tuusula, Finland) by long-cone paralleling technique with a film holder (Endo Rh plus; Indusbello, Londrina, PR, Brazil), the vitality of the pulp was evaluated by an electronic vitalometer (Analytic Technology Corp., Redmond, WA, USA) and confirmed by the absence of bleeding from the endodontic access cavity. For both maxillary and mandibular teeth, local infil-tration anaesthesia was achieved using 2 mL articaine hydrochloride with 1:200 000 adrenaline (Maxicaine; VEM Ilac, Istanbul, Turkey). Endodontic access preparations were performed using diamond round burs. After the canals were visible, patency was checked with a K-file (VDW GmbH, Munich, Germany), and a dental dam was placed to isolate the tooth. The working length (WL) was determined with an electronic apex locator (Raypex 6,VDW) and accepted when all 3 green bars were reached. In addition, the canal length was confirmed by a periapical radiograph, and the apex locator was accepted as correct in situations where the two did not match. Root canal instrumentation was performed using the Reciproc Blue (VDW, Munich) #50/0.5 file. During instrumentation of the root canals, irrigation was applied with 10 mL 2.5% NaOCl using side-vented needles (NaviTips, 30 gauge; Ultradent, South Jordan, UT, USA). The final irrigation in Control group was applied with 5 ml of 17% EDTA solution and 5 ml of distilled water. In the MTAD group, final irrigation was done with 5 mL of MTAD and 5 mL of distilled water. Side-vented needles were placed 1 mm shorter than the working length, and 5 ml of solution was given in 2 minutes. The root canals were dried with sterile paper points and were filled with cold lateral condensation technique using AH Plus root canal sealer (Dentsply Maillefer, Cologne, Germany) and gutta percha (President Dental, Duisburg, Germany). Then the cavity entry was restored with composite (Solarex, GC Corparation, Tokyo, Japan) and radiography was taken. Patients were invited to follow-up sessions at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months and were radiographically and clinically assessed. Many patients missed their follow-up appointments due to the covid 19 pandemic. The follow-up radiographs performed by long-cone paralleling technique with a film holder. The pre-treatment and 24-month follow-up radiographs of teeth, were prepared as a Power Point presentation (Microsoft ® Corporation, Redmond, WA) and the change in periapical radiolucency was assessed according to PAI scores of five categories; 1. Normal apical periodontium 2. Small changes in bone structures 3. Change in bone structure with mineral loss 4. Periodontitis with well-defined radiolucent area 5. Severe periodontitis with exacerbating features. Teeth with a PAI≤ 2 score and clinically asymptomatic were considered 'healthy' in the radiographic evaluation, while teeth with a PAI≥ 3 and/or clinically symptomatic were considered 'failure'.
Postoperative pain in endodontic retreatment cases presents a challenge to any endodontist. Tricalcium silicate materials as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and bioceramics have shown favorable periapical tissue reactions and healing when used as part of the root canal filling material. This study was conducted to compare the difference in the postoperative pain when resin cements are used versus bioceramic cements in the obturation of root canals.
The present clinical trial will be conducted to reject or accept the null hypothesis that in endodontically treated posterior teeth with deeply located proximal margins, will the Deep Margin Elevation will have better results from surgical crown lengthening in terms of biological criteria?
