The usual pulpal diagnostic instruments have been shown to be unreliable in diagnosing the status of teeth following a traumatic injury, especially for with immature root formation and open apex. Compounding problem these testing methods is that they all are very subjective, dependant on cooperation understanding situation by patient, which can lead further difficulty cases involving young children. It important note pulp vitality tests provide information only about presence or absence...

Introduction: One of the important factors contributing to success nonsurgical endodontic retreatment is efficient removal obturating material from root canal space. However, fracture resistance tooth likely be affected by this procedure. Therefore, study envisages assessing residual filling in canals and tooth’s postretreatment using different files. Materials Methods: Ninety extracted mandibular premolars with one a single were decoronated, followed chemo-mechanical preparation,...

Concerns about adverse reactions and the development of antibiotic resistance have prompted an alternative treatment strategy that utilizes traditional medicinal herbs.

Sixty samples taken for immediate (testing done after 24 h) and delayed 6 months) each. Further, they divided into three subgroups (n = 20) according disinfectant used: Group I: control (no disinfectant); II: chlorhexidine based; III: Aloe barbadensis miller (Aloe vera) based. Dentine bonding...

Cavity disinfectants help to remove the microbial remnants; hence, its use prior any restoration is valuable, and a search for alternative chlorhexidine (CHX) required which may be more efficacious can overcome drawbacks of CHX.The aim this study was evaluate effect application three different cavity in clinically relevant time period on immediate delayed shear bond strengths (SBSs) an etch-and-rinse adhesive system dentin.For SBS testing, flat coronal dentin surfaces were prepared two...

A comprehensive knowledge of the anatomy root canal is a basic prerequisite for success endodontic treatment. Mandibular molars may have an additional located lingually (radix entomolaris) or buccally paramolaris). An awareness potential and understanding unusual external internal mor-phology contributes to successful outcome Here, we report two cases radix entomolaris increase this morphology so that procedural errors during therapy might better be avoided.
