Abstract Aim To determine the resistance of microorganisms associated with refractory endodontic infections to sodium hypochlorite used as a root canal irrigant. Methodology Two strains each Actinomyces naeslundii , Candida albicans and Enterococcus faecalis were tested late logarithmic phase inocula, against adjusted 0.5, 1.0, 2.5 5.25% w/v. Contact times 0, 10, 20, 30, 60 120 s. In case E. additional experiments contact 2.0, 5.0, 10.0 30.0 min. Anti‐microbial action was halted by...
Aim The aim of this study was to compare preclinical endodontic teaching in Europe, Scandinavia and North America, place recent UK data an international context. Methodology A postal questionnaire sent all undergraduate dental schools Scandinavia, Europe. Data were requested on a range issues relating teaching. Results Forty‐three percent the 170 surveyed returned completed questionnaires. There considerable consensus content courses, with most advocating preflaring canal preparation...
Summary Anecdotal evidence and scientific surveys suggest that the quality of root canal treatment within General Dental Services is often less than ideal. Six years ago, it was reported endodontic teaching in United Kingdom given a low priority time devoted to laboratory practice should be increased. In following year, European Endodontic Society (ESE) published guidelines for Endodontology made recommendations as what included undergraduate curriculum. Shortly afterwards, ESE treatment....
Abstract Aim To investigate the attitudes of general dental practitioners (GDPs) and endodontists in UK towards management fractured endodontic instruments. Methodology A questionnaire was sent to 330 systemically selected GDPs all working (170). It accompanied by a covering letter explaining aims study indicating that information given would remain confidential. Those who did not respond first mailing were another two mailings. Data analysed using chi‐square test at P ≤ 0.05. Results The...
Abstract Aims To assess whether pre‐soaking files in an enzymatic cleaner prior to ultrasonic cleaning had any effect on cleanliness and also the of time that endodontic spend bath sterilization their overall cleanliness. Methodology Twenty root canals a total ten patients were cleaned shaped using conventional techniques. Following use, some pre‐soaked then ultrasonically for either 5, 10, 30 or 60 min. Other no cleaned. There two control groups, one where not other neither nor All...
To investigate the attitudes and opinions of general dental practitioners (GDPs) endodontists in UK towards fracture endodontic instruments. It was hypothesized that there would be no significant difference between GDPs regarding their experience instruments.A pilot questionnaire carried out on 20 postgraduate students to ensure questions were easily understood. This followed by a further survey group (50) facilitate sample size calculation. The comprised 330 systematically selected GDPs,...
To investigate ex vivo root resistance to vertical fracture after fractured instruments were ultrasonically removed from different locations in the canal.Fifty-three canine roots weighed and divided into four groups. Eight served as a control group which canals instrumented size F5-ProTaper instrument. In experimental groups, fragments coronal, middle apical one-thirds, then ultrasonically. The time required for removal was recorded. Roots reweighed, shaped filled with GuttaFlow. After...
Abstract Aim To investigate the effect of MTA root canal fillings on resistance to vertical fracture ( VRF ) over different time intervals. Material and methods Freshly extracted anterior human teeth with single canals minimal curvatures were decoronated, instrumented size 50/.05 P ro T aper file, irrigated 1% N a OC l randomly allocated one three groups n = 36): (i) filled , (ii) gutta‐percha sealer (iii) unfilled roots used as negative control. Each group was subdivided into subgroups 12)...
