Summary Long‐term sealing ability of root‐canal sealer is clinical importance. We compared the performance five sealers and a dentine bonding agent, at thicknesses 0.05 mm (thin layer) 0.3 (thick layer), in 212 standard human root specimens, before after storage water for 2 years. Thick layers Roth Pulp Canal Sealer EWT (PCS–EWT) allowed more leakage than did thin (P = 0.0000, 0.0358 PCS–EWT, respectively) whereas no significant difference was found between thick AH26, Ketac‐Endo, Sealapex...
Abstract Aim To investigate the prevalence of root filled teeth and apical periodontitis (AP) in a Greek population. Methodology A random sample 320 patients who required full mouth periapical radiographic examination as part diagnostic planning procedures were included. The age ranged from 16 to 77 years. total 7664 assessed frequency status was recorded. Two observers evaluated radiographs under standardized conditions. AP defined distinct radiolucency or widening periodontal ligament...
Tooth loss or absence is a common condition that can be caused by various pathological circumstances. The replacement of the missing tooth important for medical and aesthetic reasons. Recently, scientists focus on tissue engineering, as potential treatment, beyond existing prosthetic methods. engineering promising new therapeutic approach seeks to replace with bioengineered one restore damaged dental tissue. Its main tool stem cells are seeded surface biomaterials (scaffolds), in order...
Aim of the present study was to evaluate retreatability and reestablishment apical patency two calcium silicate-based sealers, TotalFill BC Sealer (BCS) mineral trioxide aggregate Fillapex (MTA F), versus AH Plus, when used in combination with Gutta-percha (GP).The canals 54 single-rooted anterior teeth were instrumented filled GP/AH Plus (Group A), GP/MTA F B), or GP/BCS C) using continuous wave obturation technique. The groups subdivided into subgroups master-GP cone placed working length...
The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro a possible mechanism involved the antimicrobial action calcium hydroxide, namely absorption carbon dioxide from root canal. Twenty obligate and 20 facultative anaerobic bacteria isolated infected canals identified species level were used. For each bacterial standard concentration achieved 0.1 ml inoculum spread on blood agar plates, which consecutively incubated an chamber for 5-7 days. One experimental one control group studied: included plate...
Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate and compare cytotoxic effects Biodentine MTA on dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) assess cell viability adherence after material exposure an acidic environment. Material Methods: DPSCs were cultured either alone or in contact with either: Biodentine; set for 1 hour; 24 hours. After 4 7 days, measured using MTT assay. also prepared packed into standardized bovine dentin disks divided three groups according storage media (n=6/group): freshly...
Abstract Low apical leakage along root fillings following an application of calcium hydroxide was reported in a few methylene blue dye penetration studies. It has been found recently that is decolored by hydroxide, indicating the short may not be due to tight seal only. Of 80 roots human maxillary central incisors used this study, 40 (group 1) received canal dressing whereas another 2) did not. All were then obturated with gutta‐percha and Tubli‐Seal sealer. Leakage 20 filled each group...
Abstract The effectiveness of calcium hydroxide and paramonochlorophenol (PMCP) was tested on anaerobic bacteria isolated from infected root canals, at time intervals 5, 15, 30 60 min. experimental method used similar to that proposed by the German Society Hygiene Microbiology (DGHM), with slight modifications. Testing revealed significantly more effective than PMCP against total number anaerobes. Additionaly, it proved be quickly highly some microorganisms related severe clinical symptoms,...
To determine the incidence of asymptomatic pulp necrosis following crown preparation as well positive predictive value electric testing.A total 120 teeth with healthy pulps scheduled to receive fixed crowns (experimental teeth) were included. Teeth divided into two groups according preoperative condition (intact and caries, restorations or crowns) four tooth type (maxillary anterior teeth, maxillary posterior mandibular teeth). Experimental control submitted testing on three different...
Summary This study was designed to evaluate the antimicrobial effectiveness of 25% citric acid, compared with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite, after time intervals 5, 15, 30 and 60 min. Anaerobic bacterial species were isolated from infected root canals categorized according Gram stain as Gram‐positive cocci, Gram‐negative rods rods. The experimental method used similar that proposed by German society for Hygiene Microbiology (DGHM) slight modifications. Testing revealed acid does demonstrate anti...
