The aim of the following study is to compare evaluation different irrigation activation system-F-File, CanalBrush (CB) and EndoActivator (EA) in removing smear layer from root canal.Root canals eighty single rooted decoronated premolar teeth were instrumented using crown-down technique then equally divided into four groups on basis methods used: Without - control group, with F-File, CB, EA Group I, II, III respectively. Samples longitudinally sectioned examined under scanning electron...

Background: Aim of this trial was to evaluate the combined clinical and radiographic success rate endodontic treatment using passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) laser activated (LAI) as compared conventional syringe irrigation.Material Methods: Permanent incisors single rooted premolars were assessed for eligibility 69 patients randomly divided into three groups (n=23) by allocation concealment method performed in accordance with allocated group.Teeth evaluated clinically radiographically...

This study aimed for a comparative evaluation of the antimicrobial efficacy calcium hydroxide, chlorhexidine gel, and curcumin-based formulation against Enterococcus faecalis.Thirty single-rooted teeth were taken. Access preparation was done. Biomechanical done using Protaper universal file till F3. Teeth decoronated to standardized root length 14 mm, apical end from outside sealed paraffin wax. autoclaved under standard conditions after autoclaving, Phosphate-buffered saline solution...

Mucosal fenestration is a clinical condition in which the overlying gingiva denuded and root exposed to oral cavity. Invasive cervical resorption an entirely uncommon entity its aetiology poorly understood. This case presents invasive of maxillary right central incisor with at third tooth. The area was chemomechanically debrided. It then restored Mineral Trioxide Aggregate over pink glass ionomer cement (GC Fuji VII) placed. Lateral pedicle flap used cover fenestration. resorptive defect...

The use of membrane barriers and bone grafting materials in endodontic surgery promotes healing by regeneration rather than repair scar tissue. Due to its valuable regenerative therapeutic properties, the human amniotic can support ideal periapical rehabilitation promote better after surgery. current trial aimed evaluate membrane's potential compare it with platelet-rich fibrin using color doppler sonography. study is a randomized, double-blinded, parallel-group, single-center study....

ABSTRACT Objective: The purpose of this study was to quantify the amount calcium ions removed from root canal by etidronic acid (HEBP), BioPure MTAD, and SmearClear using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Materials Methods: Fifty (n = 50) freshly extracted human mandibular premolar teeth were collected decoronated at cementoenamel junction. canals prepared in a crown down fashion rotary system copiously irrigated with 1.0% sodium hypochlorite. All specimens rinsed deionized water. Based...

It is very important for dentists to be familiar with anomalies of teeth not only the clinical complications but also their management. Taurodontism provides a valuable clue in detecting its association various syndromes and other systemic conditions. The purpose this study was assess prevalence Taurodont molars among North Indian population.A total 1000 patients' full-mouth periapical radiographs were screened. evaluated under optimal conditions using double magnifying glasses. A 7615...

Aim: To assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices of patients regarding cross-infection in dental clinics view COVID-19, its economic implications. Materials Methods: The present study is a cross-sectional online survey done using Google Forms tool which was shared amongst 501 participants via e-mail various social media platforms. It consisted 42 structured questions sociodemographics (seven questions), knowledge COVID-19 preventive methods (five (nine attitudes toward infection...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial efficacy two doses vetiver and chamomile essential oils compared with chlorhexidine calcium hydroxide against Enterococcus faecalis.The growth inhibition minimum inhibitory concentration all tested materials were determined ex vivo following agar diffusion broth dilution assay procedure. Human maxillary anterior teeth prepared protaper rotary files, followed by incubation standard E. faecalis. A total 140 included in study. These...

This article suggests a simplified technique of orthograde MTA obturation in less accessible canal(s) posteriors teeth without using costly ultrasonics or specialised carrier. Essentially few finger pluggers, absorbent points and simple canal projection method were used. The orifice(s) the elected to be obturated with projected onto external occlusal surface for easy delivery predictive instrumentation. idea was based on 'easy access', 'working one mix at time', 'thorough condensation'...

Background: Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) has been used, while concentrated growth factor (CGF) recently evolved as a bioscaffold in regenerative endodontics. Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of PRF and CGF on proliferation, migration, differentiation human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). Materials Methods: were fabricated from voluntarily donated human blood, conditioned medium was prepared. HiPSCs isolated cultivated for 12 days. The proliferation rate analyzed using...

The aim of the study was to determine porosity, dissolution and apical extrusion AH Plus, MTA Fillapex EndoSequence BC sealer after immersion in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT). Forty-eight single-rooted teeth were selected.

Abstract Background: Radiotherapy to the head and neck region may cause considerable radiotherapy-induced changes in surrounding tissues. These are oral mucositis, hyposalivation, dental caries, osteoradionecrosis, trismus overall impact on patients’ quality of life. Tooth-coloured synthetic materials, unlike metallic restoration, did not influence radiation dose distribution. However, their exposure a gamma therapeutic during treatment might structural compositional that alter mechanical...
