Article Synopsis
- Researchers compared the effectiveness of a 940 nm diode laser and a solution mix called MTAD in eliminating bacteria from root canals.
- Forty human lower premolar teeth were used, divided into four groups to test different treatments, including a control group using sodium hypochlorite.
- The results showed that the sodium hypochlorite group achieved the highest bacterial reduction (99.99%), followed closely by MTAD and the diode laser, with statistically significant differences noted among all treatment groups.
Objectives: This study evaluated the impact of different methods of irrigant agitation on smear layer removal in the apical third of curved mesial canals of 3 dimensionally (D) printed mandibular molars.
Materials And Methods: Sixty 3D-printed mandibular second molars were used, presenting a 70° curvature and a Vertucci type II configuration in the mesial root. A round cavity was cut 2 mm from the apex using a trephine of 2 mm in diameter, 60 bovine dentin disks were made, and a smear layer was formed.
The aim of this study was to describe the treatment of permanent teeth diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis, which can be effectively managed with partial or total pulpotomy. This alternative approach has shown great clinical and radiographic success in the long term compared to traditional pulpectomies. In this series of clinical cases, all the teeth exhibited symptoms of intense pain upon exposure to cold and at night.
