Patient's Knowledge and Perception of Endodontics Treatment: An Observational Study.

Objective: To assess public awareness regarding endodontic treatment and assess patients' knowledge regarding endodontic treatment.

Materials And Methods: A questionnaire was prepared and given to 300 patients who had visited the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics between November 2021 and October 2022, after obtaining ethical clearance and consent from all the participants. The questionnaire included sociodemographic details and about their knowledge about endodontic treatment.

Perception, Willingness, Barriers, and Hesitancy Towards COVID-19 Vaccine in Pakistan: Comparison Between Healthcare Workers and General Population.

Residual root dentin thickness for three different rotary systems: A comparative cone beam computed tomography study.

Background: Residual root dentin thickness (RDT) in endodontically treated teeth is a major factor that is responsible for longevity of treated tooth.

Aims And Objectives: To evaluate and compare the amount of RDT during endodontic treatment using manual K-files and rotary Mtwo, ProTaper Next, and Hero shaper instruments.

Settings And Design: Anin vitro study was carried out on a sample of 100 freshly extracted human single straight rooted mandibular first premolar teeth.

Evaluation of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate, Resin-modified Glass lonomer Cements, and Composite as a Coronal Barrier: An in vitro Microbiological Study.

Aim: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the bacterial micro-leakage of three different materials, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC), and flowable composite, as a coronal barrier against Enterococcus faecalis.

Materials And Methods: A total of 100 human extracted single-rooted teeth were selected. Access opening done, working length determined, and canals were cleaned and shaped with ProTaper F3 and obturated with AH26 and gutta-percha (GP) using lateral condensation technique.
