Evaluation of Push-out Bond Strength of a Resin Sealer to Dentin after a Final Flush of Three Irrigants.

Aim: To evaluate the push-out bond strength of resin-based sealer to root dentin after a final flush of three different irrigants.

Materials And Methods: Thirty extracted human mandibular premolars were sectioned 4 mm below the cement-enamel junction and 60 horizontal disks of 2 mm from middle one-third of the root were prepared. The disks were immersed in 3% sodium hypochlorite for 1 minute, and after drying the disks, they were finally flushed with the following irrigants: group I-Chitosan solution, group II- juice (MCJ), and group III-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA).

Comparison of cleaning effectiveness of single rotary file OneShape and reciprocating F2 Protaper with Protaper Universal sequence: A SEM analysis.

Aim: This in vitro study intend to compare the cleaning effectiveness of Protaper universal sequence with reciprocating F2 Protaper and single rotary file One shape.

Materials And Method: 30 extracted human 1st mandibular molars were chosen for the analysis. Three NiTi file systems were used for mechanical preparation, ProTaper full sequence in rotary motion, single F2 Protaper file used in reciprocating motion, and One shape single file used in a circular motion.

Anesthetic efficacy of anterior middle superior alveolar injection in single-visit endodontic therapy: an in vivo study.

Objectives: To evaluate and compare the anesthetic efficacy of anterior middle superior alveolar (AMSA) injection in single-visit endodontic therapy, an in vivo study.

Materials And Methods: Teeth in the maxillary anterior segment (N = 60) requiring single-visit endodontic (SVE) therapy were selected. A conventional syringe with 26-guage needle containing 1.

"Evaluation of shear bond strength of a composite resin to white mineral trioxide aggregate with three different bonding systems"-An in vitro analysis.

Background: Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is a biomaterial that has been investigated for endodontic applications. With the increased use of MTA in pulp capping, pulpotomy, perforation repair, apexification and obturation, the material that would be placed over MTA as a final restoration is an important matter. As composite resins are one of the most widely used final restorative materials, this study was conducted to evaluate the shear bond strength of a composite resin to white mineral trioxide aggregate (WMTA) using three different bonding systems namely the two-step etch and rinse adhesive, the self-etching primer and the All-in-one system.

Comparison of third generation versus fourth generation electronic apex locators in detecting apical constriction: An in vivo study.

Aim: The aim of this in vivo study was to compare the accuracy of Root ZX and Raypex 5 in detecting minor diameter in human permanent single-rooted teeth.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-one patients with completely formed single-rooted permanent teeth indicated for extraction were selected for the study. Crown was flattened for stable reference point and access cavity prepared.

Interdisciplinary management of an isolated intrabony defect.

The treatment of intrabony defects is a real challenge in molar teeth as it is chronic, slowly progressing disease which needs timely intervention. Periodontal inflammation associated with intrabony defect is not a separate entity as it secondarily affects the pulp causing retrograde pulpitis. However, treatment of these lesions will be complicated due to extensive bone loss.

Root canal treatment of a mandibular second premolar with three roots and canals - an anatomic variation.

Dental anatomical variations play a significant role in the diagnosis and a successful treatment outcome in endodontics. It is essential for the clinician to have a clear picture and understanding of the pulpal anatomy and its variations. In a mandibular second premolar, it is rare to find extra roots and canals.

Evaluation of antimicrobial efficacy of calcium hydroxide paste, chlorhexidine gel, and a combination of both as intracanal medicament: An in vivo comparative study.

Aim: To compare the antimicrobial efficacy of calcium hydroxide (CH), 2% chlorhexidine gel (CHX) and a combination of both, on obligate anaerobes, facultative anaerobes and Candida spp .

Management of intrusive luxation of maxillary incisors with dens in dente: a case report.

Intrusive luxation is one of the most severe types of dental traumatic injuries. The risk of occurrence of pulpal necrosis and inflammatory or replacement resorption is high. In an attempt to prevent or delay the appearance of such lesions, endodontic intervention is required soon after the occurrence of trauma.
