Variation in location of the distobuccal root canal in a permanent maxillary second molar: A case report.

Key Clinical Message: Clinicians should be aware of the variations in the number of roots and root canals and the peculiar or eccentric location of root canals. An intraoperative CBCT can be very useful in improved visualization of the anatomical variations.

Abstract: This case report describes the unusual location of the distobuccal root canal in a maxillary second molar with root fusion.

The influence of sodium hypochlorite concentration on the fibrin structure of human blood clots and transforming growth factor-beta 1 release: an study.

Objective: This study investigated the effects of various concentrations of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on human whole-blood clotting kinetics, the structure of the blood clots formed, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 release.

Materials And Methods: Human whole blood was collected from 5 healthy volunteers and divided into 4 groups: CG (control, 0.5 mL of blood), BN (0.

Retrievability of bioceramic-based sealers in comparison with epoxy resin-based sealer assessed using microcomputed tomography: A systematic review of laboratory-based studies.

Aim: The objective was to evaluate the retrievability of bioceramic sealers in comparison with epoxy resin-based sealers assessed using microcomputed tomography.

Materials And Methods: Four reviewers independently conducted a systematic literature search in four electronic databases. The risk of bias was assessed using modified Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tools for Quasi-Experimental Studies.

Root canal isthmi and interorifice distance in human permanent teeth of an Indian subpopulation using cone-beam computed tomography: A retrospective cross-sectional study.

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of root canal isthmus (RCI) and measure the interorifice distance (IOD) between the root canals. Additionally to correlate IOD with the RCI in human permanent teeth using conebeam computed tomography (CBCT) in an Indian sub-population (Chennai).

Materials And Methods: A total of 5881 teeth from 280 CBCT full mouth scans were analyzed.
