Introduction: This study evaluated 4 different light-emitting diode (LED) transilluminators and the impact of operator experience in the detection of dentinal defects through an ex vivo TRUEJAW surgical model (Dental Engineering Laboratories, Santa Barbara, CA).
Methods: Forty-four extracted and endodontically treated mandibular premolar teeth were evaluated. Teeth were mounted in the models followed by surgical flaps and osteotomies to expose the apical third of the roots.
Introduction: This microsurgical clinical study evaluated if teeth that have undergone endodontic retreatment are associated with more dentinal defects than primary root canal-treated teeth.
Methods: One hundred fifty-five patients who underwent periapical microsurgery treatment in a private practice setting were evaluated. The root ends were resected, and the roots were inspected for the presence of dentinal defects through the surgical operating microscope with the help of a 0.
Objectives: A scoring method for tooth erosion is needed to enable community-based assessments. The aim of this study was to evaluate the Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE) scoring method, using data previously collected from two studies.
Materials And Methods: In a national survey of erosion in children and adolescents, a representative, 20 % nationwide sample of 2,251 children, aged 6, 12 and 15 years, was examined.
