Postendodontic Pain after Pulpotomy or Root Canal Treatment in Mature Teeth with Carious Pulp Exposure: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial.

This equivalence, randomized, clinical trial aimed to compare the postoperative pain of root canal therapy (RCT) with pulpotomy with mineral trioxide aggregate (PMTA) or calcium-enriched mixture (PCEM) in permanent mature teeth. In seven academic centers, 550 cariously exposed pulps were included and randomly allocated into PMTA ( = 188), PCEM ( = 194), or RCT ( = 168) arms. Preoperative "Pain Intensity" (PI) on Numerical Rating Scale and postoperative PIs until day 7 were recorded.

Comparative Accuracy of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography and Clearing Technique in Studying Root Canal and Apical Morphology of Mandibular Canines.

Introduction: Knowledge about root canal anatomy improves the long-term prognosis of endodontic treatment. This study aimed to investigate the accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in assessment of morphology of root canal and apex in mandibular canines compared with the clearing technique.

Methods And Material: In this study, 33 extracted mandibular canines were subjected to CBCT with 0.

Nonsurgical Management of an Immature Maxillary Central Incisor with Type III Dens Invaginatus Using MTA Plug: A Case Report.

Dens invaginatus is a developmental anomaly, caused by deepening of the enamel organ into the dental papilla before calcification of the dental tissues. Teeth with dens invagination are susceptible to early caries and pulp necrosis within a few years of eruption or even before root end closure. This article reports two immature maxillary central incisors with type I and III dens invaginatus which had necrotic pulp and a large periradicular lesion, that were treated successfully by nonsurgical root canal treatment.
