Evaluation of postoperative pain relief after pulpotomy using different procedures for disinfection and hemostasis in symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate postoperative pain scores after sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and KTP laser pulpotomies in the permanent teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis retrospectively. Materials and Methods: This study is based on the records of patients treated with pulpotomy using sodium hypochlorite or KTP laser for disinfection and hemostasis at the Department of Endodontics. Sixty patients' molar teeth were treated with either NaOCl or KTP laser.

Efficacy of Potassium Titanyl Phosphate Laser and Sodium Hypochlorite on Postoperative Pain Intensity Following Pulpotomy in Teeth with Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

This study evaluated the postoperative pain intensity in permanent teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis treated by pulpotomy using physiological saline, sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), or the potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser. Ninety patients diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis in permanent molars were randomly divided into three groups according to the pulpotomy procedures. Preoperative pain levels were recorded.

Effect of different irrigation activation methods on non-infected dentinal tubule penetration of medicaments: A CLSM study.

Background: The whole root canal disinfection is crucial in terms of long-term endodontic success. In this context, applying medicaments following effective irrigation activation procedures becomes an important point.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of various irrigation activation techniques on non-infected dentinal tubule penetration of calcium hydroxide (CH), double (DAP), and triple (TAP) antibiotic pastes.

Evaluation of the effect of calcium hydroxide paste on sealer penetration into dentinal tubules by confocal laser scanning microscopy.

The study evaluated sealer penetration after calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH) ) removal from the root canals. Sixty single-rooted mandibular premolars were divided into six groups. Ca(OH) paste placed into the root canals except for the control group (CG) was removed using the following irrigation techniques: conventional needle irrigation (CNI), EndoActivator (EA), EndoVac (EV), passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) and photon-induced photoacoustic streaming (PIPS) technique.

Evaluation of apically extruded debris and irrigant using different file systems.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the amount of apically extruded debris and irrigant during cleaning and shaping with different file systems.

Materials And Methods: Seventy-five extracted mandibular premolar and canine teeth were randomly divided into five groups (n = 15). The root canals were instrumented by using Mtwo (VDW, Munich, Germany), Twisted File (TF; Sybron Endo, Orange, California, USA), Reciproc (VDW), Self-Adjusting File (SAF; Re Dent-Nova, Ra'anana, Israel) systems, and K-type stainless steel hand file (Mani Inc.
