Comparative Evaluation of the Bonding Efficacy of Multimode Adhesive, Two-Step Self-Etch Adhesive, and a Total-Etch System to Pulpal Floor Dentin - An Study.

Background: Postendodontic restoration with composite resins has gained popularity due to the development of more reliable adhesives with simplified bonding procedures and less technique sensitivity. Pulpal floor dentin is a complex biological structure and a more challenging bonding substrate. Hence, appropriate selection of the bonding agent for these regions of the tooth is important.

Regenerative Endodontics: A Paradigm Shift in Clinical Endodontics.

Preserving the natural dentition in its normal form and function is one of the major goals of endodontic treatment. Re-establishing the lost vitality and development of root maturation in immature permanent teeth with pulp necrosis/apical periodontitis is quiet challenging clinically. The very basis of regenerative endodontics relies on the concept of tissue engineering using stem cells, biomimetic scaffold, and bioactive growth factors to regenerate the pulp tissue damaged by microbial infection, injury, or developmental defects.

An Evaluation of Antimicrobial Efficacy of Root Canal Preparation With Hand K-Files, Hand Pro Taper, and Pro Taper Rotary Files.

Background: Microorganisms are considered to be the primary cause behind persistent pulpoperiapical pathologies as well as endodontic failures. It has been found that is one of the most commonly isolated organisms in failed endodontic treatment. Proper and appropriate mechanical instrumentation is necessary to eradicate these microorganisms.
