Hemisection: Partial preservation of compromised tooth.

One of dentistry's primary objectives is the long-term maintenance of teeth. Hemisection may be the best line of action when only one root is decayed and the other one is intact. This case report outlines and depicts a situation in which the deteriorated terminal abutment was part of a cantilevered fixed prosthesis.

Evaluation of the efficacy of diode laser in bleaching of the tooth at different time intervals using spectrophotometer: An study.

Aim: This study aimed at comparative evaluation of the efficacy of tooth bleaching using different concentrations of carbamide peroxide (CP) with and without diode laser at 980 nm for 2.5 and 5 min time duration.

Materials And Methods: Hundred intact human incisors were selected.

Effect of blood contamination and various hemostatic procedures on the push-out bond strength of Biodentine when used for furcation perforation repair.

Background: Perforations in the furcation area are common procedural accidents that can impact the outcome of treatment. There are many bioactive materials available to repair these defects.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine and compare the effect of 25% aluminum chloride solution, 20% ferric sulfate solution, and a 980-nm diode laser, when used for hemostasis, on the dislocation resistance of Biodentine placed to repair furcation perforation.

Evaluation of shear bond strength of various adhesives under Simulated intrapulpal pressure: An study.

Introduction: The presence of pulpal fluid can influence dentin bonding. This study aimed to evaluate the shear bond strength of universal dental adhesives under simulated intrapulpal pressure.

Materials And Methods: Forty intact maxillary premolars were distributed into four groups (Group 1 - 3M ESPE Adper Single Bond 2 total etch adhesive, Group 2 - 3M ESPE Single Bond Universal, Group 3 - Prime and Bond universal adhesive, and Group 4 - Ivoclar Tetric N Bond Universal).
