Comparative assessment of the outcome of complete pulpotomy using mineral trioxide aggregate and Biodentine in mature permanent mandibular molars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis: A randomized clinical trial with 18 months of follow-up.

Background: Mature permanent teeth with irreversible pulpitis have traditionally been managed with pulpectomy. With advancements in pulp biology and dental materials, many clinicians are using vital pulp therapies like pulpotomy to manage such teeth. The current study was conducted to help clinicians in making decisions about case selection and choice of material for such cases.

Effect of different irrigating solutions with surfactants on the microhardness and smear layer removal of root canal dentin: An study.

Aim: The present study was undertaken to check the effect of the different irrigating solutions with surfactants, i.e., sodium hypochlorite-(Naocl)-Extra, chlorhexidine (CHX)-Ultra, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), QMix, and BioPure MTAD on the microhardness and smear layer removal of root canal dentin.

Comparative evaluation of push-out bond strength of root-end filling materials in root-end cavities prepared by laser or ultrasonic technique: An study.

Context: The use of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine as a root-end filling materials used in the root-end cavities prepared by laser or ultrasonic technique is a current topic in the branch of dentistry and push-out bond strength is used to measure the adhesiveness provided by the root-end filling materials.

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the push-out bond strength of MTA and Biodentine in root-end cavities prepared by erbium:yttrium-aluminium-garne (Er:YAG) laser and ultrasonic retrotip.

Materials And Methods: A total of 40 extracted maxillary central incisors and canines were selected.

An comparison of the antimicrobial efficacy of positive pressure and negative pressure irrigation techniques in root canals infected with .

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of irrigation with the negative pressure and the traditional positive pressure in eradicating from the root canal.

Materials And Methods: A total of 40 extracted mandibular premolars were sterilized and divided into four groups with 10 samples each. Then, they were prepared to apical size #35 (Group 1, 3) and 45 (Group 2, 4) and inoculated with E.

MTA versus Biodentine: Review of Literature with a Comparative Analysis.

An ideal dental repair material should possess certain exclusive properties such as adequate adhesive ability, insolubility, dimensional stability, biocompatibility, bioactivity etc. New materials claiming better performance are continuously being introduced in the market to optimize the care of dental patients. Biodentine has been recently introduced as the "the first all-in-one, bioactive and biocompatible material for damaged dentin replacement".

Antimicrobial effect of an oxazolidinone, lantibiotic and calcium hydroxide against Enterococcus faecalis biofilm: An in vitro study.

Aims: The aim was to evaluate and compare the antimicrobial efficacy of an oxazolidinone (linezolid [LZ]), lantibiotic (nisin), and calcium hydroxide against Enterococcus faecalis biofilm formed on tooth substrate after 2 and 7 days.

Methods: Single rooted human mandibular premolars were decoronated, biomechanically prepared, and vertically sectioned along the midsagittal plane to obtain a standardized tooth substrate. Standardized suspension of E.

Evaluation of three different concentrations of Chlorhexidine for their substantivity to human dentin.

Aim: To evaluate the substantivity of different concentrations of Chlorhexidine (CHX) to dentin disks prepared in-vitro.

Materials And Methods: Sixty dentin disks were prepared from extracted human third molars and divided into three groups (each containing 20 disks). All the disks were partially demineralized, as per standard procedure.

Healing of a large periapical lesion using triple antibiotic paste and intracanal aspiration in nonsurgical endodontic retreatment.

A patient with a large periapical lesion in relation to the maxillary right central and lateral incisors is presented here. During the conservative root canal treatment, aspiration of the fluid was done through the root canal, followed by placement of triple antibiotic paste for two weeks. Complete periapical healing was observed at the 24-month recall.
