Article Synopsis
- Maintaining pulp vitality is vital, but treatment options for large lesions may jeopardize the health of affected teeth; many clinicians are not familiar with the latest American Association of Endodontists (AAE) guidelines, which can impact their treatment decisions.
- A qualitative survey involving 120 dental professionals (endodontists, surgeons, and general practitioners) assessed their approaches to a structured case scenario to determine variations in their management practices and knowledge of AAE guidelines.
- The study revealed significant differences in decision-making between professional groups, suggesting that while endodontists and general dentists are generally aware of AAE guidelines, other specialties may not be as familiar, highlighting the need for more randomized clinical trials to improve management strategies for teeth linked to large cyst
The aim of the study was to compare the composite adaptation of three systems by using cross-polarization optical coherence tomography (CP-OCT). Most polymer-based restorations suffer from polymerization shrinkage that affects the interfacial seal. This shrinkage cannot be detected by conventional X-ray methods.
