Objective: This study aimed to assess the antimicrobial effectiveness of a new disinfection regimen Curcumin photosensitizer (CP), Synchronized Microbubble Photodynamic Activation (SYMPA), Photon-induced photoacoustic streaming (PIPS), and its impact on the extrusion bond strength (EBS) of root filling material to canal dentin.

Materials And Methods: Root canal treatments of sixty mandibular incisors were performed, and an overnight culture of E. faecalis was cultivated in the BHI medium.

To evaluate the outcome of post space disinfection using Er,Cr:YSGG laser (ECYL), riboflavin photosensitizer (RFP), and photon-induced photoacoustic streaming (PIPS) along with ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) as final irrigant on the bond values of glass fiber post (GFP) to the canal wall. Forty human mandibular premolars were subjected to root canal treatment after decoronation till the cementoenamel junction. Post space was prepared using a Gates-Glidden drill leaving 4 mm of gutta perch at the apical third of the root section.

Article Synopsis
  • This study compared the effectiveness of traditional instruction versus blended learning on dental students' performance in a preclinical endodontic course.
  • Two groups of students were evaluated: those taught traditionally before the pandemic and those taught with a blended approach during the pandemic.
  • The results showed that blended learning led to significantly higher written exam scores and overall preference among students, while practical competency scores were similar across both groups.
