Vital Pulp Therapy as a Conservative Approach for Management of Invasive Cervical Root Resorption: A Case Series.

Introduction: Clear treatment guidelines with predictable outcomes for invasive cervical root resorption (ICRR) do not exist. Recent studies show that an internal approach for the excavation and repair of resorptive lacunae using bioactive materials might be preferred over external surgical approaches in cases with extensive ICRR. The procedure appears to interrupt and stop the resorptive process and preserves the periodontium.

Antimicrobial Activity of Calcium-Enriched Mixture Cement and Biodentine on : An Study.

Introduction: The main cause of endodontic failure is residual bacteria in the root canal system. is the predominant species isolated from infected root canals. This study aims to compare the antibacterial activity of calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement and Biodentine as root canal filling materials on .

Comparative Antimicrobial Efficacy of and Extracts, Chlorhexidine and Sodium Hypochlorite against .

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of and methanolic extracts, chlorhexidine (CHX) and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on as the predominant species isolated from infected root canals.

Methods And Materials: One hundred twenty mandibular premolars were randomly divided into 8 groups: 12.5 mg/mL, 6.

Miniature Pulpotomy of Symptomatic Mature Permanent Teeth: A Report of Two Cases.

Human dental pulp inflammation can progress to periapical lesion formation and conventional root canal treatment (RCT) has been the traditional method for disease management. This observational study presents two cases of vital pulp therapy in mature molars diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis and associated with apical periodontitis. In these two clinical cases, the involved teeth had deep carious lesions with a history of spontaneous/lingering pain and radiographic examinations revealed the presence of apical radiolucencies.

Noxious Stimulation of the Rat Tooth Pulp May Impair Learning and Memory Through the Induction of Hippocampal Apoptosis.

Aims: To determine whether noxious stimulation of the rat tooth pulp induces learning and memory impairment through the induction of apoptosis in the hippocampus.

Methods: Thirty-five adult rats were divided randomly into five groups (each n=7) as follows: control, sham-operated, sham-vehicle, capsaicin-treated, and capsaicin plus ibuprofen-treated group. After preparing dental cavities via cutting 2 mm of the distal extremities of the mandibular incisors, polyethylene crowns were placed on the teeth.

Long-term effect of an educational intervention regarding dental trauma first aid: a phase II study.

Interventions that improve knowledge about emergency management of traumatic dental injuries may be a good way to achieve a more favorable prognosis in such situations. We set out to evaluate the short- and long-term effects of combined educational interventions on health teachers, including lecture presentation, question-and-answer sessions, and informational posters to promote awareness regarding emergency measures for traumatized teeth. Assessment was performed using a three-part questionnaire, including demographic data, knowledge, and self-assessment.
