Comparative analysis of rotary versus manual instrumentation in paediatric pulpectomy procedures: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The use of rotary file in permanent teeth is well-documented, but there is limited scientific evidence for its effectiveness in primary teeth. A meta-analysis was conducted to compare rotary and manual tools in primary tooth pulpectomy procedures. Ten databases were searched from 2000 to 2024 to find relevant literature.

Comparative Evaluation of Different Obturation Techniques for Root Canal Filling of Permanent Teeth: An In-Vitro Study.

Introduction: Achieving success in root canal (RC) therapy relies on three key components: comprehensive cleaning of the canal, efficient disinfection, and proper filling of the canal space. The present study aimed to compare the efficacy of four obturation techniques: single cone (SC), GuttaCore (GC), cold lateral condensation (LC), and C Point system for RC filling of permanent teeth.

Materials And Methods: 76 extracted human mandibular first premolars were divided into four groups, with 19 teeth in each group (group A, obturation with SC technique; group B, obturation with GC; group C, obturation with LC; and group D, obturation with C Point system).

A Study to Assess Etiology and Prevalence of Signs and Symptoms of Temporomandibular Disorder.

Aim: The purpose of this epidemiological research was to determine how common temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms are.

Materials And Methods: Among the outpatient population, a sample of 100 people was chosen at random. A patient survey was presented to each person, and points were allotted based on their responses.

Aberrant Location of Low-grade Myofibroblastic Sarcoma of the Gingiva in Posterior Maxilla.

Unlabelled: Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma is a malignant tumor arising from myofibroblasts, which has only recently become clearly defined. It represents a rare entity developing in the soft tissues of the head and neck. About 20 cases have been reported in the oral cavity, especially in the tongue and bone, while gingiva as the primary site has been described only twice to date.

Severe insulin resistance syndrome - A rare case report and review of literature.

Insulin Resistance syndromes (IR's), are a group of genetic disorders caused due a functional defect in chromosome 19p13. It is an autosomal recessive condition. Donohue Syndrome was initially described by Donohue and Uchida in 1948 and 1954, a case of sisters born to parents with a first-degree consanguineous marriage.

Scaffolds--The Ground for Regeneration: A Narrative Review.

Aim: The aim of this study was to comprehensively review the various biomaterials used as scaffolds, rates of biodegradability of natural, artificial and composite hybrid scaffolds, and the role of controlled biodegradability in tissue engineering.

Materials And Methods: An electronic search for systematic review was conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE (www.ncbi.

Clinical Success of Platelet-rich Fibrin and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) or MTA-like Agents in Healing of Periapical Lesion in Nonsurgically Treated Pulpless Immature Permanent Teeth: A Systematic Review.

Background: The chances of extrusion of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) are quite high if apical barrier is not present in immature pulpless permanent teeth. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) enriched with platelets and growth factors serves to accelerate the wound healing of periapical lesion in immature pulpless permanent teeth and also serves as internal matrix to condense MTA.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to comprehensively review the clinical success of MTA+PRF in healing of periapical lesions in immature pulpless permanent teeth.
