Breakthrough in the Development of Endodontic Irrigants.

The three main components of endodontic success are three-dimensional obturation, pulp space sterilization, and biomechanical preparation. Instrumentation techniques are insufficient to accomplish complete disinfection of the pulp space. It is essential to use additional tools, such as endodontic irrigants.

The Management of a C1-Shaped Canal Configuration in a Mandibular Second Molar.

The mandibular second molar has one unique feature regarding internal anatomy: it tends to have a C-shaped configuration in many cases. In mandibular second molar teeth, it is a variance of racial predilection that is frequently observed. During negotiation, debridement, and obturation, the physician is frequently faced with difficulties due to the complexity inherent in this diversity of canal morphology.

Innovative Pulp Preservation: The Use of Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) in Treating Dental Pulp Exposure.

The dental pulp, essential for tooth vitality, often becomes inflamed when exposed due to caries, fractures, or dislodged restorations. Untreated inflammation can lead to pulpal death, necessitating vital pulp therapies (VPTs) such as pulp capping and pulpotomy. Recent trends favor partial caries removal to avoid overtreatment and preserve pulp health.

Metamorphosing Smiles Through Esthetic Vital Bleaching: A Twin Case Report.

Patients have been recently observed to have undergone a noticeable increase in the concern over tooth discoloration making it a common cosmetic issue. This cumulative number of visits to dental experts is in search of ways to whiten their teeth because they desire to improve their looks. Often, the desire for a brighter smile is associated with health and beauty perceptions.

Management of a Case of a Large Perforation Repair With Biodentine.

Perforations, which are artificial contact connections among teeth and supporting tissues, have a substantial impact on the success of root canal therapy, whether caused by iatrogenic or pathological causes. This case report describes a 51-year-old female who had intermittent jaw pain that was diagnosed as perforation and was successfully controlled with endodontic intervention following a referral due to procedural problems. The perforation in the furcation zone of a molar was treated with biodentine, demonstrating its sealing, biocompatibility, and tissue restoration properties.

Platelet Power: Revitalizing Endodontics With Scaffolds.

This article provides an overview of a biologically based method for restoring damaged tooth structures and pulp tissues known as regenerative endodontics. It explores the concept of regenerative endodontics, its tissue engineering approach, and its application in maintaining vitality. The article discusses the significance of the factors affecting growth, scaffolds, and stem cells being the three tissue engineering components involved in the regeneration of pulp tissues.

From Crisis to Victory: Rescuing Root Canal Treatment With Bioactive Material in a Nail-Biting Case of Furcal Perforation.

This case report illustrates the successful treatment of an iatrogenic furcal perforation using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and its reinforcement with fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs). Endodontic perforations, particularly in the furcal area, present unique challenges that demand effective management strategies. MTA, known for its multifaceted properties including osteoinductive activity and sealing capabilities, has emerged as the gold standard material for perforation repair.
