Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the etiologies of non-surgical root canal treatment (NS-RCT) in a Thai population and examine their association with risk factors.
Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was performed to examine the etiologies of NS-RCT and risk factors among Thai-nationality patients treated at a tertiary care dental hospital in Thailand from 2019-2023. Treatment records and radiographs were retrospectively reviewed to identify NS-RCT etiologies, and associated contributing factors were analyzed.
Aim: To investigate the cytotoxicity of three flowable resin composites that potentially useful as retrograde filling materials, compared with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA).
Methods: Ten standard cylinder discs were used for each of the tested materials: Tetric Flow, Filtex Flow, Aeliteflo, and MTA, which were prepared under aseptic conditions. Cytotoxicity of eluates from all materials after 1-4 days' immersion in culture medium and direct contact cytotoxicity were evaluated using cultured human periodontal ligament cells (PDLC).
Introduction: Fracture of root canal instruments is one of the most troublesome incidents in endodontic therapy. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to determine the outcome difference between retained fractured instrument cases and matched conventional treated cases.
Methods: The MEDLINE database, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Database were searched.
