A Spectrophotometric comparative evaluation of the sealing ability of various perforation repair materials with a novel eggshell modified GIC.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the sealing ability of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Biodentine, glass ionomer cement, and glass ionomer cement modified with Chicken Eggshell Powder when used as furcation perforation repair material.

Materials And Methods: In the present study, 80 human lower first molars were used. Collected teeth had no caries or restoration, and none had fused roots.

A scanning electron microscopic study evaluating the sealing ability of MTA, BiodentineTM, and new light-cure MTA used for furcal perforation repair.

Background: To evaluate and compare the sealing ability of Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), BiodentineTM and light cure MTA used for the repair of furcal perforations using scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Material And Methods: The study sample comprised 45 extracted mandibular molars. The teeth were embedded in modeling wax.

Radiographic evaluation of root canal curvature in mesiobuccal canals of mandibular molars by different methods and its correlation with canal access angle in curved canals: An study.

Aims: The aim of this study is to compare three different methods of measuring root canal curvature and its correlation with canal access angle (CAA) in curved mesiobuccal canals of permanent mandibular first molars.

Materials And Methods: Sixty human mandibular first molars were used in this study. Standardized access cavities were prepared.

Endodontic management of mandibular first molars with mid mesial canal: A case series.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the importance of knowledge of the internal anatomy of root canals for the success of endodontic treatment. Lack of knowledge of anatomic variations and their characteristics in different teeth has been pointed out as one of the main cause of endodontic therapy failure. Dental operating microscope plays a key role in the identification of canal and success of endodontic treatment.

The Effect of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate on the Periapical Tissues after Unintentional Extrusion beyond the Apical Foramen.

. Single-step apexification procedures using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) have been reported as favorable treatment options for teeth with an open apex, posing greater benefits compared to the other available medicaments. However, controlled apical placement of MTA is a challenging procedure to perform using orthograde approach.

Scanning electron microscopic analysis to compare the cleaning efficiency of three different irrigation systems at different root canal levels: an in vitro study.

Aim: This study compared the efficacy of conventional, endovac and ultrasonic irrigation system for the removal of debris from root canal walls, using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) at cervical, middle and apical 3rd.

Materials And Methods: A total of 30 freshly extracted human mandibular premolars with complete root formation were selected and divided into group 1 endovac, group 2 conventional and group 3 ultrasonic. After instrumentation and irrigation, the teeth were sectioned in buccolingual direction and analyzed by SEM and the results were analyzed statistically by students unpaired 't' test.

Comparison of canal transportation and centering ability of rotary protaper, one shape system and wave one system using cone beam computed tomography: An in vitro study.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to compare the canal transportation and centering ability of Rotary ProTaper, One Shape and Wave One systems using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in curved root canals to find better instrumentation technique for maintaining root canal geometry.

Materials And Methods: Total 30 freshly extracted premolars having curved root canals with at least 10 degrees of curvature were divided into three groups of 10 teeth each. All teeth were scanned by CBCT to determine the root canal shape before instrumentation.

Evaluation of the Amount of Debris extruded apically by using Conv-entional Syringe, Endovac and Ultrasonic Irrigation Technique: An In Vitro Study.

Background: To compare the amount of debris extruded apically by using conventional syringe, Endovac & Ultrasonic irrigation.

Materials & Methods: Thirty freshly extracted mandibular premolars were selected, working length was determined and mounted in a debris and collection apparatus. The canals were prepared.

Assessment of Facial Golden Proportions among North Maharashtri-an Population.

Background: Divine Proportion in Orthodontics and Prosthodontics has always been intriguing. This was applied to the North Maharashtrian population to evaluate the relationship between facial esthetics and the golden proportions.

Materials & Methods: Facial proportions were assessed by examining photographs of sum total of 300 subjects of North Maharashtrian population.
