Assessing the Efficacy of Cold Laser Therapy vs. Traditional Methods in Managing Post-Endodontic Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Unlabelled: The background of the study highlighted the common occurrence of post-endodontic pain and the need for effective pain management strategies.

Materials And Methods: Fifty patients were randomly assigned to two groups: the cold laser therapy (CLT) group and the traditional methods group (TMG). The CLT group received laser treatment at the affected area immediately following endodontic treatment, whereas the TMG received standard pain management techniques such as analgesics.

Evaluation of obturation techniques in primary teeth among Indians.

Evaluation of four distinct obturating methods namely endodontic pressure syringe (n=40), reamers (n=40), Lentulo spirals driven through slow-speed handpiece (n=40) and incremental filling technique (n=4) using zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) paste as obturating material in deciduous teeth is of interest to dentist. Hence, we are interested determining the effective obturation methodology using CBCT. Handpiece driven lentuspirals helped in optimum obturation in high percentage of root canals.

Study to Evaluate the Effect of Instrument Size on the Accuracy of Three Different Apex Locators when Various Irrigation Solutions are used in Vital and Non-Vital Teeth.

Introduction: Root canal success requires working length (WL) optimization. The current study examined how different apex locators on vital and non-vital teeth responded to instrument size.

Materials And Methods: Three hundred patients (180 men and 120 women) receiving root canal therapy at the department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics were evaluated.

Assessment of Various Reciprocating System in the Extrusion of Debris from Curved Root Canals: An Original Study.

Introduction: The endodontic preparation depends largely on the file systems that are used in the canal preparations. The amount of the intracanal debris that is extruded from the apex may be influenced by the file systems. Hence, the present study evaluated the amount the debris that is extruded for the two file systems at different working lengths.

Comparison of Cleaning Efficiency of Root Canal Using Different Rotary NiTi Instrumentation System: A Scanning Electron Microscopic Study.

Background: To ensure that endodontic treatment is as effective as possible, it is important to remove any smear layer that forms as part of the instrumentation procedure. This layer might reduce the overall effectiveness of endodontic therapy.

Aim Of The Study: For this research, two distinct types of rotary NiTi files were compared: WaveOne Gold (WOG) (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) and F360 (Komet Brasseler GmbH & Co.

Enhancement of Odontoblastic Differentiation of Stem Cells from Exfoliated Deciduous Tooth Using N-acetylcysteine-An Study.

Aim And Objective: The study was conducted to evaluate the effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on the propagation and differentiation of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth(SHED).

Materials And Methods: SHEDs were isolated by explant culture method and characterized for stem cell properties using flow cytometry method. MTT assay and Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay were used to examine the viability and proliferation of the SHEDs.

Evaluation of Antibacterial Properties of Organic Gutta-percha Solvents and Synthetic Solvents Against .

Background: The use of solvents is necessary to remove remnants of filling materials within dentinal tubules to allow penetration of irrigating solution within the tubules.

Aim And Objectives: We aimed at determining the antibacterial effect of various gutta-percha (GP) solvents against (E. faecalis).

Homeopathic consideration for resistant endodontic bacteria : An comparative disc diffusion study.

Background: Homeopathy is one of the commonly used systems of complementary or alternative medicine. The present study was conducted with an aim to compare the antibacterial efficacy of two commonly used homeopathic medicaments acid benzoicum 30C (SBL Pvt Ltd) and silicea 6C (SBL Pvt Ltd) with that of calcium hydroxide (Deepti Ltd) as intracanal medicament against (ATCC-29212).

Materials And Methods: The test organism used for the study was .

The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of silver nanoparticles against .

Aim: To determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of silver nanoparticles against . The antimicrobial efficacy of the silver nanoparticles was determined by the standard methods of Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI). Different concentrations of silver nanoparticles were prepared, and MIC was calculated by tube macro-dilution method.

Abnormal mitral valve apparatus in a case of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy: Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography.

Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy is a relatively common disorder that signifies asymmetric hypertrophy of interventricular septum causing obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT). However, more recent studies have shown that during ventricular systole, flow against an abnormal mitral valve apparatus results in drag forces on the part of the leaflets. The mitral leaflet is pushed into the LVOT to obstruct it.

A Comparative Evaluation of the Retention of Tooth Coloured and Stainless Steel Endodontic Posts: An In-vitro Study.

Aims: This in vitro study evaluated: a) the retention of stainless steel posts of 1.5 mm diameter which were cemented with Zinc Phosphate cement versus Glass fiber posts with 1.1 mm, 1.

Managing curved canals.

Dilaceration is the result of a developmental anomaly in which there has been an abrupt change in the axial inclination between the crown and the root of a tooth. Dilaceration can be seen in both the permanent and deciduous dentitions, and is more commonly found in posterior teeth and in maxilla. Periapical radiographs are the most appropriate way to diagnose the presence of root dilacerations.
