Impact of dental operating microscope, selective dentin removal and cone beam computed tomography on detection of second mesiobuccal canal in maxillary molars: A clinical study.

Introduction: Maxillary molars may frequently require root canal therapy and can have complex anatomy. It is important to locate and treat the second mesiobuccal canal to significantly improve prognosis.

Aim Of The Study: The purpose of this study was to evaluate direct vision, dental operating microscope (DOM), selective dentin removal under DOM, and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in clinical detection of second mesiobuccal root canal (MB2) in maxillary molars.

In Vivo Strain Alterations in Mandibular Molars after Root Canal Treatment Procedures.

Introduction: The aim of this investigation was to determine the coronal strain variations in mandibular molars under an in vivo bite load after root canal treatment procedures.

Methods: The coronal strain in carious mandibular first molars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (experimental group) was compared with that of intact contralateral teeth (control group) in patients 20-40 years old. Experiments were conducted in 2 stages.

Coronal Bacterial Penetration after 7 days in class II endodontic access cavities restored with two temporary restorations: A Randomised Clinical Trial.

The aim of this in vivo randomised clinical trial was to assess coronal bacterial penetration after placement of Cavit G and IRM temporary restorations in Class II endodontic access cavities. After completion of endodontic treatment, placement of an orifice seal and disinfection of the operating field, sterile cotton pellets were placed in the pulp chamber and the cavities were restored with Cavit G or IRM. After 7 days, coronal and proximal restoration thickness was measured by digital radiographs.

Evaluation of Surface Roughness, Hardness, and Gloss of Composites After Three Different Finishing and Polishing Techniques: An In Vitro Study.

Introduction The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of three different polishing systems on the microhardness, surface roughness, and gloss of resin composites. Materials and Methods The materials evaluated were 3M™ ESPE™ Filtek™ Z-350 XT (3M™, St. Paul, MN, USA), Grandio (Voco, Cuxhaven, Germany), 3M™ ESPE™ Filtek™ Z250 (3M™, St.

The effect of three desensitizing agents on dentin hypersensitivity: A randomized, split-mouth clinical trial.

Objectives: This randomized clinical trial tested the effect of three different desensitizing agents on reduction of pain due to hypersensitive cervical dentin lesions.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-eight individuals with 84 teeth diagnosed with cervical dentin hypersensitivity (DH) in at least one tooth in any three of the four quadrants were selected. Patients exhibiting pain scores of two or more on the visual analog scale (VAS) were included in the study.

Remineralization ability of sodium fluoride on the microhardness of enamel, dentin, and dentinoenamel junction: An study.

Aim: Dental tissues such as enamel, dentinoenamel junction (DEJ), dentin, and root dentin can react differently to demineralization and remineralization. The aim of this study was to evaluate the remineralization ability of sodium fluoride on the microhardness of enamel, dentin, and dentinoenamel junction.

Materials And Methods: Ten extracted third molar teeth were sectioned mesiodistally to form control and test groups.

Comparative evaluation of fracture resistance under static and fatigue loading of endodontically treated teeth restored with carbon fiber posts, glass fiber posts, and an experimental dentin post system: an in vitro study.

Introduction: This investigation sought to compare the fracture resistance under static and fatigue loading of endodontically treated teeth restored with fiber-reinforced composite posts and experimental dentin posts milled from human root dentin by using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing.

Methods: Seventy maxillary central incisors were obturated and divided into 4 groups: control group without any post (n = 10), carbon fiber post group (n = 20), glass fiber post group (n = 20), and dentin post group (n = 20). Control group teeth were prepared to a height of 5 mm.
