Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of hydraulic calcium silicate (Biodentine) as a core material to the e.max ceramic restoration.
Methods: Forty discs (6 mm diameter; 2 mm thickness) were fabricated from each core material, Hydraulic calcium silicate [Biodentine™, Septodont], resin composite [Filtek™Z250 XT, 3M ESPE], and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) [GC Fuji II LC, GC Corporation].
Introduction: This histologic study aimed to measure the morphometric and morphologic changes in periodontal tissue after immediate and delayed mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) repair of 2 sizes of furcal perforations.
Methods: There were 72 premolars from 12 beagle dogs that were divided equally into 4 experimental and 2 control groups (n = 12). Experimental groups included immediate small (0.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the clarity of periapical lesions and the quality of root canal treatment by comparing digital images of radiographs to original films.
- One hundred and four periapical radiographs were digitized and assessed by three evaluators for clarity and diagnostic quality, with data analyzed for reliability.
- Results showed that both digital and conventional radiographs had comparable clarity and diagnostic quality, indicating a moderate agreement among evaluators.
Background: Mature teeth with chronic apical abscesses characterized by intermittent discharge of pus through an associated sinus tract. This communication between oral mucosa and periapical inflammation is challenging for the sealing ability of root canal obturation material. Therefore, the study aim was to compare the outcomes of endodontic treatment using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) cement to the conventional gutta-percha cone and root canal sealer as an obturation material in mature teeth with chronic apical abscesses.

Methods: This prospective study was conducted between October 2010 and February 2014 in the Stem Unit, College of Medicine, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Seventeen teeth extracted from 11 participants were processed separately to assess the minimum tissue weight needed to yield cells for culturing in vitro.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of training duration and case difficulty on the radiographic quality of root canal fillings performed by dental students in Saudi Arabia.
Methods And Materials: A longitudinal cohort study was conducted at King Saud University. Root canal treatments performed by 55 dental students from 2012-2014 were included in the study.
