Comparative Evaluation of Periapical Expulsion Using Manual, Rotary, and Reciprocating Instrumentation With EndoVac Irrigation: An In Vitro Study.

Background The present study aimed to assess the efficacy of a heat-treated, FlexiCON nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) rotary instrumentation system and compare it with existing commonly used instrumentation systems (hand file, ProTaper Universal, and WaveOne) using the EndoVac irrigation system. Methodology A total of 210 single-rooted, human permanent anterior teeth were equally divided into four groups of 50 teeth each (Group I for step-back, group II for ProTaper rotary, Group III for WaveOne reciprocating, and Group IV for FlexiCON rotary instrumentation system), and 10 teeth were used as controls. Canals were irrigated with EndoVac irrigation in each group.

Restoring Vitality: The Science and Practice of Pulp Revascularization in Endodontics.

Pulp revascularization is an emerging treatment modality in endodontics aimed at preserving the vitality and function of immature permanent teeth with necrotic pulp and apical periodontitis. This review provides a comprehensive examination of the current state of pulp revascularization, encompassing its rationale, clinical procedures, indications, contraindications, advantages, limitations, and potential future prospects. By critically analyzing the existing literature and clinical experiences, this review aims to offer insights into the efficacy, challenges, and potential advancements in the field of pulp revascularization.

Patient induced unusual metallic obturation of the root canal of permanent maxillary central incisor with an immature apex - A rare case report.

Discovery of multiple foreign objects in the root canal is unusual and their removal is often difficult and challenging procedure. Entrapment of the foreign object in the pulp chamber or in root canal usually occur accidentally in children with the habit of chewing or placing various objects in the oral cavity. Clinically it was often encountered in tooth with wide carious lesion, exposed pulp chamber due to trauma or tooth left open for the drainage during root canal treatment.
