Management of Complex Crown Fractures: A Case Series.

Maxillary teeth are most vulnerable to fracture due to trauma. An effective treatment plan for an anterior teeth fracture not only improves function and appearance but also benefits the patient psychologically. The reattachment of the fragmented tooth is one of the best treatment methods for such condition.

Comparative Evaluation of Retention of Fiber Posts in Different Dentin Regions Using Various Bonding Techniques: An In Vitro Study.

Aim This study aims to evaluate the retention of fiber posts in the coronal, middle, and apical dentin regions with various bonding techniques by using fifth, sixth, and eighth-generation bonding agents and self-etch adhesive cement. Materials and methods For this study, 96 freshly extracted human incisors with straight roots were selected. Endodontic treatment of the specimens was performed.

Comparative Evaluation of Smear Layer Removal in Apical Third Using Four Different Irrigants With Ultrasonic Agitation: An In Vitro Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) Analysis.

Aim This study aims to compare and evaluate the efficacy of four different irrigating solutions like sodium hypochlorite, ethylenediaminetetraacetic (EDTA), Oxum, and ozonated water with ultrasonic agitation in removing the smear layer in the apical third of root canals using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Materials and methods For the study, 50 freshly extracted human mandibular premolars with single well-developed roots without any curvatures were taken. The teeth taken were decoronated to obtain a uniform working length of 15 mm, and the samples were instrumented using a ProTaper Gold rotary file system (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) up to F2 size, along with irrigation of 1 ml of 3% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) in between instrumentation.
