Context: Endo-PTC are used during endodontic treatment; however, until now no study evaluated the cleaning of dentin walls after use of different Endo-PTC formulations.
Aims: The aim of this study was to assess qualitatively, by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, the cleaning of dentin walls of root canals after chemomechanical preparation (CMP) using Endo-PTC cream and Endo-PTC light associated to 2.5% sodium hypochlorite and 17% ethylenediamine tetraacetate (EDTA).
Objectives: This study was aimed to evaluate different endodontic obturation techniques (Thermafil, lateral condensation, and Tagger's hybrid technique) regarding the homogeneity of the obturation radiopacity.
Materials And Methods: Seventy roots of human upper central incisors were filled using the Thermafil system, lateral condensation. and Tagger's hybrid technique.
Background And Objective: The disadvantage of photodynamic therapy (PDT) is in the photosensitizing agents that may stain the tooth structure. There is no register of PDT studies evaluating protocols to minimize that concern. The present study evaluated the efficiency of chemical adjuncts in methylene blue dye (MB) removal after PDT.
