Comparison of marginal adaptation of mineral trioxide aggregate, glass ionomer cement and intermediate restorative material as root-end filling materials, using scanning electron microscope: An in vitro study.

Aim: The present study compares the marginal adaption of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA), Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) and Intermediate Restorative Material (IRM) as root-end filling materials in extracted human teeth using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).

Materials And Methods: Thirty single rooted human teeth were obturated with Gutta-percha after cleaning and shaping. Apical 3 mm of roots were resected and retrofilled with MTA, GIC and IRM.

Endodontic management of a maxillary molar with three mesiobuccal canals.

It is imperative that the clinician should have comprehensive knowledge about the normal anatomy and its variations of the teeth as the deviations from the usual are very common. An increased awareness of unusual anatomy and a better understanding of the root canal system guide the clinician in accurate diagnosis and treatment of such variations in order to achieve a successful endodontic outcome. The maxillary first molar has been shown to have a wide variation in respect to the number of canals specifically noted in the mesiobuccal root.

Evaluation of the Antibacterial efficacy of Omeprazole with Sodium Hypochlorite as an Endodontic Irrigating Solution- An Invivo Study.

Background: Proton pump inhibitors are used in endodontic disinfection of root canals for elimination of enterococcus faecalis. This invivo study on Wistner Rats is carried out to determine antimicrobial efficacy of proton pump inhibitor in combination with sodium hypochlorite & Mixture of Isomer of tetracycline, acid and detergent (MTAD) against E. Faecalis Materials & Methods: Periapical lesions were induced on the 30 Incisor teeth of 30 male Wistner rats (10per group).

Splinting with diastema closure as an adjunct to periodontal therapy.

A variety of treatment modalities, from removable partial dentures, fixed prosthesis to implant placement can be used for replacement of missing teeth. Anterior diastema closure is one of the most challenging tasks; it is appreciable that restorative approach is the fastest, simplest and most predictable. This case report presents a successfully accomplished closure of diastema in mandibular anterior teeth, and splinting of the adjacent teeth which were grade II mobile.
