Comparison of Bromelain and Diclofenac in the Management of Postoperative Pain and Quality of Life Following Root Canal Therapy: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Aim This study aimed to compare the analgesic efficacy and adverse effects of oral bromelain and diclofenac in relieving postoperative pain and improving postoperative quality of life in patients with irreversible pulpitis in mandibular first molars after root canal therapy. Materials and methods A simple randomized double-blinded clinical trial was carried out. One hundred patients with symptomatic pulpitis requiring root canal therapy of mandibular first permanent molars were randomly divided into two groups after obtaining informed consent.

Comparison of ultrasonic versus side-vented needle irrigation for reductions in bacterial growth and postoperative pain: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Postoperative pain affects 16%-25% of root canal therapy patients. The irrigating system and irrigants used should reduce bacterial load without irrigant extrusion beyond the root canal apex, potentially reducing postoperative pain and discomfort.

Aim: This study aims to compare the effects of passive ultrasonic irrigation and side-vented needle irrigation on postoperative pain and bacterial load in single-rooted teeth with pulp necrosis.

Antimicrobial Efficacy of Liquorice Extracts on Most Common Endodontics Pathogens.

Aim: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Antimicrobial effect of liquorice extracts and compare its action to commonly used root canal medicaments like calcium hydroxide and chlorhexidine against and .

Materials And Methods: Ethanolic and aqueous extracts of liquorice root were prepared. Antimicrobial activity was tested by agar well diffusion method on and using Mueller Hinton agar.

Comparison of postoperative pain following single-visit and two-visit root canal therapy in controlled diabetic patients with irreversible pulpitis: A randomized control trial.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the prevalence of postoperative pain after single- and two-visit endodontic therapy in controlled Type 2 diabetic and nondiabetic individuals in multirooted teeth with irreversible pulpitis.

Materials And Methods: Ninety patients with irreversible pulpitis (30 controlled diabetics and 60 nondiabetics), between 18 and 60 years were included in the study. After obtaining initial pain scores, patients were randomly allocated to single-visit or two-visit root canal treatment (RCT) groups to receive standardized treatment.

Detection of second mesiobuccal canals in maxillary first molars of the Indian population - a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to integrate the detection of second mesiobuccal (MB2) canals in maxillary first molars reported by different studies and methods on the Indian population.Methods This systematic review was conducted following Meta-analysis Of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) and PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Medline, LILACS, Science Direct, Clinicaltrials.

Clinical performance of class I cavities restored with bulk fill composite at a 1-year follow-up using the FDI criteria: a randomized clinical trial.

Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate the survival rate and clinical performance of class 1 composite restorations restored with the Filtek Bulk Fill composite material using either the bulk fill technique or the incremental technique at baseline (1 week) and at 3, 6 and 12 months of follow-up.

Materials And Methods: Forty-two patients with at least 2 carious teeth were selected. Following randomization, one tooth was restored with the Filtek Bulk Fill composite using the incremental fill technique, and the other tooth was restored with the same material using the bulk fill technique.

Nasal prosthesis with magnetically secured intranasal framework for a patient with partial rhinectomy and intraoral defects: A case report.

Unlabelled: Partial rhinectomy is a challenge for most maxillofacial prosthodontists, as retention of the prosthesis is a major issue to overcome. The scenario becomes even more difficult when there is an intraoral defect. This article describes the fabrication of a removable silicone nasal prosthesis and removable PMMA intraoral obturator prosthesis to rehabilitate a patient following partial rhinectomy with associated loss of premaxilla.

Platelet-rich fibrin and collagen matrix for the regeneration of infected necrotic immature teeth.

Unlabelled: Revitalization of an immature necrotic tooth is possible under conditions of total canal disinfection. This case report describes an immature tooth #21 with periapical pathology which was treated through revascularization using 3% sodium hypochlorite and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid as irrigants; calcium hydroxide was placed as an intracanal medicament, platelet-rich fibrin as a scaffold, and collagen matrix was placed as a barrier. On follow-up at 2 years, healing of periapical lesion, apical closure could be appreciated.

Accuracy of marginal adaptation of posterior fixed dental prosthesis made from digital impression technique: A systematic review.

Aim: The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the marginal adaptation of three or four unit fixed dental prosthesis (FDP) fabricated with digital impression techniques to those fabricated using any other impression technique.

Settings And Design: Database/electronic searches were conducted till August 2019 in PUBMED-MEDLINE, SCOPUS, and Cochrane library. To identify published articles, multiple keywords were used to develop a search strategy in various combinations.

Antimicrobial Efficacy of , Lemon, , and Calcium Hydroxide as Intracanal Medicament Against : A Confocal Microscopic Study.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of different intracanal medicaments against using confocal microscopy.

Materials And Methods: Eighty extracted single-rooted mandibular premolar teeth were used in this study, which were decoronated and instrumented with K-files following which biomechanical preparation was performed up to ProTaper F3. The teeth were inoculated with and incubated for 21 days.

Comparative evaluation of color stability of three composite resins in mouthrinse: An study.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of chlorhexidine mouthrinse on the color stability between three different types of composites.

Materials And Methods: A total of 30 samples of size 10-mm length, 1-mm width, and 1-mm thickness were prepared on a customized microglass slide from each of the composite materials and immersed in 20 ml of distilled water followed by incubation at 37°C for 24 h. The samples were divided into three groups ( = 10) - Group I: A nanofilled composite, Filtek Z350XT (3M ESPE, St.

Effect of Preoperative Corticosteroids in Patients with Symptomatic Pulpitis on Postoperative Pain after Single-visit Root Canal Treatment: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Introduction: This study addressed the following population, intervention, comparator, outcome, timing, study design and setting question: in patients with preoperative pain who undergo single-visit nonsurgical endodontic treatment, what is the comparative efficacy of corticosteroids compared with other analgesics or placebo in reducing postoperative pain and the incidence of adverse events.

Methods: Database/electronic searches were conducted using the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Cochrane databases to identify published articles using included key words in various combinations. Manual searching of articles was performed, and the Clinicaltrials.
