The outcome of endodontic treatment using an enhanced infection protocol in specialist practice.

Objectives This study aims to determine the outcome of primary root canal treatment with specific enhanced infection control protocol. The secondary aim was to compare percentages of successful outcomes in this study with a previous study undertaken by the same operator using both periapical radiograph (PR) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).Materials and methods Root canal treatment of 110 teeth in 95 patients carried out by a single operator using an enhanced infection control procedure (disinfection of gutta percha before obturation, changing of gloves after each intraoperative radiograph and also before the start of the root canal obturation).

Diagnosis and Management of Traumatic Dental Injuries Using Intraoral Radiography and Cone-beam Computed Tomography: An In Vivo Investigation.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare periapical radiographs (PRs) and upper standard occlusal (USO) radiographs with cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) imaging on clinicians' confidence in the diagnosis and management of traumatic dental injuries (TDIs).

Methods: This study included 35 maxillary anterior teeth from 25 patients with at least 1 PR (parallax view) and a CBCT scan. Fourteen patients also had a USO radiograph.
