Article Synopsis
- The study compared bone fragment size and shape produced by ultrasonic and traditional drilling methods during implant site preparation.
- The experiment involved rib samples divided into two groups, with one undergoing ultrasonic preparation and the other using standard drills, both to a depth of 10 mm.
- Results showed that the ultrasonic technique created smaller, finer bone debris and less overall debris, which could promote better osseointegration compared to the larger, fractured fragments from the drilling method.
Aim: This retrospective study explored survival and periapical healing outcomes in teeth root filled with Thermafil obturators.
Methodology: Root canals of 213 teeth (94 subjects, mean age 48 ± 13 years), instrumented with a step-down technique, irrigated with 5% NaOCl and 10% EDTA and filled with Thermafil and AH Plus sealer, were involved in a recall programme. Teeth were retrospectively re-examined after 5 ± 1 years in a controlled environment.
