Effect of Finisher Gentlefile brush, XP-endo Finisher and ultrasonic irrigation for the removal of calcium hydroxide paste from root canal.

Eliminating residual calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)] intracanal medicament from the walls of a root canal presents a persistent obstacle that can impede the establishment of a proper fluid-tight seal during obturation. The effective removal of these medicaments from the canal walls has consistently posed a significant challenge. Consequently, several systems have been developed and assessed in order to address this issue.

Factors influencing the occurrence and progress of sodium hypochlorite accident: A narrative and update review.

Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is one of the most commonly used irrigant because of its several advantages. However, it is highly cytotoxic and can lead to severe tissue damage. NaOCl accident occurs when it is extruded beyond root confines into periapical or periradicular tissues.

Using a syringe needle to cut dentin and dislodge and remove a metallic obstruction from the root canal.

A metallic obstruction in the canal orifice of a maxillary right canine could not be bypassed during endodontic treatment. Aids such as ultrasonics and retrieval kits were not available for the removal of the obstruction. Therefore, a novel approach using a disposable syringe needle was employed.

Comparative evaluation of the calcium release from mineral trioxide aggregate and its mixture with glass ionomer cement in different proportions and time intervals - An in vitro study.

Background: Addition of glass ionomer cement (GIC) has been suggested to improve the setting time and handling characteristics of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). This study evaluated the effect of adding GIC to MTA in terms of calcium release, an issue that has not been previously studied.

Materials And Methods: The study comprised four groups with five samples each: a control group of MTA alone and experimental groups I (1MTA:1GIC), II (2MTA:1GIC), and III (1MTA:2GIC) based on the mixture of MTA and GIC powders in the respective proportions by volume.

Medication-related dental erosion: a review.

Dental erosion has become a major problem that affects the long-term health of the dentition. Among the various potential causes for erosive tooth wear, the different drugs prescribed for patients may be overlooked. Several therapeutic medications can directly or indirectly be associated with dental erosion.

Effect of calcium hydroxide and triple antibiotic paste as intracanal medicaments on the incidence of inter-appointment flare-up in diabetic patients: An in vivo study.

Aim: To evaluate and compare the effect of antibacterial intracanal medicaments on inter-appointment flare-up in diabetic patients.

Materials And Methods: Fifty diabetic patients requiring root canal treatment were assigned into groups I, II, and III. In group I, no intracanal medicament was placed.

Retrieval of a metallic obstruction from the root canal of a premolar using Masserann technique.

A metallic obstruction in the root canal blocks canal cleaning and shaping procedures and requires either bypassing or retrieval. Many methods have been recommended to retrieve a metallic obstruction from the root canal. This article describes the retrieval of a metallic obstruction from the root canal of a premolar using Masserann technique to facilitate endodontic retreatment.
