Effect of Dentin Contamination with Hemostatic Agents and Cleaning Techniques on Bonding with Self-Adhesive Resin Cement.

BACKGROUND Dentin contamination with hemostatic agents before bonding indirect restorations negatively affects the bond strength. However, the consensus on which materials could be used to clean contamination of hemostatic agents has not been explored. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of Katana Cleaner applied on the surface of dentin contaminated with hemostatic agents on the shear bond strength (SBS) of self-adhesive resin cement by comparing it with three other surface cleaners.

Prevalence of Endodontically Treated Premolars and Molars With Untreated Canals and Their Association With Apical Periodontitis Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography.

Background This retrospective study evaluated the prevalence of untreated canals in root-canal-treated maxillary and mandibular posterior teeth and their association with apical periodontitis (AP) in a Saudi Arabian population. This study is based on a radiographic examination of scans taken using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methodology The study comprised CBCT scans obtained from 300 individuals (150 women and 150 men) aged 18 to 80 years.

The C-shaped Canal System in Mandibular Molars of a Saudi Arabian Population: Prevalence and Root Canal Configurations Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography.

Objectives: This retrospective study aimed to assess the prevalence of the C-shaped canal system in mandibular first and second molars in a Saudi Arabian population using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Materials And Methods: The sample included 300 CBCT images from adults aged 18 to 80 years (38.7 ± 17.

The Prevalence and Location of the Second Mesiobuccal Canals in Maxillary First and Second Molars Assessed by Cone-Beam Computed Tomography.

Objective This retrospective study aimed to investigate the prevalence and location of the second mesiobuccal (MB2) canal in the mesiobuccal root of the maxillary first molar (MFM) and the maxillary second molar (MSM) through cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. Methods One thousand two hundred CBCT images of the MFM and MSM were divided equally and analyzed. To standardize the methodology of MB2 detection, the observation and measurements were located at the pulpal floor by 1 mm apically.

Characterization of the differential efficacy of austenitic vs martensitic NiTi rotary files in non-surgical root canal retreatment: a micro-CT analysis.

: Our study aims to characterize the differential efficacy of martensitic and austenitic files in root canal retreatment regarding defiling ability, debris management and morphometric features. : A total of 10 human premolar teeth with two separate fully formed roots were selected, prepared with BioRace system (BR) up to a size BR2 (0.04/25).
