The authors studied, in vitro, by light microscopy and by morphometric analysis, the cleaning capacity of Dakin's solution, water and Tergentol, when used as auxiliary solutions to ultrasonic instrumentation of root canals. After irrigation and instrumentation, 15 extracted human mandibular incisors, with a single root and with only one canal, were submitted to routine histological processing with serial 6-microns sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The results showed that Dakin's solution energized by ultrasound leaves root canals with less debris than Tergentol; water falls into an intermediate position. The apical third showed more debris than the middle third, and none of the irrigating solutions left the root canals free of debris.

Background Fracture of nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) instruments in root canals is commonly associated with compromised outcomes in endodontic treatment. There is no single, universally accepted approach for managing this complication. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an Nd: YAP laser-assisted protocol in removing fractured Ni-Ti files in teeth with minimal root curvature (less than 15 degrees).

Aim: This study aims to analyze the root canal configuration system of mandibular first premolars in the Bengali subpopulation using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Materials And Methods: Based on Vertucci's classification, the root canal morphology of 100 randomly selected mandibular first premolars in 56 males and 44 females from the Bengali subpopulation of West Bengal was assessed in vitro. The location of the apical foramen, lateral canal, C-shaped canal, types of canal orifice cross-sections, minor constriction diameter, tooth length, and root length were noted.

Purpose: Restoring ferrule-lacking, noncircular canal endodontically treated teeth (ETT) poses challenges owing to the increased susceptibility to root fracture and post dislodgement. We aimed to evaluate the influence of different post and core materials on the stress distribution and maximum Von Mises stress in ETT.

Methods: Four three-dimensional models were generated using different customized post and core materials: gold alloy, resin nanoceramic, polyetheretherketone (PEEK), and polyetherketoneketone (PEKK).

The preservation of the original configurations of root canals during endodontic preparation is crucial for treatment success. Nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary systems have been refined to optimize canal shaping while minimizing iatrogenic errors. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the shaping efficacy of the novel R-Motion (RM) and the established WaveOne Gold (WG) systems using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT).

Prevalence and root canal morphology of taurodontism analyzed by cone-beam computed tomography in Northern China.

BMC Oral Health

January 2025

Department of Endodontics, Beijing Stomatological Hospital, Capital Medical University, Tian Tan Xi Li No.4, Beijing, 100050, China.

Background: To evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of taurodontism in northern China by using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and assisting the treatment.

Methods: The study involved CBCT scans of 8112 teeth from 507 participants of northern China, comprising 217 males and 290 females aged 18 to 60. Analysis was conducted using Shifman and Chanannel's criteria to assess the prevalence and attributes of taurodontism, examining differences based on tooth position (maxilla and mandible) as well as gender (P < 0.
