Objective: To compare the effect of different endodontic irrigants on microleakage of adhesives used within pulp chamber of primary molars.
Study Design: 72 Primary molars were divided into 6 groups, according to 3 irrigants and 2 adhesives used. After de-roofing the pulp chamber, pulp was extirpated. In 36 samples, pulp chambers were bonded with Xeno V after irrigation with either QMix (Group1); 17%EDTA+5%NaOCl (Group2) or normal saline (Group3) and in other half samples, pulp chambers were bonded with SinglebondUniversal after irrigation with either QMix (Group 4); 17%EDTA+5% NaOCl (Group5) or normal saline (Group 6). All the samples were restored with Filtek Z350. Ten teeth from each group were assessed for dye penetration. Two samples in each group were viewed under scanning electron microscope. Data was statistically analyzed using Mann-Whitney and Kruskal Wallis tests at a significance level of P < 0.05.
Results: Mean microleakage scores were: Group 1-1.5±0.70, Group 2-1.6±.51, Group 3-2.4±0.96, Group 4-1.2±0.42, Group 5-1.2±0.42, Group 6-1.1±0.32.
Conclusions: Irrigation with QMix significantly reduced the microleakage of XenoV but had no significant effect on microleakage of SinglebondUniversal. Irrigation with EDTA/NaOCl or QMix had no detrimental effect on the sealing ability of either of the adhesive tested.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the number of roots and type of root canals in maxillary first and second premolars within a selected Korean population utilizing cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Additionally, it sought to investigate potential differences in these features according to sex and tooth type.
Materials And Methods: CBCT images of 585 maxillary first premolars and 578 maxillary second premolars from 303 patients were retrospectively reviewed.

BACKGROUND This cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) endodontics study aimed to compare the canal-centering ability and canal transportation of Edgefile X7 and HyFlex EDM files in moderately curved mesiobuccal (MB) root canals of 30 mandibular first permanent molar teeth. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty permanent mandibular first molars with 10° and 24° of mesial root curvature were selected and scanned with CBCT. Two experimental groups of 15 each were made: group I: HyFlex EDM, and group II: Edgefile X7.

Background: The working length determination is necessary before root canal shaping, chemical cleaning, disinfection, and obturation in pulpectomy of primary dentition. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of Wirele-X and compare it with DentaPort ZX and Woodpex III in primary molar teeth.
Methods: The in vitro study was performed by using 30 extracted primary mandibular molar teeth.

Tusks are ever-growing teeth present in mammals of the clade Paenungulata. Unlike the perpetually growing incisors of rodents, tusks are not used in mastication, and in at least some paenungulatans, the tusk is composed of dentin alone in adults. Few studies have provided tissue-level information on tusks of adult paenungulatans with embedding techniques that identify epithelial and other soft tissues.

Background: Regenerative endodontics' primary objective is to establish a favorable environment in the root canal by removing infection, providing a sturdy scaffold, and sealing the apical end of the tooth tightly. These actions should promote pulp regeneration and root development.
Aim: This study evaluated histologically the regenerative potential of injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel or collagen with blood clot as scaffolds during revascularization of immature necrotic dog's teeth.
