Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess bacterial leakage of a mixed anaerobic community of organisms in obturated canals after post space preparation.
Study Design: A mixed microbial community of strict anaerobic organisms (F. nucleatum, P. micros and C. rectus) was developed. With the use of an in vitro model system, coronal leakage was assessed in 40 anterior teeth after obturation and post space preparation. The specific leakage time in days for each organism to penetrate through the obturating material was determined. In addition, colonization of the apical canal space was assessed by scanning electron microscope after longitudinal splitting of randomly selected specimens.
Results: Eighty percent of the teeth demonstrated coronal leakage of F. nucleatum and C. rectus by the 90 day interval. Bacterial penetration occurred from 48 days to 84 days. Scanning electron microscope examination showed a heterogeneous biofilm of coccal and bacillary species colonizing the apical portion of the canal wall.
Conclusions: This study demonstrated that coronal leakage phenomena do occur after loss of coronal seals. The model system developed using mixed, anaerobic bacterial cultures is more clinically relevant and may be used to assess bacterial penetration through gutta percha obturation.

Assessing correlation between different temporary restorative materials for microleakage following endodontic treatment: an in-vitro study.

Background: Coronal microleakage, the passage of fluids and bacteria through the interface between the temporary restoration and the tooth structure, can potentially result in endodontic treatment failure.
Purpose: This study evaluated and compared the sealing efficacy of various temporary restorative materials utilized during endodontic procedures.
Methods: All seventy premolar teeth were extracted, measured, and restored, except for the negative control group, where the teeth were left whole.
Aim: Bicoronal incision and bifrontal craniotomy are commonly used for resecting large (4-6 cm) or giant ( 6cm) olfactory groove meningiomas (OGMs). Although the bifrontal approach provides good bilateral visual access to the anterior cranial fossa, it is associated with the risk of injury to the frontal bridging veins and superior sagittal sinus, infection, and CSF leakage due to the frontal sinus neighborhood.
Material And Methods: This was a retrospective review of 16patients (nine men and seven women) with large and giant OGMs operated through unilateral extended pterional craniotomy between 2010 and 2022.
In Vitro Microscopical and Microbiological Assessment of the Sealing Ability of Calcium Silicate-Based Root Canal Sealers.

This in vitro study evaluated the sealing ability and microleakage of calcium silicate-based sealers compared to an epoxy resin-based sealer. One hundred twenty-five roots from anterior teeth were chemo-mechanically prepared and divided into four groups: AH Plus (AH), ProRoot MTA (PR), Medcem MTA (MC), and Total Fill BC Sealer/BC-coated gutta-percha (TF); = 30. Confocal laser scanning microscopy was used to measure sealer penetration at three horizontal levels in 10 roots per group, while glucose leakage over 30 days was assessed in 20 roots.

Context: Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) is a calcium silicate-based cement that potentially exhibits improved washout resistance when carboxymethyl chitosan or gelatin is incorporated. Gel-form MTA is a novel mineral trioxide aggregate formulated using construction industry-based technology. The present study was conducted to comparatively evaluate the sealing ability and adaptation to dentinal walls of gel-form MTA.

Introduction: Endodontic therapy has been regarded as a safe treatment option with highly promising results in preserving natural teeth. Numerous factors may influence the longevity of endodontically treated teeth (ETT), thus altering their success/survival rate. This study aimed to determine the survival and success rates of endodontically treated premolars and molars with different complex restorative/prosthodontic treatments.
