objective: pulp regeneration within the root canal of necrotic teeth is considered an ideal treatment to allow for continued root development and recover teeth vitality. this study aims to evaluate the inductive effect of platelet-rich plasma (prp) on expression of angiogenesis factors and pulpal revascularization of immature necrotic teeth. materials and methods: in this experimental animal st...

introduction: acute pain and swelling following endodontic treatment are challenges for patients and dentists. according to previous studies, the incidence of flare-ups increases after endodontic treatment of teeth with necrotic pulp. calcium hydroxide is currently used as a multipotential medicament in root canal therapy. the aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence and severity of flar...

PURPOSE To provide an overview of the clinical features, diagnosis, classification and management of cracked teeth which may be a diagnostic challenge in clinical practice.

Teeth with pulp necrosis, whether or not periapical abnormalities, may be indicated for root canal treatment. Root treatment is a carried out the aim of removing infected dental tissue, necrotic debris, and microorganisms. It aims to make sterile can filled filling material so that hermetic density obtained in apical area. consists three main stages (Triad Endodontics). The endodontic triad pre...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the ability of thermal and electrical tests to register pulp vitality. Sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value were calculated by comparing the test results with a "gold standard". The thermal tests studied were a cold test (ethyl chloride) and a heat test (hot gutta-percha). For the electrical test, the Anal...
