Introduction: In teeth with incomplete rhizogenesis, the canal is frustoconical and broad, foramen absent. The disinfection obturation protocol must be adapted to keep treatment within root limits. Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) performs an apexification by creating a hard tissue barrier cement deposits, it not toxic periradicular tissues. Hypoplasia quantitative enamel defect caused heredita...

Background: One of the important materials needed for root treatment is sealers. They fill space between gutta and canal walls create a suitable seal to prevent colonization oral microorganisms in peri-apical tissues inside space. Aim: The aim this study was prepare test cell biocompatibility new polycaprolactone-based endodontics sealer comparison AH plus against dental pulp stem cells. Method...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of exposure of the mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) - with and without calcium chloride (CaCl2) - to phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) on the apical microleakage using a glucose leakage system. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty root segments were randomly divided into 4 experimental groups (n=15). After resecting the apical segments and enl...

The emergence of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) as endodontic repair filling material has generated a lot of interest due to its superior sealing ability and biocompatibility. Although MTA possesses superior sealing ability to traditional endodontic repair filling materials, such as calcium hydroxide, but it has poor handling characteristics. A novel endodontic repair filling materials with s...

The sealing of the root canal system is of fundamental importance for successful endodontic treatment. To obtain an adequate apical seal, many factors must be considered such as the presence of smear layer and the sealer applied. After canal preparation, this layer must be removed because it prevents close contact between the dentinal walls and the sealing material. The goal of this study was t...

Many materials have been introduced for apexification each having their own advantages and disadvantages. This case report aims to present a new method of apexification using a combination of deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) and enamel matrix derivative (EMD). After irrigating the canal of the maxillary right canine with 2.5 % sodium hypochlorite, a mixture of Bio-Oss and EMD was packed...

Tall (inner) hair cells were isolated from specific locations in the chick cochlea. The electrical membrane properties of these cells were recorded using the tight-seal whole-cell technique. Depolarizing current steps elicited damped voltage oscillations that ranged in frequency from 100 to 250 Hz among cells from the middle third of the cochlea (basal cells). The current-voltage relation obtai...

Procedure Following nonsurgical root canal treatment, a post space is created in the root canal by careful removal of the coronal canal obturating material. A sufficient amount of material must be retained in the apical portion of the canal to maintain an adequate apical seal. A custom or proprietary post is fitted and cemented into the root canal for core retention. The post should be passivel...
