Blended learning (BL) is the integration of classroom learning with an online environment. The purpose of this study was to determine whether dental students who experienced BL in a preclinical endodontic course demonstrated better manual skills, conceptual knowledge, and learning experience compared to those experiencing traditional learning. All eighty-one students (100 percent) in a preclini...

INTRODUCTION Post-operative pain and flare-up may occur in up to 58% of patients following root canal treatment. The aim was to conduct a systematic review and a possible meta-analysis to determine the effect of glucocorticosteroid (GCS) on pain following root canal treatment. METHODS AND MATERIALS Scopus, MEDLINE and CENTRAL databases were searched up to 30th January 2017 with broad key word...

PURPOSE To assess the retention of glass fiber post cemented with self-adhesive resin cement into optimum and over-prepared root canals following obturation in the presence of either eugenol (EB) or calcium hydroxide (CB)-based sealers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Roots of extracted premolars were endodontically-treated in 5 groups (n = 10). Roots of Group 1 (control) were left with no obturation a...

Traumatized anterior teeth require quick functional and esthetic repair. Tooth fragment reattachment is a simple and conservative clinical procedure to restore fractured anterior teeth. Different techniques of reattachment include enamel beveling, "v-" shaped internal enamel and dentin grooves, external chamfer, over contouring, and by placing fiber post, all of which were invasive methods. Thi...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Progress in endodontic techniques and methodological advances have altered root canal therapy over the last decades. These techniques and methods need periodical documentation. This observational study determined the current prevalence of endodontic treatments, and investigated the relationship of various factors with the periapical status in a Lower Austrian subpopulation....

statement of problem: failure of endodontic treatment is determined on the basis of radiographic findings and clinical signs and/ or symptoms of the treated teeth. purpose: the purpose of this study was to determine endodontic treatment failure in relation to various factors influencing it in teeth with periapical lesions (clinically and radiographically). materials and methods: teeth which had...

introduction : as the result of epidemiological transition and aging of iranian population, the frequencies of systemic diseases among patients in of need endodontic treatment has increased, especially within developed cities. however, there have been no concise reports of systemic diseases in iranian patients. based on this need, the present investigation was conducted to assess the frequency ...

Aim: To evaluate the strength of an endodontically treated tooth after preservation of peri-cervical dentin and soffit. Methodology: 30 human molars having well developed cusps and morphology were extracted for periodontal reasons were included in this study. They were divided in two groups. In gp. A, ClarkKhademi access was made and endodontic treatment was carried out with 2% NiTi K-files and...

abstract: cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) has been accepted as a useful tool for diagnosis and treatment in endodontics. despite a growing trend toward using cbct in endodontic practice the cbct images should be interpreted carefully. this case report presents a case that showed radiolucency inside and around a tooth which was free of pathologic changes under a dental operative microscope ...
