Nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) instruments are widely used in adult endodontics as an efficient technique, but are rarely used for endodontic treatment for primary molars. To explore the feasibility of using Ni-Ti rotary instruments for root canal preparation in primary molars, 51 primary molars with intact root apex in 22 children, who ranged in age from 3.2 years to 7.7 years, were treated. A modifi...

This clinical trial focused on collating the instrumentation time and quality of root canal obturation in primary molars treated with three techniques: adaptive, rotary, manual. A triple-armed, randomized controlled was performed 75 requiring pulpectomy treatment, divided into groups (n = 25 per group). The teeth Group 1 were instrumented an adaptive technique (XP-endo Shaper, FKG Dentaire, La ...

background and aims. streptococcus mutans is an important species in oral microflora and its components have been found to stimulate production of proinflammatory cytokines in dental caries. the aim of this study was to evaluate proin-flammatory cytokines (il-1α and il-6) in patients with s. mutans. materials and methods. seventy samples were selected during pulpectomy and investigated for the ...

Aim: To evaluate and compare the instrumentation time, obturation quality of obturation, clinical radiological success pulpectomized teethfollowing root canal preparation primary molars with rotary manual file system. Methods: A total 150 requiring pulpectomy were selected from children aged four to seven years. These teeth divided into three groups 50 each. In Groups 1, 2, 3, cleaning shaping ...

AIM To compare ibuprofen, to an ibuprofen/acetaminophen combination in managing postoperative pain following root canal treatment. It is hypothesized that the drug combination will provide more postoperative pain relief than the placebo or ibuprofen alone. METHODOLOGY Patients presenting at the Texas A&M Baylor College of Dentistry's graduate endodontic clinic, experiencing moderate to severe...
