OBJECTIVE To assess the labial and lingual alveolar bone thickness in adults with maxillary central incisors of different inclination by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). METHODS Ninety maxillary central incisors from 45 patients were divided into three groups based on the maxillary central incisors to palatal plane angle; lingual-inclined, normal, and labial-inclined. Reformatted CBCT im...

BACKGROUND Controlled, uniformly tapered radicular preparation is a great challenge in endodontics. Improper preparation can lead to procedural errors like transportation of foramen, uneven dentine thickness, stripping of root canal, formation of ledge, zip, and elbow in curved canals. These procedural errors and their sequel can adversely affect the prognosis of treatment. AIM/OBJECTIVES The...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the antibacterial depth effect of continuous wave laser irradiation with a wavelength of 980 nm in the root canal wall dentin of bovine teeth. BACKGROUND DATA The long-term success of an endodontic therapy often fails due to remaining bacteria in the root canal or dentin tubules, which cannot be sufficiently eliminated through the cl...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to clinically assess the capacity of a novel bovine pericardium based, non-cross linked collagen matrix in root coverage. METHODS 62 gingival recessions of Miller class I or II were treated. The matrix was adapted underneath a coronal repositioned split thickness flap. Clinical values were assessed at baseline and after six months. RESULTS The mean rec...

This study correlated the morphological characteristics with the bond strengths of various resin cements used for bonding fiber posts to root canal dentin. Fifty glass-fiber posts (FRC Postec Plus) were luted into the root canals of extracted human anterior teeth using five resin cements (n = 10): Panavia F 2.0, PermaFlo DC, Variolink II, RelyX Unicem, and Clearfil Core. Before insertion of the...

statement of the problem: endodontic surgery if required is considered as an additive therapy after classic endodontic treatments. the most prevalent type of endodontic surgeries are apicoectomy and corrective surgeries. type of material applied in apicoectomies is of high importance. root end filling material should not only be biocompatible but also provide appropriate seal. considering these...

Setting of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is affected by various factors. The purpose this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence root canal wall thickness on mechanical properties MTA along whole apical plug. Bovine bone mold tubes with internal diameter 2 mm, height 5 and 0.8 1.2 1.6 mm were filled 3 ProRoot kept 37 °C relative humidity 100% for 7 days. indentation hardness reduced mo...

the research has been done for assessment of effects of different concentrations of indole-3-butyric acid (iba) on rhizogenesis of scions of c. phlomidis in 2010.  the research has been done on randomized complete-blocks for five replications and three treatments with zero, 2000ppm and 3000pmm concentration. different characters such as number of root of each scion, length of root, length of ne...

Root anatomical responses to water deficit are diverse and regulation of water uptake strongly depends on plant anatomy. The ancestors of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivars are the wild common beans. Because wild beans adapt and survive well in the natural environment, it is hypothesized that wild common bean roots are less affected than those of domesticated beans at low substrate w...
