Quest for newer material are never ending especially in the field of dental science. Various materials have been formulated, tested, and standardised to obtain maximum benefits for good clinical performance .One such new material which was introduced is Biodentine which has numerous clinical applications. An ideal orthograde or retrograde filling material should seal the pathways of communicati...

Progressive aortic root dilatation is a common feature after surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot. This report describes a successful valve-sparing replacement of the aortic root in a patient with significant dilated aortic root and aortic regurgitation after repair of tetralogy of Fallot.

Tricalcium silicate-based materials are growing in popularity for dental procedures. This study reports the physical properties of two experimental tricalcium silicate-based Generex A and B materials. Generex A is designed for vital dental pulp therapy, the repair of root perforations, or to seal a resected root apex. Generex B is designed for nonsurgical root canal procedures as a sealant. ADA...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of autologous platelet concentrates (APCs) in promoting pulp and dentin regeneration in animal models. METHODS An electronic search was performed on MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, SciELO, LILACS, and CENTRAL. Animal studies using APC as a root filling material after pulpectomy in mature or immature teeth were included. Article...

The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between root resorption and repair in human premolars that had been orthodontically intruded. The objective was to examine these processes related to time and root development. Seventy-six premolars were divided into subgroups: 33 teeth were intruded and then extracted (G1); 25 teeth were intruded and then left in situ for varying per...

A root perforation is a mechanical or pathological communication formed between the supporting periodontal apparatus of the tooth and the root canal system. Three broad categories of etiological factors exist and these are procedural mishaps, resorption and caries. The diagnosis, management and repair of root perforations require skill and creative thinking. Unfortunately, much of what has been...

Although it is known that different types of nerve root insults can produce radicular pain, it is not known whether the neuronal and Schwann cell pathologies in the nerve root vary between inflammation-induced nerve root injury and traumatic compression. This study examined the extent of Wallerian degeneration and associated cellular repair processes in the nerve root in the context of mechanic...

introduction: endodontic treatment in pulpless immature teeth is challenging due to the lack of an apical stop. insertion of an apical plug is an alternative to conventional long-term apexification with calcium hydroxide. the aim of this study was to compare the apical microleakage of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) and calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement as apical plugs with three different...
