Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate canal transportation and centering ability ratio 2 single Ni-Ti instruments; one shape wave gold using Cone Beam Computed Tomography scanning (CBCTs). Materials Methods: Forty mesiobuccal canals human mandibular first molars with a curvature angle that ranges from 15° 35° were divided into groups based on the type instrument used prepare canal. Gro...

introduction: the ideal endodontic treatment for the teeth with in complete root-ends and necrotic pulps may involve the use of material which forms an immediate apical barrier instead of long term calcium hydroxide therapy. such procedure may lead us to a single appointment endodontic treatment. the purpose of the present study was to evaluate clinical and radiographic success rate in necrotic...

introduction : the aim of this study was to examine and compare the apical sealing ability of ah26, ah plus and ah plus jet using a fluid filtration model. materials and methods : 70 single-rooted teeth were dissected from the cement-enamel junction. canals were prepared with protaper rotary system and manual k files and irrigated with 5.25% naocl and 17% edta. ten teeth were assigned as contro...

introduction: adequate root canal seal following retreatment is essential for a successful outcome. resilon/epiphany (r/e) obturation system has been introduced as a substitute for conventional gutta-percha/sealer method. this in vitro study compared the amount of apical microleakage of r/e with gutta-percha/ah26 (gp/ah26) sealer as secondary root canal filling following retreatment in human te...

Creating and maintaining cell polarity are complex processes that are not fully understood. Fungal hyphal tip growth is a highly polarized and dynamic process involving both F-actin and microtubules (MTs), but the behaviour and roles of the latter are unclear. To address this issue, MT dynamics and subunit distribution were analysed in a strain of Aspergillus nidulans expressing GFP-alpha-tubul...

instrument breakage during treatment can lead to serious complications and carries the risk of treatment failure. when a file breaks in the canal, bypassing or removal can be difficult and the long-term prognosis of the tooth may be compromised. sometimes surgery may be indicated for removal of the broken segment. often some part of the root cannot be cleaned because of blockage by the broken f...
