The primary purposes of this study were to compare the quality (length and density) and efficiency (time to completion) of obturation when single- or multiple-cone obturation techniques were used by graduating dental school students on previously instrumented single-canalled teeth using simulated clinical conditions in vitro. Five students took part in the study, each of whom obturated thirty-s...

This case report presents a 32 year old male with an oblique fractured maxillary right central incisor. The procedure used to repair the fracture included flap surgery with an intrasulcular incision and endodontic treatment. The root canal was filled with a root canal sealer and gutta-percha. After root canal obturation, fragments were luted with composite resin using a glass fibers post. After...

conclusions it is required to consider the strategies during student education in dental schools for both under and post-graduation dental students and better to follow them in workshops for other dentists and even endodontists. results the most stressful stage of root canal therapy was endodontic treatment for children in male endodontists and residents, preparing access cavity on crowns in fe...

It is common knowledge that materials used in endodontics may cause discoloration and thus impair the aesthetic outcome of the treated tooth. The purpose of this review is to summarise the existing knowledge on the discoloration potential of materials used for endodontic procedures. A comprehensive literature search covering the period from 1966 to 2011 was conducted on Pubmed and the Cochrane ...

OBJECTIVE To analyze a new endodontic sealer material commercially known as Resilon and to describe in detail the experimental techniques employed that lead to the identification of the composite material. METHODS An extensive structural, thermal, and physical characterization was used to identify a new endodontic sealer material using the following techniques: Fourier transform infrared (FTI...

Clinicians need to have the ability to predict the prognosis of endodontic treatment to make informed decisions on treatment options. The prognosis of initial endodontic treatment is reported to be very favorable with high healing rates; however, several variables have been identified as possible contributors to decrease healing in previous research. Objective: To determine the outcome of initi...

Endodontics as a field of dentistry has made giant leaps in the past two to three decades. Pioneering technological advancements include magnification, innovative material science, designs and techniques for instrumentation and obturation of the root canal systems. Contrary to this ascent in endodontic material, technique, and equipment innovations, a number of treatment outcome data reveal no ...

Aim: To measure layer thickness of 5 endodontic sealers and evaluate sealer distribution and adaptation of thermafil and sealer within root canals. Material and Methods: 20 single-rooted teeth divided into 5 groups were prepared in the crown-down technique. Smear layer was removed and root canals were obturated with Thermafil and 1 of 5 different endodontic sealers: AH Plus, Tubliseal, Acroseal...

background: endodontic leakage research focus mainly on the quality of the apical seal of the root canal system and the newly introduced resilon/epiphany system claim to be superior to gutta-percha in respect to obturation procedure. the aim of this study is to evaluate the root canal obturation completed by resilon/epiphany system. materials and methods: a total of 42 teeth were selected and w...
