Aim To review on various pulp protecting agents in endodontics and analyse the uses, purposes, standard and recent advancement

With the appearance of more in vivo and ex vivo publications, methacrylate based resin sealers are becoming more popular in endodontics. Their ease of use and favorable clinical performance offer an attractive alternative to conventional endodontics. This article reviews the development of resin-based sealers and biocompatibility tests. The many, mostly opposing views are analyzed to put what h...

Endodontic treatment of a tooth in its present state offers a high degree of success for most cases, but it leaves the tooth in a physiologically “dead” state. Regenerative endodontics is an emerging field which is trying to regenerate natural tissues associated with the tooth generated by nature. This article reviews the present status of regenerative endodontics, why is it important to regene...

Endodontics is currently in the midst of its own revolution. After this discipline is recognized as a specialty, the technological advances were made routinely. The advent of Nickle titanium files, rotary instrumentation, radiovisiography, endoscope and clinical microscope have changed the way in which the endodontics is practiced. This progress has increased both productivity and quality of ca...

Caries is the most common cause of pulp-periapical disease. When the pulp tissue involved in caries becomes irreversibly inflamed and progresses to necrosis, the treatment option is root canal therapy because the infected or non-infected necrotic pulp tissue in the root canal system is not accessible to the host's innate and adaptive immune defense mechanisms and antimicrobial agents. Therefore...

Introduction: Both Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) and Portland cement (PC) have been highlighted because of their favorable biological properties, with extensive applications in Endodontics, including the possibility of using into root canal filling. Objective: This article reviews literature related to MTA and PC comparing their physical, chemical and biological properties, as well as their ...

Regenerative endodontics is a new concept for the management of permanent immature teeth with necrotic pulps. This procedure enables to replace damaged dentine and pulp-dentin complex within root structure healthy tissue. Firstly, elimination clinical symptoms infection then, thickening canal walls continuing maturation finally filled host’s own vital tissue are main goals regenerative endodont...

Introduction The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence reporting confidence intervals (CIs) in clinical trials endodontics and discover any further associations with a range publication characteristics. Methods electronic contents 3 leading endodontic journals highest impact factors (International Endodontic Journal, Journal Endodontics, Australian Journal) were assessed from January 2...
