Abstract Background A few reports have shown that unilateral transverse process-pedicle percutaneous kyphoplasty is a good choice for patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). However, this issue remains controversial and the related comprehensive research was lacked. Methods retrospective study conducted on receiving PKP surgery OVCF. Patients were divided into three gr...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to identify the pulpal findings encountered by practitioners when accessing complete-coverage crowns that require nonsurgical root canal treatment and the relevance of coronal leakage to the success of the RTC. METHOD AND MATERIALS The survey package consisted of a cover letter stating the instructions, rationale, and purpose for the questionnaire, a qu...

INTRODUCTION Antimicrobial activity of interappointment intracanal medications is an important consideration in endodontics. Considering the fact that calcium hydroxide (CH) cannot sterilize the root canal system, completing its antimicrobial spectrum seems necessary. The aim of this study was to compare the antibacterial activity of CH combined with three different vehicles in root canal syste...

This ex vivo study compared saliva coronal microleakage in root canals filled with Resilon/Epiphany Self-Etch (SE) system after final irrigation with different solutions. A total of 60 extracted single-rooted human teeth were instrumented using Mtwo Ni-Ti rotary instruments and divided into two experimental groups (n = 20 each) and positive and negative control groups (n = 10 each). The canals ...

PURPOSE To investigate the sealing properties of root fillings with resin-coated gutta-percha cones and a methacrylate-based resin endodontic sealer with and without an accelerator component in root canals subjected to immediate or delayed post space preparation. METHODS Forty-eight extracted human teeth with single straight root canals were treated endodontically. Specimens were then assigne...

Aim: To comparatively evaluate various Intra-Orifice barriers (IOB) namely; Cention N (Ivoclar Vivadent), Biodentine (Septodont), Light Cured GIC (GC Gold Label 2LC) and Tetric Flow Vivadent) for their effects on the microleakage of endodontically treated teeth.
 Study Design: In-vitro study.
