there is lack of consensus among endodontic specialists about the necessity of tug back. in this regard, we designed a study in which 44 single rooted teeth with closed apex were selected and filed up to file #50. the teeth were obturated with lateral condensation method while in half of them there was not any tug back and in the other half tug back was achieved. apical leakage was assessed by ...

INTRODUCTION Microleakage is of the causes of endodontic treatment failure. The aim of this in vitro study, was to compare the microleakage of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement apical plugs in three environments. METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 130 human extracted single rooted teeth were collected. After decoronation, preparation of the root canal sp...

background: lemon verbena (lippia citriodora h.b.k.) is an aromatic and medicinal plant of family verbenaceae, which cultivated in the north region of iran. objective: this comparative study was carried out on essential oil content and composition of lippia citriodora h.b.k. from micro-propagated and rooted apical stem cutting plantlets. methods: the micro-propagated plantlets were obtained by ...

This in vitro study evaluated the sealing efficacy of three root-filling systems/techniques in preventing bacterial leakage. Instrumented single-rooted root segments were filled with (1) warm vertical compaction with gutta-percha/AH Plus; (2) single-cone technique with ActiV GP; and (3) single-cone technique with Gutta-Flow. A dual-chamber leakage model using S. mutans as a microbial marker was...

introduction: the purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the coronal seal of four temporary filling materials, coltosol, zonalin, zamherir, and intermediate restorative material (irm) by the india ink dye penetration test. materials and methods: endodontic access preparations were prepared in 120 extracted intact human premolars. the teeth were randomly divided into six groups including ...

This study aimed to compare the apical sealing of root-end fillings performed with Lysanda (zinc oxide-eugenol paste) with radiopacifiers (iodoform or zinc oxide) and calcium hydroxide. Root-end cavities were prepared and filled with different materials, as follows: Group I - Lysanda paste with iodoform; Group II - Lysanda paste with iodoform and calcium hydroxide; Group III - Lysanda paste wit...

PURPOSE This study was conducted to evaluate micro-leakage through different furcation repair dental materials which are used to repair iatrogenic perforations in teeth. Six commercially available dental materials high copper amalgam, glass ionomer cements (GIC) Fuji II and Fuji IX, intermediate restorative material (IRM), mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and fully injectable calcium phosphate ...

We developed room-temperature bonding of micro-nanofluidic device using fluorine induced plasma activation method. Fluorine was induced by O2 reactive ion etching (RIE) plasma treatment with Teflon Pieces which increased the bonding strength between fused silica glass substrates. The room-temperature bonded fused silica glass micro-nanofluidic device had high bonding strength as well as could w...
