Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the apical sealing ability of different irrigation regimens (NaOCl, CHX, NS, and MTAD) . Methods: Seventy intact extracted single-rooted human teeth were selected. The roots were resected at 3 mm short of the apical foramen after access preparation. The canals were prepared with profile. This rotary file moved forward into the apical for...

TOPIC: Cardiovascular Disease TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (AHCM) is an uncommon variant of (HCM). Significantly, sudden cardiac death less likely to occur in patients with isolated AHCM, and overall cardiovascular morbidity may be common than other HCM phenotypes. Available outcome studies are insufficiently powered for robust con...

introduction: bacteria and their byproducts are major etiologic factors in endodontic diseases. prevention or reduction of root canal bacterial contamination is the main aim of endodontic treatment. the purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of size and taper of master apical file (maf) in reducing bacteria from the apical third of the curved canals using a quantitative scann...

introduction:  this  in vitro  study compared the apical sealing ability of three common root end filling materials namely mineral trioxide aggregate (mta), intermediate restorative material (irm) and calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement using a bacterial leakage model.  methods and materials: the study was conducted on 83 single-rooted human teeth. tooth crowns were cut and root canals were p...

apexification is a method of inducing apical closure for non-vital immature permanent teeth. during this treatment a mineralized barrier is induced [with long term calcium hydroxide (ch) treatment]; or artificially created [with mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) plug]. this article describes two cases of apexification in immature necrotic teeth treated with these two different techniques. after ...
