A combined endodontic-periodontal lesion is characterized by the association of endodontic and periodontal infection in same tooth, attacking destroying its attachment system. This complicates therapeutic management because simultaneous control two infections would be inconvenient clinical practice. It therefore essential to sequence stages both treatment. The general objective this article she...

BACKGROUND Irreversible pulpitis is a highly painful inflammatory condition of the dental pulp which represents a common dental emergency. Recommended care is partial endodontic treatment. The dental literature reports major difficulties in achieving adequate analgesia to perform this emergency treatment, especially in the case of mandibular molars. In current practice, short-course, orally adm...

PROCESSING AND APPLICATION OF POLYMERIC BIOMATERIALS: RECENT ADVANCES PERSPECTIVES. Biomaterials have been intensively investigated due to the increase in elderly population and high prevalence of several disorders, such as cardiovascular orthopedic diseases. Polymeric composite polymeric materials combination with different processing techniques, electrospinning, solution blow spinning, ultrat...

abstract: antibiotics are a valuable addition to health practitioners for the management of bacterial infections. during endodontic treatment and when managing trauma to the teeth, antibiotics may be applied systemically or locally. due to the potential risk of adverse effects of systemic applications, and the ineffectiveness of systemic prescribed antibiotics in necrotic or pulpless teeth and ...

The benefits of using sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as endodontic irrigants, and calcium hydroxide as an inter-appointment medicament, are well known to dentists. Many steps undertaken during endodontic treatment and retreatment are rather mechanical in nature, and less attention is committed to understanding the biological issues underlying endodontic t...

Use of an appropriate root canal irrigant is essential during endodontic treatment, due to the complex and unpredictable anatomy of the root canal system and limitations in the mechanical instrumentation techniques used to obtain a clean, bacteria-free canal. Several irrigants, such as sodium hypochlorite, chlorhexidine, hydrogen peroxide, and normal saline, have been proposed as canal system i...

Successful root canal therapy requires a thorough knowledge of root anatomy and root canal morphology which may be quiet variable. The significance of internal root canal morphology has been emphasized by studies demonstrating that variations in canal morphology may affect the endodontic outcome. Consequently, in treating each tooth the clinician must assume that complex anatomy occurs often en...

The purpose of this article was to illustrate an alternative approach to non-surgical management of teeth with failed surgical retreatment. The patient presented with complaint of severe pain after endodontic treatment of the maxillary right lateral and central incisors, which has not been reduce by periradicular surgery. Radiographic examination revealed the poor quality of both the endodontic...
