AIM To analyse the healing response to gutta-percha and Diaket when used as root-end filling materials in periradicular surgery. METHODOLOGY Periradicular surgery was completed using the mandibular second, third and fourth premolar teeth from nine male mongrel dogs. The six roots on one side of the mouth were randomly allocated to one of the following groups: group A: a resected root end and ...

The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of topical treatment with doxycycline and/or the application of unfilled resin to the anatomical crown on the occurrence of revascularization in reimplanted dog teeth. Ninety-six teeth in 4 young mongrel dogs were used. Eighty one teeth were atraumatically extracted and divided into four groups. Group 1, 17 teeth were kept dry for 5 m...

Peridural fibrosis is a major obstacle for a successful spinal surgery. The most common surgical method used for the treatment of spinal disorder is Lumbar discectomy. After the initial surgical intervention, approximately 20% of patients will undergo revision surgery within 5 years. The common attributes of surgical failure after performing lumbar discectomy are peridural, epidural and perineu...

this case report represents the outcome of endodontic treatment in an infected mandibular molar with periradicular periodontitis and inherent poor prognosis of root canal treatment due to severe root curvature. the tooth was successfully treated by leaving the mesial root non-obturated, the canal orifices were coronally sealed with calcium enriched mixture cement and a definitive coronal amalga...

PURPOSE Radiographic features in patients with bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) are well described, but less is known in bisphosphonate-exposed individuals with stage 0 disease (clinical symptoms without exposed necrotic bone) considered at risk for BRONJ. We sought to characterize radiographic findings in a subgroup of patients with concerning clinical symptoms and bisph...

reatment of molar radicular cysts is challenging and many olars may be removed if endodontic treatment is unsucessful. Conventional periradicular surgery of molars is not lways done, because of the technical difficulties and poor isualisation. Endoscopic periradicular surgery (EPS) has een introduced to avoid having to remove molars.1–3 If lling of the root canal is insufficient, we use EPS aft...
