Traumatic tooth injuries are common in children. When permanent teeth are involved, it can be a challenge to save these teeth. This clinical case study describes the multidisciplinary treatment of a complex crown fracture and luxation of a right maxillary incisor along with esthetic management. After periodontal surgery including guided bone regeneration and endodontic treatment, we used a glas...

introduction: post-endodontic treatment pain is a relatively common condition which needs analgesics for patient’s pain relief. low-level laser therapy (lllt) is suggested as a non-pharmacological and non-invasive treatment for dealing with painful conditions. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the pain relief effect of lllt after endodontic treatment. methods: eighty patients randomly r...

Successful management of pain emergencies is a strong component of clinical excellence. Although clinical studies indicate that comparatively few patients experience pain after endodontic procedures, it has been estimated that about 20% of patients experience moderate-to-severe pain after treatment (1, 2, 3). An additional small fraction of patients (about 1– 2%) will experience a sudden ‘flare...

Effective germ elimination during endodontic treatment is absolutely necessary1,2 because treatment failure can often be attributed to the inadequate reduction of germs. The bacterial flora in endodontic infections is related to the flora in the oral cavity and has a bacterial population of between 102 and 107 different germs per infected root canal.3 Since mechanical preparation of the root ca...

AIM To re-examine a population after 20 years and evaluate changes in prevalence of endodontic treatment and apical periodontitis, as well as the technical quality of root fillings. METHODOLOGY One hundred and fifteen out of an original 200 patients living in the northern part of Sweden were re-examined with a full mouth radiographic survey after 20 years. Frequencies of root canal treated te...

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate longitudinal studies effectiveness of treatment of periodontal-endodontic lesions and the influence of periodontal or endodontic procedures through a

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of irrigating solutions commonly used during endodontic treatment on the push-out bond strength of intrarradicular fiber posts to dentin. Thirty single rooted teeth were divided into 3 groups according to the solution used during instrumentation: G1, NaOCL 5.25%; G2, 2% chlorhexidine; G3, distilled water. The root canals were prepared and obtu...

Outcome assessment of endodontic treatment is critical for appropriate case selection and treatment planning. However, reports on outcomes of nonsurgical endodontic treatment vary considerably. Epidemiological studies done in a large patient population and over a long follow-up period can provide the clinician with useful tools for clinical decision-making and assessment of tooth prognosis. In ...

OBJECTIVE Commissioned by the German Institute of Medical Documentation and Information (DIMDI) the Austrian Health Institute (ÖBIG) prepared a HTA report on the long-term effectiveness of endodontic treatment (root canal treatment, RCT) of molars. The focus is to examine factors influencing the outcome of endodontic treatment and showing their impact on long-term results. Additionally, economi...

Accumulation of soft tissue or dentinal remnants in the apical region is a common event that can cause blockage of root canals. This event can be avoided if apical patency is performed during the root canal shaping procedures. However, there is no consensus on the role of apical patency in relation to the success of endodontic treatment of necrotic teeth with apical periodontitis. Therefore, th...
