The prosthetic treatment of seriously damaged, endodonticallytreated teeth often require an endodontic post as an additional retention element for core build-up prior to crown restoration. In addition to metal-based posts and zirconia-based ceramic posts, fiber-reinforced composite posts have recently become a center of interest for dentists and science. In the past it was commonly accepted tha...

INTRODUCTION Post endodontic pain is often linked to the inflammatory process as well as additional central mechanisms. The purpose of the present double-blind randomized clinical trial study was to compare the prophylactic effects of a derivative of Zingiber Officinale, Zintoma, and Ibuprofen on post endodontic pain of molars with irreversible pulpitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The post endodon...

Many endodontic patients believe that post-treatment pain is unavoidable, yet several clinical trials indicate that postoperative pain occurs in only 25–40% of all endodontic patients (1–4). However, post-treatment pain may last up to several days, depending upon peripheral and central mechanisms of hyperalgesia (5–7). Hence, successful management of endodontic pain is an important concern for ...

Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate, by using finite element analysis, the influence of post location and occlusal loading location on the stress distribution pattern inside the root canals of the mandibular 1st molar. Material and Methods Three different 3-D models of the mandibular 1st molar were established: no post (NP) - a model of endodontic and prosthodontic treatments; m...

objective: pain control in dentistry especially endodontics is particularly important. endodontic pain following root canal therapy (rct) of vital teeth is closely correlated with inflammatory reactions. increased level of prostaglandins has been reported in acute inflammatory reactions. thus, cyclooxygenase-inhibiting drugs have a significant effect on reducing pain and inflammation. cox enzym...

A major cause for endodontic failure is the inability to treat all anatomy. Studies report endodontic retreatments contain 42% missed canals. This case illustrates dentin preservation of a molar with an uninstrumented mesiobuccal-3 canal revealed post-GentleWave Procedure. Efficient cleaning and disinfection with maintained healing to 18 months is demonstrated.

introduction: post-endodontic pain is one of the main problems for both patients and dentists. the purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of premedication with indomethacin and ibuprofen for management of postoperative endodontic pain. methods and materials: in this clinical trial, mandibular molars with irreversible pulpitis were endodontically treated in 66 patients. the medic...

INTRODUCTION Endodontic restoration becomes a challenging task for the clinician because of severe loss of coronal tooth structure owing to trauma, caries, restorative, and endodontic procedures. The restoration of these teeth requires the use of a post and core as individual units or as abutment supports for fixed or removable restorations in a predictable long-term manner. AIM To compare an...

OBJECTIVES Pain is an unpleasant outcome of endodontic treatment that can be unbearable to patients. Instrumentation techniques may affect the frequency and intensity of post-endodontic pain. This study aimed to compare single visit post endodontic pain using Mtwo (NiTi) rotary and hand K-file instruments. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this randomized controlled trial, 60 teeth with symptomatic ir...
