OBJECTIVES On the basis of the "Surgical Checklist" proposed by the WHO, we propose a new Checklist model adapted to the procedures of endodontic treatment. STUDY DESIGN The proposed document contains 21 items which are broken down into two groups: those which must be verified before beginning the treatment, and those which must be verified after completing it, but before the patient leaves t...

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) was first described by Choukroun et al., (2001). It has been referred to as a second-generation platelet concentrate, which has been shown to have several advantages over traditionally prepared platelet-rich plasma. PRF has a physiologic architecture that is very favourable to the healing process, obtained due to the slow polymerization process. The development of pla...

INTRODUCTION A mandatory requirement of root canal therapy is that the obturation and restoration of the tooth must seal the root canals both apically and coronally to prevent leakage and percolation of oral fluids and to prevent recontamination of disinfected canals. Apicoectomy (apicectomy/root-end resection) with retrograde obturation is a widely applied procedure in endodontics, when all ef...

scope (DOM) was introduced to endodontics, offering significantly improved magnification and illumination. Bellizzi and Loushine advocated the benefits of optical magnification for posterior surgery.1 Carr stated that surgical and nonsurgical applications for the DOM have revolutionized the practice of endodontics.2 The advantage of the combined use of the DOM and visual guidance has been repor...

Millions of teeth are saved each year by root canal therapy. Although current treatment modalities offer high levels of success for many conditions, an ideal form of therapy might consist of regenerative approaches in which diseased or necrotic pulp tissues are removed and replaced with healthy pulp tissue to revitalize teeth. Researchers are working toward this objective. Regenerative endodont...
