The main aim of this case report was to the clinical efficacy decompression for treating large periapical lesions. Tooth with cystic lesions were treated after root canal treatment. A conventional technique such as aspiration/irrigation used in case. An 18-G needle a syringe aspirate lesion. Two needles then inserted into lesion copious saline irrigation delivered from 1 and until clear express...

Background and Aims: Most children get a lot of anxiety while they visit a dentist. The most important factor in the child's fear at the beginning of treatment is the syringe and needle. Ways to cope with this anxiety include behavioural control techniques such as mental regeneration, distraction, and induction. The purpose of this study was to compare the pain and anxiety in children when usin...

PURPOSE Bulb syringes can be used for the self-clearance of earwax and, in the short term, appear effective. We compared the long-term effectiveness of self-irrigation using a bulb syringe with routine care in United Kingdom (UK) family practice clinics where irrigating ears to remove wax is a common procedure. METHODS We assessed the impact on health service utilization as a follow-up to a s...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcomes of arthrocentesis with the new highly controllable, one handed reciprocating procedure syringe compared with a conventional syringe. METHODS 100 arthrocentesis procedures were randomised between the reciprocating syringe and the conventional syringe. Outcome measures included patient pain, procedure duration, operator satisfaction, synovial fluid volume, cel...

INTRODUCTION Root canal irrigation carries a risk of extrusion of irrigant into the periapical tissues. The objective of this study was to compare different irrigation systems in matched pairs of teeth prepared to an apical size of 35.06 and 50.06 by measuring the frequency and extent of apical extrusion of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) into a simulated periapical environment. The null hypothesis...

This study reports the use of an overturned plastic gallipot from a sterile wound dressing pack as a splashguard during the irrigation of traumatic wounds with a device consisting of a 20 ml syringe and a 21F gauge hypodermic needle. This simple, effective and cheap device can be constructed from items readily available within the emergency department or operating theatre and minimises exposure...

BACKGROUND Earwax is a common problem in both primary and secondary care. There is uncertainty as to the most effective topical treatment. AIM To assess the evidence concerning the efficacy of topical preparations used for treating earwax. DESIGN OF STUDY Systematic review and meta-analysis. METHOD Searching for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of relevant studies. Classification of pr...

This study evaluated the irrigation extrusion and smear layer (SL) removal of continuous ultrasonic irrigation (CUI). Forty root canals were shaped, embedded in warm sterile saline agar colored with 1% acid red, and distributed into four groups; three groups had the final irrigation sequence of sodium hypochlorite and EDTA solutions performed by using syringe irrigation (SI), EndoVac (EV), and ...
