Caries is the most common cause of pulp-periapical disease. When the pulp tissue involved in caries becomes irreversibly inflamed and progresses to necrosis, the treatment option is root canal therapy because the infected or non-infected necrotic pulp tissue in the root canal system is not accessible to the host's innate and adaptive immune defense mechanisms and antimicrobial agents. Therefore...

Purpose Despite the good sealing ability and biocompatibility of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), its slow setting, high degradation, and weakness limit its use in surgical endodontics and high stress-bearing areas. This study aimed to develop two new liquids to control these drawbacks. They were prepared from calcium chloride, fumed silica, and hydroxyapatite or calcium phosphate and coded "H...

Micro-endodontics has emerged as a critical component in endodontics, revolutionizing the management of complex root canal anatomy. It utilizes magnification devices, such dental operating microscopes or loupes, to enhance visualization and identify intricate anatomical details. encompasses advanced techniques technologies that are utilized alongside principles conventional endodontics. While b...

Radiographic imaging is essential in diagnosis, treatment planning and follow-up in endodontics. The applications of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in endodontics has been widely reported in the literature.It provides high-quality, accurate threedimensional (3D) representations of the osseous elements of the maxillofacial skeleton. The purpose of this article is to discuss the features, a...

a variety of configurations and magnifications. With the aid of a fiberoptic headlamp system, light can be projected in the line of sight to prevent the creation of shadows in the surgical field and render optimal visualization of the treatment site. However, the magnification of loupes is limited (2.5 to 6.0 ) and their optics are convergent, which creates eye strain and fatigue. In order to a...

Recent research in endodontics has highlighted the need for three-dimensional imaging in the clinical arena as well as in research. Three-dimensional imaging using computed tomography (CT) has been used in endodontics over the past decade. Three types of CT scans have been studied in endodontics, namely cone-beam CT, spiral CT, and peripheral quantitative CT. Contemporary endodontics places an ...
