AIM The purpose of this study was to compare the working length determination done using three methods, namely, apex locator (Foramatron D-10, Parkell), radiovisiography (Planmeca) and conventional radiography (Prostyle intra, Planmeca). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experiment, to determine the working length, 35 single-rooted teeth were selected and each tooth was subjected to all the three...

BACKGROUND Accurate assessment of working length determines the success and prognosis of an endodontic treatment outcome. Various methods are used in determining the working length. AIM Compare the measurements of the apex locator and radiographic technique to determine working length. METHODS An ex vivo study was conducted on 20 patients having intact single straight root canal. Only premo...

BACKGROUND There are several factors that can affect the fatigue life of a bone plate, including the mechanical properties of the plate and the complexity of the fracture. The position of the screws can influence construct stiffness, plate strain and cyclic fatigue of the implants. Studies have not investigated these variables in implants utilized for long bone fracture fixation in dogs and cat...

Background. Digital radiography has widespread use in endodontics. Determining a correct working length is vital for a proper endodontic therapy. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of conventional and digital radiographic techniques for root canal working length determination. Methods. After determining the real working lengths of 50 permanent maxillary central incisors (gold sta...

BACKGROUND Obtaining a correct working length is critical to the success of endodontic therapy. Different methods have been used to identify this crucial measurement. The Aim of this clinical study was to compare the effect of working length determination using apex locator alone or in combination with working length radiograph on the apical extent of root canal filling. METHODS A total numbe...
