Objective: To enhance our knowledge about the superior intracanal medicament available for reducing the interappointment pain in endodontic treatment. Methodology: Hundred symptomatic teeth presenting to the Department of Operative Dentistry, Khyber College of Dentistry were included in this study. All teeth underwent conventional root canal treatment. The canals were dried and one of the follo...

Most of periapical lesions usually result from microbial infection with oral microorganisms originating the degenerated pulp tissue. These are commonly painless and incidentally found on routine radiographic examinations. Treating these cases using non-surgical root canal is fruit innovative techniques, tools medicaments as well tendency toward minimally invasive treatment. The healing process ...

AIM: The aim is to compare the antimicrobial efficacy of calcium hydroxide, combination sesame oil with chitosan paste and polyethylene glycol intracanal medicaments on Enterococcus Faecalis at 72 hours, 8 days 14 respectively. Materials Methodology: A total single-rooted anterior teeth were selected, root canal preparation was done, divided into three groups contaminated E. faecalis, which fur...

Root canal disinfection is one of the most important factors governing success of root canal treatment, especially when regenerative strategies are used. This study evaluated the efficacy of 5 intracanal medicaments against mature biofilms of Enterococcus fecalis in vitro: Light activated curcumin, triple antibiotic paste (TAP), double antibiotic paste (DAP), chlorhexidine, calcium hydroxide. U...

Apical periodontitis is an inflammatory lesion in the periodontal tissues that is caused mostly by bacterial elements derived from the infected root canal system of teeth (Core concept 7.1). In non-treated teeth apical periodontitis represents a defensive response to a primary infection in a necrotic pulp. Apical periodontitis may also develop due to a secondary infection subsequent to endodont...

Endodontic posttreatment pain remains to be a significant problem facing the dental profession. Antibacterial intracanal dressing has been advocated to eliminate remaining bacteria after chemomechanical preparation.1 Various intracanal medicaments are advocated to eliminate bacteria and prevent multiplication of bacteria between the appointments. Calcium hydroxide (CH) has been the most commonl...
