OBJECTIVES To eliminate microorganisms that are responsible for pulpal and periapical infections and to prevent reinfection of the root canal system an effective chemomechanical preparation by irrigants with sustained antimicrobial activity is beneficial. Hereby, we evaluated the residual antibacterial activity of MTAD after canal obturation at different time intervals. MATERIALS AND METHODS ...

INTRODUCTION The ideal endodontic treatment for the teeth with in complete root-ends and necrotic pulps may involve the use of material which forms an immediate apical barrier instead of long term calcium hydroxide therapy. Such procedure may lead us to a single appointment endodontic treatment. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate clinical and radiographic success rate in necrotic ...

Aim: To evaluate the maximum depth of sealer penetration into dentinal tubules at the coronal, middle, and apical third of root canals, following the use of different final irrigation solutions. Materials and methods: Eighty freshly extracted mandibular premolars were selected for the study. After decoronation, instrumentation of samples was done using Protaper universal rotary file system till...

OBJECTIVE Eradication of microorganisms present in the root canal system is paramount for the successful outcome of root canal therapy. The purpose of this study was to compare the of doxycycline absorbed from MTAD into root canal dentin after obturation with gutta-percha/AH26 and Resilon/RealSeal at different time intervals. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-one extracted human teeth were instrume...

AIM To ascertain the adoption of new endodontic technology in general dental practice in India in 2011. METHODOLOGY A postal questionnaire survey comprising 26 questions was sent to 700 general dental practitioners. The questions covered professional activity, root canal preparation and instrumentation, choice of irrigants and intracanal medicaments, choice of obturation techniques and other ...

AIM To evaluate the apical microleakage of Thermafil obturations after three different post space preparation techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS 33 root canals of mono-radiculated extracted teeth were prepared with M two and then obturated with Thermafil. Teeth so treated were then divided into three groups and the post space to middle root was prepared using three different techniques. In sam...

purpose: the aim of this study was to compare the effects of a) a flame heated endo plugger, b) gatesglidden drills and c) gpx drills on the apical seal for the purpose of post space preparation. materials & methods: the crowns of sixty six extracted maxillary central teeth were removed from cej by a diamond disc and the root canals were prepared and obturated with guttapercha and sealer (ah26)...
