To evaluate the anxiety level among undergraduate dental students during and after endodontic treatment. In this study questionnaire was prepared with 15 questions based on stress level, anxiety, work load undergraduates The were circulated filled by participants in a self-report method. : 70% of reported that canal location is reason for fear treatment, but their starts before treatment begins...

Use of an appropriate root canal irrigant is essential during endodontic treatment, due to the complex and unpredictable anatomy of the root canal system and limitations in the mechanical instrumentation techniques used to obtain a clean, bacteria-free canal. Several irrigants, such as sodium hypochlorite, chlorhexidine, hydrogen peroxide, and normal saline, have been proposed as canal system i...

BACKGROUND The elimination of pathogenic microorganisms from the root canal system is one of the major steps required for successful endodontic treatment. The aim of the proposed study is to conduct a randomized, controlled, clinical trial for the clinical and radiographic evaluation of the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy during the endodontic treatment of primary teeth. METHODS Thirty ...

introduction: this study compared the root canal microbial count of necrotic teeth after irrigation with 6% sodium hypochlorite (naocl) (single session treatment) and two-session root canal treatment with two-week application of calcium hydroxide (ch) mixed with 0.2% chlorhexidine (chx) as intracanal medicament. methods and materials: in this randomized clinical trial, single-rooted necrotic te...

root fractures are defined as fractures involving dentine, cementum, and pulpal and supportive tissues. they comprise about 0.5–7% of all dental injuries. horizontal root fractures are commonly observed in the maxillary anterior region and 75% of these fractures occur in the maxillary central incisors. case report: this case report is about a 26-year-old male referred to the endodontic departme...

Endodontic treatment of immature necrotic teeth is a real challenge. Recently, a biologically based treatment strategy, referred to as regeneration, has been introduced. Tissue regeneration requires the presence of stems cells, a scaffold, and growth factors. Endodontic regeneration may improve the prognosis of immature necrotic teeth by re-establishing the functional pulpal tissue and further ...

introduction: video-assisted clinical instruction (vacid) has been found to be a beneficial teaching tool for various fields in dentistry. the aim of this interventional study was to compare the efficacy of live conventional demonstration (cd), video teaching, and vacid (video with explanation) methods in teaching of root canal treatment to undergraduate dental students. methods and materials: ...

AIM The purpose of this study was to assess in vitro the tooth color alterations associated with two commonly used endodontic irrigants, the chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) and the sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) up to 15 days post-treatment. Additionally, the possible influence of endodontic access preparation on tooth color was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty intact human anterior teet...

Surgical emphysema is well known and many case reports have been published on this. Many authors have reported this as a complication post dentoalveolar treatment. Diffusion of air into facial planes and periorbital area during endodontic procedures has been rarely reported. The use of three way air syringe and forceful irrigation of root canal can lead to surgical emphysema of subcutaneous tis...
