The current clinical practice of endodontics includes the utilization of a variety of new technological advances and materials. The last comprehensive survey that compared treatment modalities used in endodontic practices was conducted in 1990. The purpose of the current survey was to determine the frequency with which these new endodontic technologies and materials are being used in endodontic...

PURPOSE To assess the retention of glass fiber post cemented with self-adhesive resin cement into optimum and over-prepared root canals following obturation in the presence of either eugenol (EB) or calcium hydroxide (CB)-based sealers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Roots of extracted premolars were endodontically-treated in 5 groups (n = 10). Roots of Group 1 (control) were left with no obturation a...

Aim: This clinical study was undertaken to evaluate the postoperative sequelae following single-visit versus multiplevisit endodontic therapy at various interval of time in vital as well as nonvital teeth. Materials and methods: Thirty-two cases were randomly assigned to the following four groups, group I, group II, group III and group IV. After gaining the access to the pulp chamber, establish...

Currently, although ultrasonics (US) is used in dentistry for therapeutic and diagnostic applications as well as for cleaning of instruments before sterilization, its main use is for scaling and root planing of teeth and in root canal therapy, both for orthograde and retrograde therapy. Both in conventional and surgical treatments, US in endodontics has enhanced quality of clinical procedures a...

The use of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) for complete endodontic obturation of an immature maxillary central incisor is reported. The injured tooth of a 9-year-old male was avulsed secondary to a sports-related traumatic event. Early attempts at pulpal revascularization of the replanted tooth proved unsuccessful, as evidenced by radiographic signs of external inflammatory root resorption in ...

A successful endodontic treatment depends on appropriate instrumentation, irrigation, decontamination and obturation. Chemomechanical instrumentation removes majority of the infecting bacteria, but this is not achieved completely because of complex root canal anatomy and limitation in accessing the root canal system (Manzur et al., 2007). Persistent endodontic infection might be attributed to t...

Knowledge and understanding the anatomical configuration of individual tooth play a significant role in success of endodontic treatment, in addition to through debridement and obturation of the canals. The canal anatomy of maxillary second premolar has been studied extensively, and the presence of a significant variety of multirooted canals is relatively rare in it. A 27-year-old female reporte...

IntroductionThe aim of this study is to report the management of large periapical lesion using triple antibiotic paste as an alternative intra-canal medicament in nonsurgical endodontic treatment. Case reportan 11 year old male patient with large periapical lesion in mandibular anterior region, treated using conservative non-surgical endodontic treatment. Calcium hydroxide-iodoform paste (Vitap...

Relevance . Under study is based on the fact that every year number of patients with complicated forms caries increases, in addition, complexity a treatment manipulations, often leads to various errors and complications at all stages endodontic treatment. Aim To evaluate tightness root canal obturation depending selected technique antiseptic canals. Materials methods 40 teeth extracted due chro...

The past 10 years have witnessed more significant changes in the art and science of endodontics than the previous 100 years. This observation is no surprise, given that change is our only constant. The rate of change, however, has been anything but constant. The rate has accelerated so fast that all clinicians in the field of dentistry need a reliable source to guide us in what works. What work...
