introduction: many studies have been performed to evaluate the stress distribution around endodontic posts; those which compared posts composed of different materials are rare. the aim of this study was to compare stresses induced in dentin by three structurally different posts using photoelasticity method. materials and methods: nine blocks of psm-5 photoelastic material with 45×45×10 mm dimen...

introduction: the aim of this randomized-controlled clinical trial was to assess the effect of intraligamentary (pdl) injection of dexamethasone on onset and severity of post-treatment pain in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. methods and materials: a total number of 60 volunteers were included according to the inclusion criteria and were assigned to three groups ( n =20). after ...

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of endodontic therapy, veneer preparation, and their association on fracture resistance and deflection of pulpless anterior teeth and assess whether restoration with quartz fiber-reinforced post can influence these properties. Seventy-five freshly extracted human maxillary central incisors were selected. Teeth were randomly divided in...

AIM To determine the probability of the incidence, intensity, duration and triggering of post-endodontic pain, considering factors related to the patient (age, gender, medical evaluation) and to the affected tooth (group, location, number of canals, pulp vitality, preoperative pain, periapical radiolucencies, previous emergency access, presence of occlusal contacts with antagonist). METHODOLO...

Taurodontism is the morphoanatomical change in the shape of a tooth, which involves enlargement of the body of the tooth and shortening of the roots. Although a rare dental anomaly, unusual radicular form presents with challenging endodontic considerations. Endodontic management of taurodont teeth has been described as complex and difficult. The present article describes a brief literature revi...

This study aimed to assess the influence of the type of endodontic sealer (salicylate resin-based sealer vs. two endodontic sealers) and the time of fiber post cementation after root filling on the post adhesion to bovine root dentin. Sixty bovine roots were assigned to six groups (n=10), considering an experimental design with two factors (factorial 3x2): endodontic sealer factor in three leve...

This review describes the management of post-endodontic pain pharmacologically and non-pharmacologically. Acute periapical inflammation brought on by endodontic treatment-related chemical, mechanical, and/or microbiological damage to region causes postoperative pain, which is multifactorial in nature. A wide range technical pharmacological techniques are taken into consideration proposed contro...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the gap between the post restoration and the remaining root canal filling had an impact on the periapical health of endodontically treated teeth in a Turkish subpopulation. STUDY DESIGN Digital panoramic radiographs, evaluated for this cross-sectional study, were randomly selected from files of patients who attended to Yeditepe Universit...
