Colorimetric Comparison of Tooth Color Change Following the Use of Two Endodontic Sealers: An Ex-Vivo Study

Background and Aim: Tooth discoloration induced by endodontic sealers is an un-desired outcome of endodontic treatment that affects the esthetic appearance of the teeth, which is important especially in the anterior region. The aim of the present study was to compare the coronal discoloration caused by two frequently used resin-based sealers namely EasySeal and AdSeal. Materials and Methods: F...

Silver diamine fluoride: a caries "silver-fluoride bullet".

The antimicrobial use of silver compounds pivots on the 100-year-old application of silver nitrate, silver foil, and silver sutures for the prevention and treatment of ocular, surgical, and dental infections. Ag(+) kills pathogenic organisms at concentrations of <50 ppm, and current/potential anti-infective applications include: acute burn coverings, catheter linings, water purification systems...

Evaluation of the accuracy of two apex locators in endodontic treatment and retreatments: an ex vivo study

Introduction: Working length determination is important in successful endodontic treatment and retreatment.This study evaluated the accuracy of two electronic apex locators Root ZX and Raypex&reg;6 (EALs) in determining the electronic working length (EWL) of the root canals in endodontic treatment and retreatment. Materials and Methods: Access cavities were prepared on forty extracted, singl...

Evaluation of an Indigenously Prepared Herbal Extract (EndoPam) as an Antimicrobial Endodontic Irrigant: An Ex Vivo Study

BACKGROUNDG Root canal irrigation plays a pivotal role in endodontics. Constant increase in antibiotic resistance and side effects caused by synthetic irrigants has shifted the research toward developing herbal alternatives. The current study aims to assess the ex vivo effectiveness of an indigenously prepared herbal extract "EndoPam" and compare it with the conventional endodontic irrigants fo...
