Endodontic Failures-A Review

Endodontic Failures - A Review

A Review of Endodontic Bioceramics

Background and Aim: The use of ceramics has a long history. A new category of these materials was used in medicine in 1960 introduced as bioceramics. Biocompatibility, osteoinductivity and sealing ability are among the most favorable characteristics of endodontic bioceramics. Introduction of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) revolutionized endodontics and this new era is progressively growing. ...

Applications of nanotechnology in endodontic: A Review

Owing to its favorable impacts on the properties of materials, nanotechnology is rapidly growing. Adding nano particles to a material can significantly affect its mechanical and physical properties. In recent years, nanotechnology has been applied in the field of medical sciences in order to enhance the quality of treatment procedures. This technology can be used in various aspects of dentistry...

Endodontic Irrigants: A Comprehensive Review

Irrigation has been performed in conjunction with endodontic therapy for many years. One of the primary reasons for irrigating the root canal system is to ensure cleanliness of the canals prior to obturation. This cleanliness involves both elimination of microorganisms and removal of organic matter. Sodium hypochlorite [NaOCl] is the most commonly used solution in root canal treatments, despite...

Incidence of periradicular pathoses in endodontic treatment failures.

Biopsy reports from 150 periradicular tissue specimens obtained from teeth refractory to nonsurgical endodontic therapy were reviewed. The specimens were submitted by postdoctoral dental students in the Department of Endodontics, and the biopsy reports were prepared by oral pathologists at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. The study found that 59.3% of the periradicu...
