Evaluation of Apical Transportation During Calcium Hydroxide Paste Removal Using 2 Different Rotary Systems-invitro study

The evaluation of removal of calcium hydroxide paste from an artificial standardized groove in the apical root canal using different irrigation methodologies.

AIM To evaluate the capacity to remove a calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) paste from the root canal and to evaluate the efficacy of Ca(OH)2 removal during passive ultrasonic irrigation using either sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) or water as an irrigant. METHODOLOGY Sixteen mandibular premolars were used. Each root was prepared to the apical foramen using GT instruments of size 30, 0.06 taper. Each ro...

Evaluation Of Apical Transportation Using 3 Different Rotary Systems: Hyflex Files, Twisted Files, Protaper Next By Morphometric Analysis

Aim: This in vitro study was performed to evaluate the apical transportation between Hyflex files, Twisted files and Protaper next single file rotary system by motic imaging. Materials & Methods: Sixty Endo Training Blocks were used in the study. Pre instrumentation photos of the simulated apical foramen are recorded using an optical microscope and then coupled into the motic imaging software a...

Microscopic cleanliness evaluation of the apical root canal after using calcium hydroxide mixed with chlorhexidine, propylene glycol, or antibiotic paste.

This study evaluated cleaning of the dentinal wall after removal of different calcium hydroxide pastes. Sixty-eight single-rooted teeth were prepared using the step-back technique and randomly divided into 4 groups according to medication used: Ca(OH)2 with 0.2% chlorhexidine solution (Group 1), Ca(OH)2 with propylene glycol (Group 2), Ca(OH)2 with antibiotic paste (ciprofloxacin, metronidazole...

The XP-Endo Finisher for the removal of calcium hydroxide paste from root canals and from the apical third

BACKGROUND The aim was to compare the efficacy of the passive ultrasonic irrigation PUI and the Xp-endo Finisher (FKG-Dentaire, La-Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland) in removing the calcium hydroxide paste from root canals and from the apical third. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty-eight root canals of single-rooted teeth were shaped using the BT-Race files (FKG-Dentaire, La-Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland)....
