Role of magnification in conservative dentistry and endodontics in today’s practice- a review of literature
نویسنده
چکیده
Dentistry has become more sophisticated and complex thus requiring precised motor skills and visual acuity. Optical magnification has expanded the horizons of dentistry. During past decades, dentistry has not only evolved clinically but the histological aspects has also played an important part in the development of new materials as well as helped in better evaluation of treatment procedures. Hence this review article details about the possible alternatives of magnification such as magnifying glasses, dental loupes, optical microscopes, electron microscopes, surgical operating microscopes, endoscopes, and

Corrosion of Ni-Ti Rotary Instruments: A Review
The nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) alloys used in endodontics contain 56% Ni and 44% Ti. The 2 unique features related to clinical dentistry (i.e., shape memory effect and superelasticity) are due to the transition from austenite to martensite in Ni-Ti alloy. When a superelastic Ni-Ti alloy undergoes a low tensile loading, normal elastic behavior occurs. In fact, at higher tensile loads, the elastic s...
متن کاملEffects of root canal irrigants and medicaments on dentin and vice versa: a review of Literature
Microorganisms are very important in the initiation of pulpo-periapical pathosis. Due to the complexity of the root canal system, the mechanical instrumentation of the root canal system should be supplemented with proper canal irrigants and medicaments. It has been revealed that due to the interactions of canal irrigants and medicaments with dentin and contents of the canal system, the antimicr...
متن کاملThe Role of Root Canal Preparation on Apical Geometry: A Review of the Literature
The amounts of apical enlargement have been a controversial issue for a long time. The enlargement of the apical part of the canal may severely impact the endodontic prognosis. Enlargement of the apical portion to a larger size may negatively affect the ability to control the filling material during root canal obturation. In addition, an open-apex increases the risk for overfilling which has be...
متن کاملNano Science and Root Canal Therapy: A Literature Review
Nano science and nanotechnology have revolutionized all aspects in the endodontic field. The aim of the present study was to describe the application of nanotechnology in endodontics by reviewing the literature.The application of nanomaterials, with a smaller size, for surface modification has reduced the incidence of failure in the rotary nickel-titanium files. Nanoparticles with the ability o...
