The incorporation of the microscope in clinical endodontics has had profound effects on the way endodontics is done and has changed the field fundamentally. This article outlines the key prerequisites for the use of the microscope in nonsurgical endodontic procedures, discusses which procedures benefit from using the microscope, and addresses the issue of cost versus patient benefit.

OBJECTIVE Eradication of microorganisms present in the root canal system is paramount for the successful outcome of root canal therapy. The purpose of this study was to compare the of doxycycline absorbed from MTAD into root canal dentin after obturation with gutta-percha/AH26 and Resilon/RealSeal at different time intervals. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-one extracted human teeth were instrume...

introduction: this study aimed to compare the efficacy of mtad, glyde and edta in removing the post-preparation smear layer and debris produced in apical third of curved molar root canals. materials and methods: forty extracted human maxillary first molars with curved mesiobuccal canals (30˚-35˚), similar root lengths and morphologies were divided into 3 experimental groups (n=12) and one contr...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth filled with a resin-based obturation material using two different chelating agents. METHODS AND MATERIALS Forty extracted single-canal human teeth were prepared, instrumented, and randomly divided into three groups: Group 1 (n=15) received a final flush with 10 ml of neutralized 17% EDTA, ...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the sealing ability of root-end filling materials such as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Portland cement, and bioaggregate (BA) after irrigation with different solutions. MATERIALS AND METHODS We examined 130 human maxillar central teeth. After cutting the teeth at the cementoenamel junction, the root canals were expanded using nickel...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the cleaning ability of a self-adjusting file (SAF) system regarding debris and smear layer removal using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or MTAD. STUDY DESIGN In total, 45 maxillary incisor teeth were randomly divided into 2 different irrigation groups of 20 canals each and a negative control group of 5 canals. The canals in each of t...
