AIM This prospective clinical study explored the influence of calcium hydroxide as an interappointment dressing on the healing of periapical lesions associated with pulpless teeth that had not been endodontically treated previously. This was achieved by comparing the prognosis after a two-visit root canal treatment with that following a one-visit treatment. METHODOLOGY Seventy-three patients ...

Décembre 2000, Vol. 66, No 11 613 There is no consensus on the best procedure for restoring endodontically treated teeth. However, retrospective studies1-6 do identify factors that affect the success rate. Tooth location in the arch,1-3 type of occlusion,2 amount of remaining dentin3 and type of abutment1 affect the selection of a restorative approach that will produce a favourable outcome. Yet...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM There are few published studies analyzing the effects of different ferrule lengths of endodontically treated teeth in relationship to newly developed fiber-reinforced and zirconia dowel systems. PURPOSE This in vitro study compared the effect of 3 different ferrule lengths on the fracture resistance and fracture patterns of crowned endodontically treated teeth restored wi...

The anatomic anomalies detection is important for an attentive clinician. Asuccessful treatment of an endodontically involved tooth should make itfunctional and aesthetically acceptable for the patient. The following articlepresented a case of gemination and the endodontic, prosthetic and periodontaltreatments which were done to keep a complicated tooth in aesthetic zone

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Techniques and recommendations for the restoration of endodontically treated teeth have changed from the use of custom cast metal post and core system to glass fiber-reinforced (GFRC) post and composite core system. Has this latest prefabricated glass fiber reinforced post and composite core system increased the fracture resistance of teeth and reduced the incidence of unre...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Unresolved controversy exists concerning the remaining coronal tooth structure of anterior endodontically treated teeth and the best treatment option for restoring them. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of post, core, crown type, and ferrule presence on the deformation, fracture resistance, and fracture mode of endodontically treated bovine inc...

BACKGROUND Apical periodontitis (AP) is an inflammatory disease around the apex of a tooth root. Reported prevalence of AP ranges from 27% to 83% while the data about most post-Soviet countries are still missing. Knowing the prevalence of AP within a certain population helps to plan the treatment need and evaluate the success of endodontic interventions. We aimed to collect data about prevalenc...
