Objectives To assess tooth crown's color after intracanal treatment with triple antibiotic paste (TAP) or calcium hydroxide (CH); cervical sealing with glass ionomer cement (GIC) or mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA); and bleaching with carbamide peroxide. Material and Methods After pulp removal and color spectrophotometer measurement, 50 bovine incisors were divided into 4 experimental groups ...

This case report demonstrates intentional extraction of an endodontically compromised tooth followed by its intentional reimplantation to preserve the tooth and restore its functions. Re-implantation presents an alternative treatment option to preserve integrity of dentition in cases of poor prognosis where the tooth is damaged with multiple perforations or due to limited instrument access or p...

Received: 24 Nov 2014 Accepted: 12 May 2015 Abstract Background and Aim: Some researchers have attempted to enhance the antibacterial properties of sealers by addition of antibiotics while this may affect their physical properties. The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the working time and flow of AH Plus sealer alone and in combination with amoxicillin and triple antibiotic paste (...

OBJECTIVE This article will review the new concept of regenerative endodontics in the management of immature permanent teeth. The potential role of stem cells to regenerate immature permanent teeth after conservative treatment will be discussed. DATA AND SOURCES Two sets of data source are focused in this review: (i) the characterization of various dental stem cells discovered since 2000 and ...

Tissue engineering is a growing field. In the near future, it will probably be possible to generate a complete vital tooth from a single stem cell. Pulp revascularization is dependent on the ability of residual pulp and apical and periodontal stem cells to differentiate. These cells have the ability to generate a highly vascularized and a conjunctive rich living tissue. This one is able to colo...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of four intracanal medicaments on Enterococcus Faecalis (E. Faecalis). METHODS AND MATERIALS Fifty extracted single-rooted human teeth were prepared with standard method. After contaminating the canals with E. Faecalis, the samples were divided into one control and four experimental groups (n=10). The teeth...

INTRODUCTION To present and discuss the results of five clinical cases treated using the revascularization protocol, showing clinical and radiographic monitoring. Necrotic immature teeth with periapical pathology present a challenge to dentists because the techniques used in apexification leave the tooth susceptible to fracture, since the root does not continue to grow in length and the canal w...

Dens invaginatus is a developmental anomaly that results in an enamel-lined cavity intruding into the crown or root before the mineralization phase. This report presents regenerative endodontic treatment of a necrotic immature tooth with Oehler's type III dens invaginatus of a nine-year-old female patient. A diagnosis of dens invaginatus (Oehler's type III) and a large periapical lesion was est...

Introduction: Chronic periapical abscesses are caused by polymicrobial bacteria, including E. faecalis, S. mutans, sanguinis, and P. gingivalis. These bacteria can be eliminated with chlorophenol camphor menthol (ChKM) solution triple-antibiotic paste (TAP) as an intracanal medicament. This study compared the effectiveness of ChKM to medicament for that cause a chronic abscess. Methods: An expe...
