The present study guide is unique in the sense that it encompasses both classic and most recent literature (2015) in the field of Endodontics. By combining the important studies most commonly repeated in the previously available lit review guides, as well as the recent noteworthy current literature, our goal is to create a comprehensive guide for aspiring endodontists who are preparing to becom...

The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the antimicrobial action of Dermacyn (Oculus Innovative Sciences, Petaluma, CA), BioPure MTAD (Dentsply Tulsa Dental, Johnson City, TN), 2% chlorhexidine (CHX; Ultradent, West Jordan, UT), and 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) against Enterococcus faecalis (American Type Culture Collection 4082). Eighteen Petri dishes of BHI agar were inocul...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to quantify the amount of calcium ions removed from the root canal by etidronic acid (HEBP), BioPure MTAD, and SmearClear using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty (n = 50) freshly extracted human mandibular premolar teeth were collected and decoronated at the cementoenamel junction. The canals were prepared in a crown down ...

RNA helicase A (RHA) is a member of an ATPase/DNA and RNA helicase family and is a homologue of Drosophila maleless protein (MLE), which regulates X-linked gene expression. RHA is also a component of holo-RNA polymerase II (Pol II) complexes and recruits Pol II to the CREB binding protein (CBP). The ATPase and/or helicase activity of RHA is required for CREB-dependent transcription. To further ...

Final root canal irrigation stands as an effective strategy for eliminating the dentin infection. This study aimed to investigate and compare the antibacterial efficacy of QMix and other four final irrigation regimens in reducing Enterococcus faecalis within human root canals. Single-canal human teeth contaminated with E. faecalis for 4 weeks were prepared chemomechanically with sodium hypochlo...

The Editorial Board of the Journal of Endodontics has developed a literature-based study guide of topical areas related to endodontics. This study guide is intended to give the reader a focused review of the essential endodontic literature and does not cite all possible articles related to each topic. Although citing all articles would be comprehensive, it would defeat the idea of a study guide...
