The objective of this study was to compare the sealing ability of ActiV GP/glass ionomer (GI) sealer (Brasseler USA, Savannah, GA), Resilon/Epiphany (Pentron Clinical Technologies, Wallingford, CT), and gutta-percha (GP)/AH Plus (Dentsply Maillefer, Tulsa, OK). Seventy-three human single-rooted teeth were randomly divided into three test groups (20 canals each) and two control groups (5 positiv...

AIM To compare the apical seal of lateral condensation technique, thermafil and one-step by using this model. MATERIALS AND METHODS A two-chamber bacterial microleakage model using E. faecalis as microbial marker was used for evaluation of the leakage. Bacterial penetration was monitored over a 60-day period. Leakage was recorded when turbidity was observed in the lower chamber. RESULTS Aft...

Aim: This clinical study was undertaken to evaluate the postoperative sequelae following single-visit versus multiplevisit endodontic therapy at various interval of time in vital as well as nonvital teeth. Materials and methods: Thirty-two cases were randomly assigned to the following four groups, group I, group II, group III and group IV. After gaining the access to the pulp chamber, establish...

Relevance . Under study is based on the fact that every year number of patients with complicated forms caries increases, in addition, complexity a treatment manipulations, often leads to various errors and complications at all stages endodontic treatment. Aim To evaluate tightness root canal obturation depending selected technique antiseptic canals. Materials methods 40 teeth extracted due chro...

Pulpal and periradicular diseases are primarily caused by bacterial invasion of the root canal system as a result of caries progression. The presence of residual bacteria at the time of root canal completion (obturation) is associated with significantly higher rate of treatment failure. Re-infection of obturated root canals can be potentially prevented by enhancing the antibacterial activities ...
