At a time of drastic change in the environment surrounding financial institutions, administrative work centralization aimed at reducing the workload of the back office has propelled the introduction of cost-effective image processing systems geared toward centralized operations. Further, in an effort to prevent forgery, more and more institutions have done away with duplicate seals and are intr...

Materials and Methods: A total of 36 canals of extracted maxillary central incisors were instrumented and randomly divided into 3 experimental groups (n=10) and two negative and positive control groups (n=3). Lateral compaction technique was performed using AH26 sealer (group 1 or control), and MTA Fillapex (group 2). The canals in group 3 were filled using vertical compaction of MTA alone. Sea...

We investigated the use of India ink as an indicator of root canal sealing ability. Sealing ability is one of the most important factors required of root canal cements. Various dyes have been used for this purpose. Methylene blue, radioisotopes and India ink have all been tried. However, there is no evidence that India ink is suitable as an indicator. We measured the particle size distribution ...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the apical seal of root canals filled with Ketac Endo glass ionomer cement with a single point or multiple points and partial removal of fillings using drills with or without water cooling. Ninety-six single-root teeth were instrumented and filled with Ketac Endo and gutta-percha. The single point procedure was used in 48 teeth and the multipl...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the apical seal of curved canals obturated with Resilon/Epiphany with gutta-percha/AH Plus. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-four extracted human mandibular molars with 25-40 degree canal curvature of the mesial root were selected for this study. After preparation, the mesiobuccal canals were obturated with gutta-percha and AH- Plus sealer (group G) ...

3 F a bstract he purpose of treating furcal perforation is to sea rtificial communication between the endodontic spa nd the periradicular tissue to prevent alveolar b esorption and damage to the periodontal ligame hese complications are not infrequent in cases urcal and/or old perforations, which show a w rognosis than fresh, small, coronal, and apical pe ations. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to evaluate the vertical root fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth obturated with - Tubli-Seal EWT/Gutta-percha, AH Plus/Gutta-percha, Epiphany SE sealer/Epiphany point. STUDY DESIGN Sixty-five single rooted premolars were decoronated and root length was 14 mm for each specimen. Fifty five teeth were enlarged up to ISO size 40 master api...

Treatment of a non vital tooth with necrotic pulp and immature apex is a great challenge to the clinician. In obturation for gutta-percha condensation, there should be an apical barrier to avoid extrusion of cements and gutta-percha into the apical area leading to periapical trauma. Apexification is a method which is used for treatment of such tooth with open apex. It is defined as “a method to...
