accumulation of soft tissue or dentinal remnants in the apical region is a common event that can cause blockage of root canals. this event can be avoided if apical patency is performed during the root canal shaping procedures. however, there is no consensus on the role of apical patency in relation to the success of endodontic treatment of necrotic teeth with apical periodontitis. therefore, th...

SORBS2 is a scaffolding protein associated with Abl/Arg non-receptor tyrosine kinase pathways and is known to interact with actin and several other cytoskeletal proteins in various cell types. Previous BioID proximity labeling of tight and adherens junction proteins suggested that SORBS2 is a component of the apical junction complex of epithelial cells. We asked whether SORBS2 plays a previousl...

Objectives: Different chelators may be used during root canal treatment, offering various advantages including lubricant effect inside the canal and smear layer removal. However, chelator residues in narrow root canals can lead to apical microleakage. The aim of this in-vitro study was to compare apical microleakage following the use of three root canal chelators via fluid filtration method in ...

Autologous tooth transplantation is one of the best methods to replace a missing when there suitable donor tooth. Tooth mainly performed immediately after extraction because this completed in single surgery and transferred fresh recipient site facilitated by remaining periodontal ligament. However, planned for severe with large bone defect surrounding affected tooth, delayed mismatched size Whe...

AIM To report a case of apical fenestration and overfilling in which unusual pain characteristics made differential diagnosis challenging. SUMMARY A 32-year-old woman with diffuse, spontaneous, moderate pain in the maxillary left posterior sector, exacerbated by masticatory and facial muscle movement, with intense sporadic electric-shooting pain, underwent clinical examination and 3D cone bea...

purpose: the aim of this study was to compare the effects of a) a flame heated endo plugger, b) gatesglidden drills and c) gpx drills on the apical seal for the purpose of post space preparation. materials & methods: the crowns of sixty six extracted maxillary central teeth were removed from cej by a diamond disc and the root canals were prepared and obturated with guttapercha and sealer (ah26)...

statement of problem: when a tooth is treated endodontically, there are several objectives, which must be met for the root canal therapy to be successful. one of those objectives is the complete obturation of the root canal system. purpose: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the apical sealability of the theramfil endodontic obturation technique and compared it with lateral condensation....

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of irrigants on the antimicrobial potential of calcium hydroxide paste in dogs' teeth with apical periodontitis. Forty-eight premolar teeth of adult mongrel dogs had their root canals opened to the oral environment for 6 months. The root canals were prepared and treated with different irrigating solutions and intracanal medicaments, acco...
