Abstract Introduction Pulp and periodontal tissues may communicate and, in pathological situations, combined endodontic-periodontal lesions be established. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence endo-perio non-molar molar teeth referred for endodontic treatment. Material method sample consisted 104 evaluated 79 consecutive patients a cross-sectional design. Visible plaqu...

Aim: The present study was carried out to compare clinically and radiographically the efficacy of regenerative potential Demineralizedfreeze-dried bone allograft (DFDBA) Bioactive glass putty (Novabone© dental putty) in mandibular grade II furcation defects. Methods: In 34 Patients, 60 defects were treated using DFDBA putty. 30 furcations DFDBA, while bioactive used treat remaining defect. Clin...

The aim of the present study was to compare effects phenothiazine photosensitizers methylene blue (MB), toluidine blue-O (TBO) and butyl (BuTB) in antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT), as adjuvant scaling root planing (SRP) treatment experimental periodontitis (EP) rats. 120 Wistar rats underwent ligation around lower left molar. After seven days, ligature removed. animals were separated i...

This case report describes an endodontically managed maxillary first molar with an unusual morphology of five canals. Maxillary first molar has one of the most complex root and canal anatomy. The greatest variations observed are the presence of two canals in the mesiobuccal root of maxillary molar, canals in the furcation area and the presence of lateral and accessory canals. The incidence of t...

AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a Pulpotec modified endodontic approach on primary molars presenting necrotic pulp and furcation bone loss in a cohort of healthy children. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty primary necrotic molars in healthy children, aged between 4 and 6 years underwent clinical and radiological assessment. A chemomechanical removal of pulpal necrotic...
