Introduction: Pain is the most common reason for patients seeking root canal therapy, hence, relieving the patients from it is most essential for endodontic success. Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of single dose of transdermal patch as a pre-operative analgesic in root canal treatment and to evaluate pain using visual analogue scale (VAS) at baseline, 4 hrs, 8 hrs & 24 hr...

Introduction: In teeth with incomplete rhizogenesis, the canal is frustoconical and broad, foramen absent. The disinfection obturation protocol must be adapted to keep treatment within root limits. Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) performs an apexification by creating a hard tissue barrier cement deposits, it not toxic periradicular tissues. Hypoplasia quantitative enamel defect caused heredita...

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of Intraligamentary Injection with IANB injection technique for root canal treatment mandibular molars and premolars in patients asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis undergoing access opening.

The 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) solution significantly decreases bacterial coloni...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to compare 2 kinds of anti-inflammatory medicines (ie, dexamethasone and ibuprofen) with a placebo according to their effects on the success rates of an inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) for the endodontic treatment of mandibular molars with irreversible pulpitis. METHODS A total of 165 patients were divided into 3 groups of 55 patients each and were ...

introduction: this case report describes apexogenesis treatment of three molar teeth of an 8-year-old boy using three different pulpotomy agents. methods: pulpotomy was performed on decayed immature molar teeth with established irreversible pulpitis and the remaining pulp was capped with either zinc oxide eugenol, proroot mineral trioxide aggregate or calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement. teet...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of sensibility tests by correlating it with histologic pulp condition. METHODS AND MATERIALS Assessment of clinical signs and symptoms were performed on 65 permanent teeth that were scheduled to be extracted for periodontal, prosthodontic or orthodontic reasons. The normal pulp and reversible pulpitis were considered as treatab...
