BACKGROUND Pain experience makes a serious anxiety for both patient and clinician before and after root canal treatment. Pain is a complex psychophysiologic phenomenon. OBJECTIVES The aim of this randomized control trial study was to evaluate the analgesic effect of Odontopaste® and a corticosteroid containing compound medicament between root canal therapy appointments. MATERIALS AND METHOD...

OBJECTIVE Calcium hydroxide is the most widely used intracanal medicament in endodontics, which should be removed prior to permanent root canal filling to minimize its intervention with the bonding of endodontic sealers. This ex-vivo study aimed to evaluate the effect of pretreatment with calcium hydroxide on the bond strength of Resilon/Epiphany self etch (SE) to the radicular dentin after rem...

This case report describes the non - surgical management of a large periapical lesion using Metapex as intracanal dressing and root canal therapy. Periapical lesions usually develop in non-vital teeth result chronic aggression by pathogenic microorganisms into which may appear radiolucent radiographs. Treatment such varies from non-surgical means depending on individual. In era minimally invasi...

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of propolis when used as an intracanal medicament against Candida albicans ATCC 10231 (C. albicans) and Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 51299 (E. faecalis) and compare this efficacy to that of Chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX). Methods: This study utilised 70 freshly extracted single rooted human teeth. The crowns were section...

INTRODUCTION Microorganisms should be considered to have the major role in starting and perpetuation of pulpo-periapical diseases. Using intracanal medicaments is necessary to gain a bacteria-free environment in the canal system. Calcium hydroxide (abbreviated as Ca(OH)2), which is the most commonly used medicament in endodontic therapy, has been shown to be effective against primary sources of...

Introduction: Chronic periapical abscesses are caused by polymicrobial bacteria, including E. faecalis, S. mutans, sanguinis, and P. gingivalis. These bacteria can be eliminated with chlorophenol camphor menthol (ChKM) solution triple-antibiotic paste (TAP) as an intracanal medicament. This study compared the effectiveness of ChKM to medicament for that cause a chronic abscess. Methods: An expe...

Background and aims. Since intracanal medicaments can affect the cell viability in periapical tissues, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of calcium hydroxide and propolis on pulp fibroblasts. Materials and methods. Two healthy third molars were used as a source to obtain fibroblasts. The fibroblasts were cultured and subjected to 1 mg/mL of propolis and calcium hydroxide. This ex...

BACKGROUND One of the essential properties of the root canal sealers is the adhesion to root canal dentin and their higher bond strength decreases the microleakage. The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of Different Intracanal medicaments on the push out bond strength of AH26 and MTA Fillapex sealers. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 104 one-rooted extracted human teeth were d...
