Introduction: An alternative method for the treatment of non-vital deciduous teeth is Lesion Sterilization and Tissue Repair (LSTR) technique in which instead of instrumentation of the root canals and obturating them with Zinc Oxide Eugenol (ZOE), the root canals are treated with a 3-Mix paste.  Case Report: In the current case report, the therapeutic outcomes of LSTR technique are presen...

Capík I . , V. Ledeck ̆, A. ·evãík: Effects of Flumetazone on Exposed Dental Pulp of Dogs. Acta Vet. Brno 2003, 72: 279-283. Dental pulp metabolism plays very important role throughout the tooth life. Its role is essential particularly in the first two-three years. This is the time of the highest dentin deposition which provides sufficient firmness to withstand common everyday trauma. This study...

BACKGROUND This systematic review assesses the effect of methods commonly used to manage the pulp in cases of deep caries lesions, and the extent the pulp chamber remains uninfected and does not cause pulpal or periapical inflammatory lesions and associated tooth-ache over time. STUDY DESIGN An electronic literature search included the databases PubMed, EMBASE, The Cochrane Central Register o...

Introduction: Using irrigation solutions in pulpectomy procedures for children is the best technique to dissolve and remove the soft necrotic materials during instrumentation. Normal saline solution (NSS) has no antibacterial activity and only results in root canal cleaning during irrigation. The 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) solution significantly decreases bacterial coloni...

There are reports on hypoesthesia and anesthesia in taste sensation persisting for several months or even years after dental anesthesia, pulpectomy and tooth extraction. Taste disorders following dental treatments are usually attributed to peripheral injury of taste (the chorda tympani) nerve fibers running with the lingual nerve fibers near the mandibular molars. 2 However, taste impairment in...

In 45 children (18-54 months), 28 pulpotomies, 26 indirect pulp therapies, and 27 pulpectomies were completed in primary incisors with 58 incisors acting as controls. Using clinical and radiographic evaluations, the success rate of pulpotomies, indirect pulp therapies, and pulpectomies did not differ statistically from comparable primary molar rates. Incisor pulpotomy success was 85.7% (mean fo...

PURPOSE This study determined whether the portable Advance Laser Flowmeter Model 21, a clinical instrument, would indicate significant values when pulpal blood flow was present or absent; whether the analog output of the flowmeter was time-linked to the heart rate; and whether labial and lingual crown surfaces produced different flow values. METHODS Teeth were tested under two conditions: wit...
