This study was performed to examine the possibility of Er:YAG laser for dentine hypersensitivity treatment using a novel laser probe; broom-type probe. The morphological change of dentinal tubules of bovine dentine plate after low power laser irradiation (5 or 10 mJ/ pulse, 10 pps) or boiling was observed by SEM. Fifty teeth from 13 patients aged 31–54 years with complaint of dentine hypersensi...

The patient's diet has been considered an important etiological factor of dentin hypersensitivity. The frequent ingestion of acidic substances can promote the loss of dental structure or remove the smear layer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the degree of smear layer removal and dentinal tubules exposure by different natural orange juices. Extracted human teeth were submitted to manu...

Tooth Anatomy: Teeth are roughly broken up into three layers: enamel, dentin, and pulp. The innermost layer is the endodontic system (root canal or pulp). It contains the nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue which supply and nourish the tooth during life. The blood and nervous supply enters the tooth through the very bottom or apex of the root. The outer layer of the tooth crown is enam...

BACKGROUND The most important and demanding aspect of endodontic therapy is considered to be cleaning and shaping. Irrigation is considered a vital adjunct to instrumentation of the root canal for canal debridement. Until date, there is no single solution that simultaneously removes the smear layer and disinfects the entire root canal system. Thus, this in vitro study was designed to evaluate t...

OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the penetration depth of 2% chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) into root dentinal tubules and the influence of passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) using a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty freshly extracted anterior teeth were decoronated and instrumented using Mtwo rotary files up to size 40, 4% taper. The samples were random...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prepared dentin surface and to determine whether or not it is possible to seal the dentinal tubules, after different cavity disinfectant applications. Thirty mandibular molars were sectioned parallel to the occlusal plane to expose the midcoronal dentin. All of the teeth were divided into five groups (n = 6 per group): (1) in group OZ, the dentin su...

The resin-dentin interface of in vivo specimens restored with the All-Bond 2 system by use of a total-etch wetbonding technique on vital deep human dentin was investigated by: (a) SEM examination of cryofractured specimens; (b) SEM examination of acid-rinsed, highly polished, embedded specimens; and (c) TEM examination of demineralized ultrathin sections. Ultrastructural features that were pert...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate and compare the penetration depth of conventional (CH) and nano-particle calcium hydroxide (NCH) into dentinal tubules. METHODS AND MATERIALS Ninety human single-rooted teeth were instrumented by RaCe rotary system and after chemomechanical preparation were randomly divided in two equal groups (n=45). In the first group conventional ...

This study evaluated the diffusion through the dentinal tubules of hydroxyl ions from different calcium hydroxide (CH) pastes containing Aloe vera. Sixty single-rooted bovine teeth were used. The tooth crowns were removed, the root canals were instrumented and the specimens were assigned to 4 groups (n=15) according to the intracanal medication: Group CH/S - CH powder and saline paste; Group CH...
