Aim: To compare the effect of QMix, a mixture of tetracycline, citric acid, and detergent (MTAD), and ethylenediaminetetracetic acid (EDTA) on the microhardness of the root canal dentin. Materials and methods: A total of 30 single-rooted teeth were decoronated at 15 mm from the root apex. Root canal instrumentation using step back technique was done and the specimens were split into two halves ...

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of MTAD in comparison with EDTA as a final rinse on the shear bond strength of Kerr, Apexit and AH plus. Dentine surfaces of 135 extracted human non-carious maxillary premolars were divided into three groups (n = 45). Groups I and II were conditioned with 1.3% NaOCl for 20 min, followed by a final rinse of 17% EDTA for 1 min and MTAD for 5 min...

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of three root canal irrigation solutions on the apical sealing ability of three root canal obturation materials: gutta-percha/AH plus or MM-seal and Resilon/Epiphany SE. A total of 100 teeth with single straight root canals were randomly divided into three equal groups of 30 samples each, with the other 10 teeth (5 positive and 5 negative) used as ...

introduction: the purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the antifungal activity of final canal rinse with either three concentrations of sodium hypochlorite (naocl) (0.5, 2.6 and 6%), two concentrations of chlorhexidine (chx) (2% and 0.2%), mtad, tetraclean, hypoclean and chlor-xtra on candida albicans (c. albicans ) in a human tooth model. methods and materials: two hundred and thirty f...

Micro-endodontics has emerged as a critical component in endodontics, revolutionizing the management of complex root canal anatomy. It utilizes magnification devices, such dental operating microscopes or loupes, to enhance visualization and identify intricate anatomical details. encompasses advanced techniques technologies that are utilized alongside principles conventional endodontics. While b...

In the last 15 years, there has been an explosion of new technologies, instruments, and materials for nonsurgical and surgical endodontics. These developments have improved the precision with which endodontics is performed. The most important revolution has been the introduction and widespread adoption of the operating microscope (OM). Its introduction into dentistry, particularly in endodontic...

Radiographic imaging is essential in diagnosis, treatment planning and follow-up in endodontics. The applications of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in endodontics has been widely reported in the literature.It provides high-quality, accurate threedimensional (3D) representations of the osseous elements of the maxillofacial skeleton. The purpose of this article is to discuss the features, a...

introduction: root canal disinfection is an important step in regenerative endodontic treatments. an ideal irrigating solution must have high antimicrobial activity and minimum cytotoxicity. this study sought to assess the effect of some irrigating solutions on stem cells from the human apical papilla (scap) after different periods of exposure. methods and materials: stem cells were isolated fr...
