The extrusion of intracanal debris as well irrigants is a regular occurrence during root canal therapy; nevertheless, this issue has not been satisfactorily resolved by any instrument or method to date. Even if it's always possible, shaping irrigation should reduce the likelihood apical much possible. This because flare-ups may result from irritation that directed towards periapical tissues. Du...

INTRODUCTION This study aimed to compare the efficacy of MTAD, Glyde and EDTA in removing the post-preparation smear layer and debris produced in apical third of curved molar root canals. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty extracted human maxillary first molars with curved mesiobuccal canals (30˚-35˚), similar root lengths and morphologies were divided into 3 experimental groups (n=12) and one contr...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to compare the antibacterial effect of Persian green tea extract (GTE) and 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) against Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) as an intracanal irrigant. METHODS AND MATERIALS Thirty freshly extracted teeth were instrumented and sectioned into mesial and distal segments. The specimens were put into wells containing 2 mL of E. fae...

AIM To ascertain the adoption of new endodontic technology in general dental practice in India in 2011. METHODOLOGY A postal questionnaire survey comprising 26 questions was sent to 700 general dental practitioners. The questions covered professional activity, root canal preparation and instrumentation, choice of irrigants and intracanal medicaments, choice of obturation techniques and other ...

Aim. The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the antimicrobial efficacy of Biopure MTAD against E. faecalis in contaminated root canals. Materials and Methods. Forty-two single rooted extracted human teeth were inoculated with E. faecalis and incubated for four weeks. The samples were divided in two control and five experimental groups irrigated with 1.5% sodium hypochlorite solution (...

The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of 1% NaOCl (15 min) and MTAD on dentine shear bond strength, when using the Scotchbond XT(3M ESPE) adhesive system. Thirty extracted, human, third molar teeth were embedded into metal rings with self-curing acrylic resin. The teeth were ground wet using 600-grit silicone-carbide paper to expose superficial dentine. The samples we...

Hypochlorite accidents are relatively rare events. Therefore, there is a lack of precise and accurate reports in the scientific literature that could help clinicians better understand phenomenon associated risk factors. This study reported four hypochlorite attributable to 5% NaOCl extrusion patients who had undergone treatment maxillary elements canal treatments. In all cases, occurred during ...

This clinical study investigated the bacterial reduction after instrumentation using 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) as an irrigant and further interappointment dressing with a calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)(2))/camphorated paramonochlorophenol (CPMC) paste. Eleven teeth with primary intraradicular infections and chronic apical periodontitis selected according to stringent inclusion/exclusion crite...

Non surgical endodontic therapy uses biomechanical cleansing and shaping of the canal, which may be combined with the application of antimicrobial irrigants and intracanal medications, to eliminate these bacteria. The study evaluated the antimicrobial efficacy of Ocetenidine Dihydrochloride, a newer irrigant with Sodium Hypochlorite, a gold standard against Enterococcus faecalis in root canal d...
