Endodontic posttreatment pain remains to be a significant problem facing the dental profession. Antibacterial intracanal dressing has been advocated to eliminate remaining bacteria after chemomechanical preparation.1 Various intracanal medicaments are advocated to eliminate bacteria and prevent multiplication of bacteria between the appointments. Calcium hydroxide (CH) has been the most commonl...

Orbeseal consists of bismuth subnitrate formulated into an inert viscous malleable paste that does not have any antibiotic or antimicrobial properties. It is delivered in a tube and is infused into the teat end after drying off in a manner similar to infusing a dry cow antibiotic. After infusion it fills the fissures and folds of the teat canal thereby creating a seal preventing the entrance of...

This study describes the treatment of a necrotic immature permanent central incisor with crown fracture. Instead of the conventional root canal treatment, a regenerative approach based on conservative endodontic method for revascularization was provided. The root canal was gently debrided of necrotic tissue by irrigating with sodium hypochlorite and then medicated with tri-antibiotic paste. Aft...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to evaluate the time-dependent effectiveness of the intracanal medicaments used in pulp revascularization on the dislocation resistance of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). METHODS One hundred ninety-two extracted human maxillary incisor teeth were sectioned apically 12 mm below and coronally 2 mm above the cemento-enamel junction. Roots were enlarg...

BACKGROUND Allergic reactions to antibiotics are common in daily clinical allergy practice. Oral drug provocation tests (ODPT) are used to determine safe alternative antibiotics in addition to diagnostic purposes. In one of our previous studies, we have shown that triple test was a safe, time-saving and cost-effective method for determining safe alternatives for patients with non-steroidal anti...

Abstract Background This study was established to assess cysteamine’s cytotoxic effect alone and in combination with various intracanal medications on fibroblast cells, because the biocompatibility of medication is considered one main factors that affect selection specific for usage near vital periodontal tissues. Methods All tested were prepared a solution form. Cysteamine preparation at 200 m...

external inflammatory root resorption (eir) represents a challenge in endodontic practice. eir commonly occurs after dental trauma that results in periodontal ligament injury, pulp necrosis and subsequent infection.  treatment of eir is based on disinfecting the root canal system through chemomechanical procedures and then filling it with calcium hydroxide or triple antibiotic paste. dental tra...
