Utilização da imagem por ressonância magnética na odontologia: revisão de literatura

HU Rev. (Online); 44 (1), 2018
A Imagem por Ressonância Magnética (IRM) tem sido considerada a modalidade de escolha para o diagnóstico de processos patológicos que acometem a articulação temporomandibular, tecidos moles e outros processos inflamatórios. Devido a sua característica não invasiva e livre de radiação ionizante...

Tecnologia a serviço da Endodontia: avanços no diagnóstico e tratamento de canais radiculares

HU Rev. (Online); 44 (1), 2018
A Endodontia é a especialidade da Odontologia que cuida da prevenção, diagnóstico e tratamento das afecções que acometem a polpa dental, a cavidade endodôntica e os tecidos periodontais adjacentes. O tratamento endodôntico, considerado complexo e desgastante para o paciente e operador, durante an...

Micro-CT analysis of filling ability and porosity of root-end filling materials

Introduction: Filling ability of retrograde cavity and porosity are important properties for root-end filling materials and may be evaluated by using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT). Objective: To evaluate filling ability and porosity of root-end filling materials using microcomputed tomography (mic...

Determination of residual parachloroaniline produced by endodontic treatment after the use of 5% sodium hypochlorite and 2% chlorhexidine combined: an ex-vivo study

ABSTRACT: Aim: The objective of this work was to determine the concentrations of irrigating solutions and the residual content of parachloroaniline (PCA) formed after endodontic irrigation, using 5% NaOCl, 0.9% NaCl, 10% EDTA and 2% CHX 2%. Methodology Twenty premolars were used and 13 samples were col...

Comparison of automatic and visual methods used for image segmentation in Endodontics: a microCT study

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (6), 2017
Abstract To calculate root canal volume and surface area in microCT images, an image segmentation by selecting threshold values is required, which can be determined by visual or automatic methods. Visual determination is influenced by the operator's visual acuity, while the automatic method is done entir...

Application of forensic luminol for blood detection in endodontic files

Introduction: Blood is a biological material with high potential of infectious transmission in dental environments, including herpes simplex, hepatitis and AIDS. Aim: To investigate the efficacy of luminol in detecting blood in endodontic files before and after the sterilization process. Material and m...

Antibacterial activity of intracanal medications based on calcium hydroxide and zinc oxide micro- or nanoparticles: an ex vivo study

Introduction: Nanoparticles and associations to calcium hydroxide can be used to increase antimicrobial activity. Objective: To evaluate antibacterial activity against Enterococcus faecalis and pH of intracanal medications (IM) based on calcium hydroxide (CH) and zinc oxide (ZnO) micro- or nanoparticles...

Coronal microleakage of enterococcus faecalis in three types of endodontic filling (warm vertical compaction, lateral compaction, and single cone)

ABSTRACT. Introduction: the adequate sealing of endodontic fillings is critical for a successful treatment, as it prevents the entry of microorganisms and/or their growth in case they persist within the root system. The purpose of this study was to determine bacterial microleakage time in root canals f...

Contamination of gutta-percha cones in clinical use by endodontic specialists and general practitioners

ABSTRACT. Introduction: the present study evaluated the microbial contamination of gutta-percha cones proceeding from packages used clinically by endodontic specialists and general practitioners. Methods: two gutta-percha cones were selected from 30 original packages, already in clinical use, in dent...
