Effect of passive ultrasonic activation on microorganisms in primary root canal infection: a randomized clinical trial

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract Objective: This clinical study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of passive ultrasonic activation (PUA) in eliminating microorganisms in primary endodontic infection (PEI) after instrumentation of root canals using microbiological culture and checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridization. Methodology:...

Estudio con Microtomografía de Conductos Tratados con Sistemas Reciprocantes y Obturados con Cementos Biocerámicos
Microtomography Study of Root Canals Treated with Reciprocating Systems and Filled with Bioceramic Cements

Objetivo: Comparar la presencia de poros en los tres tercios del conducto radicular luego de la obturación con cementos biocerámicos. Se trataron endodónticamente 20 premolares inferiores unirradiculares, de anatomía oval. Los mismos fueron divididos en dos grupos y se obturaron con dos cementos bioc...

Uso de plasma rico en fibrina comparado con colágeno en el tratamiento de recesión gingival utilizando la técnica estenopéica. Ensayo clínico aleatorizado

Cienc. tecnol. salud; 6 (2), 2019
La recesión gingival (RG) es un problema de salud bucodental frecuente que aumenta con la edad, predispone a hipersensibilidad dentaria, caries radicular, inflamación gingival y efectos antiestéticos. El objetivo de este ensayo clínico aleatorizado fue evaluar comparativamente el efecto clínico del ...

Terapia endodóntica en pacientes adultos mayores ¿qué debemos tener en cuenta?

De acuerdo con la tendencia mundial, el número de personas de 60 años y más va en aumento. Este crecimiento demográfico de la población, el aumento de las expectativas de vida de las personas y la tendencia a la disminución de pacientes edéntulos, produce una mayor demanda de procedimientos endodÃ...

Iodoform Vs Calcium Hydroxide/Zinc Oxide based pastes: 12-month findings of a Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract This study evaluated clinical and radiographic twelve-month outcomes of root canal treatments (CT) with smear layer removal, performed in primary teeth, using two different root canal filling materials. Pulpectomy was performed on 27 primary teeth with necrosis or irreversible pulpitis, caused b...

A comparison of the sealing abilities between Biodentine and MTA as root-end filling materials and their effects on bone healing in dogs after periradicular surgery

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
ABSTRACT Objectives: To compare the sealing ability and biocompatibility of Biodentine with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) when used as root-end filling materials. Methodology: The Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was used to compare the cytotoxicity of MTA and Biodentine. Twenty-one extracted teeth...

Comparison of apical periodontitis repair in endodontic treatment with calcium hydroxide-dressing and aPDT

Abstract This study evaluated the effect of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) on the endodontic treatment of apical periodontitis (AP). AP was induced in 48 premolars of 6 dogs. After biomechanical preparation, the teeth were divided into 4 groups: Calcium-Hydroxide (CH)/120d and CH/180d: root ca...

Comparison of rRNA-based reverse transcription PCR and rDNA-based PCR for the detection of streptococci in root canal infections

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Objective The rDNA-based method is unable to distinguish between alive and dead cells. Alternatively, bacterial viability can be assessed by molecular methods based on ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Therefore, this study aimed to detect viable streptococci in root canal samples using rRNA-based reverse...

Management of merged external/internal root resorption using CEM cement: a case report

J. oral res. (Impresa); 7 (8), 2018
Chronic pulpal inflammation and infection are the main predisposing factors for internal and external root resorption (IRR & ERR); however, merging of IRR and ERR is a rare lesion which rigorously alters the anatomy of root canals. this study reports a case of merged IRR and ERR in an asymptomatic maxill...
