Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy in the Endodontic Treatment of Deciduous Teeth: In Vivo Pilot Study

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) in infected deciduous teeth by quantifying the viable bacteria in root canal treatment. Material and Methods: Radicular canal cultures were collected (n= 10). Four intra-canal samples were collected at four different times i...

Effect of Glass Fiber Post Diameter on Fracture Resistance of Endodontically Treated Teeth

Abstract Objective: To determine the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with three different diameters of glass fiber posts and metal-ceramic crowns. Material and Methods: Thirty human maxillary canines were selected and subjected to root canal therapy. The teeth were randomly...

Direct resin composite restoration of endodontically-treated permanent molars in adolescents: bite force and patient-specific finite element analysis

J. appl. oral sci; 28 (), 2020
Abstract Objective To evaluate the influence of three levels of dental structure loss on stress distribution and bite load in root canal-treated young molar teeth that were filled with bulk-fill resin composite, using finite element analysis (FEA) to predict clinical failure. Methodology Three first ...

Clinical performance of whitening on devitalized teeth: a retrospective observational study

Braz. dent. sci; 23 (1), 2020
Objective: This retrospective observational study evaluated the clinical performance of intracoronal whitening and correlated the main factors that interfere with its stability and patient satisfaction. Material and Methods: The paper was designed following the STROBE statement. Patients from the Institu...

Effect of glass-fiber post on the biomechanical behavior of teeth with direct veneers

Braz. dent. sci; 23 (3), 2020
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical behaviour of endodontically treated teeth with direct veneer that received or not intra-radicular glass fiber post by finite elements analysis. Material and methods: Six models were designed, varying the presence or absence of glass fiber post and...

Limited evidence suggests benefits of single visit revascularization endodontic procedures - a systematic review

Braz. dent. j; 30 (6), 2019
Abstract Revascularization endodontic procedures commonly require multiple treatment sessions. However, single visit procedures may be advantageous from the clinical and patient management standpoints. The purpose of this review was to evaluate the outcomes of single-visit revascularization endodontic pr...

Pretratamiento y mejoría de la fuerza de unión de los cementos autoadhesivos de resina a los postes
Pretreatment and improvement of bonding strength of self-adhesive resin cements to posts

Rev. cuba. estomatol; 56 (3), 2019
ABSTRACT Introduction: Posts and core are frequently used in endodontically treated teeth with excessive loss of coronal tooth structure. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of self-adhesive cements under different pre-treatments of dentin in the resistance to extrusion of fiberglass posts. Met...

Perda do primeiro molar permanente e necessidade de tratamento endodôntico aos 12 anos no Brasil

Tempus (Brasília); 13 (3), 2019
Objetivo: Objetivou-se discutir as desigualdades regionais e de renda na perda do primeiro molar permanente e necessidade de tratamento endodôntico aos 12 anos, Brasil. Foram analisados dados de 7328 crianças de 12 anos, examinadas no levantamento epidemiológico em saúde bucal de base nacional SB Bra...

New material perspective for endocrown restorations: effects on mechanical performance and fracture behavior

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical performance and the fracture behavior of endocrown restorations prepared using distinct restorative materials. A total of 42 sound molars with similar crown size and shape were cut at 2 mm above the cementoenamel junction and endodontically...

Assessment of a conservative approach for restoration of extensively destroyed posterior teeth

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Extensive restorations in posterior teeth always bring doubts to the clinicians regarding the best protocol, mainly when structures of reinforcement were lost. Objective This study aimed to evaluate the effect of beveling on the fracture resistance and pattern of class II (MOD) restored teeth....
