A new approach to endodontic access in anterior teeth: a pilot study

Introduction: The coronal opening is essential, during endodontic treatment, for direct access to the root canals. Usually, in the anterior teeth, endodontic access is achieved on the palatal/lingual surface, more specifically in the cingulum region. However, the lack of observation for dental positionin...

Braz. j. oral sci; 22 (), 2023
Aim This study aimed to examine the prescription of antibiotics for endodontic infections among undergraduate dental students. Methods Two government Iraqi dental schools [(the University of Baghdad (UOB) (n=99) and University of Babylon (UB) (n=70)], and one private dental school [Osouldeen Universit...

Does the rehabilitation treatment predispose the patient with cleft to endodontic treatment?

Braz. j. oral sci; 22 (), 2023
Aim: to verify the relation between endodontic treatment of teeth adjacent to the cleft area and the rehabilitation of patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate, at the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies. Methods: the present split-mouth study was composed of 406 individuals with c...

Fracture strength and failure load of CAD/CAM fabricated endocrowns performed with different designs

Braz. j. oral sci; 22 (), 2023
Aim: Endocrown restorations are commonly used to rehabilitate endodontically treated posterior teeth and their use is well-founded in these cases. However, to date, there is little scientific evidence of their behavior in anterior teeth. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the compressive stre...

Comparação entre Reciproc Blue e quatro instrumentos réplicas: aspectos metalúrgicos, geometria, comportamento em torção e flexão

A introdução da liga NiTi na endodontia proporcionou a fabricação de instrumentos com excelentes propriedades mecânicas, e uma das principais características é a possibilidade de alteração das temperaturas de transformação da liga, o qual pode possibilitar a presença de martensita em temperat...

Morphological alterations of the apical foramen after foraminal enlargement: a systematic review of ex vivo studies

Braz. dent. sci; 26 (4), 2023
Foraminal enlargement has been recommended to optimize the disinfection of infected root canals, although some authors still claim that the foramen should be kept in its original shape and position. This study aimed to evaluate morphological alterations of apical foramen after foraminal enlargement throu...
