Evaluation of the efficacy of filling material removal and re-filling after different retreatment procedures

Abstract This study analyzed the influence of different retreatment protocols on amount of remaining filling material and amount of new sealer after endodontic retreatment. Forty mandibular molars with curved mesial roots were prepared with ProTaper Universal system, and filled with AH Plus sealer mixed ...

A novel ultrasonic tip for removal of filling material in flattened/oval-shaped root canals: a microCT study

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of a novel ultrasonic tip as an auxiliary method for removing filling material from flattened/oval-shaped canals. The null hypothesis tested was that this method does not influence removing the filling material in flattened/oval-shaped canals. ...

Radioactive iodine-refractory differentiated thyroid cancer: an uncommon but challenging situation

ABSTRACT Radioiodine (RAI)-refractory thyroid cancer is an uncommon entity, occurring with an estimated incidence of 4-5 cases/year/million people. RAI refractoriness is more frequent in older patients, in those with large metastases, in poorly differentiated thyroid cancer, and in those tumors with high...

Avaliação da acurácia de quatro localizadores apicais durante o retratamento endodôntico

Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a acurácia de quatro localizadores apicais eletrônicos durante o retratamento endodôntico. Quarenta pré-molares unirradiculares com apenas um canal, ápice completamente formado, foram divididos em quatro grupos e analisados: Grupo 1: Root ZX ll. Grupo 2: Mini R...

Assessment of rotary and reciprocating movements in root canal filling material removal

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of preparation, filling removal material, reinstrumentation and reobturation of root canals with different Ni-Ti alloys in endodontic retreatment. Firstly, the selection and pairing of mesial root canals of mandibular molars (n = 45) were performed by com...

Evaluation of methods for removal of filling material in endodontic retreatment and assessment of antimicrobial action of solutions used in final irrigation

When endodontic treatment fails, an alternative could be root canal retreatment. During this procedure, all filling material should be removed to allow a new root canal preparation and new obturation of the root canal system. Bacteria are the main cause of endodontic treatment failure, and persistent inf...

Influence of solvents on the bond strength of resin sealer to intraradicular dentin after retreatment

Abstract This study evaluated the removal of filling material with ProTaper Universal Rotary Retreatment system (PTR) combined with solvents and the influence of solvents on the bond strength (PBS) of sealer to intraradicular dentin after canal reobturation. Roots were endodontically treated and distribu...

Avaliação radiográfica e em microscopica eletrônica de varredura de remanescentes de obturação após a re-instrumentação endodôntica

Braz. dent. sci; 20 (1), 2017
Objetivo: Falhas no tratamento endodôntico podem ocorrer por várias razões. O retratamento endodôntico é uma alternativa interessante para tratar esse problema clínico. No entanto, não é possível remover completamente o material obturador do canal radicular por qualquer das técnicas atuais de r...

Comparison of two methods of irrigant agitation in the removal of residual filling material in retreatment

Abstract: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of passive ultrasonic irrigation and EasyClean for removing residual filling material in retreatment. Twenty-two maxillary lateral incisors with apical curvature were instrumented with ProTaper files and filled with Endofill using the lateral co...
