Crown discoloration promoted by materials used in regenerative endodontic procedures and effect of dental bleaching: spectrophotometric analysis

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (2), 2017
Abstract Regenerative endodontic procedure (REP) has been proposed as a new approach to treat immature permanent teeth. However, materials used in REP for root canal disinfection or cervical sealing may induce tooth discoloration. Objectives To assess tooth crown’s color after intracanal treatmen...

Common Operative Procedural Errors and Clinical Factors Associated with Root Canal Treatment

Braz. dent. j; 28 (2), 2017
Abstract Operative procedural errors must be well analyzed in order to avoid influence negatively the root canal treatment (RCT) prognosis. The successful RCT prevents tooth loss and avoids pain and apical periodontitis. This review aimed to categorize common operative procedure errors and clinical facto...

Is the bonding of self-adhesive cement sensitive to root region and curing mode?

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (1), 2017
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the influence of two curing techniques on the degree of conversion (DC) of resin cements and on bond strength (BS) of fiber posts in different regions of root dentin. Material and Methods Twenty single-rooted premolars were endodontically treated, and the post spaces w...

Effect of final irrigation protocols on microhardness reduction and erosion of root canal dentin

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the effect of final irrigation protocols on microhardness reduction and erosion of root canal dentin. Sixty root canals from mandibular incisors were instrumented and randomly divided into six groups (n = 10) according to the irrigant used: QMiX, 17% EDTA, 10% citric...

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...

Effect of ultrasonic streaming on intra-dentinal disinfection and penetration of calcium hydroxide paste in endodontic treatment

J. appl. oral sci; 24 (6), 2016
ABSTRACT Objective The antimicrobial effect of ultrasonic agitation of calcium hydroxide (CH) pastes in infected bovine dentin and their penetrability were evaluated using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and microbiological culture. Material and Methods Fifty-two bovine teeth were infected ...

Why not to treat the tooth canal to solve external root resorptions? Here are the principles!

ABSTRACT This paper aims at exposing the foundations or reasons why, in cases of external tooth resorption, including those of orthodontic origin, one should not perform a root canal to treat it. That should be done only to teeth with contamination or pulp necrosis, to remove the periapical inflammation ...

Tratamento endodôntico de um pré-molar inferior com três canais radiculares: relato de caso
Endodontic treatment of a mandibular premolar with three root canals: case report

Dent. press endod; 6 (3), 2016
Introdução: além do uso de materiais e técnicas capazes de promover o sucesso do tratamento endodôntico, é indispensável o conhecimento da anatomia interna da cavidade pulpar, uma vez que as variações em relação ao número, direção, aspecto, calibre e secção podem interferir no processo de...

Dentinogenesis Imperfecta: A Case Report of Five Patients in the Same Family Group

Dentinogenesis imperfecta (DI) is a type of dentin dysplasia that affects the dentin structure of one or both dentitions, which may be classified in three types. The aim of this report was to show the clinical and radiographic features of the four cases of DI in the same family group. Five brothers were ...

Effectiveness of NaviTip FX on intracanal calcium hydroxide removal

Remnants of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) post-irrigation can compromise cleansing and permeability of dentinal walls in endodontic therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate effectiveness of irrigation needle NaviTip FX on intracanal Calcium Hydroxide removal. Twenty-two single-rooted human teeth were...
