The main issue to be faced to get size estimates of 3D modification of the dental canal after endodontic treatment is the co-registration of the image stacks obtained through micro computed tomography (micro-CT) scans before and after... more
Severe pain and/or swelling following a root canal treatment appointment are serious sequelae. Information varies or is incomplete as to the incidence of these conditions and related factors. In this study, data were collected at root... more
Aim To investigate the attitudes of general dental practitioners (GDPs) and endodontists in the UK towards management of fractured endodontic instruments.Methodology A questionnaire was sent to 330 systemically selected GDPs and all... more
PURPOSE This study evaluated in vivo 2 different obturation techniques (lentulo spiral mounted in a slow-speed handpiece and hand-held) in primary teeth. METHODS The study was carried out on 24 children (mean age = 6.71 years) who had... more
Apical periodontitis is a sequel to endodontic infection and manifests itself as the host defense response to microbial challenge emanating from the root canal system. It is viewed as a dynamic encounter between microbial factors and host... more
The search for new devices and technologies for endodontic procedures always has been challenging. Since the development of the ruby laser by Maiman in 1960 and the application of the laser for endodontics by Weichman in 1971, a variety... more
The objective of this study was to compare the quality of Guttaflow (Coltene/Whaledent, Langenau, Germany), Resilon/Epiphany (Jeneric/Pentron, Kusterdingen, Germany), and EndoREZ (Ultradent Products, Inc, South Jordan, UT) root canal... more
In cases of disrupted apical constriction effort is made to create an apical stop and subsequently instrument and obturate the canal up to this point. The aim of this study was to in vitro evaluate the sealing ability of three root canal... more
Obtaining a correct working length is critical to the success of endodontic therapy. The aim of this clinical study was to compare the effect of working length determination using electronic apex locator or working length radiograph on... more
This study evaluated in vivo 2 different obturation techniques (lentulo spiral mounted in a slow-speed handpiece and hand-held) in primary teeth. The study was carried out on 24 children (mean age = 6.71 years) who had received 50... more
Background Despite numerous studies on the prevalence of apical periodontitis (AP) and endodontic treatment in diverse geographical populations, there are currently no data on the prevalence of these conditions in populations of adults... more
Previous studies have indicated that vertical root fracture tends to occur in a buccolingual direction, where dentin thickness is greatest. Factors potentially influencing the location and direction of root fracture include root canal... more
The aim of this study was to compare the in vitro sealing ability of ProRoot MTA, ProRoot MTA (Tooth-Coloured Formula), ordinary Portland cement and white Portland cement when used as root-end filling materials. Twenty-four single-rooted... more
