Currently, within Endodontics, there are many differencesof opinion and clinical protocols, such as single ormultiple session treatments, conservative or conventionalcoronal access, apical dilatation diameter etc. Thus, welive a diverse Endodontics, which requires a scientific backgroundfrom the endodontist to select the best managementfor the patients.The discussion of performing endodontic treatment inone or multiple sessions persists until today, because it isbased on...

Introduction: The current global outbreak of the MonkeyPoxVirus (MPXV) has brought some uncertainty among Dentists,due to the scarce and very recent information regarding possiblecross-infection in clinical practice. Objectives: This studypresent an update on the most relevant information of dentalinterest on this infectious outbreak, to understand its origin,transmission routes, characteristic signs and symptoms, immunizationand its prevention. Material and methods: Asearch of the official...

Introduction: The present research aimed to observe thepenetration degree of the filling cement in the accessory rootcanals of lower molar roots in which ultrasonic activationof the cement was used. Methods: Forty distal lower molarroots were selected in which accessory root canals weremade in the apical and middle thirds. The roots were instrumentedand filled according to groups. The Kruskal-Wallistest (ANOVA) was performed on the four groups at 3 mmfrom the apex and using the Mann-Whitey...

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the prevalenceof apical periodontitis and its relationship with thepresence of endodontic treatment and different types ofrestorations in a selected adult Turkish population. Methods:The study consisted of 1002 patients and 5764 teeth.Periapical status was evaluated by the periapical index suggestedby Ørstavik et al. A Chi-square and Fishers ExactChi-square test was used for statistical analysis. Results:Periapical pathosis (2%) was...

Objective: The present study aims to quantify the ex vivoamide III/dentin phosphate ratios by using FT-IR aftertreatment with NaOCl, and subsequently with chitosan/genipin solution. The deposition of chitosan/genipin agglomerateon the dentin surface was analyzed. Methodology:Twenty-four specimens were obtained from themiddle third roots of bovine incisors. The amide III/dentinratio without treatment was calculated (T1) and after treatmentwith 2.5% NaOCl (T2). After, the specimens were...

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the tip diameterand taper of different brands of gutta-percha coneswith the nominal size 25.06. Material and methods: Tanari25.06, Diadent .06, Odous de Deus Fine-Medium and Mediumwere used (n=50). Diadent /.06, Odous de Deus Fine-Mediumand Medium gutta-percha cones were calibrated with an endodonticruler at tip diameter 0.25 mm. All gutta-percha coneswere measured using a profilometer (Profile Projector Nikonmodel 6C-2) at the tip (D0), 3 mm...

Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalenceand demographic distributions of the middle mesialcanal (MMC) in mandibular molars of a Chileansubpopulation and identify its anatomical configuration,direction, and end of pathway using cone beam computedtomography (CBCT). Methods: A total of 844 mandibularmolars (422 first molars and 422 second molars) from211 patients (83 men and 128 women aged 12-50 years)were analyzed. A multiplanar tomographic analysis with0.2 mm slices was used to...

Introduction: The report describes the adoption of guidedendodontics as a last effort to address a case of acute apicalperiodontitis in a tooth presenting pulp calcification and asignificant structure loss. Case report: A 29-year-old femalepatient presented to the practice with pain related to the maxillaryleft central incisor region and reporting previous attemptsof treatment by other providers. The tooth presented negativeresponses to both thermal and electrical tests and positiveresponse...

endodonticmanagement of a right maxillary central incisor witha history of trauma associated with a large periapical lesion.Case report: A 15-year-old female patient presented thecrowns of teeth 11, 12, and 13 dislocated buccally, and swellingin the right buccal maxillary region. Teeth 11 and 21 didnot respond to the pulp sensitivity test. The periapical radiographindicated absence of the pulp space of tooth 21,and cone-beam computed tomography revealed a circumscribedhypodense image with...

Introduction: Regenerative endodontic is a contemporaryalternative to the traditional treatments for immatureteeth, and it is not only indicated for necrotic but also forvital pulp therapies. The aim of this case report was todescribe the clinical and radiographic findings of a youngimmature permanent tooth diagnosed with symptomaticirreversible pulpitis after regenerative therapy in one appointment.Case Report: A 9-year old boy had a fractureon tooth #21 and the pulp remained exposed for 2...

Introduction: One of the challenges of endodontic treatmentis the dissolution of existing organic tissue in areasbeyond the main root canal. Objective: To analyze theorganic matter dissolution activity of 2.5% NaOCl, mixed2.5% NaOCl + 9% Etidronate (HEBP), and 2.5% calciumhypochlorite (Ca[OCl]2) solutions activated by passive ultrasonicirrigation (PUI) in areas of simulated internal rootresorption areas. Methods: Forty-eight anterior humanteeth with a single root canal were selected. After...

Introduction: Cracked teeth usually have a difficult andmultidisciplinary solution and minimally invasive treatmentis the new pattern in modern dentistry in order tokeep tooth structure and allow healing. Objective: Reporta conservative approach of a traumatized crackednon-vital tooth, which underwent surgical, endodonticand restorative treatment and the 2-year clinical and radiographicfollow-up. Case report: A 21-year-old femalewas referred to the Faculty of Dentistry Dental...
