Download or read book An In vitro Comparison of Bacterial Microleakage of Zinc oxide Eugenal and Brasseler Bioceramic Sealer written by Joyce E. Nazzai and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTRODUCTION: New sealers have been placed on the market to improve the property of a hermetic seal within the root canal and decrease the gap between the gutta-percha and dentin wall. Differences in the adhesive properties of endodontic sealers may be expected because their interaction with either dentin or gutta-percha may vary with their chemical composition. No specific interaction either with dentin or gutta-percha is expected from the setting reaction of calcium hydroxide based sealers and the epoxy-based sealers. The setting reaction of the zinc oxide-eugenol mixtures is a chelation reaction occurring with the zinc ion of the zinc oxide. Development and maintenance of the seal are essential to optimize the long-term success rate of root canal treatment. An ideal endodontic sealer should, in part, adhere firmly both to dentin and gutta-percha. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the sealing properties of EndoSequence BC sealer TM, a bioceramic sealer, and Roth's sealer using gutta-percha with warm vertical condensation and using the single cone technique with the EndoSequence BC sealer only. The goal is to see if there is a significant difference in microleakage between teeth sealed with the bioceramic sealer and teeth sealed with Roth's sealer. MATERIALS & METHODS: Eighty-five single-rooted maxillary anterior teeth were used for this study. Endodontic cleaning and shaping of each root canal system was accomplished using K-type hand files and NiTi Rotary files. Group A consisted of twenty-seven anterior teeth, which were obturated using EndoSequence BC sealer and gutta-percha with System B and Obtura. Another twenty-seven anterior teeth, Group B, was obturated using Roth's sealer and gutta-percha with System B and Obtura. A final group, Group C with 27 teeth was obturated using the single cone technique by means of a single gutta-percha point with Endosequence BC sealer. Two teeth were used as a positive control group, and two other teeth as a negative control group. A microbial leakage apparatus was constructed using a similar two-chamber method described by Torabinejad et al. E. faecalis ATCC 29212 was the test bacteria which was used in this study to determine microleakage The outcome of interest (bacterial turbidity) and time-to-leakage (in days), will be determined for each of the samples. Survival analysis will be used to compare the two groups, with a Kaplan-Meier plot to visualize the results and a nonparametric log-rank test for the group comparison RESULTS: No microleakage was observed in the negative control or group B. Microleakage was observed in all the positive control. Group A and C had a significantly higher proportion of samples with microleakage than group B (p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oral diseases are one of the more common non-communicable health diseases. They pose a major health burden for many countries and affect people throughout their lifetime causing pain, discomfort, disfigurement, and even death. As per WHO, it is estimated that oral diseases affect nearly 3.5 billion people globally. In developing countries, the estimate could be still higher owing to the lack of awareness among the general public, the lack of adequate infrastructure, and less accessibility to oral health care providers, especially amongst people of lower socio-economic status. The aim of this book is to provide an overview of various oral diseases with emphasis on the pathogenesis, investigation, and the management protocol of different oral and maxillofacial diseases.

Book excerpt: This book provides dental professionals with a clear understanding of current clinical and scientific knowledge on the various aspects of pulp treatment for both primary and young permanent teeth. Diagnostic parameters are clearly presented, along with step-by-step descriptions of clinical procedures, including indirect and direct pulp treatments, pulpotomy, and pulpectomy. The rationale for the materials used in each technique and their individual merits and disadvantages are examined in detail. In the case of pulpotomy, all the materials used since the introduction of this treatment modality are discussed (e.g., formocresol, glutaraldehyde, ferric sulfate, and MTA) and the roles of sodium hypochlorite, electrofulguration, and laser therapy are elucidated. Special attention is devoted to pulpectomy and root canal treatment, with consideration of debriding and obturation techniques, rinsing solutions, and root-filling pastes. A further individual chapter is dedicated to restorations of teeth treated with the different types of pulp therapy. The various conservative treatment modalities are also presented, including specific treatments for immature nonvital permanent teeth. The concluding chapter looks to the future and the potential value of stem cells in pulp therapy.​

Download or read book Mineral Trioxide Aggregate written by Mahmoud Torabinejad and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-06-23 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) was developed more than 20 years ago to seal the pathways of communication of the root canal system. It’s currently the preferred material used by endodontists because of its superior properties such as its seal and biocompatibility that significantly improves outcomes of endodontic treatments. Dr. Torabinejad, who was the principle investigator of the dental applications of MTA, and leading authorities on this subject provide a clinically focused reference detailing the properties and uses of MTA, including vital pulp therapy (pulp capping, pulpotomy), apexification, pulp regeneration, repair of root perforations, root end filling and root canal filling. Line illustrations and clinical photographs show proper technique. An accompanying website features photographs and video presentations for selected procedures using MTA. Mineral Trioxide Aggregate: Properties and Clinical Applications is an ideal book for dental students and endodontic residents learning procedures for the first time as well as practicing dentists and endodontists who would like to improve outcomes of endodontic treatments.

Download or read book Minimally Invasive Approaches in Endodontic Practice written by Gianluca Plotino and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-05 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the latest minimally invasive approaches in endodontics and explains the principles that guide them. The advantages and limitations of these approaches are critically analyzed with the intention of defining new endodontic gold standards. The trend toward the use of more conservative procedures within endodontics reflects the wider adoption of minimally invasive dentistry in general and is being fostered by the introduction of new materials, devices, instruments, and techniques as well as the use of magnification and advanced three-dimensional diagnostic imaging technologies. In this book, readers will find clear explanation of these advances and their impacts. Minimally invasive access to the root canal system is described, and detailed attention is devoted to the application of novel strategies in root canal instrumentation and disinfection, root canal filling, coronal restoration, retreatment, and endodontic surgery. Minimally invasive alternatives to complete endodontic treatment, such as vital pulp therapies, and to dental extraction and implant placement, including surgical extrusion, intentional replantation, and tooth autotransplantation, are also discussed. Minimally Invasive Approaches in Endodontic Practice will be of value for endodontists at all levels of experience.
