Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this randomized control study was to determine the effect of the administration of the preoperative ketorolac on the success of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) block in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis

Materials and Method: Ninety adult volunteers who were actively experiencing pain participated in this study. The subjects were divided into 3 groups on a random basis and were randomly divided into three groups. Group 1 patients were advised to take tablet Ketorol-DT for 2 days as per the dosage recommendation by the manufacturer before the endodontic procedure. Group 2 patients were given tablet Ketorol-DT 1 hour before anesthesia and group 3 patients receive no preoperative medication. All patients received standard inferior alveolar nerve block of 2% lidocaine with 1:80,000 epinephrine. Endodontic access preparation was initiated after 15 minutes of initial inferior alveolar nerve block. Pain during treatment was recorded by using Heft Parker visual analog scale. Success was recorded as none or mild pain.

Result: Preoperative administration of tablet Ketorol-DT before 2days has a significant effect on success rate of Inferior alveolar nerve block in patients with irreversible pulpitis. There is no statistical difference between group 2 and group 3.

Conclusion: Preoperative administration of tablet Ketorol-DT before 2days has a significant effect on success rate of Inferior alveolar nerve block in patients with Irreversible pulpitis.

Abstract

Microorganisms are major source of infection of the ischolar_main canal system. A wide range of microbial flora are isolated from the ischolar_main canals. A proper understanding of the ischolar_main canal microorganisms are very important for the success of ischolar_main canal treatment. This review highlights the microbial flora involved in endodontic pathology and its role in our treatment procedure.

Abstract

Vertical ischolar_main fracture in teeth can be a barrier in diagnosis. There are other clinical and radiographic findings which can be vigilant to the clinician to the existence of fracture. Knowledge of the diagnostic aspects and the correct correlation and interpretation of radiograph was enough to establish the diagnostic hypothesis of vertical ischolar_main fracture.

Abstract

Dentistry has been revolutionized by the development of ultrasonic tips. It gives a minimally invasive approach, and with optimum magnification it can favor a successful conservative treatment. Ultrasonics are ideal for endodontic use and offers many applications and advantages like improved techniques and use of materials, and helps enrich the way endodontics is being practiced beginning from access preparation to re-treatment and also surgical treatment. They offer numerous advantages over conventional methods and a viable option employed by the dentists. Most frequent applications of ultrasonics in endodontics are access refinement, finding calcified canals, and removal of attached pulp stones and intracanal obstructions, increased action of irrigating solutions, condensation of gutta-percha, placement of mineral trioxide aggregate, in surgical endodontics and ischolar_main canal preparation. Due to its efficiency there is an increased focus on the use and possible consequences of ultrasonics. This review article describes the various uses of ultrasonics in surgical and non surgical ischolar_main canal treatment in a clinical perspective.
