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.

Abstract

There are two possible mechanisms for size influenced consequences of nanomaterials in preventive dentistry: one, interaction with bacterial attachment and biofilm establishment, two, the effect on de- and remineralization. As the process of demineralization begins at nanolevel, it is imperative to provide nanosized units for optimized remineralization. This is applicable for particle size-related interactions with bacteria and it’s bacterial, as the nanoparticles are more effective than microparticles. Many preparations have been developed, many of them are in the experimental state, and a few are already available. Nanoparticles for major tooth repair may progress through various stages of technological development. Many naniparticles are made available which help in teeth repair and regeneration process. This article is a review on nanomaterials for remineralisation. Which are Nano hydroxy apetite, Nano calcium fluoride, Beta Tricalcium Phosphate, nano Bioglass, Nano CCP-ACP and nano Bioinert zirconia.

Abstract

Periapical cyst accounts up to half of cystic lesion of jaws. Large periapical cysts, generally true cyst are self sustaining are less likely to be resolved by conventional ischolar_main canal therapy. Hence, a surgical intervention is needed. Of all the surgical procedures decompression is a more conservative option to treat periapical cyst. It includes surgical exposure of a cyst wall and insertion of a tube or any drain to decompress the lesion during healing and reduces the necessity of surgical enucleation. The decompression technique has a potentially high success rate with low morbidity and reduced loss of bone support, and should be considered for treatment of these lesions. It can reduce risk of perforation in lesions adjacent to the nasal floor, sinus floor, mandibular nerve, and neighboring tooth apices. Despite certain limitations like need for patient compliance and longterm follow-up, decompression is a viable and less invasive method which can counterbalance the fallacies and should be considered as an alternative to conventional surgeries. This review article describes the origin, methods, clinical outcomes, advantages and drawbacks of decompression procedure for periapical cyst.
