Abstract

Aberrations in the ischolar_main canal anatomy are a commonly occurring phenomenon.Athorough knowledge of the basic ischolar_main canal anatomy and its variations is necessary for successful completion of the endodontic treatment. The maxillary molars has fascinated researchers and clinicians for a variety of reasons. Endodontically, these are the most misunderstood teeth, and presents a variety of considerations for the treating practitioner. This case report presents the endodontic management of a maxillary first molar with five ischolar_mains and five canals and another case of maxillary third molar with four canals. The clinical detection of the five canals was made using loupes and confirmed using computed tomography (CT) scanning. This report serves to remind clinicians that such anatomical variations should be taken into account during endodontic treatment of the maxillary molars.

Abstract

Fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with post. Aims:This study aims to compare the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with resin fiber and stainless steel post. Commercially available prefabricated resin fiber post (Dentsply Maillefer Easy Post), prefabricated stainless steel post (Coltene/Whaledent Parapost) were used. Methods & Material: Forty five maxillary central incisors were obturated and divided into 3 groups: Control Group (Group I) without any post (n = 15), Resin Fiber Post Group (Group II) (n = 15) and Stainless Steel Post Group (Group III) (n = 15). In all Groups except control group, post space was prepared; a post was cemented, and a core build-up was provided. All the specimens were subjected to compressive force under a universal testing machine until fracture. Statistical analysis used: The results were analyzed using the variable analysis test (ANOVA). Results: One-way analysis of variance revealed significant difference among test groups. The control group demonstrated highest fracture resistance (925.2183 N), followed by the resin fiber post group (486.7265 N) and stainless steel post group (423.539N). Conclusion: Teeth restored with resin fiber post showed higher fracture resistance values than prefabricated stainless steel post.

Abstract

Diagnosis of vertical ischolar_main fracture in an endodontically treated tooth presents with various difficulties. The diagnosis of such a fracture is a challenge to the clinician since it is based on subjective parameters. There are, however, many specific clinical and radiographical signs which, when present, can alert clinicians to the existence of such a fracture. Various methods to clinically diagnose vertical ischolar_main fracture include conventional methods such as illumination, periodontal probing, staining, direct visual examination and newer techniques such as cone beam computed tomography, optical coherence tomography. Themanagement of a vertical ischolar_main fracture has always been considered a difficult task for the endodontist. This article provides an insight into the various methods of diagnosis and treatment strategies for the vertical ischolar_main fracture.

Abstract

The last decade has been witness to phenomenal growth in endodontic technology. The introduction of these new technologies has resulted in endodontics becoming easier, faster and most importantly, better. NiTi alloys overall are softer than stainless steel, are not heat treatable, have a low modulus of elasticity (about one fourth to one fifth that of stainless steel) but a greater strength, are tougher and more resilient, and show shape memory and superelasticity. The latter two properties are the main reasons why NiTi alloys have succeeded in endodontics. The purpose of this article is to review the design features of different rotary instruments used for pulp space preparation. Important mechanical features include the variability of taper, rake angle, crosssectional geometry, tip configuration, design of blades, helical angle and pitch. These design features influence flexibility, cutting efficiency and safety. In this review, design features of commonly used NiTi rotary systems are summarized.

Abstract

AIM&OBJECTIVE: The main aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of Neem, Curcumin and Aloe vera as an effective intracanal medicament in ischolar_main canal therapy of infected teeth and to determine the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties of these three herbal substances used in the study. MATERIAL AND METHOD: In this study,thirty three patients(33) within the age group of 25-40 years with two single ischolar_mained anterior teeth, presenting with periapical radiolucency requiring endodontic therapy were selected. These 33 patients were divided into two groups, in which one was the test and another was control in one single patient. The control samples were taken from all the 33 patients i.e (33 samples) in which chlorhexidine is used as intracanal medicament, whereas the test groups were divided into another three respective groups with 11 samples in each group on the basis of three herbal intracanal medicaments used in this study. The antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory property was assessed in our study using the microbial colony count method and the Visual analogue pain scale method respectively. RESULTS: Test Group A(Neem) showed the highest antibacterial activity with maximum reduction in microbial colony count scores. and the test Group B(Curcumin) showed the highest anti-inflammatory activity with maximum reduction in the VAS pain score. On comparing test groups with control group and antimicrobial property was analyzed. The results were statistically non-significant when Group A(Neem) was compared with Control group(Chlorhexidine) and statistically significant when Group B(Curcumin) and Group C(Aloe vera) was compared with Chlorhexidine.

Abstract

Nickel titanium rotary shaping files fundamentally changed everything in endodontics; conceptually, procedurally and economically as well. NiTi rotary files made ischolar_main canal therapy more accessible and kind of fun for dentists, and dental companies were loved for making files that cost four times more than stainless steel hand files but delivered a ten times improvement. The single file systems need no disinfecting, cleaning, sterilizing and organizing the NiTi files, provide optimal cutting efficiency along with better control of file breakage and thus increased patient safety and no risk for cross contamination.
