Self-confidence level assessment in newly graduated students is very important to evaluate the undergraduate endodontic courses. Objective: The aim of this study was to get information from internship dentists in Alfarabi dental college related to their confidence levels during root canal treatment procedures.Methods: Anonymous survey forms were sent to 150 internship dentists in Alfarbi dental college. They were asked to indicate their self-confidence level by Lickert’s scoring system ranging between 1 and 5.Results: Removal of broken instruments was determined as a procedure that was not experienced by 25.2% of the dentists. (44.6%) of dentists felt confident about taking radiographs during root canal treatment. 1.9 % of them reported as having very little confidence during retreatment. The irrigation was a procedure in which they felt very confident about (59.2%).Conclusion: The non-practiced endodontic procedure was clearly related to levels of self confidence among internship dentists; this means; a lot of studies in dental school should be performed to determine the weakness points or gaps in undergraduate endodontic courses.

Retrospective Assessment

ABSTRACT Introduction A thorough knowledge of the anatomic morphology of the root canal system is necessary for the long-term success of the root canal therapy. The occurrence of C-shaped root canal configuration is one such variation. Achievement of favorable prognosis after commencing root canal therapy in such teeth is one of the challenges imposed on the endodontist. Hence, we evaluated the healing occurring after endodontic therapy in patients with C-shaped root canals in mandibular molars. Materials and methods The present study was conducted in the Department of Conservative Dentistry of the institution and included assessment of all the patients who underwent root canal treatment of the mandibular first and second molars. Endodontic therapy was performed in all the cases by experienced endodontist. Final postoperative radiographs were taken. Recording of the data of the personal and clinical details of a total of 250 patients was done. All the clinical and radiographic details of the patients, such as tooth location in the jaw, presence or absence of C-shaped canals, status of the pulp tissue, presence or absence of the fractures, and other details of the patients were recorded. Radiographic and clinical examination of the tooth of the patients was done during the baseline visit and further during the follow-up visits. The presence of C-shaped root canals was confirmed using the radiographs. Periapical index (PI) scoring system was used. Categories defined for enlisting the healing after the root canal treatment with the assessment of the PI score. All the results were analyzed by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software. Results Vital pulp tissue was encountered in majority of the cases. C-shaped root canal configuration was observed in 40% of the cases included in the present study. After completion of the endodontic therapy, complete crown placement was done in only 22% of the cases. In cases of vital teeth with C-shaped root canals configuration, most of the teeth showed complete healing. Significant results were obtained while comparing the complete coverage crown parameter in relation to the healing process in teeth with C-shaped root canals. Conclusion In the present study, no significant effect of the C-shaped root canal configuration was found on the healing rate of the endodontic therapy in mandibular molars. Clinical significance Meticulous endodontic therapy with special techniques should be done while preparing teeth with C-shaped root canals.

The primary objective of root canal treatment is the ability to remove irritants, to clean, shape and fill the root canal system three-dimensionally and prevent recontamination from bacterial irritants. Various Obturation techniques used for filling the root canals include lateral condensation, vertical compression, and thermoplastic gutta-percha techniques. The retrospective study aimed to evaluate the various obturation techniques used in mandibular molars. For this retrospective study data collection was based on patient records of Saveetha Dental College, Chennai and consisted of a total of 1903 cases evaluated based on the obturation technique within the time frame of 10th June 2019 to 1st March 2020. In this study, the obturation technique was evaluated based on the patients age, gender, procedure and based on the tooth in which obturation was done. Inclusion criteria consisted of the tooth that underwent endodontic treatment in patients within the age group of 18 to 60 yrs, a tooth with irreversible pulpal disease or chronic apical periodontitis, permanent tooth and mandibular molars. Exclusion criteria consisted of patients above 60 years, primary tooth, teeth in which root canal treatment was not undertaken, teeth with the presence of huge periapical lesions, severely calcified canals etc., severe periodontal disease, teeth apart from mandibular molars. All the values were then statistically analysed. In this study, 1930 patients (848 are females, and 1055 were males with a mean age of 24 years) were included. It was observed in this retrospective study that there was a significant difference between the various types of obturation technique used in mandibular molars. Matched single cone obturation technique was the preferred technique of obturation in the majority of the cases (62.4%). Single cone obturation technique has advantages over other techniques of obturation due to the fewer stress forces implied apically, thereby preventing an excess of sealer extrusion.

Root canal treatment in mandibular canine with two canals in one root. The aim is to highlight the anatomical variation in the mandibular canine. This case report is presented to illustrate the anatomical variation in the human mandibular canine. Endodontic treatment may sometimes fail because morphological features of the tooth adversely affect the treatment procedures. Many investigators have reported the anatomical variations associated with the mandibular canines. This paper describes a mandibular canine with one root and two canals. KEY WORDS: Canine, canals, anatomy, two canals, endodontics.

ABSTRACT Introduction Postoperative pain is a major concern for patients undergoing root canal treatment. Much research has gone into the alteration of several variables to determine the elusive technique that will result in no postoperative pain. Aim The aim of our study was to investigate the incidence, severity, and duration of postoperative pain in relation to technique of root canal preparation and compare the difference in incidence, severity, and duration of postoperative pain in single- and two-sitting root canal therapy when different instrumentation techniques are used. Materials and methods Sixty adult patients requiring root canal therapy were selected and divided into six groups. Singlesitting root canal treatment was carried out in three groups, with three different canal preparation methods (group I – Conventional hand files, group II – hand ProTaper files, and group III – rotary ProTaper files). Two-sitting root canal treatment was carried out in three groups, with the same canal preparation methods (group IV – conventional hand files, group V – hand ProTaper files, and group VI – rotary ProTaper files). Postoperatively, the subjects were instructed to fill out a series of self-report questionnaires for pain incidence after 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 1 week, and 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, the patients were recalled and their responses were duly noted. Results Results were tabulated and statistically analyzed using Mann–Whitney U test. Conclusion There was a significant difference in incidence, character, and duration of postoperative pain in rotary-prepared canals as compared with hand-prepared canals in both singleand two-sitting endodontics. Clinical significance The purpose of this study was to search for a predictability in incidence, duration, and character of postoperative pain in canals instrumented with hand and rotary instruments. Knowing this will enable clinicians to make more prudent choices in instruments, techniques, and protocols for root canal therapy. How to cite this article Bhagwat S, Sheth N, Padhye L.
