Abstract This study evaluated the effect of the use of glass ionomer cement (GIC) and flowable bulk-fill resin composite (BFRC) for filling pulp chambers and the type of high-speed handpiece light used on dentin removal during access preparation for endodontic retreatment in molar teeth. Twenty maxillary molars were treated endodontically. BFRC (Opus Bulk Fill Flow APS, FGM) was used to fill the pulp chamber and replace coronal dentin (n = 10). In the remaining teeth, the pulp chamber was filled with GIC (Maxion R, FGM). Conventional resin composite (Opallis, FGM) was used to restore the enamel layer in all teeth. The samples in each group were divided into two subgroups, and the root canals were reaccessed using a handpiece with white or ultraviolet light. The teeth were scanned using micro-CT before and after root canal reaccess. The dentin volume removed was calculated and analyzed using 2-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s test (α = 0.05). The crown and pulp chamber locations with dentin removal are described using frequency distribution. During the access, fewer pulp chamber walls were affected and a lower volume of dentin was removed from the pulpal floor in the group restored with GIC than in the group restored with BFRC. No effect was observed on the coronal dentin walls with respect to the filling protocols and type of light used. For dentin removal from the pulp chamber, handpieces with white light performed better than those with ultraviolet light, irrespective of the filling protocol used. The use of GIC to fill the pulp chamber and use of white handpiece light reduced dentin removal from the pulpal floor and resulted in fewer affected dentin walls.

Objective: this study evaluated the ability of rotary (ProTaper-Retreatment and Mtwo-Retreatment) and reciprocating (Reciproc and WaveOne) systems in maintaining the original shape of the canal after root canal retreatment. Material and Methods: forty curved resin blocks with simulated root canals were prepared and filled. After that, each block was randomly assigned to 4 groups (n = 10) according to the retreatment system used. Stereomicroscopic images from each block were taken before and after retreatment procedures. Evaluation of canal transportation was obtained for all canal length and for 2 independent canal regions: straight and curved parts. ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test was used (P<0.05). Results: for all canal length ProTaper-Retreatment system showed lowest transportation values followed by Reciproc, MTwo-Retreatment and WaveOne systems (P <0.01). At the straight part, ProTaper-Retreatment system produced the lowest canal transportation followed by Reciproc and MTwo-Retreatment systems (P < 0.05); at the curved part, ProTaper-Retreatment and Reciproc systems produced the lowest canal transportation followed by MTwo-Retreatment system (P < 0.05). The WaveOne system resulted in the highest transportation values at both canal parts (P < 0.05). Conclusion: overall, ProTaper-Retreatment system produced less canal transportation in both portions of the simulated canals than the others systems tested after retreatment procedures.

This study aimed to compare the canal transportation and canal centering ability in the preparation of curved root canals after instrumentation with TruNatomy (TN) (TN; Dentsply Sirona, Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) and ProTaper Gold (PG) (PG; Dentsply, Tulsa Dental Specialties, Tulsa, OK, USA) files using cone‑beam computed tomography (CBCT). 30 Single rooted extracted human teeth with root curvature ranging from 20-30° according to Schneider’s method were selected. Teeth with any visible cracks or fractures, calcifications, previous root canal treatments were excluded. The teeth were randomly assigned into two groups i.e. Group 1-TN and Group 2-PG (n = 15 each). The teeth were instrumented according to manufacturer’s guidelines for both the groups. Canals were scanned using a CBCT scanner before and after preparation to evaluate the transportation and centering ratio at 3 mm, 5 mm, and 7 mm from the apex. The data analysis was done using SPSS software and the test used was independent sample t test for comparison between the 2 groups.Data obtained suggested that TN group presented lesser canal transportation at the middle third of the root. The PG group showed better centering abitily at apical third of the root canal when both the groups were compared. TN resulted in less transportation than PG at the middle third, and PG showed better centering ability at the apical third. Overall, both systems safely prepared root canals, causing minimal errors.

Introduction. Inadequate root canal preparation and obturation are potential causes of endodontic failure. Failed root canal treatment with intrinsic discoloration requires root canal re-treatment and intracoronal bleaching. Due to the extensive loss of hard tissues on occlusal area, the restoration requires intracanal retention with short fiber-reinforced composite. Case report. A 17-year-old male patient came to the Clinic of Conservative Dentistry Dental Hospital Prof. Soedomo. He reported pain and discomfort on maxillary first premolar while chewing after root canal procedure had been performed few months before. He felt unconvinience with the discoloration happened on those tooth. Patient had endodontic treatment one year ago and the tooth was restored with glass ionomer cement. Objective examination showed glass ionomer restoration was still in good condition, the tooth was sensitive to percussion but not to palpation, and showed no mobility. Periapical radiograph showed incomplete obturation with radioluscent around periapical region. Retreatment followed by intracoronal bleaching was performed under rubber dam isolation. Tooth was restored with short fiber reinforced composite and composite resin. After 3 month, patient was recalled for examine the previous sign and symptomps. Periapical radiograph showed diameter of periapical lesion was smaller and tooth functioned normally. Conclusion. Root canal retreatment and intracoronal bleaching are suitable options for teeth with failed root canal treatment and intrinsic discoloration

ABSTRACTObjectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiographic quality of root canal fillings performed by first and second clinical year dental students at the Faculty of Dentistry in Süleyman Demirel University, Turkey. Methods: The technical quality of 833 root canal fillings was evaluated by three examiners according to the density of the filling and the distance between the end of the filling and the radiographic apex. A root canal with acceptable filling length and homogeneous root filling was defined as being good quality endodontic work (GQEW). A treated tooth was defined as having good quality endodontic work tooth (GQEW-T) when all its canals had a GQEW rating. Results: A Chi-square (χ2) test at the 0.05 significance level was used for the statistical analysis of the data. Of a total of 833 root canals, 662 (79.47%) root fillings were classed as GQEW. Two hundred fifty canals (73.4%) (135 teeth) treated by first clinical year dental students were defined as GQEW-T while 412 canals (204 teeth) (73.9%) treated by second clinical year dental students were defined as GQEW-T (P>.05). Most of the GQEW-T were defined in anterior teeth (90.1%), whereas the fewest were in molar teeth (46.6%) for both first and second clinical year dental students (P<.001). Conclusions: The quality of root canal fillings in anterior teeth performed by undergraduate dental students in Isparta, Turkey was satisfactory. However, to improve the success with molar teeth, education about newer techniques and instruments must be incorporated into the preclinical and clinical curriculum. (Eur J Dent 2011;5:324-330)

In recent years, we have seen more and more interest in the field of medical images and shape comparison motivated by the latest advances in microcomputed tomography (μCT) acquisition, modelling, and visualization technologies. Usually, biologists need to evaluate the effect of different root canal preparation systems. Current root canal preparation evaluation methods are based on the volume difference, area difference, and transportation of two root canals before and after treatment. The purpose of root canal preparation is to minimize the volume difference and ensure the complete removal of the smear layer. Previous methods can reflect some general geometric differences, but they are not enough to evaluate the quality of root canal shape. To solve this problem, we proposed a novel root canal evaluation method based on spectrum and eigenfunctions of Steklov operators, which can be served as a better alternative to current methods in root canal preparation evaluation. Firstly, the ideal root canal model was simulated according to the root canal model before and after preparation. Secondly, the Steklov spectrum of the two models was calculated. Thirdly, based on the spectrum and the histogram of the Gaussian curvature on the surface, the weight of each eigenvalue was computed. Therefore, the Steklov spectrum distance (SSD), which measures shape difference between the root canals, was defined. Finally, the calculation method that quantifies the root canal preparation effect of root canals was obtained. Through experiments, our method manifested high robustness and accuracy compared with existing state-of-the-art approaches. It also demonstrates the significance of our algorithm’s advantages on a variety of challenging root canals through result comparison with counterpart methods.

ABSTRACT Introduction The study aimed to compare the shaping and preservation of the original curvature of simulated curved root canals using the following instruments: Reciproc (Rcp), WaveOne (Wo), and the ProTaper Next system (Ptn). Materials and methods A total of 45 resin blocks with simulated curved root canals were divided into three groups (n = 15), prepared using the Rcp (R25), Wo (25/0.8), and Ptn (X2) instruments. Standardized photographs were taken before and after canal instrumentation. After the superimposition of the images, the amount of resin removed from the curvature's inner and outer walls was measured at six apical levels, at intervals of 1 mm. The canals’ angles of curvature before and after instrumentation were subtracted. Results There were no significant differences between the instruments in terms of the total amount of resin removed of the inner or outer walls of the apical curvature (p > 0.05). The Rcp instruments provided the best resin removed ratios between the walls. The means of the change in angle were as follows: Wo = 2.15°, Ptn = 0.92°, and Rcp = 0.21°. WaveOne caused significantly higher deviations than Rcp. Conclusion All of the instruments demonstrated a tendency to straighten the simulated root canal. Instruments that use rotary movement achieved an effect similar to that of the reciprocating instruments in relation to change in angle. Clinical significance Deviations from the original shape of the root canal could have a negative impact on the quality of a filling and consequently on the success of the endodontic treatment.

Application of ultrasonic treatment combined with conventional methods of endodontic treatment contributes to reduce the cases of relapses and the time of treatment, and causes the highest economic effect. The proposed method allows to successfully treating chronic granulating periodontitis and to save the need for prosthetics abutment teeth. The purpose of this study is to increase the effectiveness of treatment of granulating periodontitis by optimizing antiseptic treatment of root canals by means of ultrasound. In a series of studies the material of the examination and treatment of patients in the therapeutic department «Lipetsk municipal dental polyclinic №2» was examined. The basis for receiving scientific data – contingent of 127 patients from 26 to 51 years with granulating form of chronic periodontitis, of these were 83 women and 44 men. Depending on the tactics of the treatment the patients were divided into two groups: the 1st group – 43 patients who were treated by the traditional method of treatment of periodontitis; the 2nd group – 84 persons were treated by means of ultrasound. Clinical examination of patients included visual diagnostics, sensing, thermometry, percussion, determination of conductivity of the tooth pulp, radiovisiographic and x-ray study. It is established, that after use of a 3% solution of sodium hypochlorite the changes are observed not qualitative composition of the microflora, but quantitative. The methods of ultrasonic treatment of chronic granulating periodontitis are developed. The ultrasound effect on the microflora of each root channel is conducted during 30 seconds with the frequency of 30 kHz. The structure of the dentin of the root canal with the help of scanning electronic microscopy, before and after the influence of ultrasound is studied and described. After exposure to 3% of sodium hypochlorite, activated by ultrasound, on the wall of the root canal by granulating periodontitis the growth of microorganisms didn’t revealed in 94,8% of cases.
