Introduction: Digital and film-based radiography are the most common methods of working length determination. The objective of this study was to compare the accuracy of working length determination of curved canals using digital and film-based radiography. Materials & Methods: This experimental and interventional study, included forty teeth with curved canals conducted at the Dentistry Faculty of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, in 2018. After access cavity preparation, the direct observation method of the apical tip of the file in the root apex determined the actual working length. Teeth were mounted in acrylic blocks. Canal curvature was calculated based on Schneider’s method using software of indirect digital radiography. Images gathered by E-speed film and digital sensors. A pre-curved file was used to measure the working length of film-based images. In digital radiography, a digital caliper was used to measure the working length with three and six clicks. Data were analyzed by repeated measure analysis, paired t-test, and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient. The Level of significance was set at 0.001. Results: All groups overestimated the actual length although there weren’t any significant differences (p value > 0.05). Paired t-test didn’t show any significant differences between digital and film-based groups (p value > 0.05). Conclusion: Considering several advantages of digital radiography over the film-based method, it is the preferred method for working length determination of curved canals.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to compare the measurements of electronic and radiographic method of working lengths calculation with actual working length of root canals. Precise working length determination is the most important part for successful root canal procedure. The most commonly used methods to determine the working length in root canal treatment are radiography and electronic apex locator. METHODOLOGY: A cross sectional study was done over a period of 06 months in the Department of Operative Dentistry, Fatima Memorial Hospital, Lahore. Sixty patients who were recommended extraction of their premolar teeth with sixty canals were selected by convenience sampling. The Root ZX* apex locator was used to determine electronic working length exactly identifying the apical constriction. Reference points were identified and radiographic working length were determined 1mm short of radiographic apex. The teeth were extracted along with file cemented before extraction inside root canal. The actual length of the root canal was then calculated using the same files and reference point with 3.5X magnification. Pearson chi square test was applied to compare the apex locator and digital radiographic measurement with actual working length. RESULTS: The Root ZX® apex locator was 95% accurate to identify the apical constriction as compared 70% accuracy given by radiographs within 0.5 mm of the apex. CONCLUSION: Electronic apex locator was more accurate as compared to digital radiography in working length determination.

Background: Endotracheal suctioning is one of the common supportive measures in intensive care units (ICU), which may be related to complications such as hypoxia. However, a questionable efficacy is still identified to choose suctioning pressure between 130 mmHg and 140 mmHg that is effective for patients with endotracheal tube.Objective: To compare the effectiveness of 130 mmHg and 140 mmHg suctioning pressure on oxygen saturation in patients with endotracheal tube.Methods: This research used a quasy experimental design with pretest and posttest group. The study was conducted from 31 January to 1 March 2017 in the Hospital of Panti Wilasa Citarum and Hospital of Roemani Muhammadiyah Semarang. There were 30 samples recruited using consecutive sampling, with 15 assigned in the 130 mmHg and 140 mmHg suctioning pressure group. Pulse oximetry was used to measure oxygen saturation. Paired t-test and Independent t-test were used for data analysis.Results: Findings showed that there was a statistically significant effect of 130 and 140 mmHg suctioning pressure on oxygen saturation in patients with ETT with p-value <0.05. There was a significant mean difference of oxygen saturation between 130 mmHg and 140 mmHg suctioning pressure group with p-value 0.004 (<0.05). The mean difference of oxygen saturation between both groups was 13.157.Conclusion: The 140 mmHg suctioning pressure is more effective compared with 130 mmHg suctioning pressure in increasing oxygen saturation in patients with ETT.
