YouTube as an information source for instrument separation in root canal treatment

Once root canal treatment is considered, the treating clinicians must be aware of the real possibility that complications and unforeseen accidents can occur during any stage of the treatment. Complications and accidents may include instrument separation, root perforation on different levels and ledge formation.

Instrument Separation

Aim. During endodontic treatment, dentists may face various unwanted procedural accidents, at any stage of the treatment that might compromise endodontic treatment outcome and bring obstacles to dentists as well. This study aimed to address and analyze several ethical concerns relating to the behavioural conduct of dentists towards endodontic instrument separation as well as perforation of the crown and/or root during root canal treatment in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Method. Hundred and eleven questionnaires were distributed among dentists working in Riyadh in university clinics and government and private sectors. Data were collected, reviewed, and statistically analyzed by Fisher’s exact and chi-square tests at a 5% significance level, using SPSS software. Results. 54.5% of the respondents have encountered instrument separation. 53.2% stated that they would inform the patient about the instrument separation. 43.6% of the respondents had experienced perforation during root canal treatment, and 54.9% reported that they would inform the patient of the accident. Conclusion. Within the limitation of this survey, we concluded that most of the dental professionals did not hesitate to adhere to the correct ethical conduct, and they would inform the patient if an incident occurred.

Rotating Blade

The biological objectives of root canal treatment have not changed over the recentdecades, but the methods to attain these goals have been greatly modified. Theintroduction of NiTi rotary files represents a major leap in the development ofendodontic instruments, with a wide variety of sophisticated instruments presentlyavailable (1, 2).Whatever their modification or improvement, all of these instruments have onething in common: they consist of a metal core with some type of rotating blade thatmachines the canal with a circular motion using flutes to carry the dentin chips anddebris coronally. Consequently, all rotary NiTi files will machine the root canal to acylindrical bore with a circular cross-section if the clinician applies them in a strictboring manner

Abstract- - Microorganisms and their by-products are considered to be the major cause of pulp and peri-radicular pathologies, and for the dis-infection of these canals we need proper shaping, cleaning of these canals with mechanical instruments and chemical irrigants. Here we are discussing about the chlorohexidine with a concentration of 2% in root canal treatment. It has been found that there is a highly significant reduction in the number of microorganisms in the chlorhexidine-treated specimens after instrumentation and irrigation. Here we will discuss the merits and de-merits of chlorhexidine and its use in root canal as an irrigant or medicaments.

Fracture Level

A Patient came with the complaint of pain in the lower right back region of the jaw. Root canal treatment was planned. While preparing for the bio-mechanical procedure, the Hand pro taper fractured in the apical third. Iatrogenic occurred as a result of the fracture of the endodontic instrument. Retrieval of the fractured instrument was planned to complete the cleaning and shaping of the canal. The removal of the fractured instrument was planned to be done under the Dental Operating Microscope. The use of an operating microscope enhanced the illumination and the magnification of the instrument. This illumination and magnification helped in the precision of removal. The ultrasonic tip enabled to reach of the fractured instrument in the canal and loosen the dentin around the fractured instrument. It allowed easy retrieval of the fractured instrument. During the retrieval procedure, the fractured instrument was bypassed before the use of the ultrasonic tip. After the removal of the fractured instrument, cleaning and shaping were completed, followed by obturation, definitive restoration, and prosthesis. As the removal of the fractured instrument enabled complete cleaning and shaping, it improved the prognosis of the case. When the endodontic instrument gets fractured, it should be analyzed over the radiograph to assess the fracture level, the anatomy of the root canal, size of the fractured instrument, check accessibility, stage of fracture, etc. If all the above criteria are met with the removal of the instrument only then, replacement should be tried. Otherwise, it may lead to a severe loss of root dentin, decreasing fracture resistance of the root.

<pre>Background : Untreated caries will continue and microorganisms enter the pulp resulting in an inflammatory response and pulp necrosis. Sterilization is one part of root canal treatment and is important for the success of root canal treatment. Stolephorus insularis contains antibacterial substances such as fluor. Previous research showed that extract Stolephorus insularis has antibacterial activity in Streptococcus mutans bacteria.</pre><pre>Purpose : This study aims to determine the antibacterial power of Stolephorus insularis extract on the growth of Staphylococcus aereus bacteria by using 3 concentrations of 18%, 24% and 30%.</pre><pre>Material and Method :This resesarch use culture of Staphylococcus aereus bacteria in MH blood agar, Stolephorus insularis extract with various concentrations (18%, 24%, 30%), 7% Na CMC, 1% DMSO solution, agar BHI media. Culture of Staphylococcus aereus was taken from liquid BHI media, then rubbed on the entire surface of BHI media using a sterile cotton stick. The antibacterial zone formed is measured.</pre><pre> </pre><pre>Result : Based on the results of the Mann-Whitney test there were significant differences in the inhibitory power of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (p <0.05) in the K + group with groups K-, P1, P2 and P3. Whereas between groups P1 with K-, group P2 with K- and P1, and group P3 with K-, P1 and P2 there were no significant differences because the significant value was greater than 0.05</pre><pre>Conclusion : There is no antimicrobial power at concentrations of 18%, 24%, and 30%. Quantitative research needs to be done to determine the decrease in the number of bacterial colonies.</pre> Keywords : Inhibition effect, Stolephorus insularis, Staphylococcus aereus Correspondence : Ayulistya Paramita, Paediatric Departemen.
