Effectiveness of Microwave Disinfection on Gutta Percha Cones Against - .

Background: Non-metallic dental materials like Gutta percha cones, ceramic crowns, endodontic posts are widely used material for the obturation of root canals, placement of post, crown and it is usually distributed by the manufacturers in sealed containers. Once exposed to dental environment or by handling and storage, there are more chances of getting contaminated by various microorganisms. The success of endodontic therapy depends on maintaining the aseptic condition throughout the procedure.

Massive Osteolysis of the Mandible in Gorham's Disease: Our Case Experience.

Vanishing bone disease is an exceptionally rare condition marked by the progressive loss of bone, ultimately leading to its complete disappearance. The cause of this disease remains unknown, and it primarily affects the axial skeleton, pelvis, and humerus. Due to its atypical presentation and rarity, it is often mistaken for other disorders, making an accurate diagnosis challenging and typically a process of elimination.

Comparative Evaluation of the Effects of Calcium Hydroxide Intracanal Medicament and Antibiotic Paste on Dentin Microhardness: A Systematic Review.

An infectious environment is reported to hinder the process of pulp tissue regeneration by damaging the cells responsible for tissue formation, including stem cells in the periapical tissues. Therefore, a sterile environment is critical for pulp tissue regeneration, which can be achieved by copious irrigation and intracanal medicament (ICM) placement. This systematic review compares the effect of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)) and various antibiotic pastes, such as triple antibiotic paste (TAP), modified triple antibiotic paste (MTAP), and double antibiotic paste (DAP),on dentin microhardness when used as ICMs.

Efficacy of Chitosan Scaffolded Calcium Silicate-based Cements for Treating Internal Resorption Defects with Perforation: Study.

Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of chitosan scaffold combined with calcium silicate cements in the management of internal resorption with perforation.

Materials And Methods: Internal resorption cavities were simulated in 20 human permanent maxillary incisors that were then divided into two groups: group I - biodentine and group II - chitosan scaffold combined with biodentine. The samples were evaluated for the mineralization activity at the end of the 7th day and 14th day using scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) analysis.
