Pulp revascularization of immature dog teeth with apical periodontitis.

The relationship of root canal enlargement to finger-spreader induced vertical root fracture

Because there are several ways to cement glass-fiber posts (GFPs) into root canals, there is no consensus on the best strategy to achieve high bond strengths. A systematic review was conducted to determine if there is difference in bond strength to dentin between regular and self-adhesive resin cements and to verify the influence of several variables on the retention of GFPs. This report followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. In vitro studies that investigated the bond strength of GFPs luted with self-adhesive and regular resin cements were selected. Searches were carried out in the PubMed and Scopus databases. No publication year or language limit was used, and the last search was done in October 2012. A global comparison was performed between self-adhesive and regular resin cements. Two subgroup analyses were performed: 1) Self-adhesive × Regular resin cement + Etch-and-rinse adhesive and 2) Self-adhesive × Regular resin cement + Self-etch adhesive. The analyses were carried out using fixed-effect and random-effects models. The results showed heterogeneity in all comparisons, and higher bond strength to dentin was identified for self-adhesive cements. Although the articles included in this meta-analysis showed high heterogeneity and high risk of bias, the in vitro literature seems to suggest that use of self-adhesive resin cement could improve the retention of GFPs into root canals.

The role of resin cement on bond strength of glass-fiber posts luted into root canals: a systematic review and meta-analysis of in vitro studies.

Most endodontically treated teeth require a post-and-core build-up for restoring the teeth to optimum health and function. Selection of an appropriate post-and-core system from the wide variety of those available may be a clinical dilemma. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to review the literature to identify the various factors that influence the selection of the post-and-core assembly. English-language peer-reviewed articles between 1961 and 2002 were identified using MEDLINE, as well as a hand search. The following key words were used: post, design, retention, fracture resistance, survivability, and esthetics. Selection of a post and core system should satisfy many interrelated biologic, mechanical, and esthetic factors to optimally restore the endodontically treated tooth to adequate form and function. This review may serve as a guide to aid the clinician in the selection of a post-and-core system.

Influence of Continuous or Reciprocating Motion on Cyclic Fatigue Resistance of 4 Different Nickel-Titanium Rotary Instruments

Statement of problem. Recently introduced single-step bonding agents reduce the number of steps involved in the bonding process. Nevertheless, there are few studies on the bond strengths obtained with these new systems. Purpose. This in vitro study evaluated the shear bond strength of a titanium-reinforced cores bonded with 5 multistep bonding systems (ScotchBond Multi-Purpose, OptiBond, All Bond-2, Tenure, and ProBond) and 5 single-step bonding systems (Single-Bond, OptiBond Solo, One-Step, Tenure Quik, and Prime & Bond 2.1). Material and methods. The experiment was divided into 10 groups with 10 specimens per group. The shear bond strengths were evaluated after 24 hours on an MTS universal testing machine with a crosshead speed of 6.35 mm/minute. Results. A 2-way ANOVA showed that All Bond-2 and One-Step recorded the highest means and differed significantly from the Den-Mat systems (Tenure AB80:307-10.)

A releasable magnetic retention device having two opposed substantially like units each of which has a relatively small permanent magnet of opposed poles, one pole of which is utilized with a conductor of low coercivity material to form a larger magnetic flux field in the conductor so that when the two like units are placed in magnetic attracting relation the two conductors complete a strong enlarged magnetic flux path between them to releasably retain the units together.

Purpose The purpose of this investigation was to examine the tear strength of four irreversible hydrocolloid (alginate) impression materials (Tare-Free Alg, Jeltrate, Identic, and Kromopan).



Materials and Methods Eighty specimens, 20 for each alginate tested, were according to the manufacturers' instructions. A cutting die described in American Standard Test and Material document D-1004-94a was used to prepare test specimens. Immediately after removal from the cutting die, test specimens were measured at five points with an electronic caliper. Test specimens were placed into a specialized jig, and a Shimpo force gauge was used to measure tear strength. The tear test was performed no more than 10 minutes after mixing the alginate material with water. The tear strength was then calculated. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the mean force required to induce tearing for each of the four groups, followed by the Newman-Keuls pairwise multiple comparisons test.



Results Results were considered statistically significant at p < .05. There was a statistically significant difference between alginate materials (p < .0001). The Newman-Keuls multiple comparisons procedure showed that Tare-Free Alg (514.5 g/cm) had a significantly higher tear strength value (p < .0001) than Jeltrate (259.0 g/cm), Identic (289.9 g/cm), and Kromopan (323.9 g/cm).



Conclusions Tara-Free Alg had the highest tear strength value, followed by Jeltrate, Identic, and Kromopan.

Tear strength of four irreversible hydrocolloid impression materials

Certain irrigants leave antimicrobial residues on dentine. This study assessed if residues from MTAD, Endo-CHX, Peridex Oral Rinse or 6% NaOCl were inactivated by exposure to simulated leakage. Extracted teeth (15/group) were cut and drilled to produce a cylindrical canal space. They were irrigated, dried with paper points and transferred into 1 mL of simulated leakage (Enterococcus faecalis in tryptic soy broth) every 24 h. After one, two or three transfers, the number of colony forming units was measured by drilling the canal space and recovering the dentine shavings in antimicrobial-inactivating broth. Two-way anova of the log-transformed data showed irrigation method, leakage volume and their interaction were significant factors (P < 0.001). Compared with the positive control, the logarithmic reductions in the number of E. faecalis colonies after the first and third millilitre of leakage were: Endo-CHX 6.2 and 2.4; MTAD 3.4 and 2.7; Peridex 1.6 and 0.4; NaOCl 1.0 and 0.0.

A dental support structure for crown restoration which may be screwed into a hollow dental implant. The support structure has a stem which is adapted to receive a crown and which is moveable along the axis of the support structure in resistance to spring pressure and whose axis may tilt without substantial resistance from said spring pressure.
