Extraradicular infection and apical mineralized biofilm: a systematic review of...

Background/Objectives: Bacterial biofilms on root surfaces outside the apical foramen are linked to refractory apical periodontitis, as microorganisms can survive in extraradicular areas and cause persistent infections. This study aimed to precisely evaluate the relationship between extraradicular biofilm and persistent periapical periodontitis through an overview of case reports. Methods: A systematic search o...

Factors associated with the prevalence of apical periodontitis: an observationa...

Objectives: Apical periodontitis is a lesion of endodontic origin caused by an immune response to necrotic and infected dental pulp. Since apical periodontitis can persist after endodontic treatment, radiographic diagnosis is crucial. This study evaluates factors associated with the prevalence of apical periodontitis in a Portuguese population using the full-scale periapical index. Methods: A cross-sectional st...

Degree of contamination of gutta-percha points by Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA/M...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is considered one of the most harmful bacteria to human health. Dentistry, like all healthcare disciplines, places great emphasis on preventing scenarios that may result in cross-infection. Although various tested and already used materials are suitable for filling the root canal system, Gutta-Percha (GP) remains the preferred and widely accepted gold standard....

Encerramento de diastemas e desgaste dentário - caso clínico

Introdução: A presença de diastemas e desgastes dentários nos dentes anteriores pode ser esteticamente impactante. As resinas compostas são biomateriais com excelentes características óticas que possibilitam boa integração estética e funcional, permitindo resultados reversíveis e duradouros em pacientes jovens. Descrição do Caso Clínico: Paciente de 16 anos, compareceu na Clínica Dentária Universitária da Unive...

Human Gingival Fibroblasts Response to Different Endodontic Sealers: An In Vitr...

Endodontic treatment aims to eliminate infection of the root canals and fill the dental pulp space. The biocompatibility studies of the sealers used in root canals obturation are crucial since they are applied in direct contact with periradicular tissues. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity of three root canal sealers—AH Plus, Bio MTA+, and Bio C sealer—on immortalized human gingiv...

P7 - Evaluation of extruded material in furcation perforation repair with micro...

Background Furcation perforations are pathological conditions of complex treatment and, currently, bioceramics are good options for furcation perforations repair. The aim of this study was to compare the volume of extruded material with micro-computed tomographic (microCT) after Furcation Perforation (FP) repair with Biodentine (BDT) or ProRoot MTA (prMTA) in dogs’ teeth. Materials and methods Forty dogs’ teeth...
