Vital Pulp Therapy in Permanent Mature Posterior Teeth with Symptomatic Irrever...
Santos, João Miguel; Pereira, Joana F.; Marques, Andréa; Sequeira, Diana B.; Friedman, ShimonBackground and Objectives: Symptomatic irreversible pulpitis in permanent mature teeth is a common indication for nonsurgical root canal treatment (NSRCT), but contemporary studies have reported on vital pulp therapy (VPT) applied in such teeth as a less invasive treatment. This systematic review assessed the outcomes of VPT, including partial and full pulpotomy performed with hydraulic calcium silicate cements...
Periapical Inflammation Affecting Coronally-inoculated Dog Teeth with Root Fill...
Mah, Terence; Basrani, Bettina; Santos, João M.; Pascon, Elizeu A.; Tjäderhane, Leo; Yared, Ghassan; Lawrence, Herenia P.; Friedman, ShimonPlacement of orifice plugs has been suggested to augment the seal of conventional root canal fillings. This study assessed in vivo the efficacy of white mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) plugs in preventing periapical inflammation subsequent to coronal inoculation of root-filled teeth. The two-rooted mandibular premolars of six beagle dogs were conventionally prepared and filled with gutta-percha and sealer. A w...

Basrani, Bettina; Santos, J. Miguel; Tjäderhane, Leo; Grad, Helen; Gorduysus, Omer; Huang, Junfu; Lawrence, Herenia P.; Friedman, ShimonObjective. The aim of this in vitro study was to assess the substantive antimicrobial activity of different medicaments in human root dentin. Study Design. Canals of 98 roots were enlarged to standard size and medicated for 7 days with the following: (1) 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) gel, (2) 0.2% CHX gel, (3) 2% CHX solution, (4) Ca(OH)2, (5) Ca(OH)2+ 0.2% CHX gel, (6) 2% CHX solution + a 25% CHX-containing controlle...
