This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of 5 irrigation protocols in removing calcium hydroxide in simulated internal root resorption cavities. Eighteen extracted human teeth, upper anterior and uniradicular, were prepared up to size 50. The teeth were divided longitudinally, and internal root resorption cavities were made by acid demineralization using nitric acid. The same sample was submitted to the five i...
Facial injuries, including bones fractures that comprise them, assume a prominent role in the care of polytrauma patients in general emergencies, often leading to severe psychomotor and social sequelae to those affected. Objective: To survey the victims’ epidemiological data of oral and maxillofacial trauma treated at the Hospital de Base Luis Eduardo Magalhães in Itabuna / BA. Methods: A hundred and eight medi...
Introduction: The understanding of the characteristics of the foraminal diameter contributes to the work of the clinician because it allows a selection of the appropriate instruments for the root canals preparation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the foraminal diameter, in vivo, in upper and lower molar canals and to verify an influence of factors such as age group and pulp and periradicular diagnosis. M...
The aim of the present study was to conduct an integrative review on the mechanical properties of Reciproc Blue and ProDesign R reciprocating systems and the efficacy of these files in removing root filling materials. The search was carried out on the PUBMED using following combinations of scientific terms: Reciproc Blue, ProDesign R, resistance, mechanical properties, thermal treatment and endodontic retreatme...
Objective: Cleaning and shaping of the root canal are important steps in endodontic treatment and may influence the final success of the treatment. The aim of this study was to compare the modeling of the reciprocal instruments Wave One Gold (WOG - Dentisply, Maillefer, Baillagues, Switzerland) and W-File (WF - Shenzlen superfine Technology Co, China) in simulated root canals. Materials and methods: 20 acrylic ...
Treatment of the root canal system (SCR) requires mechanical and chemical techniques to shape, clean and fill the pulp cavity. There are irrigation techniques that enhance the action of irrigants and allow greater access to undesirable substances in the complex system of root canals that are not reached mechanically during the biomechanics of endodontic treatment, thus improving the cleaning and disinfection of...
Instrumentation is a fundamental step in endodontic treatment to promote proper cleaning and shaping of the canal. The objective of this study was to compare the cutting capacity of two reciprocal nickel-titanium systems in simulated canal blocks. Sixty acrylic blocks were used, divided into two groups of reciprocal files (WaveOne Gold - WOG and W-File - WF), each with 30 blocks and divided into 3 groups (n=10)...
