1. Análise da desinfecção apical do canal radicular preparado em três diferentes comprimentos de trabalho, utilizando movimento rotatório contínuo ou reciprocante e duas substâncias irrigadoras: estudo in vitro

Resumo Introdução O preparo do canal radicular, em especial o terço apical, é fundamental para o sucesso da terapia endodôntica, pois abriga o forame radicular, local que comunica o endodonto com os tecidos perirradiculares. Objetivo A presente pesquisa avaliou a contaminação do terço apical após a instrumentação de canais radiculares em três c

3. Nickel–titanium instruments in endodontics: a concise review of the state of the art

Abstract: The introduction of automated instrumentation in endodontics represented a major advance in progress for this specialty, with improvements in the quality and predictability of root canal preparation and a significant reduction in procedural errors. In recent years, endodontic instruments have undergone a series of changes brought about by modificat

4. Unprepared root canal surface areas: causes, clinical implications, and therapeutic strategies

Abstract: Chemomechanical preparation is intended to clean, disinfect, and shape the root canal. This step is of utmost importance during treatment of infected teeth with apical periodontitis, because treatment outcome depends on how effectively the clinician eliminates bacteria, their products, and necrotic tissue that would serve as substrate for bacterial

5. Noncontact three-dimensional evaluation of surface alterations and wear in NiTi endodontic instruments

Abstract The aim of this study was to undertake a qualitative and quantitative assessment of nanoscale alterations and wear on the surfaces of nickel-titanium (NiTi) endodontic instruments, before and after use, through a high-resolution, noncontact, three-dimensional optical profiler, and to verify the accuracy of the evaluation method. Cutting blade surfac

6. Effect of ultrasound streaming on the disinfection of flattened root canals prepared by rotary and reciprocating systems

Abstract New technical and scientific developments have been advocated to promote the success of the endodontic treatment. In addition to rotary and reciprocating systems, irrigating solution agitation has been suggested and passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) is the most used. Objective: To evaluate, in vitro, the effect of ultrasound streaming (US) in the

7. Effect of rewetting solutions on micropush-out dentin bond strength of new bioceramic endodontic material

Abstract To evaluate the influence of rewetting solutions on bond strength to root dentin of conventional gutta-percha (GP) or niobium phosphate glass-based gutta-percha (GNb) associated with a bioceramic sealer. The root canals of 80 human mandibular premolars were prepared using nickel-titanium instruments and irrigation with sodium hypochlorite and EDTA.

8. A finite element study on the mechanical behavior of reciprocating endodontic files

AIM: To evaluate the mechanical behavior of reciprocating endodontic files, comparing nickel-titanium NiTi and stainless steel 316L St.St. 316L as manufacturing material for such instruments. METHODS: A three-dimensional finite element model was designed for this study. The simplified instrument model geometry was created on commercial CAD/CAM software. Rea

9. Effect of endodontic chelating solutions on the bond strength of endodontic sealers

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of various chelating solutions on the radicular push-out bond strength of calcium silicate-based and resin-based root canal sealers. Root canals of freshly-extracted single-rooted teeth (n = 80) were instrumented by using rotary instruments. The specimens were randomly divided into 4 groups accord

10. CT study of the performance of reciprocating and oscillatory motions in flattened root canal areas

Root canal preparation is an important step in endodontic treatment. The anatomical complexity of the middle third of the root compromises the effective cleaning of this area. Thus, advances have been made in instrumentation techniques and instruments for this purpose. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of three different instrumentation syste

11. Bond strength of a calcium silicate-based sealer tested in bulk or with different main core materials

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of a calcium silicate-based sealer (iRoot SP), with or without a core material, on bond strength to radicular dentin, in comparison with various contemporary root filling systems. Root canals of freshly extracted single-rooted teeth (n = 60) were instrumented using rotary instruments. The roots were randoml
