This in‐vitro study aimed to explore the potential of Diode Laser by quantifying the release of transforming growth factor‐beta 1 (TGF‐β1), platelet‐derived growth factor (PDGF)‐BB, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) from root dentin after ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and diode laser. In 30 hemi‐roots distributed into five grou...

Background Disinfection and dentin conditioning promote a favorable scenario for regenerative endodontic treatment. Clinical reports have confirmed periapical normality with high variability in disinfection protocols; nevertheless, the nature of neoformed tissue varied between them. Thus, this study aimed to present the impact of disinfection proto...

Introduction The presented study aimed to characterise periapical disease in teeth with primary non-surgical root canal treatment in persistent or emergent categories and their risk association. Methods A retrospective observational study that evaluated permanent teeth with primary non-surgical root canal treatment, was conducted clinically and ra...

Objective To identify the effect of two chitosan solutions on the release of root dentin matrix proteins and to describe the chemical changes observed following conditioning with chelating agents. Materials and methods The release of dentin sialoprotein (DSP), transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a...

RESUMEN Introducción: La periodontitis apical (PA) como enfermedad prevalente conecta la salud oral al estado general del individuo. Se pretendió caracterizar bajo un contexto epidemiológico integral la presencia de PA en una población de una clínica de Odontosánitas en Bogotá. Materiales y métodos: Este estudio transversal incluyó registro retrosp...

To estimate the degree of concordance and consistency in the radiographic and tomographic evaluation of the periapical area. A study of diagnostic tests was designed. Three blind evaluators analyzed radiographic images, which were selected at two different points in time. An oral radiologist and an endodontist determined the second observation mome...

Aims: To compare the effect of CS and CSnp on the wettability in root dentine with other irrigation protocols with an experimental in vitro model prior regenerative endodontics. Methods and Material. An in vitro experimental study that included eighty hemisected human root distributed into 8 groups: G1- distilled water; G2- 1% NaOCl/17% EDTA; G3-...

One aspect of special concern in endodontics is the effect of irrigating solutions on the biomechanical properties of dentine. A systematic review of in vitro studies was conducted to analyze and systematize the effect of endodontic irrigating solutions on biomechanical properties in noninstrumented dentine, according to published in vitro studies....

To assess the previous periapical status and the quality of root canal filling as predictors of the outcome in initial non-surgical endodontic procedures. A retrospective cohort study was designed in which the presence of a previous periapical lesion was determined radiographically. The quality of the root filling was evaluated in terms of homogene...

Background: This nested case-control study can be viewed as an efficient way to sample subjects from a large cohort study case-control study aimed to analyze the effect of different clinical factors on the appearance of vertical root fractures in endodontically-treated teeth (ETT) over time. Material and methods: By matching 90 cases and 270 con...

Introduction: in Colombia, persisting post-endodontic disease has been reported by up to 45%, validating the use of secondary alternative therapies, like endodontic microsurgery (EM). The aim of this study was to systematically—and with reliable scientific evidence—develop de Novo Clinical Practice Guidelines for the surgical endodontic management...

Objetivo: caracterizar la enfermedad periapical posterior al tratamiento endodóntico primario realizado en una cohorte de individuos asistentes a las clínicas de la Especialidad en Endodoncia de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia. Métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional retrospectivo en una muestra de 232 dientes...

Aim: The prevalence of vertical root fractures (VRF) ranges from 2% to 20%, and is associated with endodontically-treated teeth (ETT). The aim of the present study was to analyze clinically and radiographically, at different intervals of time, some of the risk factors present in ETT that developed VRF. Methods: A classification model according t...

The prevalence of recurrent periapical lesions has been reported between 43 and 65%, endodontic microsurgery (EM) is an alternative treatment option of recurrent periapical lesions. Aim: the aim of the present study was to systematically quantify the effects of the association “clinical factors/follow-up period” on EM outcomes. Methodology: Two res...

No hay evidencia clínica para afirmar que 4-5mm es la longitud aceptada del remanente de obturación endodóntica en dientes restaurados con retenedor intraradicular (RI). Objetivo: Estimar la relación entre el remanente del material de obturación endodóntica en dientes restaurados con RI y la condición periapical post-tratamiento bajo observación en...

INTRODUCCIÓN:el correcto diagnóstico en endodoncia permite la selección de un tratamiento endodóntico adecuado. Los términos utilizados para la nominación de cada patología, deben asociarse a las condiciones clínicas particulares. La unificación de la terminología diagnóstica en endodoncia ha sido un tema ampliamente discutido en el ámbito clínico...
