Objective This study evaluated the effect of the supplementary use of the XP-endo Finisher on postoperative endodontic pain. Methods This study was a randomized clinical trial with a parallel design. Ninety-two posterior teeth with necrotic pulps and apical periodontitis were instrumented with a single file (Reciproc) in a reciprocating movement f...

Objectives To compare the root filling quality, the sealer extrusion, and the healing rates of apical lesions addressed via two endodontic treatment approaches. The hypothesis tested was that both techniques present similar apical periodontitis healing results. Materials and methods This study was a parallel-design, pragmatic, and randomized clini...

Aim To assess the impact of two canal treatment protocols on the oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) of patients in need of root canal treatment on their anterior teeth. Methodology The sample consisted of 120 participants (mean age: 34 years old) enrolled in a pragmatic randomised clinical trial evaluating two root canal treatment protoc...

This trial assessed post-operative pain and healing of apical periodontitis following endodontic therapy with a reciprocating system compared to a crown-down technique with hand files and lateral compaction filling. One-hundred and twenty nonvital anterior teeth with apical periodontitis were randomly treated using either a reciprocating single fil...

Background: The present study evaluated the coronal discoloration induced by different materials or blood as well as the effect of internal bleaching on discoloration. Methods: After tooth color measurement at baseline with a sphere spectrophotometer (CIE L*a*b*), the root canals of molars were partially filled with white mineral trioxide aggreg...

Objectives: To investigate the survival and failure mode of fiber-post resin restorations over preparations with different ferrule designs when submitted to a fatigue load test. Methods and materials: Fifty bovine incisors were selected and divided into five groups (n=10) according to ferrule design: a no-ferrule group, a 2-mm circumferential fe...

Objective: To compare the outcomes of 2 different bone graft materials: autogenous bone grafts from mandibular symphysis and bovine bone grafts associated with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Methods: Twenty individuals met the inclusion criteria and accepted to participate in the study. Group A patients underwent alveolar bone grafting using autolo...

The relation between orthodontic fixed appliances use and enamel demineralization is well established. Different preventive approaches have been suggested to this problem, but controversy remains about which is the best. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review of clinical trials that investigated the effectiveness of materials cont...

This study determined the effect of the air-stream application time and the bonding technique on the dentin bond strength of adhesives with different solvents. Furthermore, the content and volatilization rate of the solvents contained in the adhesives were also evaluated. Three adhesive systems with different solvents (Stae, SDI, acetone; XP Bond,...

Teeth requiring endodontic treatment commonly have compromised a coronal tooth structure that often requires the use of an intraradicular post to retain the coronal restoration. Although usually successful, catastrophic failures requiring extraction have been reported in the literature. The aim of this systematic review was to analyze clinical tria...
