Objective The aim was to evaluate the influence of multiple factors on the periapical status of endodontically treated (ET) teeth. Methods The patients were clinically and radiographically reevaluated after root canal therapy. The quality of the root-filled canals, coronal restorations, intraradicular posts, dental caries, and periodontal paramete...

Resumo Os novos materiais restauradores em desenvolvimento devem evitar danos aos tecidos dentários. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a biocompatibilidade de uma marca comercial de cimento de ionômero de vidro convencional (CIV) modificado com microfibras de celulose (CIV+MC) ou nanocristais de celulose (CIV+NC) através da implantação...

Cyst-like periapical lesions should be treated initially with conservative nonsurgical procedures. In this case series, we describe the clinical and radiographic outcomes of large cyst-like lesions that were treated by orthograde decompression and long-term intracanal use of calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] mixed with 2% chlorhexidine digluconate. Ten c...

Background and objective: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) can to eliminate microorganisms in root canal. However, the parameters for disinfection remain undefined. This study assessed the effectiveness of a PDT protocol against intracanal Enterococcus faecalis biofilms. Materials and methods: Root canals were contaminated with Enterococcus faecalis f...

This case report describes successful apexification for a challenging case involving a 30-year-old man, who suffered from dental trauma involving tooth No. 7 (which had occurred several years earlier) and recently experienced acute periapical abscess in this region. Radiographic analysis revealed incomplete root formation, a wide-open apex, thin ro...

Endodontic treatment of teeth with perforating internal root resorption represents a clinical challenge. In most cases, extraction of the tooth and subsequent replacement with an osseointegrated implant is indicated. Presented herein is a case report of a maxillary lateral incisor with advanced perforating internal root resorption in the middle thi...

The aim of this study was to radiographically evaluate the relationship between the quality parameters of root canal fillings (apical extension, homogeneity, and taper) and periapical status. In addition, groups of teeth and complicating factors of endodontic treatment were assessed. This retrospective cohort study assessed the quality and periapic...

The elimination of microorganisms from root canals is a critical step in endodontic treatment. We aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial effectiveness of an alternating irrigation regimen during chemomechanical preparation (CMP). During 21 days, root canals of extracted human teeth were infected with Enterococcus faecalis, and colonization was confirm...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the standard quality of 1,347 root fillings performed by postgraduate students in Endodontics according to 3 radiographic quality parameters. The analyzed quality parameters included apical extension (AE), taper (TA) and homogeneity (HO), which received scores S2 (ideal standard), S1 (slight deviation) or S0 (a...

Two patients presented with complaints of recurrent drainage of purulent exudate from sinus tracts, inflammation and pain after endodontic re-treatment of the maxillary left (Case 1) and right (Case 2) lateral incisors. The periapical lesions persisted after apical curettage, apicectomy and root-end filling with silver amalgam. Radiographic examina...

This in vitro study evaluated the influence of luting agents on ultrasonic vibration time for intraradicular cast post removal. After endodontic treatment, 30 roots of extracted human canines were embedded in resin cylinders. The post-holes were prepared at 10 mm depth and their impressions were taken using autopolymerizing acrylic resin. After cas...

The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the time required for removal of intraradicular cast posts cemented with zinc phosphate (ZF) or glass ionomer cement (GIC), using two Brazilian ultrasound devices (BUD). Seventy two human inferior premolars with single root canals were sectioned transversally at the cementoenamel junction. In each speci...

Pesquisadores brasileiros têm demonstrado aumento na produção científica associada à publicação de trabalhos na literatura corrente. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o perfil dos bolsistas de produtividade científica da área de Saúde Coletiva no Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico. Foram analisados os currículos Lattes...

Brazilian researchers have shown an increase in scientific production associated with the publication of studies in the literature. This study aimed to evaluate the profile of researchers with scientific productivity grants in the Public Health area at the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development. We analyzed the Lattes curricu...

Gingival fibromatosis (GF) is characterized by fibrotic enlargement of the gingiva that can be inherited as an isolated trait (named hereditary gingival fibromatosis) or as a component of a syndrome. This article reports one kindred affected by a syndrome characterized by GF associated with dental abnormalities (DA) including generalized thin hypop...
