Determining the apical limit of root canal preparation has proved to be a matter of continuous debate. During root canal instrumentation, soft tissue or debris get impacted in the apical region causing canal blockage. This can be avoided if apical patency is maintained. A major concern over apical patency is extrusion causing periapical tissue irritation and delaying or hindering periapical healing. The aim of this review was to evaluate the literature regarding the influence of apical patency on success of root canal treatment. A search of the literature was conducted via PubMed using the terms “apical patency” OR “patency file”. Inclusion criteria were: articles published in English, between the years 2000 and 2020, and were neither case reports nor reviews. A total of 32 articles were selected. Clinical studies directly investigating the influence of apical patency on root canal treatment outcome are limited. In-vitro and in-vivo studies were found evaluating amount of extrusion, canal cleanliness, and shaping associated with apical patency examined this influence indirectly. According to the available literature, there is little evidence to contraindicate the use of apical patency or suggest it has a negative effect on root canal treatment outcome. However, more evidence of high quality is required to confirm this.

Introduction: It is very important to remove all intra-canal dressing placed between endodontic visits. The most common canal dressing is calcium hydroxide. Apart from its well-known benefits, calcium hydroxide is considered difficult to be completely removed from root canal system. In the literature, in an assessment of the effect of material removal from root canals, superiority of some instruments over the other are reported. Objectives: The aim of the study was to analyze the impact of Brush-Finisher on removing an intra-canal dressing in different root canal widths. Material and methods: The study was performed using extracted single-rooted teeth, which were prepared to standardize all samples and divided into 2 groups, including large canals (LC, n = 8) and narrow canals (NC, n = 8) groups. As a control group of narrow and wide canals, a syringe with an endodontic needle was used (LC, n = 8 and NC, n = 8). Calcium hydroxide paste was placed into the canals. After 2 weeks, cleaning procedure was performed using 2% NaOCl and a Brush-Finisher. After agitation of the rinsing solution, radiographs were taken in bucco-lingual and mesio-distal projections. Then, all radiographs were uploaded to graphic software, and the roots were divided into 3 parts: apical, middle, and coronal, and a crisscross pattern was carried out. Every square field located along the course of canal was calculated and evaluated in terms of the absence or presence of canal dressing. P-value of < 0.05 was assumed statistically significant. For comparison of individual proportions, N-1 χ2 test was used, while Marascuilo procedure was applied to evaluate significance between particular comparison of pairs. Results: Significant difference between efficacy of Ca(OH)2 removal was observed comparing middle and coronal level in LC group (0.077) as well as between apical and middle level (0.106) and coronal and middle level (0.082) in NC group. Conclusions: Activation of irrigation with the Brush-Finisher was more beneficial in removing Ca(OH)2 in narrow rather than large canals. Cleaning was less efficient in middle levels of both groups.
简介:在根管检查之间，清除所有管内敷料是非常重要的。最常见的根管敷料是氢氧化钙。除了众所周知的好处，氢氧化钙被认为很难完全从根管系统中清除。在文献中，在评估根管材料去除的效果时，一些器械优于其他器械的报道。目的:本研究的目的是分析Brush-Finisher对不同根管宽度根管内敷料去除的影响。材料与方法:采用拔除的单根牙进行研究，将所有标本制备标准化，分为大根管组(LC组，n = 8)和窄根管组(NC组，n = 8)。作为窄管和宽管的对照组，使用带根管针的注射器(LC, n = 8, NC, n = 8)，在根管内放置氢氧化钙糊剂。2周后，使用2% NaOCl和刷饰剂进行清洁。冲洗溶液搅拌后，在颊-舌和中-远端投影处拍摄x线片。然后将所有x线片上传到图形软件中，将根分为根尖、中、冠状3部分，并进行交叉排列。对运河沿线的每一块方田进行了计算，并根据有无运河修整进行了评估。假设p值< 0.05有统计学意义。个体比例比较采用N-1 χ2检验，特定组间比较采用Marascuilo程序。结果:LC组中、冠状位去除Ca(OH)2的效果(0.077)，NC组根尖、中、冠状位去除Ca(OH)2的效果(0.106)与中、冠状位去除Ca(OH)2的效果(0.082)差异有统计学意义。结论:用刷式冲洗器激活灌溉更有利于去除狭窄管道中的Ca(OH)2，而不是大管道。两组的中层清洁效率都较低。

Introduction: Patients who use removable dentures often contact dentists about restoration of a separation or fracture of their acrylic teeth. This causes great discomfort for the patient as well as huge labor and time-consuming procedures for dentists and dental technicians. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the adhesion between self-curing acrylic material and teeth in distillate water and denture disinfection agent. Material and methods: Five types of self-cure acrylic resin samples’ groups were prepared for the study, and were combined with acrylic teeth. First group included teeth samples made without surface modification, second group consisted of teeth samples’ surfaces activated with acetone, while in third group, retention holes were made. In fourth group of samples, their surfaces were increased by retention holes and washed twice with monomer, whereas in fifth group of teeth, cervical layers were grinded with a bur. One plate from each group was stored in distilled water (W) and another in Corega Tabs (CT) solution for 30 days at 37 o C. Connection between acrylic resin-acrylic tooth was assessed using tensile strength instrument. Results: The highest bonding force was achieved between Villacryl SP and Mifam teeth in the group with retention holes made and surface washed twice with monomer (W: 149.86 ± 5.42 N; CT: 146.38 ± 4.39 N), cohesive type. The lowest adhesion values were observed for tooth surfaces with no changed surface (W: 15.15 ± 3.44 N; CT: 13.49 ± 3.80 N), and with samples washed with acetone (W: 15.8 ± 3.22 N; CT: 12.0 ± 1.0 N). In these cases, the connection had adhesive character. Conclusions: A proper connection between acrylic teeth and surface of denture base is possible to achieve when both chemical and mechanical methods surface are combined, thus increased by retention elements. cleaning agent.

Introduction: Curcuma longa Linn (CLL) has high calcium and phosphate concentrations, resulting in increasing re-mineralization of enamel. Objectives: This study was to determine the difference between CLL and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate fluoride (CPP-ACPF) in the growth of enamel re-mineralization. Material and methods: CLL 5% and 10% were obtained from thick CLL extract and weighed to acquire 50 grams of CLL extract. 2.5 grams of CLL were taken, and 2.5 grams of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and 45 ml of distilled water were added, giving CLL 5% gel. For CLL 10% gel, 5 grams of CLL, 2.5 grams of CMC, and 42.5 ml of distilled water were mixed. De-mineralization solution consisted of 2.2 mM/l CaCl2, 2.2 mM/l KH2PO4, and 50 mM acetate buffer, with pH of 4.06. Samples of 24 extracted primary maxillary central incisors were divided into four groups: 1. Negative control group (C–); 2. Positive control (C+) with CPP-ACPF 5% cohort; 3. CLL 5%; and 4. CLL 10% treatment group. Results: Mean enamel micro-hardness in CLL 10% group after re-mineralization at tenth minute time-point (449.28 HV) was higher than that in CPP-ACPF 5% group (403.41 HV), which was significantly different. Strongest correlation coefficient was observed in CLL 10% group (r = 0.820, very strong), with highest R2 value of 67.2%. Conclusions: CLL 10% is more effective than CLL 5%. Moreover, CPP-ACPF 5% was found efficient in increasing enamel re-mineralization, as a potential agent for re-mineralizing primary teeth enamels.

Introduction: Asthma is the most common chronic childhood disease, mainly treated with inhaled steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (ICSs) and inhaled bronchodilators. Unfortunately, current literature emphasizes their negative effect on the condition of soft tissues of the oral cavity and hard dental tissues. Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the effect of types of inhaled anti-asthmatic drugs on the properties of saliva in children. Material and methods: Study group included 114 asthmatics and 94 healthy patients between the age of 3 and 17. Information about the age of onset, severity of asthma, use of anti-asthmatic medications, duration of the therapy, method of drugs’ administration, and number of their application were recorded. The severity of asthma was assessed by a pediatrician. Saliva was collected for resting pH, buffering capacity, hydration, saliva quantity, and viscosity measurements using saliva-check buffer kit (GC). Student’s t-test, c2 test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Spearman’s correlation coefficient were used, with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: Asthmatics appeared to be characterized by significantly lower average values of saliva quantity (p = 0.0064), buffering capacity (p = 0.0002), and viscosity (p = 0.0094) than controls. Spearman’s rank correlation revealed a negative correlation between steroid dose, therapy duration, and the use of dry powder inhalers (DPIs) on saliva quantity. Moreover, combination therapy with β2-agonists and DPIs reduces hydration of lip mucosa. Finally, the use of DPIs increases the viscosity of saliva. Conclusions: The study shows that inhaled anti-asthmatic medications have a considerable effect on salivary properties.

Introduction: Scale of oral health outcomes for five-year-old children (SOHO-5) and early childhood oral health impact scale (ECOHIS) has been validated for Chilean population; however, there is no clarity which scale has a better performance and discriminant validity for caries. Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare SOHO-5 (parental version and child’s self-reports) and ECOHIS in a sample of Chilean preschoolers. Material and methods: 121 pairs were selected from the Pablo Neruda School in Curanilahue, Chile. Collection of dmft/DMFT indices, socio-demographic data, and application of instruments were performed in the facilities of the school. Parents answered ECOHIS and SOHO-5p (parental version), and children answered SOHO-5c (child’s self-reports). Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman’s correlation coefficients were used for statistical analysis. Results: SOHO-5p and ECOHIS were strongly correlated. Moreover, SOHO-5p and ECOHIS could discriminate between preschoolers with and without severe caries. In contrast, SOHO-5c did not correlated with SOHO-5p, nor ECOHIS. In addition, SOHO-5c could not distinguish between the presence and absence of severe caries among the sample. Conclusions: ECOHIS and SOHO-5p were both significantly correlated with OHRQoL among preschoolers. How-ever, SOHO-5c did not correlate with any of the variables studied, nor with SOHO-p or ECOHIS. ECOHIS showed a greater discrimination with the oral health status of preschoolers, as measured by the presence of severe caries. life, children.

Introduction: New diagnostic devices’ development is very important to detect caries lesions at earliest stage. The main aim of the study was the assessment of new dental caries detection methods: digital fiber-optic transillumination (DIFOTI) and quantitative light-induced fluorescence (QLF), in comparison with conventional method: visual and tactile examination. Objectives: Specific aims were the comparison of efficacy of diagnostic devices, including DIAGNOcam (DIFOTI), DIAGNOdent pen, and VistaCam iX (QLF) in early caries detection in children, and the assessment of their sensitivity and specificity. Material and methods: In total, 61 children, aged 5-18 were examined. Early caries (caries incipiens) on occlusal and approximal surfaces of molar deciduous, and permanent teeth and premolar teeth were diagnosed. Examination scheme included visual and tactile examination according to ICDAS-II (international caries detection and assessment system), and assessment of dental caries with VistaCam iX, DIAGNOdent pen, and DIAGNOcam devices. Results: 227 surfaces were examined, including 129 permanent molars’ surfaces, 50 deciduous molars’ surfaces, and 48 premolars’ surfaces. Therefore in total, 172 occlusal surfaces and 55 approximal surfaces were analyzed. The highest sensitivity was obtained with VistaCam iX – 0.9655, lower DIAGNOcam – 0.8649, and DIAGNOdent pen – 0.6410. The highest specificity was obtained with DIAGNOdent pen – 0.9043, lower VistaCam iX – 0.9028, and DIAGNOcam – 0.8947. Conclusions: The clinical visual and tactile examination should be the basic diagnostic method, and their results should be confirmed with additional devices, such as VistaCam iX, DIAGNOcam, or DIAGNOdent pen. None of the mentioned modern devices provided total efficacy in early caries detection. VistaCam iX and DIAGNOcam obtained better sensitivity than DIAGNOdent pen; however, all devices achieved high specificity.
介绍:新型诊断设备的发展对早期发现龋齿非常重要。本研究的主要目的是评估新的龋齿检测方法:数字光纤透照(DIFOTI)和定量光诱导荧光(QLF)，并与传统方法:视觉和触觉检查进行比较。目的:比较诊断仪(DIFOTI)、诊断笔(DIAGNOdent pen)和vistamam iX (QLF)对儿童早期龋病的检测效果，并评价其敏感性和特异性。材料与方法:共对61例5 ~ 18岁儿童进行检查。诊断为磨牙、乳牙、恒牙、前磨牙合面及近面早期龋(初龋)。检查方案包括根据ICDAS-II(国际龋齿检测和评估系统)进行视觉和触觉检查，并使用visacam iX、DIAGNOdent笔和DIAGNOcam设备进行龋齿评估。结果:共检查了227个面，其中恒磨牙面129个，乳牙面50个，前磨牙面48个。因此，总共分析了172个咬合面和55个近似面。visacam iX - 0.9655、DIAGNOcam - 0.8649和DIAGNOdent pen - 0.6410的灵敏度最高。诊断pen - 0.9043、vistamam iX - 0.9028和DIAGNOcam - 0.8947特异性最高。结论:临床视触觉检查应作为诊断的基本方法，其结果应借助visacam iX、DIAGNOcam或DIAGNOdent笔等辅助器械进行确认。上述现代设备在早期龋齿检测中都没有提供完全的功效。visacam iX和DIAGNOcam的灵敏度优于DIAGNOdent笔;然而，所有设备都达到了高特异性。

The retromolar canal is the anatomical branch of the mandibular canal. It contains a neurovascular bundle made of thin nerve fibers, veins and arteries surrounded by collagen fibers. The aim of the study was to review information about the retromolar canal presence and its consequences. The canal adjacent to the molar triangle may have different variants that occur at different frequencies. This canal constitutes 46.67% of all mandibular canal branches, making it the most common type of bifurcation, next to the canal branching upstream, buccal-lingual and to the tooth root. Thomas von Arx et al. classified variants of the alignment of the retromolar canal and distinguished five types. The retromolar canal and its content may be of great clinical importance for doctors in the area of the retromolar triangle. The retromolar nerve may contribute to inadequate anesthesia around the retromolar triangle, but this problem can be solved by techniques other than traditional anesthesia. Working in this area, doctors should take into account the possibility of damaging the neurovascular bundle. The analysis of the available literature show that the retromolar canal is not a rare phenomenon in the population. Therefore, should always be taken into account the possibility of its presence and consequences.
磨牙后管是下颌管的解剖分支。它包含一个神经维管束，由细神经纤维组成，静脉和动脉被胶原纤维包围。本研究的目的是回顾有关臼齿后管存在及其后果的信息。与磨牙三角形相邻的根管可能有不同的变异，出现的频率也不同。该根管占所有下颌根管分支的46.67%，是最常见的分支类型，仅次于根管上游分支、颊舌分支和牙根分支。Thomas von Arx等人对磨牙后管的排列进行了分类，并将其分为五种类型。在磨牙后三角区域，磨牙后管及其内容对医生具有重要的临床意义。磨牙后神经可能导致磨牙后三角周围的麻醉不足，但这一问题可以通过传统麻醉以外的技术来解决。在这一领域工作时，医生应考虑到损伤神经血管束的可能性。对现有文献的分析表明，后磨牙管在人群中并不罕见。因此，应始终考虑到其存在的可能性和后果。
