Lowering the Number of False Positive Responses to Electric Pulp Tests by Qualifying Patient Response [PDF]

, 2015
The electric pulp test (EPT) has been shown to be a valuable tool in assessing pulp vitality. One of its drawbacks, however, is its high number of false positives. The purpose of this study was to determine if qualifying the type of sensation elicited by

Establishment of an MRI‐Based Diagnostic Approach to Identify Critical Pulpal Inflammation Zones in a Rat Caries‐Derived Pulpitis Model

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To establish a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‐based diagnostic approach for identifying ‘critical pulpal inflammation’ zones in a rat model of caries‐derived pulpitis. Methodology Caries‐derived pulpitis was induced in the molars of Sprague–Dawley rats using the caries‐derived pulpitis model.

Reference Values for Pulse Oximetry Testing in Permanent Teeth: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pulse oximetry is an accurate diagnostic method for assessing the condition of the dental pulp; however, the normal oxygen saturation levels for each tooth type are yet to be clearly defined. Objectives This systematic review and meta‐analysis aims to answer the question: What are the reference values for pulse oximetry testing in ...

Development of a Nano‐Hybrid Composite Using Bovine Hydroxyapatite and Montmorillonite for Endodontic Applications—An In Vitro Study

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Hydraulic calcium silicate cements are widely employed in endodontics due to their excellent biocompatibility, bioactivity, sealing ability, and remineralisation potential. However, currently used products such as mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) exhibit several limitations, including discolouration, cost, and poor handling properties ...

Effect of Additives on Mineral Trioxide Aggregate Setting Reaction Product Formation [PDF]

, 2015
Introduction Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) sets via hydration of calcium silicates to yield calcium silicate hydrates and calcium hydroxide (Ca[OH]2). However, a drawback of MTA is its long setting time.

Factors Associated With Endodontic Flare‐Ups: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Endodontic flare‐ups, characterized by severe postoperative pain and/or swelling requiring unscheduled intervention, remain a clinically significant concern in root canal therapy. Identifying the factors associated with flare‐ups is important for anticipating and managing patient outcomes.
