Root Canal Irrigation

2015
The aims of root canal irrigation are the chemical dissolution or disruption and the mechanical detachment of pulp tissue, dentin debris and smear layer (instrumentation products), microorganisms (planktonic or biofilm), and their products from the root canal wall, their removal out of the root canal system.

To Do A “Root Canal”

Australian Endodontic Journal, 2003
ABSTRACTEndodontic treatment is often referred to as “a root canal”. This article discusses the need to be more refined and descriptive in the selection of treatment alternatives. The pathological involvement of teeth needing endodontic treatment varies significantly from superficial pulp inflammation to pulp necrosis and infection, often complicated ...

Microbiology of Root Canal Infections

Primary Dental Journal, 2016
Inflammatory reaction in the periapical tissues is induced by microbial infection in the root canal system. The aim of root canal treatment is to preserve healthy periapical tissues or to provide healing of them in restorable teeth, which have sufficient periodontal support. The amount of microbial cells in the root canal system and their virulence as

Root Canal Irrigants

Journal of Endodontics, 2006
Local wound debridement in the diseased pulp space is the main step in root canal treatment to prevent the tooth from being a source of infection. In this review article, the specifics of the pulpal microenvironment and the resulting requirements for irrigating solutions are spelled out.

Root Canal Treatment in a Mandibular Second Premolar with Three Root Canals

Journal of Endodontics, 2005
According to the endodontic literature, the possibility of three canals in mandibular second premolars is quite small. When three or more canals are present separation of the root canals has only been described at mid-root level. The present case describes root canal treatment of a root canal aberration at the level of the apical third (apical root ...

The validity of simulated root canals for the investigation of the prepared root canal shape

International Endodontic Journal, 1985
Summary. Curved root canals from extracted human teeth were prepared using K‐type files. The resultant shapes were compared both quantitatively and qualitatively with canals that were formed in polyester clear casting resin and similarly prepared. Moderately curved canals generally demonstrated a funnel‐shaped canal preparation. Severely curved canals

Adhesion of a Glass–Ionomer Root Canal Sealer to the Root Canal Wall

Journal of Endodontics, 2001
Glass-ionomer root canal sealer is commonly used because of its chemical bonding and favorable physical characteristics when bonding to dentin. This study was designed to determine the tensile bond strength of a glass-ionomer sealer (Ketac Endo, Espe, Seefeld, Germany) on root canal walls after pretreatment with different conditioners.

Endosonics in curved root canals

Journal of Endodontics, 1985
This study assessed whether or not endosonic instrumentation straightened curved root canals. Fiftyone curved canals in extracted human teeth were enlarged by hand until a size 15 endosonic file fit to working length. Preoperative radiographs were made with size 15 files in place.

[Root canal preparation: shaping and cleaning of the root canal].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor tandheelkunde, 2006
Primary shaping is of paramount importance for a succesfull root canal treatment. In this article the basis principles of apical terminus location, shape, size and diameter are discussed. The use of NiTi instruments and crown-down preparation techniques are explained.

Asymmetry of the root canal foramen

International Endodontic Journal, 1992
SummaryDeviation of the major apical foramen from the anatomical root apex is a recognized phenomenon. To determine the frequency, position and mean distance of the major apical foramen from the anatomical root apex, 230 roots of permanent teeth were examined stereo‐microscopically and radiographically.
