However, if this is not possible, the results from this study suggest samples should either be: (i) placed in RTF and stored at 4 °C for no more than 4 h; or (ii) for overnight storage, samples should be placed in skimmed milk medium plus 20% glycerol at -20 °C.

The prevalence in the infected previously treated root canal was 27%. Enterococci was isolated from seven out of nine British cheeses investigated. The same clonal types of E. faecalis were recovered from saliva, from in the previously treated infected root canal and from British-produced cheese's. It would be of interest to investigate the prevalence of E. faecalis in the oral cavity from people that do not eat cheese due to the fact of medical reasons or through choice, to see if there is any difference in the prevalence found.

Pain catastrophising did not predict the occurrence of post-operative pain/discomfort. Further monitoring of the clinical course of prevalent pain/discomfort associated with periapical healing should inform future decision-making on further management.

It demonstrated an improvement in the quality of radiographs across all criteria measured up to and beyond the desired standard, from 55% of radiographs scoring excellent in the first phase to 80% in the third phase. As a result of the study it was decided to install the Schick CDR system because of the speed it produced images even though the first phase of this study demonstrated inferior image quality. The audit had clear, measurable standards with explicit targets. The audits have been through the entire audit cycle, data collection, change and a further data collection to provide evidence of the benefit ...

All of the E. faecalis strains examined were capable of survival for 18 h inside the neutrophils following phagocytosis; regardless of their capacity to produce aggregation substance. In addition, all strains of E. faecalis had enhanced susceptibilities to the antimicrobial agents after residence inside neutrophils for 18 h.

Irrespective of mixing technique, ProRoot white and Angelus grey had the highest surface microhardness values. Trituration of encapsulated, premeasured MTA and water provides a standardiszed method of mixing that produces MTA slurries with more controllable handling characteristics.

Tests for assessing vascular supply that rely on the passage of light through a tooth have been considered as possible methods for detecting pulp vitality. Laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF), which is a noninvasive, objective, painless, semi-quantitative method, has been shown to be reliable for measuring pulpal blood flow. The relevant literature on LDF in the context of endodontics up to March 2008 was reviewed using PubMed and MEDLINE database searches.

Conventional radiographs used for the management of endodontic problems yield limited information because of the two-dimensional nature of images produced, geometric distortion and anatomical noise. These factors often act in combination. This review paper assesses the limitations of periapical radiographs and seeks to clarify three-dimensional imaging techniques that have been suggested as adjuncts to conventional radiographs. These include tuned aperture computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, computed tomography and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Of these techniques, CBCT appears to be an...

New dimensions in endodontic imaging: part 2. Cone beam computed tomography. International Endodontic Journal. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has been specifically designed to produce undistorted three-dimensional information of the maxillofacial skeleton, including the teeth and their surrounding tissues with a significantly lower effective radiation dose compared with conventional computed tomography (CT). Periapical disease may be detected sooner using CBCT compared with periapical views and the true size, extent, nature and position of periapical and resorptive lesions can be assessed. Root fractures, root canal anatomy and the nature of the alveolar bone topography around teeth may be assessed. The aim of this paper is to review current literature on the applications an...

The properties and applications of chlorhexidine in endodontics. International Endodontic Journal. Microorganisms and their by-products are considered to be the major cause of pulp and periradicular pathosis. Hence, a major objective in root canal treatment is to disinfect the entire root canal system, which requires that all contents of the root canal system be eliminated as possible sources of infection. This goal may be accomplished using mechanical instrumentation and chemical irrigation, in conjunction with medication of the root canal system between treatment sessions. To reduce or eliminate bacteria, various irrigation solutions have been advocated. Chlorhexidine is a cationic molecule, which can be used during treatment. It has a wide range of antimicrobial ...

The mysterious appearance of enterococci in filled root canals. International Endodontic Journal. In this narrative review, the potential reasons for the high occurrence of enterococci in filled root canals are explored. The pulpless root canal appears to be a habitat for these bacteria, particularly for Enterococcus faecalis. However, re-surveying the literature in caries research, it can be concluded that, contrary to earlier belief, enterococci are rare if ever found at the advancing front of dentinal lesions. The same is the case for true primary endodontic infections, but some uncertainty remains, because the coronal seal and the history of teeth harbouring enterococci have rarely been accurately investigated.

A diagnostic dilemma: endodontic lesion or odontogenic keratocyst? A case presentation. International Endodontic Journal.Aim To present a clinical case of odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) simulating a lateral periodontal cyst.Summary A 39-year-old female complaining of swelling and pain in the left mandibular premolar area was found to have a radiolucent lesion between teeth 34 and 35 (FDI). Both teeth had incomplete root fillings, and orthograde re-treatment of both premolars was performed. At 2-year follow-up, radiographic examination showed an increase in the radiolucent defect with respect to the previous examination. A surgical treatment of tooth 34 was then performed, with histological examination of the lesion. Histological features wer...

Thus, this automatic function must be used with caution when removing gutta-percha root fillings. There were significant differences between the accuracy of measurements in active (rotating) and passive (not-rotating) modes; both devices were more accurate when used in passive mode. However, the Tri AutoZX® was significantly more accurate in a greater proportion of cases.

Adopting modified access and troughing procedures revealed a 42% frequency of MB2 canals in maxillary first molars. The incidence of a second canal in both mesiobuccal roots of maxillary molars and distal roots of mandibular molars decreased significantly with age; no differences were noticed amongst the nationalities and gender studied. The possibility of extra roots should be anticipated in mandibular molars.

A preliminary study on the technical feasibility and outcome of retrograde root canal treatment. International Endodontic Journal.Aim To investigate the technical feasibility and outcome of retrograde root canal treatment.Summary Endodontic access cavity preparation in abutment teeth may jeopardize the retention of the coronal restoration leading to prosthodontic failure. In such cases leaving the crown intact and performing retrograde root canal treatment might be an alternative approach. The potential to promote healing with retrograde endodontic treatment, and the technical feasibility to shape, clean and fill the canal was evaluated retrospectively.
