Successful root canal therapy relies on the combination of proper instrumentation, irrigation, and obturation of the root canal system. In this review of the literature, various irrigants and the interactions between irrigants are discussed and new delivery systems are introduced.

Conventionally, micromirrors and microprobes have been used for this purpose. The dental operating microscope (DOM) has been implemented to enhance visibility during dental procedures. However, the microscope, a sizable tool, remains between operating field and the dental practitioner, making his ability to manipulate more complicated. Also, the interference of the hands and the handpiece with the visualization of the surgical field and inaccurate observation of the endodontic instruments during the procedure. Endoscopy reportedly provides the dentist with excellent vision and ease of use. It also provides a better intraoperative visua...

The introduction of NiTi rotary files made a major change in endodontic practice, making treatment easier, safer and faster. Nevertheless, after 16 years of intensive development, most of these instruments still share several drawbacks, the major one being the inability to three-dimensionally clean and shape oval root canals. The Self-Adjusting File (SAF) System was designed to overcome many of the current drawbacks of rotary file systems. It is based on a hollow, highly compressible file that adapts itself three-dimensionally to the shape of a given root canal, including its cross section. The file is op...

One involves a revitalization approach to achieve tissue generation and regeneration in the root canal system. In this method, new living tissue is expected to form in the cleaned canal space allowing continued root development in terms of both length and thickness. The other is the active pursuit of pulp/dentine regeneration via tissue engineering technology to implant or re-grow pulps. Although the technology is still at its infancy, it has potential to benefit immature pulpless teeth by allowing continued growth and maturation. Evidence has shown that using dental stem cells, pulp and dentin can be regenerated in the root canal sp...

In the case of implant planning, which was among the first applications of this technology, the exact 3D location of the implant could be preplanned and even guided during surgery. This was a major advancement in implant planning above and beyond traditional radiographic images, such as panoramic, bitewing, and periapical films, all of which are subject to magnification errors and dimensional distortion. However, with CBCT imaging, the images are captured in their true anatomic size and shape, and therefore offer the most accurate treatment planning potential. For these reasons, CBC...

Although conventional or medical computed tomography (CT) had been available since the 1970s, with few exceptions, it had not been widely used in dentistry. In the early days of conventional CT, the machines were limited in number, restricting their use to only the most beneficial of purposes--for example, imaging of the brain.

CBCT images provide high quality, accurate 3-dimensional (3D) representations of the osseous elements of the maxillofacial skeleton. The purpose of this article is to provide (1) an introduction to maxillofacial CBCT technology, (2) an understanding of the relative patient radiation dose, and (3) to underline the appropriate use of CBCTas a diagnostic imaging modality with specific clinical applications.

There are numerous reasons why these lesions appear in the anterior dentition, and these reasons will be discussed in detail. For some patients, these white lesions may be considered unsightly and the patients may seek treatment to have them removed; other patients are not concerned about their presence on their anterior teeth. Some of the white lesions are caused by demineralization and occur because of poor oral hygiene. For the purpose of this article, developmental white lesions will be discussed in detail, along with the options for treatment of these lesions.

We have been talking about and offering dental restorations that look as close as possible to natural teeth-or perhaps look even better. We have been bleaching, veneering, and crowning in an effort to meet patient demand and expectations of that elusive "perfect smile." As these restorative treatments evolved, we became better at creating more translucent porcelains and composites, brighter shades, better color matching tools with the advent of electronic color matching, and more talented dental technicians-we are literally creating works of art. Yet some of this "art work" still falls short of the mark (Figure 1). Why is this? In many cases it is because we have forgotten to choose a frame that is deserving...

Long-term success is dependant on the level of precision at which treatment is carried out. The three main areas in which this precision should be focused are precision of fit, occiusal precision, and aesthetic precision.

Historically, orthodontics and restorative work, within a practice, rarely coincided on the same patient, but the advances within both disciplines have afforded a new and innovative way of considering conservative dentistry.

However, the evidence to support this is not compelling, and every dentist has experienced cases where the apices of teeth are not removed for a variety of reasons and, in most cases, the patient seems to suffer no ill effects. If one extrapolates from this, it is evident that there might be instances where it is actually preferable to leave the apical part of the root rather than remove it, and this can be carried out deliberately. The usual time that one would consider this is when the inferior alveolar nerve is intimately related to the roots of the lower molar teeth, and this occurs most often in relation to ...

The incidence is also slightly higher in middle-aged males and may be as high as 67% in elderly males.

Fifty-two percent of patients referred to a university-based practice with trigeminal neurosensory complaints associated their nerve injury with third molar odontectomy. The inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) was the most commonly injured nerve (61.1%), followed by the lingual nerve (LN; 38.8%). There was a 1.5-times greater incidence in females, the mean age of the patients was 34.5 years, and the mean time to consultation from the third molar extraction date was 6.9 months. These data also showed that although the LN was the least commonly injured nerve, it was also the most likely to be severely damaged. It also showed that these patients were mo...

The potential purchaser should carefully analyze the style and type of the practice to decide how useful the device could be. Moreover, attending introductory courses, seminars, and presentations, such as those at the aforementioned Academy of Laser Dentistry's Annual Conference, or at various state and national scientific sessions, are essential before buying.

It is this knowledge that allows for an educated assessment of the clinical outcomes that lasers produce in our patients. It is also this understanding that provides a scientific basis for the visual feedback the clinician uses to vary parameters as needed to get the desired clinical results. It is the intent of this paper to discuss the very basic reasons why lasers affect tissues the way they do, and to synthesize the plethora of information dental practitioners are seeing regularly in dental journals.

The erbium family of lasers (Er,Cr:YSGG and Er:YAG) are highly absorbed in water and, to a lesser extent, in tooth mineral. Because a carious lesion contains significantly more water than healthy enamel or dentin, the laser can offer some selectivity in removing the diseased material. Furthermore, these lasers can offer some degree of anesthesia. In these clinical photos, an Er,Cr:YSGG laser (Waterlase or Waterlase MD, 2780-nm; Biolase Technologies, Irvine, CA) was used.

Laser use can be either an adjunct to other procedures or the main form of treatment itself. For many procedures, lasers are now becoming the treatment of choice by both clinicians and patients, and in some cases, the standard of care. Though there are as many uses for lasers in general practice as the imagination can provide, this manuscript will address those indications for use that have received marketing clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The Vatican declared it to be a hitherto unknown Christian cemetery, dating from around the year 300. The discoverers were amazed at the fresco paintings, most of them biblical scenes. But one particular fresco was destined to set the world of medical history on its ear! The scene was interpreted as a surgeon performing an operation, and it was duly reported as such by the New York Times. It took a renowned dental historian, Dr. Curt Proskauer, using logical deduction, to disprove that conclusion.

It is possible simultaneously to preserve healthy tooth structure; reproduce its original shape, color, and translucency; and strengthen the affected tooth. Although the main focus in the past was on improving the bonding adhesive properties and the development of strength and polishability of the restorative materials, the current objective is to simplify the bonding technique and to create a shrinkage-free compo...

This applies equally to the fields of orthodontics, restorative, prosthetic, and implant dentistry. In the field of removable prostheses there are biometric guides that aid in the replacement of teeth especially when the anatomical ridges are severely resorbed. These guides should be considered when planning the appearance and function of prostheses. This paper suggests that in view of the fact that unfavourable placement of implant fixtures is not easily rectified, knowledge of biometric guides can be critical in the treatment planning of the implant supported prosthesis especially when there are large resorbed edentulous spans.

Despite this, they are not frequently used in general dental practice and have an exaggerated reputation for premature failure. Since their initial introduction, they have undergone a number of changes to their method of retention and the materials used in their construction.

Caries has been defined as a point in a person's life when there is an imbalance between protective and pathologic factors such that the process of demineralization of tooth structure by acid from bacteria in the tooth biofilm exceeds the patient's ability to remineralized tooth structure. The patient diagnosed with caries is out of balance. Caries is a diagnosis of a person. People have caries, teeth have lesions. Caries lesion detection, classification, and analysis are done at the level of the tooth surface. Caries is a process in time. Today we establish a diagnosis. For the future we establish a prediction. Patients can be diagnosed as caries active, caries balanced, or caries undetermine...

From seemingly simple investments, such as stocks, bonds and cash, to more complicated option strategies, there is a dizzying array of investment vehicles that can leave even the most seasoned investor a bit confused. In discussions with our clients, one common thread is the desire to learn more about the various types of investments available. Following is a basic guide to the most common investments and the risks inherent in those choices.

During the past 50 years, removal of teeth has become less common, and placement of removable complete dentures has become less desirable to dentists. Tooth extraction is now limited to more legitimate reasons than in the past. The result is that removable prosthodontics has lost its appeal to many dentists. Polling large groups of dentists in continuing education courses, I have found that some dentists will not make removable complete dentures, and they do not provide dentures in their practices. Additionally, teaching complete dentures in dental schools has been diluted, because of the necessity to teach many other subjects and the reduced interest in the subject. Are ...

That was Chanukah week, when a Torah reading is required. Thanks to a request by Allen Ressler, Torah reader, Rabbi Menachem Levy...who is connected local Chabad Congregation, joined us. As participants in the service crowded the designated prayer room, I was moved to reflect on how B'nai AO came about. At the suggestion of International Editor Dan Uditsky, I will share some facts, and especially my own personal memories.

It was with this mission in mind that the Alpha Omegan invited me to share with my fraters a very personal, and painful, account of my boyhood in Poland, where I survived the Holocaust. Among the many gruesome episodes I encountered during the war, two remain vivid in my memories. Although this is not an easy story for me to tell, it is one that ultimately gives me great strength, especially as I prepare to disclose it among my dear friends and colleagues of Alpha Omega.

By definition, pre-cooperative children and those lacking in cooperative ability have immature cognitive skills, a highly restricted range of coping abilities, brief or negligible attention spans, and virtually no experience coping with stress. As result, they can be especially prone to maladaptive responses to anxiety provoking situations. For many of these, traditional non-pharmacologic behavior management strategies may often prove inadequate or inappropriate to overcome resistive or uncooperative behaviors. The importance of intervention with non-aversive techniques that provide a safe, child-oriented environment and timely ...

Space is at a premium and integration is a must. By consolidating the operator's primary supplies, which formerly were spread around the room, performance improves and space is gained for the successful introduction of high technology. Room cost decreases, permitting more networked rooms in less space at a lower cost. The productive potential of today's practice is greater than ever before; however, to gain the most from these opportunities, a change must occur in our perception of the treatment environment. When designing an office for the coming decades, it is vitally important to create a space for the future, not the past.
