7.5 to 11.5 year Follow Up of the Fracture Removal Treatment for Propagated Crown Fractures
A definitive method to predictably treat propagated longitudinal fractures remains elusive. A proof-of-concept case report series documenting nonsurgical removal of propagated longitudinal fractures has shown up to five years of clinical and radiographic success. This installment of the case report series further documents these teeth with 7.5 year to 11.5 year recall evaluations. (Source: Journal of Endodontics)

Efficacy of the TuttleNumbNow Intraosseous Method for Pulpal Anesthesia in the Mandibular First Molar - A Prospective, Randomized, Crossover Study
Previous studies on intraosseous (IO) anesthesia as a primary injection have shown high success rates. The TuttleNumbNow (TNN) is a new primary IO injection technique that has not been scientifically evaluated. Therefore, the purpose of this prospective randomized, crossover, study was to evaluate the anesthetic efficacy of the TNN IO technique using the Septoject Evolution needle when compared to a buccal infiltration for pulpal anesthesia in the mandibular first molar.

The effect of calcium hydroxide pastes on isolated vital nerve fibers
Extrusion of medicaments during root canal treatment may result in injury to the surrounding periapical tissues1,2. One of the materials used for root canal disinfection is calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2). Its use dates back to the 1920s, proving effective for disinfection, hard tissue stimulation, and apical closure of immature teeth with necrotic pulps3. The biological actions of Ca(OH)2 are based on the ionic dissociation of its Ca2+ and OH- ions. The release of hydroxyl ions (OH-) creates an alkaline environment that is antibacterial and promotes hard tissue stimulation3,4. (Source: Journal of Endodontics)
