Remaining endodontic filling material was observed on the canal walls of all teeth regardless of the technique used. Hand files combined with Gates-Glidden burs (group I) and the reciprocating technique (group III) removed more filling material from the canal walls than the Mtwo R files. The reciprocating technique was the most rapid method for removing gutta-percha and sealer, followed by the rotary technique and the hand file technique.
The Books Review is drafted in the reviewer's sole wording and illustrates his opinions. This second edition of the book entitled "Applied Occlusion" is an essential contribution highlighting how important it is for dentists and students to understand the function of the teeth. Dental occlusion is felt throughout the entire postural system and therefore any dental treatment should be done in the occlusal balance. This book is divided into eight chapters. The first two chapters present normal occlusion in static and dynamic. The following two chapters focus on the effects of deflective contacts, interferences and parafunction and demystify the reorganization of the occlusion. Chapters 5, 6 and 7 tackle considerations relating to the periodontium, implant restorations and temporomandibular disorders. The final chapter contains details about occlusal examination, intercuspal registration, articulator selection, diagnostic waxing, copying anterior guidance, occlusal splints and occlusal adjustment. The clinical videos accompanying the book narrate the process of investigating and managing occlusal problems. This book is useful for dental students, clinical dental students and dental practitioners to understand the function of the teeth, and find much better solutions for occlusal disorders.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
