To evaluate the effectiveness of Carisolv™and different auxiliary chemical substances in root canal smear layer (SL) removal. SL was produced in the centre of 40 hemi-disks of bovine root dentine. The samples were divided into four irrigation groups (G): GI (control) -0.9% NaCl; GII -1% NaOCl + 0.9% NaCl; GIII -Carisolv™ + 0.9% NaCl; GIV -1% NaOCl + 10% citric acid solution + 0.9% NaCl. The photomicrographs (SEM analysis) were coded (0 -absence of SL; 1 -moderate SL; 2 -dense SL with visible tubules; 3 -dense SL with no visible tubules). GIV was more effective in SL removal (P < 0.01). It should be noted that GI and GIII obtained score 3 in 100% of the samples (P > 0.01). Conclusion: NaOHCl, citric acid and NaCl solutions, when used together, presented a better performance in the removal of SL when compared to the other solutions. (J.

The presence of mesiodens can cause some clinical problems. This paper reports a case of delayed eruption of permanent central incisors in a nine-year-old male as a consequence of a mesiodens and three surgical approaches prior to the eruption of incisors, which occurred after the third surgery when the crown was exposed and submitted to a gentle luxation.
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.
