“…8 The capabilities of CBCT liberate the observer from the disadvantages of periapical radiography, namely the superimposition of structures in multiple planes. 23 A number of studies have reported that CBCT is more sensitive than periapical radiography in detecting apical periodontitis, [24][25][26][27][28][29] and that CBCT can provide useful information for the diagnosis of VRF. 30 In another pilot study, 18 the lesions of endodontically treated maxillary incisors and pre-molars on CBCT images taken parallel to the row of teeth and to the tooth axis were measured and evaluated using the above Figure 10 Values of v/V for the vertical root fracture (VRF) and non-VRF groups.…”

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of diagnosing vertical root fractures (VRFs) by comparing the volume of bone defects in VRFs with those in nonVRFs on reconstructed three-dimensional (3D) models (TDMs) using CBCT. Methods: 32 maxillary pre-molars and anterior teeth with radiolucent areas were evaluated on pre-operative CBCT images. Of the 32 teeth, 16 had a fractured root (VRF group) and 16 had a non-fractured root (non-VRF group). The radiolucent area of each tooth was traced in each dimension [mesiodistal, buccolingual and horizontal (the apicoincisal aspect)] by two observers, and 3D images were reconstructed with the Amira ® software (Visage Imaging Inc., Richmond, Australia). The volume, V, of the TDM was divided into the coronal side and the periapical side at the horizontal slice through the apical foramen, and v was defined as the volume of the coronal side. The values of v/V were calculated for all cases. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare values between the VRF group and the non-VRF group (p , 0.05). A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to select the optimal cut-point. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the value of v/V between the two groups (p , 0.05). With a cut-point derived from the ROC curve, and the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of predicting the VRFs were 1.00, 0.75 and 0.88, respectively. Conclusions: Lesions resulting from VRFs can be distinguished from those of non-VRFs on 3D CBCT images with a high degree of accuracy, based on their different 3D shapes.

“…2,5,6,8,9,14,15 Although the results from in vitro studies regarding some endodontic armamentarium do not directly translate in to improved endodontic clinical outcome, 23 selection of right armamentarium is an important contributing factor to achieving clinically acceptable results. 17,22,24,25 The use of basic tools like rubber dam represent an effort to minimize microbial contamination of the root canal space while use of NiTi ensures minimal risk of introducing aberrations in the root canal space. 25 The limitations of this study include the presence of a percentage of inappropriately filled questions which could be improved by better designing and piloting of the questionnaires.…”

OBJECTIVE:The outcome of endodontic treatment is largely dependent on the selection of right armamentarium. The objective of this study was to determine the trends in contemporary endodontic practice of dental practitioners performing root canal treatment in Pakistan using a questionnaire based survey. METHODOLOGY: This was a cross sectional study. To meet the objective of this study 518 questionnaires were distributed among the dental practitioners performing root canal treatment and associated with the academic dental institutions of Pakistan. Incompletely filled questionnaires and practitioners not willing to participate were excluded from the study. The questionnaire comprised of 22 questions addressing various aspects of endodontic treatment and the responses to these questions were analyzed using SPSS 22 to calculate frequencies and percentages. RESULTS: A total of 409 completed questionnaires were returned bringing the response rate to about 79%. Most of the respondents performed more than 10 root canal treatment procedures in a month (51.8%) comprising of a combination of anterior and posterior teeth including retreatment cases (40.1%). The diagnosis of endodontic cases was primarily established by history and radiographs alone (39.1%). Only 19.3% of the respondents reported the use of dental loupes for magnification. The use of preoperative angled radiographs for endodontic procedures was reported by 51.3% of the respondents while only 36.7% made use of film holding devices. About 46.9% reported only occasional use of rubber dam. Most preferred obturation technique and type of endodontic sealer was identified as cold lateral compaction (53.1%) and Calcium hydroxide (32.5%) respectively. While 68.5% respondents preferred multiple appointments with Calcium hydroxide as the most commonly used intracanal medicament (57.2%). The use of anesthesia was restricted to access preparation (36.9%) while 44.5% relied on a combination of antibiotics and NSAIDs for interappointment pain management. Radiographs (39.9%) were the most preferred means for working length determination. Sodium Hypochlorite (39.1%) was the most preferred irrigant with 63.6% making occasional use of EDTA. Activation of irrigants (58.4%) was not routinely employed and use of NiTi (54.5%) rotary instruments was reported to be occasional. CONCLUSION: This study observed deficiencies among dental practitioners in Pakistan providing endodontic treatment which should be addressed to improve the quality of endodontic care.

“…In ex vivo-modellen is gebleken dat ultrasone activatie van natriumhypochloriet schonere wortelkanaalwanden oplevert dan alleen handirrigatie. Deze verbeterde reiniging leidt echter niet tot meer genezing van de parodontitis apicalis in vivo (Liang et al, 2013).…”
