ABSTRACT

Abstract The aim of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the amount of apically extruded debris by single-file reciprocating instruments with different working lengths and apical preparation sizes. Eighty human single-rooted mandibular incisors were used and conventional access cavities were prepared. Then, the specimens were divided into four groups (n=20), according to root canal instrumentation: Reciproc size 25, .08 taper and Reciproc size 40, .06 taper instruments were used at the foramen; Reciproc size 25, .08 taper and Reciproc size 40, .06 taper instruments were used 1 mm short of the foramen. Distilled water was used as an irrigant and the apically extruded debris were collected in pre-weighted glass vials and dried afterwards. The mean weight of debris was weighed with a microbalance and statistically analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and the post hoc Tukey multiple comparison test (p<0.05). The results showed that all experimental groups were associated with debris extrusion. No significant difference was found in the amount of apically extruded debris among all experimental groups (p>0.05). The present study demonstrated that the working length and the apical preparation size did not have a significant effect on debris extrusion when performing single-file reciprocating instrumentation.


Resumo Este estudo avaliou quantitativamente a quantidade de material extruído apicalmente pela instrumentação com lima única reciprocante, aplicando diferentes comprimentos de trabalho e tamanhos de preparo apical. Para a análise de extrusão foram utilizados oitenta incisivos inferiores unirradiculares humanos. Cavidades de acesso convencionais foram preparadas e os espécimes foram divididos em quatro grupos (n=20), de acordo com o tipo de instrumentação do canal: Reciproc 25, 0.08 e Reciproc 40, 0.06 foram utilizadas na instrumentação até o forame; Reciproc tamanho 25, 0.08 e Reciproc 40, 0,06 foram utilizadas na instrumentação até 1 mm aquém do forame. Água destilada foi empregada como irrigante e o material extruído apicalmente foi coletado em frascos de vidro já pesados e posteriormente submetidos a secagem. O peso médio de detritos foi avaliado com uma microbalança de precisão e os dados submetidos a ANOVA e teste Tukey (p<0,05). Todos os grupos experimentais foram associados à extrusão de debris. Nenhuma diferença significativa foi encontrada na quantidade de material extruído apicalmente entre os grupos (p>0,05). Este estudo demonstrou que o comprimento de trabalho e o tamanho do preparo apical não geraram efeito significativo sobre a extrusão de debris durante a instrumentação reciprocante.

ABSTRACT

Taurodontism is the consequence of a developmental disorder in which the invagination of Hertwig's epithelial root sheath doesn't occur at a proper level. As a result, the pulp body and the chamber of a multi-root tooth, usually permanent molar teeth, are enlarged by the apical displacement of the pulp floor. Despite its clinically normal appearance, the morphological variation of this tooth can be diagnosed by a routine radiographic exam that shows enlarged apico-occlusal pulp chamber and short roots. Due to these anatomical variations, endodontic treatment of a taurodontic element is a clinical challenge given the complexity of localization and instrumentation of the root canal system. According to the degree of displacement of the pulp floor, taurodontism can be classified as: hypotaurodontism, mesotaurodontism and hypertaurodontism. This study objective is to report a clinical case of a patient who was submitted to endodontic treatment of the second inferior molar affected by hypertaurodontism.

.

A taurodontia é consequência de um distúrbio de desenvolvimento em que a bainha epitelial de Hertwig não invagina corretamente em um nível normal, repercutindo em um aumento do corpo e da câmara pulpar de um dente multiradicular, predominantemente molares permanentes, pelo deslocamento do assoalho pulpar no sentido apical. Apesar de clinicamente aparentar-se como um dente normal, esta variação morfológica pode ser diagnosticada por exame radiográfico de rotina evidenciando câmara pulpar aumentadas em tamanho no sentido ápico-oclusal e raízes curtas. Devido a estas alterações anatômicas, o tratamento endodôntico de um elemento com taurodontia se torna um desafio clínico, já que é necessário um cuidado especial na localização e manejo do sistema de canais radiculares. De acordo com o grau de deslocamento apical do assoalho pulpar, a taurodontia pode ser classificada em: hipotaurodontia, mesotaurodontia e hipertaurodontia. O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar o caso clínico de um paciente que necessitou de tratamento endodôntico em um segundo molar inferior com hipertaurodontia.

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of reciprocating and rotary techniques for removing gutta-percha and sealer from root canals. Forty straight and oval single-rooted premolars were prepared up to size 30, filled with gutta-percha and sealer, and then randomly allocated to two experimental retreatment groups: ProTaper Retreatment System (PTRS) and WaveOne System (WS). Procedural errors, time of retreatment and apically extruded material were recorded for all the roots. The roots were radiographed after retreatment. The percentage of residual material was calculated using image analysis software. The data were analyzed by Kolmogorov-Smirnov and t tests, with a significance level set at 5%. No system completely removed the root filling material from the root canal. No significant differences were observed between the systems, in terms of residual filling material in any tested third (p > 0.05). WS was faster in removing filling material than PTRS (p< 0.05). Extrusion was observed in 4 cases in PTRS and in 5 cases in WS. No procedural errors were observed in either group. It can be concluded that although no differences were observed in the efficacy of PTRS and WS for removing root filling material, WS was faster than PTRS.

ABSTRACT

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been proven to be effectivein disinfecting root canals. The aim of this present study wasto evaluate the effects of PDT on the viability of Enterococcusfaecalis using methylene blue (MB) and malachite green(MG) as photosensitizers. Solutions containing E. faecalis(ATCC 29212) were prepared and harvested by centrifugationto obtain cell suspensions, which were mixed with MBand MG. Samples were individually irradiated by the diodelaser at a distance of 1mm for 30, 60, or 120 seconds. Colonyformingunits (CFU) were determined for each treatment.PDT for 60 and 120 seconds with MG reduced E. faecalis viabilitysignificantly. Similar results were obtained when MBwas used as photosensitizer. PDT using MB and MG haveantibacterial effect against E. faecalis, showing potential tobe used as an adjunctive antimicrobial procedure in endodontictherapy...

ABSTRACT

Aim: To evaluate the cytotoxicity of several storage media (coconut water, whole milk, isotonicsolution, Hank´s Balanced Salt Solution and tap water) using a multiparametric cytotoxicity analysisemploying 3T3 cells. Methods: Plates containing confluent 3T3 fibroblasts were exposed to thevarious media for 24h, at 37°C with 5% CO2, and cell viability was evaluated by a multiparametricassay assessing sequentially, on the same cells, mitochondrial activity (XTT), membrane integrity(neutral red test), and total cell density (crystal violet dye exclusion test). Results from each testwere compared by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: Statistical analysis showedthat whole milk and HBSS were the most effective media in maintaining cell viability at all testedtimes (p<0.05). Isotonic and tap water showed the highest cytotoxicity effects. Conclusions: Thisstudy shows that whole milk and HBSS are more efficient in maintaining the viability of 3T3fibroblasts as demonstrated by three different cell viability tests.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o efeito antimicrobiano do Paramonoclorofenol Canforado (PMCFC) e do Tricresol Formalina (TF) frente ao Enterococcus faecalis utilizando uma nova metodologia para simular a volatilização dos compostos. Enterococcus faecalis foram inoculados em placas de Petri com BHI, na qual foram fincados escalpes contendo algodão embebido em PMCFC e TF. Bolinhas de algodão sem medicação foram utilizadas como controle negativo. Após 48 horas de cultivo, foi avaliada a formação de halos de inibição de crescimento bacteriano. Pode-se constatar que o grupo com TF produziu halos de inibição em 100% dos escalpes, enquanto o PMCFC e o controle negativo não produziram halo de inibição. Conclui-se que somente o TF apresentou atividade antimicrobiana por volatilização.


The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of paramonochlorophenol and tricresol formalin using a new methodology to simulate the volatilization of these substances. Enterococcus faecalis were inoculated em petri dishes with BHI and mm scalps containing cotton balls soaked with the tested substances were stucked in the petri dishes. Cotton balls without medication were used as negative control. After 48 hours the inhibition halo formation was evaluated. The results showed that tricresol formalin group presented inhinition zones in 100% of scalps, while paramochlorophenol and control group produced no inhibition zone. The results suggested that the vapor of formalin tricresol has antibacterial activity; however paramonochlorophenol was unable to exert antibacterial activity from the volatilization of its gases.

ABSTRACT

Aim: To establish a preliminary investigation about the possibility to achieve patency of second mesiobuccal canal (MB2) in mesiobuccal roots of maxillary molars. Methods: Three hundred and five first maxillary molars were examined with direct vision and with magnification. The root canal configurations were classified according to the possibility to achieve patency in MB2 canals. Clearing technique was also performed to illustrate root canal anatomy and verify the presence of extra canals not identified with magnification. Results: The prevalence of MB2 canals detected only with direct vision was 53.4% and the use of the surgical operating microscope increased rate detection to 90.7%. The clearing technique revealed the presence of MB2 canal in 12 more teeth (94.7%). In 49.1% of the localized MB2 canals, it was not possible to achieve patency. Conclusions: The findings of the presented study revealed that it was only possible to achieve patency in 50.9% of the MB2 canals, showing that achieve patency in the MB2 canal is much more challenging than locating them.

ABSTRACT

Aim: To evaluate the clinical reproducibility of three electronic apex locators (EALs), Joypex 5,RomiApex A-15 and Novapex. Methods: Twenty-five patients requiring endodontic treatmentwere selected. Sixty root canals were measured by the three EALs to determine their respectiveworking length, which was defined as a zero reading on the EAL. A new K-file of the same sizewas used for each measurement. The file length was fixed with a rubber stop and measured witha caliper to an accuracy of 0.1 mm. Data were analyzed statistically using paired t-tests with theBonferroni correction and Bland-Altman plot to determine the reproducibility of clinical dataamong the EALs. Significance level was set at 5%. Results: Mean and standard deviationvalues measured by the three EALs showed no statistically significant differences. Identicalreadings by all three EALs were found in 38% of root canals. Fifty percent differed by less than± 1.0 mm and only 1.3% exceeded a difference of 2.0 mm. Conclusions: The clinicalreproducibility of the three devices was confirmed with no significant differences among them,indicating that they are effective for clinical use.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To compare rat subcutaneous connective tissue reaction to dentine contaminated with Enterococcus faecalis associated with 0.9% sterile saline, 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and 2% chlorhexidine gel (CHX). METHODS: Dentine was crushed into powder and inoculated with E. faecalis. Tested substances were mixed with contaminated dentine and placed in polyethylene tubes. Ten male Wistar rats had their backs divided into four quadrants that received an implant containing one of the tested substances. An empty tube was used as a control. Five rats were randomly distributed for evaluation at time intervals of 24 hours and 72 hours. Tissue samples were histologically processed. Tissue reactions to experimental groups were evaluated under optical microscopes. RESULTS: Groups of 5.25% NaOCl induced greater inflammatory response after 24 hours and 72 hours. Compared to groups of 2% CHX, the groups of 0.9% sterile saline showed milder inflammatory reactions after 24 hours and more severe after 72 hours. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that 5.25% NaOCl group showed a higher inflammatory reaction to rat subcutaneous connective tissue and the 2% chlorhexidine group showed the least reaction.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O objetivo deste estudo in vitro foi avaliar a precisão dos localizadores apicais eletrônicos (LAEs) Novapex® e Root ZX II® na detecção de perfurações radiculares simuladas. Metodologia: Após a remoção da porção coronária de 35 dentes, perfurações artificiais foram realizadas no terço médio com brocas de diferentes diâmetros (01, 04, 08). Os dentes foram então divididos em quatro grupos: três grupos experimentais, com dez dentes, e o grupo de controle, com cinco dentes. Todos foram embebidos em solução salina 0,9% e as determinações eletrônicas da localização das perfurações foram realizadas com os LAEs. Uma lima 10 tipo K foi inserida nos canais até que os LAEs indicassem que tivesse atingido a marca de 0. Logo após, os cursores foram ajustados em uma referência externa. Três medidas foram tomadas para cada dente e obtida uma média. Resultados: Os resultados mostram que o maior diâmetro da perfuração aumentou a sensibilidade LAEs na localização das perfurações. Para comparação de medidas reais com as medidas fornecidas pelo LAE, nos casos em que os LAEs foram capazes de localizar a perfuração, o teste t de student foi utilizado (p < 0,05), não apresentando diferença estatisticamente significante en-tre as diferentes perfurações e os diferentes LAEs. Con-clusão: Os LAEs testados foram precisos e confiáveis na determinação de perfurações de raiz, sendo capazes de auxiliar no diagnóstico clínico desta patologia.

ABSTRACT

O presente relato descreve uma reabsorção cervical externa em incisivo central superior previamente tratado endodônticamente em paciente de 19 anos. A cavidade reabsortiva foi observada apicalmente à crista alveolar, na superfície mesio-palatina. A etiologia da reabsorção foi atribuída ao trauma, por destruição local do ligamento periodontal devido avulsão na adolescência. O retratamento endodôntico, seguido de reconstituição da cavidade reabsortiva com resina fotopolimerizável sob abordagem cirúrgica foram realizados. Após 6 meses, o elemento em questão não apresentou nenhum sintoma patológico. A remoção do tecido de granulação oriundo da cavidade reabsortiva e o selamento da mesma são fundamentais para o processo de cicatrização. Os objetivos do tratamento do presente caso eram: prevenir a progressão do processo reabsortivo e viabilizar o tratamento ortodôntico. Este relato é de interesse multidisciplinar, onde o dilema clínico da recorrência do quadro patológico em função do tratamento ortodôntico e os riscos de insucesso do tratamento foram discutidos.


This case report describes an external cervical resorption in a maxillary central incisor in a patient previously treated endodontically. The resorption cavity was observed apically to the alveolar crest in the mesio-palatal surfaces. The etiology of resorption was attributed to trauma by local destruction of the periodontal ligament as result of an teeth avulsion in adolescence. The endodontic retreatment, followed by reconstitution of the resorption cavity with light-cured resin were performed under surgical approach. After twelve months, the element in question did not show any pathological symptom. The removal of granulation tissue from the resorption cavity and the cavity seal are key to the healing process. The goals of treatment of this case were: to prevent the progression of the resorptive process and facilitate orthodontic treatment. This is a multidisciplinary interest report, where the clinical dilemma of recurrence of the pathological picture in the light of orthodontic treatment and risk of treatment failure were discussed.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: avaliar in vitro a eficiência do localizador apical eletrônico Novapex (Fórum Technologies, Israel)em determinar o comprimento de trabalho, quando utilizado em situações clínicas diferentes, como em dentes com reabsorções externas e internas simuladas.Métodos: para isso, foram usados 30 dentes humanos unirradiculares extraídos (caninos inferiores), com ápices completamente formados e com o mesmo padrão de volume na região apical, utilizando-se apenas sua porção radicular. Inicialmente, cada dente teve seu comprimento determinado visualmente, com uma lima tipo K #10 até o aparecimento dessa no forame apical,de onde se recuou 1mm, definindo a medida do comprimento de trabalho real. A medida foi tomada novamente com a utilização do aparelho localizador apical eletrônico Novapex e considerada como comprimento eletrônico inicial. Logo após, foram preparados os desgastes para simular as reabsorções externas e internas.As medidas foram tomadas novamente com o aparelho,e as mesmas foram tabuladas e analisadas. Resultados:o Novapex foi altamente preciso quando consideradas variações de 1mm aquém da medida predeterminada.Conclusão: através desse estudo, constatou-se que o localizador apical Novapex foi eficaz, mostrando-se um método confiável, e nenhuma interferência significativa na sua leitura foi detectada quando da presença de reabsorções externas e internas simuladas

ABSTRACT

Fue evaluada la superficie de conos de gutapercha después de ser calibrados con cinco diferentes métodos de corte, incluyendo el nuevo dispositivo TipSnip. Los conos de gutapercha fueron cortadoscon TipSnip, con un corte con hoja de bisturí en regla calibrada, con corte de ida y vuelta con hoja de bisturí en reglacalibrada, con hoja de afeitar sobre una platina de vidrio, o con tijeras. Las muestras fueron observadas bajo microscopía estereoscópica y examinadas por tres evaluadores altamente calificados y previamente calibrados utilizado el coeficiente Kappa con intervalo de confianza del 95 por ciento; todos los resultados fueron tabulados y analizados estadísticamente mediante el test no paramétrico deKruskal-Wallis con un nivel de significancia del 5 por ciento. El corte con tijeras produjo significativas irregularidades en la superficie delcono, siendo el grupo con peores resultados. El corte con TipSnip,el corte de ida y vuelta con hoja de bisturí, y la hoja de afeitar obtuvieron los mejores resultados. Una superficie regular en la punta de los conos de gutapercha mejora la adaptación apical, y esto puede conseguirse por medio de diferentes métodos de corte.

ABSTRACT

Aim: To determine the time required for the recontamination of root canals medicated with four different materials. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 intact, caries-free, human single-rooted teeth with straight roots were selected for this study. After chemo-mechanical preparation they must be changed in the specimens into seven groups: 10 teeth medicated with calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH) 2) + Camphorated paramonochlorophanol (CPMC) (G.1); 10 medicated with 2.5% Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCL) (G.2); 10 medicated with 2% Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHX) in gel (G.3); 10 medicated with 2% CHX in gel + Ca(OH) 2 (G.4); 10 without intracanal medicament and sealed with a coronal temporary filling (G.5). Five teeth were without intracanal medicament and coronally unsealed, used as the positive control group (PC) (G.6) and 5 teeth with intact crowns used as the negative control group (NC) (G.7). Glass vials with rubber stoppers were adjusted for use. The medicaments were prepared and injected into the root canals using sterile plastic syringes. An apparatus was used to evaluate for 30 days leakage. The chamber was filled with 3 ml of human saliva and Brain Heart Infusion (BHI) broth, incubated at 37°C and checked daily for the appearance of turbidity in the BHI broth. Results: Recontamination was detected after an average time of 2.6 days in group 2, 15.9 days in group 3, 30 days in group 1, 27.6 days in group 4, 2.9 days in group 5, 1 day in the positive control, and there was no contamination in the negative control group. Conclusion : The NaOCl group showed the highest worst average of recontamination; on the other hand, high averages were also shown by Ca(OH) 2 + CPMC and Ca(OH) 2 + 2% CHX in gel.

ABSTRACT

Atualmente as brocas de Gates-Glidden ainda são os instrumentos mais utilizados para o preparo do terço cervical dos canais radiculares. Apesar de sua eficiência no corte, acidentes dentro do canal radicular podem ser evitados com os cuidados inerentes a esse tipo de instrumento. Acidentes podem ocorrer também fora do canal, principalmente quando a broca ainda permanece no contra-ângulo na área de trabalho do profissional. O presente trabalho apresenta um acidente envolvendo a fratura de uma broca de Gates-Glidden no braço de um aluno de graduação e visa ratificar a importância dos pequenos cuidados durante o uso destes instrumentos na prática clínica.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to evaluate the remaining dentine/cementum thickness using Gates-Glidden burs in serial and crown-down sequences and to observe which of the two sequences is the safest for preparing mesial roots of molars. Thirty-six left and right human mandibular first molars were selected. Standard access cavities were made and initially explored with Flexofiles sizes 10 and 15 until the tip was visible at the apex. The teeth were embedded in a muffle specially developed for this study using a PVC tube with two parallel metal rods in its lid. Each tooth-block was sectioned 3 mm apically to the furcation using a low-speed saw with a diamond disc. The tooth-block was examined under a microscope and an initial image was captured by a digital video system with 8 X and 12 X magnifications. Finally, the tooth-blocks were reassembled in the muffle so that the canals could be instrumented. After instrumentation the area of each mesial canal as well as the smallest distance to the root furcation were measured again. The mesio-buccal canals (crown-down order) and the mesio-lingual canals (serial sequence) presented an average area of 0.46 ± 0.16 mm² and 0.88 ± 0.27 mm² (P < 0.01), respectively. The mean values of the smallest distance to the furcation for the mesio-buccal and mesio-lingual canals were 0.66 ± 0.19 mm and 0.39 ± 0.13 mm (P < 0.01), respectively. The remaining dentine/cementum thickness using Gates-Glidden burs was greater in the crown-down sequence than in the serial sequence.
