ABSTRACT El objetivo principal de la obturación endodóntica es rellenar de manera hermética y tridimensional el sistema de conductos radiculares con materiales inertes, antisépticos y/o bioactivos que estimulen el proceso de reparación o no lo interfieran. La utilización de agentes selladores para la obturación endodóntica es esencial para rellenar las irregularidades del conducto y las pequeñas discrepancias entre la pared.. Read more
ABSTRACT Endodontic retreatment is carried out in cases that previous endodontic therapies failed. The main cause of treatment failure is bacterial persistence within the root canal or coronal leakage after treatment. The key factor to achieve success should be to evaluate whether retreatment is viable from a pathological and restorative point of view. The literature reports a success rate ranging.. Read more
ABSTRACT Objective. To compare canal transportation in simulated double-curved root canals afterinstrumentation with the Reciproc® R25 and Reciproc® Blue R25 files. Materials and methods. Thirty Endo Training Block-S models were dyed with black India ink and photographed. The resin blocks were randomly divided into two groups: A and B (n = 15). The canals were instrumented with the Reciproc R25.. Read more

Materiales y métodos: Se utilizaron 20 Endo Training Blocks con conductos curvos. Los conductos fueron teñidos con tinta china. Los bloques fueron divididos al azar en dos grupos, A y B, de 10 bloques cada uno. En el.. Read more
ABSTRACT Multiple techniques and materials have been described for apexogenesis and apexification in immature permanent teeth. Two cases in which mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been used as the material are described herein. In the first case, vital pulp capping was achieved in the left second mandibular premolar with vital pulp and a deep carious lesion. Dental pulp vitality was.. Read more
ABSTRACT Objetivo: Comparar ex vivo la conformación obtenida con los sistemas WaveOne y ProTaper Universal en conductos mesiales de molares inferiores humanos. Materiales y métodos: Se emplearon 16 raíces mesiales de molares inferiores humanos, extraídos por causa periodontal, con 2 conductos radiculares independientes cada uno. Las raíces fueron montadas en un typodont, y se tomaron imágenes preoperatorias con un tomógrafo.. Read more
