Al-Azhar Journal of Dentistry
Purpose: I-PRF was found to be effective in wound healing and bone regeneration, thus the purpose of this study was carried out to evaluate clinically and radiographically Injectable Platelet Rich Fibrin (I-PRF) around the immediate dental implant in the esthetic zone with xenograft. Material and methods: A total of twelve patients with unrestorable tooth/teeth in the esthetic zone were involved in this study. They were randomly divided into two groups; Group I (test group; n = 6) patients that received immediate implant placement with the use of I-PRF and xenograft and Group II (control group; n = 6) patients that …

Al-Azhar Journal of Dentistry
Purpose: The current investigation was carried out to estimate the influence of single and multiple NiTi rotary file systems on prevalence of postoperative pain following root canal instrumentation using mechanical or manual glide path techniques. Materials and methods: Forty participants with a sympotomatic irreversible pulpitis of mandibular molars were contributed in this randomized, controlled, clinical double blinded study. The participants were assigned into two main groups according to the gliding path system used then further subdivided into two subgroups according to the shaping system used. After access cavity preparation and working length determination, the glide path was prepared using either …
