Would Access Cavity Design Affect The Mechanical Behaviour Of Tooth: A Finite Element Study, Muhammad Ashraf Elhusseini, Engy Kataia, Hala Khalil

International Arab Journal of Dentistry

Two distinct access cavity designs were used to access Two simulated finite element models (FE). (Lingual (LAC) and incisal (IAC)). Three experimental FE models, including the IT model, were developed: LAC and IAC. For every simulated model, one distinct radicular preparations was carried out of size #30/.04. The incisal edge was subjected to an occlusal cycle load of 120 N. The maximum von mises stresses (VMS), maximum principal stresses (MPS), and stress distribution patterns were assessed and calculated quantitatively. It was concluded that the mandibular incisor's biomechanical behavior is significantly influenced by the size of the access design. Biomechanically the …

Effect Of Taper And Pitch On Nickle-Titanium File With Variable Cross Section To Its Cyclic Fatigue (In Silico Study), Yustika Chrysandra, Tunjung Nugraheni, Wignyo Hadriyanto

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

The geometric design of an endodontic file includes cross-sectional shape, taper, and pitch. NiTi endodontic files of OneCurve (MicroMega) are made of two variations of cross-sectional shape, that is, double-s shaped and triple helix. Various kinds of modifications were made to increase the resistance of the NiTi endodontic files from fracture. Cyclic fatigue is the most common factor that causes a fracture of the endodontic file. Objective: The purpose of this study was to obtain a NiTi endodontic file design that has the best cyclic resistance value based on its taper size and number of pitch. Methods: This …

Synopsis On The Role Of Diode Laser In Root Canal Disinfection, Ashraf Abu-Seida, Mohamed El-Tayeb, Elhassan Hassanein

International Arab Journal of Dentistry

Effective root canal disinfection is necessary for success of endodontic treatment. Traditional chemo-mechanical techniques such as sodium hypochlorite, mechanical preparation and calcium hydroxide used for intracanal disinfection usually fail in cases of biofilm-related infections. Therefore, several new strategies are applied for root canal disinfection. One of these strategies is using of diode laser that has recently gained significant attention in the endodontic practice due to its antibacterial action, bio-stimulation, decrease of pain and improvement of success. Moreover, it has several advantages like its low cost, easily application, penetration power into dentine and smaller size device compared with other types of …

Aesthetic Rehabilitation Of A Complex Crown-Root Fracture By Fragment Reattachment With A Fiber-Reinforced Post: A Case Report, Sarra Saidi, Meriem Fejjeri, Mahdi Tlili, Sabra Jaafoura, Nadia Frih

International Arab Journal of Dentistry

Complex crown-root fractures are characterized by the involvement of both crown and root with pulp exposure. They pose aesthetic, functional, and psychological problems for the patient. Furthermore, they can pose technical difficulties for the practitioner. The purpose of this case report is to describe the management of a complex crown-root fracture of the right upper central incisor with subgingival limit by reattaching the tooth fragment with fiber-reinforced post. We considered a coronal elongation (gingivectomy and osteoplasty) to recreate the biological space and to expose the limit of the fracture line to guarantee the quality of the bond.

Diagnosis And Endodontic Treatment Of Odontogenic Cutaneous Sinus Tracts: A Report Of Two Cases, Mayada Jemâa, Marwenne Bouatay, Yesmine Neifar, Mohamed Bassem Khattech

International Arab Journal of Dentistry

Introduction: The odontogenic cutaneous sinus tract (OCST), caused by pulp necrosis, creates connections between pathological spaces and anatomical structures. Extraoral manifestations pose diagnostic challenges leading to inappropriate treatments such as multiple surgery and antibiotic therapies. Effective management requires the treatment of dental pathology through endodontic therapy or extraction. This paper presents two cases of OCST and emphasizes the importance of accurate diagnosis and successful non-surgical endodontic treatment.

Observations: Case report 1: A 23-year-old male patient referred by his dermatologist with a cutaneous sinus tract on his chin that had appeared five years ago. During this period, he reported …

Clinical Significance Of Gutta Percha Variability, Alex R. Pancake

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Introduction: The production of gutta percha points as root canal therapy filling materials vary from hand processing to machine processing with a range of acceptable levels of error (tolerance). Similarly, endodontic files manufactured to complement corresponding gutta percha points exhibit specified levels of tolerance. Investigations into the consistency among manufacturers of files and gutta percha points is limited. The aim of this study is to see how variability in apical gauge and taper of gutta percha points affected the clinical performance during cone try in. The null hypothesis of this study is that there is no difference in two gutta …
