Clinical Implications and Microbiology of Bacterial Persistence after Treatment Procedures
TLDR

Mineral trioxide aggregate: a comprehensive literature review--Part I: chemical, physical, and antibacterial properties.
TL;DR: MTA is a bioactive material that influences its surrounding environment and possesses some antibacterial and antifungal properties, depending on its powder-to-liquid ratio.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of contemporary irrigant agitation techniques and devices
TL;DR: An overview of the irrigant agitation methods currently available and their debridement efficacy and the need for studies that could more effectively evaluate specific irrigation methods by using standardized debris or biofilm models is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Histologic Investigation of Root Canal–treated Teeth with Apical Periodontitis: A Retrospective Study from Twenty-four Patients
TL;DR: The present findings support the role of intraradicular infections, usually in the form of biofilms, as the primary cause of endodontic treatment failure.

One- versus Two-visit Endodontic Treatment of Teeth with Apical Periodontitis: A Histobacteriologic Study
Jorge Vera,José F. Siqueira,Domenico Ricucci,Simona Loghin,Nancy Fernández,Belina Flores,Alvaro Cruz +6 more
TL;DR: Residual bacteria were more frequent and abundant in ramifications, isthmuses, and dentinal tubules when root canals were treated without an interappointment medication when compared with the 1- or 2-visit protocol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fate of the tissue in lateral canals and apical ramifications in response to pathologic conditions and treatment procedures.
TL;DR: Overall, the belief that lateral canals must be injected with filling material to enhance treatment outcome was not supported by literature review or by histopathologic observations.

The effects of surgical exposures of dental pulps in germ-free and conventional laboratory rats
TL;DR: The results indicate that the presence or absence of a microbial flora is the major determinant in the healing of exposed rodent pulps, even in the face of gross food impactions.

Pathways of the Pulp
Stephen Cohen,Richard C. Burns +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter discusses Endodontic-Periodontic Interrelationships, Pulp Development, Structure and Function, Pulpal Reaction to Caries and Dental Procedures, and Digital Technologies in Endodonic Practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors affecting the long-term results of endodontic treatment
TL;DR: The predictability from clinical and radiographic signs of the treatment-outcome in individual cases with preoperative periapical lesions cases was found to be low and factors which were not measured or identified may be critical to the outcome of endodontic treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Root canal irrigants.
TL;DR: Based on the actions and interactions of currently available solutions, a clinical irrigating regimen is proposed and some technical aspects of irrigating the root canal system are discussed, and recent trends are critically inspected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbiologic analysis of teeth with failed endodontic treatment and the outcome of conservative re-treatment
TL;DR: The microbial flora in canals after failed endodontic therapy differed markedly from the flora in untreated teeth, and infection at the time of root filling and size of the periapical lesion had a negative influence on the prognosis.
