Comparison between two methods of working length determination and its effect on radiographic extent of root canal filling: a clinical study [ISRCTN71486641].
TL;DR: Under the clinical conditions of this study, it is suggested that the correct use of an apex locator alone could prevent the need for further diagnostic radiographs for determination of working length, and can be useful in patients who need not to be exposed to repeated radiation because of mental, medical or oral conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of a dental operating microscope in improved nonsurgical treatment of “calcified” canals
TL;DR: Three cases illustrating successful nonsurgical treatment of "calcified" canals are presented and the dental operating microscope (Dentiscope) is an invaluable aid.

E. M. Maalouf,James L. Gutmann +1 more
TL;DR: The salient issues are discussed in light of thorough debridement of the root canal system, coupled with postulated mechanisms for the resolution of lesions displaying epithelial stands or cavities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy and safety of mepivacaine compared with lidocaine in local anaesthesia in dentistry: a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.
TL;DR: Given the efficacy and safety of the two solutions, 2% mepivacaine with vasoconstrictors is better than 2% lidocaine with Vasoconstrictionors in dental treatment and 3% plain mepvacaine is better for patients with cardiac diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of the sealing ability of four obturation techniques.
TL;DR: The Canal Finder system was compared with lateral condensation, the Ultrafil system, and the sectional warm gutta-percha techniques and there was no statistically significant difference.
