Journal ArticleDOI
Pulse oximetry: review of a potential aid in endodontic diagnosis.
TL;DR: Pulse oximetry is an effective, objective oxygen saturation monitoring technique broadly used in medicine for recording blood oxygen saturation levels and can also be used in endodontic diagnosis for differential diagnosis of vital pulps and necrotic ones.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of occlusal reduction on pain after endodontic instrumentation
TL;DR: Occlusal reduction should prevent postoperative pain in those patients whose teeth initially exhibit pulp vitality, percussion sensitivity, preoperative pain, and/or the absence of a periradicular radiolucency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tooth length determination: a review.
TL;DR: Pertinent literature is discussed with the aim of providing information on the development of the concept, techniques, and devices for tooth length determination.

The Effect of Immediate Vs. Delayed Post Space Preparation on the Apical Seal of a Root Canal Filling: A Study in an Increased-Sensitivity Pressure-Driven System
TL;DR: The results suggest that the pressure-driven system was more sensitive than the passive leakage assay that failed to detect differences even at 14 days, and a remaining root canal filling of 5 mm was inferior to the intact root canal fillings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Erbium: YAG Laser versus Ultrasonic in Preparation of Root-End Cavities
TL;DR: The results showed that cavities prepared with Er:YAG laser have significantly lower microleakage for all tested materials.
