Evaluation of the combination of flurbiprofen and tramadol for management of endodontic pain.
TL;DR: The results suggest that a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug/opiate combination, together with endodontic therapy, may be useful in the management of endODontic pain.

Gender Differences in Analgesia for Endodontic Pain
Jeffrey L. Ryan,Badri Jureidini,James S. Hodges,Michael K. Baisden,James Q. Swift,Walter R. Bowles +5 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the analgesic efficacy of three oral medication groups on postoperative endodontic pain in male and female dental patients found that ibuprofen 600 mg provided statistically significantly greater analgesia than placebo at 6 and 12 hours; sex-dependent differences were noted within the pentazocine/naloxone group, which showed significantly greater agony in females compared with males.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of smear layer removal at the root tip by using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and erbium, chromium: yttrium, scandium, gallium garnet laser.
TL;DR: Use of a laser with a plain fiber tip, which produces cavitation in the irrigant, has potential as an improved alternative method for removing of the smear layer from the apical region of a straight root canal.

The diffusion of innovation in dentistry: A review using rotary nickel-titanium technology as an example
Peter Parashos,Harold H. Messer +1 more
TL;DR: The diffusion of innovation in dentistry is reviewed, with an emphasis on the adoption of rotary nickel-titanium endodontic instruments and the importance of both dental school teaching and continuing education in Dentistry is highlighted.
