Diagnosis Dilemmas in Vital Pulp Therapy: Treatment for the Toothache Is Changing, Especially in Young, Immature Teeth
TL;DR: The available literature and current techniques of indirect pulp therapy, pulp capping, and pulpotomy for primary teeth and permanent teeth with open apex and the apical barrier with mineral trioxide aggregate followed by root strengthening with bonded composite is reviewed.

Shaping ability of Lightspeed rotary nickel-titanium instruments in simulated root canals. Part 2.
S. A. Thompson,P.M.H. Dummer +1 more
TL;DR: Overall, Lightspeed rotary instruments prepared canals well and would appear to be a valuable addition to the endodontic armamentarium.

Fracture resistance of endodontically treated premolars restored with ormocer and packable composite.
TL;DR: In this study, mesiodistocclusal cavity preparations of endodontically treated maxillary premolars that were enlarged to size #50 were restored using three restorative materials (one ormocer, one packable composite, and one high-copper amalgam) and two application techniques (with or without coronal radicular technique).
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of moisture on the apical seal of root canal fillings with five different types of sealer.
TL;DR: Moisture led to less microleakage for Apexit, RoekoSeal, and Tubli-Seal and higher values for AH Plus and Ketac-Endo and lower values forAH Plus and ketac- endo.

An in vitro histological comparison of the step-back, sonic, and ultrasonic instrumentation techniques in small, curved root canals
TL;DR: The effectiveness of different methods of root canal instrumentation in small, curved canals was assessed by histological examination and showed significant differences among the four canal preparation methods in all evaluation categories.
