Endodontic therapy of maxillary first molars can be difficult, especially when root canal morphology varies unexpectedly. The presence of two palatal canals is unusual in maxillary first molars. The presence of two palatal canals must be correctly diagnosed for appropriate treatm...
White spot lesions (WSL) are defined as surface and subsurface demineralization of enamel without the formation of a cavity. These lesions have always been an aesthetic concern for patients. There are different treatment options for these lesions. Recently a new micro-invasive te...
The anterior teeth are relatively prone to trauma. According to research, 37% of trauma cases involve the upper central incisors. Anterior tooth trauma resulting in a fracture fragment demands rapid care because of the psychological effects it has on the patient as well as the de...
Shade matching is a crucial aspect of restorative dentistry, playing a pivotal role in achieving aesthetic harmony and patient satisfaction. Replicating and reproducing the color of natural tooth with restorative material is a challenge. Shade selection is influenced by various f...
Root canal sealers are required an impenetrable seal between the core material and root canal dentin. In cultures, the majority of standard root canal sealers have shown inadequate biological activity and are cytotoxic, incredibly when freshly mixed. To address these drawbacks, b...
The end goal of endodontic treatment is to form a homogenous unit and achieve a fluid-tight seal in the root canals. The adhesion of the sealers to root dentin is important to avoid microleakage. With the introduction of the concept of bonding, the idea of creating a mechanically...
Tooth avulsion is one of the most common dental injuries following trauma. Even though the golden period for reimplantation of an avulsed tooth ranges from 20-30 minutes after the trauma, it is not possible in all scenarios. In such cases, the option of delayed reimplantation can...
The advances in biomimetic materials have seen a rapid rise in the last decade, with the introduction of several newer materials being launched into the market. These materials aim at preserving tooth structure, restoring the overall health of the tooth and making treatment outco...
