Material and Methods : Eighty-four extracted lower first molars were allocated to two groups based on access cavity design: ultraconservative (UCAC) and traditional (TAC). Each group was further subdivided for obturation with either lateral condensation (LC) or continuous wave compaction (CWC). Stereo-microscopic analysis assessed void percentage within the obturation material in the distal canal. Results: continuous wave obturation technique demonstrably reduced void formation compared to lateral condensation (p < 0.05), irrespective of access cavity design or location within the canal. The UCAC design exhibited a generally higher void percentage compared to TAC (p < 0.05), although the statistical significance varied depending on the obturation technique employed. The apical third of the distal canal consistently displayed the highest void percentages, likely attributable to inherent anatomical complexities. Conclusion : These findings suggested a potential challenge in optimizing both tooth structure preservation and obturation quality. While UCAC minimizes tooth removal, it might necessitate obturation techniques like CWC that offer superior void reduction capabilities, particularly in scenarios with limited access. Further research is warranted to explore strategies for mitigating void formation in UCAC preparations and to refine obturation techniques for achieving optimal long-term outcomes in endodontic therapy.","PeriodicalId":11504,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian dental journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141713021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methodology: 132 extracted mandibular premolars were prepared and split, artificial cavities were placed on both teeth segments 5 mm from root apex then teeth segments were brought back together and fixed in epoxy resin model. Models were randomly assigned to six groups (n=22) according to the root canal filling and retreatment protocol. Group 1: (filled with GP + BC sealer and retreated using XP-endo Finisher). Group 2: (filled with GP + Resin sealer and retreated using XP-endo Finisher). Group 3: (filled with GP + BC sealer and retreated using XP-endo Shaper). Group 4: (filled with GP + Resin sealer and retreated using XP-endo Shaper). Group 5: (filled with GP + BC sealer and retreated using PUI). Group 6: (filled with GP + Resin sealer and retreated using PUI). Samples were incubated for 4 weeks then teeth were extracted from epoxy model and split again to evaluate sealer removability under digital light microscope. Results: No significant difference were found between the six groups when it comes to sealer removability Van der Sluis score (p = 0.013). Group 5 showed the highest Van der Sluis score followed by groups 1, 2, 4 and 6 without significant difference between them. Group 3 showed a significantly lower Van der Sluis score than group 5. There was no significant difference between group 3 and groups 1, 2, 4 and 6 in the Van der Sluis score. Conclusion: No treatment protocol was able to eliminate all sealer remnant effectively. Resin based sealer showed no significant difference when compared to Bioceramic based sealer when it comes to sealer removability, the exception was that XP-endo shaper showed significantly better results when compared to passive ultrasonic activation which has failed to remove Bioceramic remnants compared to XP-endo shaper.","PeriodicalId":11504,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian dental journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141690359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this research was to present a radiographic technique for evaluating the gain of soft tissue with computer guided advancement genioplasty versus specific-patient PEEK chin implants in patients having recessed chins. Materials and methods: Patients with recessed chins who required corrective genioplasty were selected and divided arbitrarily and evenly into 2 groups. Group A underwent computer-guided advancement genioplasty. While, Group B was given a specific-patient PEEK onlay chin implant. Preoperative and 1-year postoperative CT images were superimposed, and the 3D produced soft tissue shapes were compared. Patients were provided with information on the study’s purpose, as well as the potential risks and advantages associated with the surgery and treatment plan. Verbal consent was obtained from all patients to confirm their approval to participate in the present study. Results: Ten patients were included in each group. The chin advancement mean in Group A was 7.569 mm ± 0.82 having significantly higher mean than 6.20 mm ± 1.26 for Group B . The 1 year gain of soft tissue mean in Group A was 7.195 mm ± 0.67 having significantly higher mean than 4.745 mm ± 1.65 for Group B .

The evaluation encompasses both the fresh and set states of these sealers, employing the MTT assay on human periodontal ligament fibroblasts. Materials and methods: Following the manufacturers’ instructions, the four tested sealers were blended in a sterile environment and then placed into standardized plastic rings. Extracts derived from the tested sealers were applied to human periodontal ligament fibroblasts. The freshly mixed sealers were examined immediately after mixing, with their extracts prepared at that moment. On the other hand, the remaining specimens, designated as set specimens, were incubated in a humidified environment with 5% CO2 and 95% air at 37º C for 24 hours before extraction to create extracts of the tested sealers. The extracted material was then diluted with DMEM to achieve twelve distinct concentrations of each extract 50%, 25%, 12.5%, 6.25%, 3.12%, 1.56%, 0.78%, 0.4%, 0.2%, 0.1%, 0.05%, and 0.025%. The cytotoxicity of all root canal sealers was evaluated using the MTT assay, followed by the calculation of cell viability percentages.
