C shaped canal anatomy is most commonly seen in mandibular second molars and to some extent mandibular premolars. Such canals are difficult to negotiate, debride/disinfect and obturate due to its high incidence of fins, webs, lateral canals and anastomoses. Inability to identify and debride such canal anatomy may lead to endodontic failure. Case Report: These case series highlights on two different c shaped canals with two different obturation techniques. Conclusion: Complexity of C shaped canal morphology can be managed successfully with proper irrigation and obturation techniques.","PeriodicalId":13838,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Dental Sciences","volume":"241 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90376538","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}

Aim: To evaluate the effect of different air blasting pressure of PEEK on surface roughness and shear bond strength to adhesive resin cement. Materials and Methods: 24 discs of BioHPP PEEK (bredent, UK) were manufactured. Samples were air blasted with 110 μm Al 2 O 3 particles for 10 seconds at distance of 10 mm and divided into 3 groups according to pressure. Group A: 3 bar, Group B: 2.5 bar and Group C: 3.5 bar. Surface roughness was measured by SEM, Visio Link primer (Bredent, Germany) was applied and cured then G-CEM resin cement (GC, Japan) was applied and cured. Shear bond strength was measured using universal testing machine. EDX analysis was done, and failure mode was detected by stereo-microscope. Results: Statistical analysis showed that roughness average (Ra) increased by increasing pressure, Group B was significantly the lowest ( p < 0.05), while there was insignificant difference between other groups (P > 0.05). Regarding shear bond strength, Group A recorded (12.6864 ± 2.486 MPa), Group B (11.2842 ± 1.555 MPa) and Group C (10.1024 ± 2.317 MPa), there was significantly statistical difference between Groups A & C ( p < 0.05). The failure mode was mainly adhesive in group C and mixed in groups A & B. EDX analysis showed an increase in Carbon and Silica and a decrease in Oxygen and Aluminum weight percentages after the bond strength test. Conclusion: Increasing the air blasting pressure up to 3 bar increases the surface roughness and bond strength to resin cement, but more than 3 bar showed unfavorable surface roughness and decreased bond strength.","PeriodicalId":13838,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Dental Sciences","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87557992","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 study was conducted in 20 completely edendulous patients, 10 complete dentures were fabricated with short curing cycle and 10 dentures with long curing cycle. All of the initial clinical steps involved in fabrication of dentures, with the exception of the curing cycle, were the same for both the groups. Vertical dimension of occlusion was measured with digital vernier caliper from specific points of reference on upper and lower member of articulator at 3 stages, stage 1 before polymerization, stage 2 after remounting the processed complete dentures and stage 3 after remounting of finished and polished complete dentures. In order to determine the change in vertical dimension, the measurement recorded prior to processing the dentures was subtracted from the measurement recorded just after processing as well as the one recorded after finishing & polishing. The readings were statistically analyzed and compared. Both the groups demonstrated a highly significant increase in VDO after processing of dentures. On comparison between both the groups, non significant results were obtained in the mean difference in VDO just after processing and after finishing & polishing of dentures. The clinical relevance of these changes does not confirm the superiority of any one curing cycle in terms of dimensional changes in VDO after processing.","PeriodicalId":13838,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Dental Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91058047","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}
