Torch ginger or kecombrang (Etlingera elatior), a spice plant, is reported to contain bioactive compounds with antibacterial properties. This study investigates the antibacterial efficacy of ethanolic extract of torch ginger against Enterococcus faecalis, evaluating its potential as an alternative irrigant based on minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and effective concentration. Samples included Enterococcus faecalis ATCC® 29212™ and 70% ethanol extract of torch ginger, tested in eight concentrations (80%, 75%, 65%, 50%, 25%, 12.5%, 6.25%, and 3.125%) obtained through maceration, alongside two control groups (NaOCl and saline). The Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method was employed to determine MIC, while the streaking method from MIC testing identified MBC. Data analysis for MIC and MBC values was conducted using the One-Way ANOVA parametric test (p < 0.05). Torch ginger extract demonstrated antibacterial activity against Enterococcus faecalis, with inhibition observed at a minimum concentration of 3.125% with average inhibition zone diameter of 9.63 ± 0.25 mm and reaching up to 80% concentration with average inhibition zone diameter of 15.03 ± 0.21 mm. The MIC was established at 3.125%, and the MBC among the tested concentrations was 80%. The study concludes that the ethanolic extract of torch ginger shows significant antibacterial activity against Enterococcus faecalis. An 80% concentration is identified as the most effective for inhibiting and killing the pathogen, suggesting its potential as an alternative root canal irrigant of primary teeth.","PeriodicalId":197045,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Dental and Oral Health","volume":"36 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141815037","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}

{"title":"Evaluation of Obturating Material Removal from Root Canal by Hedstrom and Rotary Retreatment File","authors":"Farjana Bashar, Akm Bashar, Mohammad Mahmudul Hasan Khan, Atiyah Hasin, Md. Asaduszaman, Mozammal Hossain","doi":"10.24018/ejdent.2024.5.2.320","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.24018/ejdent.2024.5.2.320","url":null,"abstract":"An in vitro investigation was conducted to assess the efficacy of Hedstrom and Rotary Retreatment File using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in removing obturating material from moderately to severely curved root canals. Thirty-six removed human molar teeth were split into two groups based on the canal curvature using the Schafer and Schneider method. Each group consisted of 18 teeth. Teeth in Group A had roots that were moderately curved (angles between 10 and 20 degrees), whereas teeth in Group B had roots that were severely curved (angles more than 20 degrees). Following decoronation, each root was ready for obturation using the appropriate rotary files, following the manufacturer’s recommendations. Using the CBCT image, the total surface area of the root canals in the axial cross-section and the volume analysis of the obturated area were calculated. H files were used to retreat half of each group, while Rotary (ProTaper) retreatment files were used for the other half, in accordance with their retreatment protocol. It was noted how long it took to reach the working length and remove all obturating items. Cone beam computed tomography and Auto CAD software are used to analyze the surface area and volume of any residual obturating material in the canal after it has been completely removed. An analysis of the data using the ANOVA test was conducted between four groups. When p < 0.05 was reached, it was deemed statistically significant. Rotary retreatment files were discovered to be the most efficient method for removing obturating material and to take the least amount of time to achieve working length. Compared to the Rotary retreatment file, the H file left greater residue in the root canal. Compared to moderately curved root canal groups, severely curved root canal groups have noticeably more residues. In all four groups, the apical part had more residues than the middle and coronal portions. The obturating substance in the root canal could not be entirely removed using any of the retreatment procedures. Furthermore, there was no advantage in terms of root-filling removal’s effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":197045,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Dental and Oral Health","volume":" 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140387565","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}

Separated instruments blocked access to the apical portion of the root, impeding adequate apical canal debridement and potentially compromising disinfection efficacy, thereby jeopardizing the long-term success of the endodontic therapy. Recent advancements in endodontic technology and methodology have facilitated the management of separated instruments (SIs), potentially enhancing treatment prognosis This article presents a case series of the management of SI using bypassing and braiding techniques. Separated instruments were lodged at various levels in the middle and apical third of the maxillary and mandibular incisor and canine teeth. Today, the majority of broken instruments can potentially be removed safely and effectively. However, instrument removal techniques lead to significant loss of tooth substances, which increases the risk of tooth fracture. The choice of the most appropriate technique for removing the fractured fragment depends on several parameters. The two techniques used in these clinical cases are conservative, simple and less invasive for instrument removal.","PeriodicalId":197045,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Dental and Oral Health","volume":"14 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140420735","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}

Materials and Methods: Three maxillary dentures, a mandibular denture, an overdenture supported by a single implant, and other supported by two implants were made for the following groups: MCD—Mandibular complete denture lined with silicone-based material, OSI—Overdenture lined with silicone-based material supported by single implant, and OTI— Overdenture lined with silicone-based material supported by two implants. The mandibular photoelastic model was axially loaded by the maxillary denture with intensities of 10, 20, or 30 kgf. Photoelastic analysis took place with the maxillary denture in maximum intercuspation with the mandibular prostheses. Results: Photoelastic analysis showed that the 10 kgf load promoted in the mandibular denture greater stress along the photoelastic model mainly in the anterior region. Stress occurred around the single implant with higher intensity at the apex. Stress occurred between the two implants and no stress was shown along the implants and apices. For 20 kgf, stress occurred in the anterior region of the mandible denture; Higher stress is shown around the single implant and apex and smaller at the mandible left side. Stress occurred between the two implants, and few stress at the apex of the left implant. For 30 kgf, stress occurred in the anterior region of the mandible with more intensity on the left side. Stress is shown around and at the implant apex and both mandible frontal sides. Stress is shown between the two implants and little stress at the apex of the left implant. Conclusions: The lined overdentures supported by single or two implants exhibited stress concentration in the implant region compared to lined mandibular denture showing stress along the mandible body. The stress in the overdentures occurred mainly around the single implant or between the two implants. The increase in load intensity had little influence on the increase in stress for the prostheses with lined bases. Clinical Relevance: Intercuspation in the overdenture must have the same importance given to the vertical relationship to relieve the chewing effort in overdenture lined with silicone-based material.","PeriodicalId":197045,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Dental and Oral Health","volume":"27 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135429902","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}

Thirty-nine participants with healthy 1st molar teeth on both sides of the mandible who came for root canal treatment of adjacent teeth were recruited for the trial. All participants received 2% lignocaine IANB on 1st visit and 4% articaine BI on 2nd visit and the appointment was given at least 1 week apart. Pulpal anaesthesia onset and duration were checked by an electric pulp tester. The result showed that 4% of articaine BI secured 53.8% successful pulpal anaesthesia in mandibular first molar teeth while 2% of lignocaine IANB did 61.5%, and this difference was not statistically significant. The onset time of pulpal anaesthesia showed no significant difference between these two methods. But, the duration of pulpal anaesthesia was significantly shorter in articaine BI than in lignocaine IANB. It can be concluded that 4% articaine BI is a safe and effective method for pulpal anaesthesia in mandibular first molar teeth. But it should be used considering its shorter duration.","PeriodicalId":197045,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Dental and Oral Health","volume":"123 14","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135541997","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}
