This study aimed to collect data on the awareness, attitude, and practice among Indian postgraduates and endodontists of using conventional syringe needle irrigation (SNI) during root canal treatment. Materials and Methods: The survey was performed between January 2019 and December 2021. A total of 1000 printed forms and 1500 electronic questionnaires were shared with postgraduate students and endodontists across India. After validation by three national and two international experts, the survey with 35 questions was formulated. The survey contained 2 demographic-based, 13 awareness-based, 10 attitude-based, and 10 practice-based questions. The Chi-square test was used to assess the data (P < 0.05). Results: A total of 888 (35.5%) completed survey questionnaires were received (589 electronic and 299 printed). The respondents of the survey comprised 37% of postgraduate students and 63% of endodontic practitioners. In 24 out of the 35 questions, there was a statistical difference between postgraduate students and endodontists (P < 0.05). Ninety-one percent of the respondents were aware of the various SNI systems, while 7% were not much familiar and 2% were not aware. Sixty-six percent of the respondents strongly disagreed that SNI alone is sufficient for entire root canal disinfection, while 21% agreed to it. Eighty-eight percent of the respondents strongly agreed and 7% agreed that it is mandatory to activate the irrigant using agitation devices even after SNI, while 5% disagreed. Fifty-nine percent of the respondents used 30-gauge single side-vented closed-ended needles for conventional SNI, while 29% used needles for administration of local anesthesia. Conclusion: The awareness among the postgraduates and endodontists on SNI is moderate and the attitude is positive.","PeriodicalId":21485,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Endodontic Journal","volume":"28 1","pages":"302 - 308"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86622698","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}

Many studies around the world focus on the knowledge of parents, guardian, and teachers regarding emergency management of tooth avulsion. It is important to educate children and young adults about appropriate dental treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the knowledge and attitude of young adults regarding the emergency management of tooth avulsion. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted. The target group of this study was young adults aged from 11- to 19-years old in Saudi Arabia who read either Arabic or English. A questionnaire about tooth avulsion, mouthguards, and how to handle an avulsed tooth was sent electronically by Survey Legend tool. Access was made available until the desired sample size was reached. Results: About 390 questionnaires were collected. Subjects who received advice in dental trauma or who had previous experience with dental trauma either by suffering from the injury (P = 0.003) or witnessing it (P = 0.005) were more confident in managing future dental emergencies. Participants who had a first aid training course had significantly more correct answers. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the importance of youth education toward emergency management of tooth avulsion using different educational methods such as regular first aid training program to all middle and high school students. School students' knowledge and attitude for managing dental trauma are inadequate, and different educational strategies for middle and high schools' students are recommended.","PeriodicalId":21485,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Endodontic Journal","volume":"134 1","pages":"277 - 282"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79831282","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}

Hence, the aim of the current research was to evaluate and compare the effect of 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and 7% maleic acid (MA) on the wettability of Sealer Plus BC and AH Plus sealers. Materials and Methods: Thirty single-rooted premolars were decoronated and longitudinally sectioned to form 60 samples. The samples were then arbitrarily separated into three groups (n = 20) determined by the irrigation protocol: Group I (2.5% sodium hypochlorite [NaOCl] + 17% EDTA), Group II (2.5% NaOCl + 7% MA), and Group III (2.5% NaOCl + distilled water). Each group was then split into two subgroups (n = 10) based on the sealer utilized: Subgroup A (Sealer Plus BC sealer) and Subgroup B (AH Plus sealer). The sealers were mixed and placed on the samples. Contact angles of the sealers were determined with a goniometer. The intragroup and intergroup comparison was conducted by Two way-ANOVA test with a significance level of P < 0.01. Results: The wettability of both sealers was favorably influenced by the final irrigant rinse with 7% MA and 17% EDTA, although there was no statistical difference between both sealers in the MA group (P > 0.01). AH Plus demonstrated a better wettability than Sealer Plus BC in the EDTA group (P < 0.001). Both Sealer Plus BC and AH Plus sealers demonstrated lower contact angles on final irrigation with 7% MA in comparison to 17% EDTA. Conclusion: As a final irrigant, 7% MA increased the wettability of both Sealer Plus BC and AH Plus sealers compared to 17% EDTA.","PeriodicalId":21485,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Endodontic Journal","volume":"16 1","pages":"297 - 301"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82993706","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}

This study investigated the prevalence of C-shaped root canals in mandibular second molars in the Kuwaiti population using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: CBCT images of sound mature mandibular second molars of 247 Kuwaiti patients were collected from government dental centers. An endodontist and radiologist examined the images to determine the presence of C-shaped canals. They were evaluated at four levels (canal orifice, coronal, middle, and apical thirds of root). Data were collected and statistically analyzed. Results: One hundred and forty-nine scans and 199 teeth belonging to 62 males and 87 females aged 16–56 years were included. C-shaped canals were found in 26 (13.07%) cases and were more common in females. Females were more likely to have bilateral C-shaped canals (P < 0.05). C2 was the most frequent morphology type at the orifice and coronal levels (53.9%) and apical levels (38.5%). An uninterrupted “C” shape was seen in 4 teeth (15.39%). A lingual longitudinal groove with the buccal notch (groove Type II) was seen in 14 teeth (53.85%). Conclusion: The prevalence of C-shaped canals in the mandibular second molars of a Kuwaiti population was higher than studies performed in the Middle-East population. The morphology type of C-shaped canal in mandibular second molars varied between the root levels. Radicular groove with buccal notches was most frequently located on the lingual side.","PeriodicalId":21485,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Endodontic Journal","volume":"24 1","pages":"283 - 288"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83674636","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}

Hence, this article aimed to review the studies performed on the root and root canal morphology of maxillary premolars in the Saudi population and to investigate sex differences and bilateral occurrence of the morphology of these teeth. Materials and Methods: A thorough search of MEDLINE/PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases was conducted. Nineteen studies concerning anatomical as well as case report studies were included and over 5120 permanent maxillary premolar teeth were evaluated in these studies. Results: Thirteen anatomic studies and six case reports included in this review examined root and/or root canal morphology of maxillary premolars in four provinces of Saudi Arabia. Various study methodologies have been implemented in these anatomic studies. The maxillary first premolars (MxFPs) showed two roots and two canals in an average of 63.2% and 92.2%, respectively. The majority of maxillary second premolars (MxSPs) had one root (84.4%) and two root canals (57.7%). Type IV canal configuration is the most frequent configuration in MxFP with an average of 64.4%, whereas Type I was seen in 47.1% of the MxSP. Conclusion: Both maxillary premolars showed anatomical diversity and this emphasizes the need for attention during endodontic management. In general, there are sparse studies on the Saudi population discussing the study's objectives and further studies are required for evaluating root and root canal morphology of maxillary premolars.","PeriodicalId":21485,"journal":{"name":"Saudi Endodontic Journal","volume":"22 1","pages":"227 - 235"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91174718","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}
