This device involves modern technologies as 3D printing and computed tomography, which increase the accuracy of dental work. Guided endodontics has currently been emphasized because it facilitates more complex endodontic treatments, such as partial or total obliteration of the root canals precluding the conventional endodontic treatment. This method has demonstrated high percentages of safety for both patient and dentist. It is a fast endodontic access system that prevents perforations, unnecessary removal of dentin and tooth structure. This treatment method is more effective than conventional methods for locating calcified root canals due to its accuracy, speed of time and precision of direction. \u0000Objective: To review the current literature on Endoguide in calcified root canals, analyze its practice, advantages, disadvantages, indications and limitations. \u0000Material and Methods: The study was conducted on 20 papers in Portuguese and English from the year 2016 to April 2022, and a classic article from year 1995, searched in the databases PubMed, Google Scholar and Bireme. The following keywords were used: Calcified canal, Guided endodontics, Endodontic access, Endoguide. \u0000Results: This technique showed greater predictability in calcified canals, reducing the risk of perforations and allowing faster and more efficient access, with many advantages, except for its high cost. \u0000Conclusion: Based on this literature review, it can be suggested that the Endoguide technique in calcified canals provides great benefits to both dentist and patient, such as reduction of clinical time, agility and confidence in treatment, reduced risk of accidents and complications such as perforations and unnecessary dentin removal.","PeriodicalId":76664,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the American College of Dentists","volume":"30 5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78896481","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}

Literature search was done on October 2019 without limitations on the language of publication, in four databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and EBSCO. Additional manual search was done for the grey literature articles: OpenGrey and OpenThesis. Studies that evaluated the dentin bond strength of universal adhesives with 10-MDP using total-etch and self-etch strategy from the year 2000 up till October 2019 were included. The initial search resulted in 5121 references: 2234 from PubMed, 1814 from Scopus, 516 from Web of Science, 553 from EBSCO and 4 from OpenThesis. After full text analysis, 30 references were included in this systematic review. Seven different universal adhesives with 10-MDP were evaluated for dentin microtensile bond strength comparing total-etch and self-etch strategies: Single Bond Universal/Scotchbond Universal (3M ESPE), All Bond Universal (Bisco), Clearfil Universal Bond (Kuraray), G-Premio Bond (GC Corp), Tetric Bond Universal (Ivoclar Vivadent), Ambar Universal (FGM) and One Coat 7 Universal (Coltene). The total-etch strategy improved the dentine microtensile bond strength compared to self-etch strategy for all universal adhesives when stored in all three conditions: 24h, thermocycling and long-term immersion according to ISO (TS 11405:2015(E)). The evidence suggests that microtensile bond strength of universal adhesives containing 10-MDP may be improved utilizing total-etch strategy compared to self-etch strategy. This study provides valuable information on the importance of appropriate dentin adhesives strategy that affect success rate of restorations, which helps clinicians to make informed decisions on the strategy to be used during restorations in practice.","PeriodicalId":76664,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the American College of Dentists","volume":"77 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83911662","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 anodic current density of the noble alloy (Au-24.9Pd-19.0Ag-5.5In) decreased as the pH decreased. The noble (Pd-37.7Ag-8.5Sn) and base metal (Ni-25Cr-11.5Mo-1.4Si) alloys exhibited lower corrosion resistance with a relatively high current density at pH 3.

After the bonding and cementation procedures specimens were tested with a chewing machine with a stainless-steel ball on flat sliding contact (20N loads, 50.000 cycles). Wear analysis and comparison of the enamel or dentin substrates and the three restorative materials was performed using a 3D profilometer and analyzed with ANOVA test and post-hoc comparison procedures. Finally worn surfaces were examined with optical microscopy. \u0000Results: Statistical analysis after simulated chewing cycles identified a significant influence of the factor “substrate” (p<0.05) and of the factor “restorative material” (p<0.05). The enamel results in being more wear resistant than dentin, and also more resistant than all the restorative materials tested. Considering the materials, the most severe wear loss was observed with micro-hybrid composite paste. CAD-CAM materials showed a wear rate significantly better both in association with enamel and dentin. An interesting wear pattern was found at the bonded interface level and the oval shapes obtained from the profilometer images underlined a repetitive wear pattern with the central zone more consumed and decreasing depth moving towards the perimeter. Initials signs of cracks were showed in enamel interfaces at the optical microscopy analysis. \u0000Conclusions: Both the dental substrate and the restorative material significantly affect the wear behavior of a toothmaterial interface after cyclic fatigue.
