  • A systematic review of nonsurgical single-visit versus multiple-visit Endodontic Treatment.
    Clinical cosmetic and investigational dentistry, 2014
    Co-Authors: Amy Wong, Chengfei Zhang, Chun Hung Chu
    Abstract:

    Conventional Endodontic Treatment used to require multiple visits, but some clinicians have suggested that single-visit Treatment is superior. Single-visit Endodontic Treatment and multiple-visit Endodontic Treatment both have their advantages and disadvantages. This paper is a literature review of the research on nonsurgical single-visit versus multiple-visit Endodontic Treatment. The PubMed database was searched using the keywords (Endodontic Treatment OR Endodontic therapy OR root canal Treatment OR root canal therapy) AND (single-visit OR one-visit OR 1-visit). Review papers, case reports, data studies, and irrelevant reports were excluded, and 47 papers on clinical trials were reviewed. The studies generally had small sample sizes, and the Endodontic procedures varied among the studies. Meta-analysis on the selected studies was performed, and the results showed that the postoperative complications of the single-visit and multiple-visit Endodontic Treatment were similar. Furthermore, neither single-visit Endodontic Treatment nor multiple-visit Treatment had superior results over the other in terms of healing or success rate. Results of limited studies on disinfection of the root canals using low-energy laser photodynamic therapy is inconclusive, and further studies are necessary to show whether laser should be used in Endodontic Treatment. This review also found that that neither single-visit Endodontic Treatment nor multiple-visit Treatment could guarantee the absence of postoperative pain. Since the study design of many studies displayed significant limitation and the materials and equipment used in Endodontic Treatment have dramatically changed in recent years, prospective randomized clinical trials are needed to further verify the postoperative pain and success rates of single-visit versus multiple-visit Endodontic Treatment.

  • outcome of surgical Endodontic Treatment performed by a modern technique a meta analysis of literature
    Journal of Endodontics, 2009
    Co-Authors: Igor Tsesis, Vadim Faivishevsky, Anda Kfir, Eyal Rosen
    Abstract:

    Abstract Introduction Numerous studies dealing with the outcome of surgical Endodontic Treatment have been published. However, study design, Treatment protocols, follow-up periods, and inclusion and exclusion criteria are extremely variable. Thus, variable and confusing results have been reported. The aim of the present study was to assess the outcome of surgical Endodontic Treatment performed with a modern technique and to evaluate factors influencing the outcome by means of a meta-analysis. Methods An exhaustive literature search combined with strict inclusion and exclusion criteria was undertaken to identify prospective case series or randomized clinical trials that deal with surgical Endodontic Treatment. Results A successful outcome in a follow-up of more than 1 year postoperatively was 91.6%. Age, gender, tooth type, root-end filling material, and magnification type had no significant effect on the proportion of success. Conclusions Surgical Endodontic Treatment done by using a modern technique is a predictable Treatment. Additional large-scale prospective clinical studies are needed to evaluate possible predictors of success and failure.

  • retrospective evaluation of surgical Endodontic Treatment traditional versus modern technique
    Journal of Endodontics, 2006
    Co-Authors: Igor Tsesis, Eyal Rosen, Devorah Schwartzarad, Zvi Fuss
    Abstract:

    The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the outcome of surgical Endodontic Treatment preformed using the traditional versus modern techniques. There were 110 patients who were treated by surgical Endodontic Treatment between 2000 and 2002 and evaluated from their dental charts. The surgical Endodontic Treatment was preformed using a traditional or modern technique. The traditional technique included root-end resection with a 45 degrees bevel angle, and retrograde preparation using a carbide round bur. The modern technique included root-end resection with minimal or no bevel, and retrograde preparation using ultrasonic retro-tips with the aid of a dental operating microscope. The retrograde filling material for both techniques was intermediate restorative material. There were 71 patients with 88 treated teeth that were compatible with the inclusion criteria. Complete healing rate for the teeth treated with the modern technique (91.1%) was significantly higher than that for teeth treated using the traditional technique (44.2%) (p < 0.0001). In the traditional technique a significant (p = 0.032) negative influence of the tooth type was found. Modern surgical Endodontic Treatment using operative microscope and ultrasonic tips significantly improves the outcome of the therapy compared to the traditional technique.

  • Endodontic Treatment associated with photodynamic therapy case report
    Photodiagnosis and Photodynamic Therapy, 2016
    Co-Authors: Ramon Targino Firmino, Lorenna Mendes Temoteo Brandt, Gustavo Leite Ribeiro, Katia Simone Alves Dos Santos, Maria Helena Chaves De Vasconccelos Catao, Daliana Queiroga De Castro Gomes
    Abstract:

    Abstract Background data The complete elimination of bacteria inside the root canal is a difficult task, and inconsistent removal of the innermost layer of contaminated dentin leaves bacteria behind. PDT is an adjunct to conventional Endodontic Treatment due to its potential to reduce bacteria and its biocompatibility. Objective Report a case of Endodontic Treatment associated with Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). Study Design/Patient and methods A patient with chronic dentoalveolar abscess with radiolucent lesion next to the apexes of teeth 11 and 21 was submitted to conventional Endodontic Treatment associated with PDT. The canals were filled after two PDT sessions with an interval of 15 days between applications. Results After six months, total regression of apical periodontitis and no fistula or associated symptoms were observed. Conclusions The Treatment proposed is a viable option for the clinician as it is easy to perform, has relatively low-cost and allows the improvement of symptoms in a short period of time.
