Abstract
Background/purpose Root canal filling is a necessary skill for dental students and an important aspect of endodontic education. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of students' clinical experiences on isthmus filling using different techniques and sealers. Materials and methods One hundred eight three-dimensional-printed resin replicas of isthmus were divided into six groups and either continuous wave of condensation (CWC) or single-cone obturation (SC) was performed. One of three sealers (AH Plus Jet®, GuttaFlow2, iRoot SP) was used together with a size-fitted gutta-percha master cone. All the obturations were completed by students with three different levels of clinical experience including senior postgraduate students (SPS), junior postgraduate students (JPS), and undergraduate students (US). The percentages of filled areas (PFA) at 2, 4, 6, and 8 mm from the apex were analyzed using a light microscope. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test or Kruskal-Wallis 1-way ANOVA with Dunn's tests (α = 0.05). Results The CWC group exhibited a higher PFA than the SC group (P < 0.05). The PFA was higher in the SPS group than in the JPS group or the US group with CWC (P < 0.05). The three clinical experience groups showed similar PFAs with SC (P > 0.05); however, when using SC with iRoot SP, the PFA was higher than with either of the other two sealers (P < 0.05). Conclusion CWC was found to be technique-sensitive and required clinical training. With SC, clinical experience did not improve the quality of isthmus filling without additional training. CWC was superior to SC for type IV isthmuses. When using SC, better filling quality was obtained with a bioceramic sealer.

The effect of root canal treatment and post-crown restorations on stress distribution in teeth with periapical periodontitis: a finite element analysis. BMC Oral Health 2023; 23:973. [PMID: 38057755 PMCID: PMC10701996 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-023-03612-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 12/08/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM To evaluate the effects of root canal treatment (RCT) and post-crown restoration on stress distribution in teeth with periapical bone defects using finite element analysis. METHODOLOGY Finite element models of mandibular second premolars and those with periapical bone defects (spherical defects with diameters of 5, 10, 15, and 20 mm) were created using digital model design software. The corresponding RCT and post-crown restoration models were constructed based on the different sizes of periapical bone defect models. The von Mises stress and tooth displacement distributions were comprehensively analyzed in each model. RESULTS Overall analysis of the models: RCT significantly increased the maximum von Mises stresses in teeth with periapical bone defects, while post-crown restoration greatly reduced the maximum von Mises stresses. RCT and post-crown restoration slightly reduced tooth displacement in the affected tooth. Internal analysis of tooth: RCT dramatically increased the maximum von Mises stress in all regions of the tooth, with the most pronounced increase in the coronal surface region. The post-crown restoration balances the internal stresses of the tooth and is most effective in periapical bone defect - 20-mm model. RCT and post-crown restoration slightly reduced the tooth displacement in all regions of the affected tooth. CONCLUSIONS Root canal treatment seemed not to improve the biomechanical state of teeth with periapical bone defects. In contrast, post-crown restoration might effectively balance the stress concentrations caused by periapical bone defects, particularly extensive ones.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine the incidence of dentinal microcracks after instrumenting the root canals of maxillary premolars using two novel rotary instrumentation systems. Micro-computed tomography (microCT) scans and images generated by sectioning and observation with a stereomicroscope were used to assess the specimens. Twenty-two freshly extracted maxillary premolars were collected and the specimens were divided into two groups of eleven. The tested radicular shaping systems were XP-Endo shaper and TRUShape (i.e., single file). The specimens were scanned with microCT pre- and post-instrumentation, and the newly formed microcracks were detected. The post-instrumentation scans were also compared with images obtained by sectioning method and stereomicroscope inspection, comparing the incidence of microcracks in either microCT scans or images. The results identified an overall incidence of 0.49% of newly formed microcracks, with no statistically significant differences (p = 0.689) between the shaping systems (0.11% for TRUShape and 0.87% for XP-Endo shaper). There were statistically significant differences (p < 0.001) between the microcracks incidence in microCT scans and the sectioning method (16.6% more for the latter). In conclusion, the results show that neither TRUShape nor XP-Endo shaper created dentinal microcracks during root canal instrumentation. The sectioning method with stereomicroscope evaluation overestimates the presence of microcracks with a statistically significant difference compared to microCT scans.

Abstract
Background/purpose Effective filling of the lateral canals is of great significance in successful root canal treatment, but it is generally being challenging. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of relative positions of the heat carrier and lateral canal opening on gutta-percha obturation of lateral canals in a three-dimensional (3D)-printed model. Materials and methods Thermal conductivity and real-time temperature transmission of gutta-percha were investigated using laser flash and thermal infrared analyses. 3D-printed root canal models with lateral canals at 1, 3, and 5 mm from the apex were fabricated, and different relative positions of the heat carrier were tested. The obturation process was recorded on video, and the obturation depth of the lateral canals was observed using X-ray micro-computed tomography. Results Gutta-percha showed low thermal conductivity of 1.07 W/(m·K), and heating increased the temperature of gutta-percha above 60 °C only within 1 mm beyond the heat carrier tip. For lateral canals at 1 and 3 mm from the apex, gutta-percha penetrated further with deeper penetration of the heat carrier (P < 0.05). For 5-mm lateral canals, the heat carrier was always at apical level and the gutta-percha obturation depth was more at 2 mm apically than at 3 or 4 mm (P < 0.05). Conclusion Gutta-percha is a poor thermal conductor. The position of the heat carrier in relation to the lateral canal opening affects obturation depth. Only when the heat carrier reaches or passes the lateral canal opening can gutta-percha penetrate a lateral canal.

Int Endod J 2022; 55 Suppl 2:471-494. [PMID: 35263455 PMCID: PMC9314814 DOI: 10.1111/iej.13722] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2021] [Accepted: 03/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
The prognosis of root‐filled teeth depends not only on a successful root canal treatment but also on the restorative prognosis. This critical review discusses the advantages and limitations of various methodologies used to assess the load capacity or clinical survivability of root‐filled teeth and restorations. These methods include static loading, cyclic loading, finite element analysis and randomized clinical trials. In vitro research is valuable for preclinical screening of new dental materials or restorative modalities. It also can assist investigators or industry to decide whether further clinical trials are justified. It is important that these models present high precision and accuracy, be reproducible, and present adequate outcomes. Although in vitro models can reduce confounding by controlling important variables, the lack of clinical validation (accuracy) is a downside that has not been properly addressed. Most importantly, many in vitro studies did not explore the mechanisms of failure and their results are limited to rank different materials or treatment modalities according to the maximum load capacity. An extensive number of randomized clinical trials have also been published in the last years. These trials have provided valuable insight on the survivability of the root‐filled tooth answering numerous clinical questions. However, trials can also be affected by the selected outcome and by intrinsic and extrinsic biases. For example, selection bias, loss to follow‐up and confounding. In the clinical scenario, hypothesis‐based studies are preferred over observational and retrospective studies. It is recommended that hypothesis‐based studies minimize error and bias during the design phase.

Abstract
Abstract
Vertical condensation of gutta-percha is one of the frequently used techniques of hermetic and three-dimensional obturation of root canal system which is one of the primary goals of endodontic tooth treatment. Techniques for filling root canals have been described since ancient Egypt and have undergone dynamic development in recent decades. The aim of the article is to analyze the technique of obturation of root canals using vertical condensation of guttapercha and to point out its benefits and pitfalls.
The poor-quality treatment of the tooth deteriorates its prognosis, function, and long-term survival in the oral cavity; thus, the hermetic obturation of the root canals is one of the most important pillars of the complex tooth treatment. Obturation of the root canals by vertical condensation of warm gutta-percha is nowadays considered in the correct indications as one of the most commonly used techniques in the excellent dental practices. Even though it is quite technologically challenging and time-consuming it enables to reach high level of predictability and clinical success. Currently, the obturation technique based on master gutta-percha cone combined with the calcium-silicate based sealer is emerging. However, long term results of clinical studies and follow-up are needed to make a significant improvement in the area of endodontics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop a new method to test the fracture strength of endodontically-treated root dentin. METHOD Bovine tooth roots were transversely cut into 2-mm thick sections and the root canals were enlarged with a taper of 0.06. An outer layer of resin composite was bonded to each section to make the root canal-to-outer radius ratio smaller than 1/3. The resulting discs were treated with irrigants at the inner surface and then fractured by inserting through the center a steel rod of the same taper attached to a universal test system. Fracture strength was calculated by using Lame's equations for thick-walled cylinders. Micro-indentation was performed to evaluate the depth of dentin affected by irrigation. Finite element analysis (FEA) was performed to verify the reasonableness of using resin composite to surround the dentin section as well as the analytical solution. RESULTS The fracture strength of endodontically-treated root dentin based on the analytical solution for a homogeneous section was 139.69 ± 32.59 MPa. However, FEA that took into account root canal softening caused by the irrigants showed that this was overestimated by about 33.5%. The corrected fracture strength of treated dentin was 114.58 ± 26.74 MPa. By incorporating the layer of affected dentin into the analytical solution, the difference in the fracture-causing stress between the analytical and numerical solutions dropped to around 9.5%. SIGNIFICANCE A relatively simple but clinically relevant method has been developed for measuring the fracture strength of endodontically-treated root dentin. The method could be applied to root dentin that is treated by conventional canal opening and irrigation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to assess 2 cone-beam computed tomographic systems on the detection of artificially induced vertical root fractures (VRFs) and artifact intensity using birooted teeth restored with different intracanal materials. METHODS The sample consisted of 20 extracted birooted premolars. Root fracture was induced in half of the sample. Seven intracanal material combinations were used in each tooth, 1 at a time: unrestored, gutta-percha, a buccal root with gutta-percha and a lingual root with a fiberglass post, a buccal root with gutta-percha and a lingual root with a metal core fiberglass post, fiberglass posts, metal core fiberglass posts, and NiCr posts. Cone-beam computed tomographic scans were acquired using CS 9000 3D (Carestream Dental Rochester, NY) and OP300 (Instrumentarium Dental Inc, Tuusula, Finland) units. Exposure parameters were fixed at 90 kV and 8 mA. The voxel size and field of view were set at 0.085 mm and 5 × 5 cm for OP300 and 0.076 mm and 5 × 3.75 cm for CS 9000, respectively. Two observers assessed all images using a 5-point confidence scale for VRF detection and a 4-point score for artifact interference. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve were compared using 2-way analysis of variance and the Tukey test (α = 0.05). Artifact interference was evaluated by descriptive statistics and the chi-square test. RESULTS There were significant differences between scanners (P > .05) and among the different intracanal material groups (OP300) (P < .05) for specificity. When a metal post was present in both roots, severe artifact interference was observed in all images. CONCLUSIONS CS 9000 3D presented better performance than OP300 on VRF detection of endodontically treated teeth. Unrestored teeth and teeth filled with fiberglass posts were considered the groups with the lowest artifact interference and the highest VRF detection results.

Abstract
Background The loss of dentition after root canal treatment is a multifactorial entity which might differ between different teeth. The extraction can be more critical, as well as the rehabilitation options. Aim To analyze if the etiology of extracting root canal treated teeth is different between premolars and molars. Materials and methods The study included a total of 403 cases with non-surgical root canal therapy (NSRCT) and crown coverage that was referred to the oral surgery clinic for extraction. Tooth type, patient’s age, gender, time since treatment completion, and the reason for extractions were recorded and analyzed. Results The most frequently extracted teeth were molars (55.6%), followed by premolars (30.3%) and anterior teeth (14.1%). The reasons for extraction were subgingival decay (SGD) (62.5%), vertical root fractures (VRF) (25.3%), and patient demands after uncomfortableabscess discharge (12.2%). Most of the teeth survived between 13 and 36 months after NSRCT. The statistical power of 0.92 was demonstrated, and a P-value of less than 0.05 presented significant correlations. Conclusion Molars were extractedafter NSRCT due to SGD followed by premolars, which were extracted due to VRF. Special care should be taken while planning NSRCT treatment for molars, in particular, with emphasis on the importance of oral hygiene and follow-up visits.
