Calcium Hydroxide in Endodontics: A literature Review

CALCIUM HYDROXIDE AS INTRACANAL MEDICAMENT:- 

A medicament is an antimicrobial agent that is placed inside the root canal between treatment appointments in an attempt to destroy remaining microorganisms and prevent reinfection (Weine 2004). Thus, they may be utilized to kill bacteria, reduce inflammation (and thereby reduce pain), help eliminate apical exudate, control inflammatory root resorption and prevent contamination between appointments. When intracanal medicaments were not used between appointments, bacterial numbers increased rapidly (Bystrom & Sundqvist 1981).

Geriatric Endodontics : A Seminar

Introduction :

Endodontic considerations in the elderly patient are similar in many ways to those in the younger patients with some differences. This seminar discusses the similarities as well as the differences. Most of the elderly wil accept extraction only when there are no alternatives. Their expectations for dental health parallels their demand for quality medical care. A large chunk of our population consists of the old or the aged  and it is seen that there is a substantial increase in the longevity of their dentition, this is because of the increased awareness towards dental health and advanced restorative procedures. Treatment of geriatric patients require special care as the treatment procedure is more complex. Thus geriatric dentistry as a new speciality is slowly sprouting out. Endodontic considerations in the elderly age are not without challenges. These include biological, medical, and psychological differences from the younger patients as well as treatment complications. These considerations are further discussed in this seminar.

Onlays : A Seminar

INTRODUCTION

Taggart permanently changed the practice of restorative dentistry by introducing his technique for cast gold dental restorations, such that, today, cast dental restorations and appliances have become basic treatment modalities in dentistry.

            The Class II onlay involves the proximal surfaces of a posterior tooth, and caps all of the cusps.

The procedure requires two appointments: the first for preparing the tooth and making an impression, and the second for delivering the restoration to the patient. The fabrication process is referred to as an indirect procedure because the casting is made on a replica of the prepared tooth in a dental laboratory.

Amalgam Pins In Dentistry : A Seminar

Pins In Dentistry : A Detailed Seminar

INTRODUCTION:

In 1897, Arthur described the use of anchor screws in the dentin to retain restorations. The pin-amalgam restoration became widely accepted after Markley popularized it in 1958. Large numbers of teeth have since been restored by skillful dentists who continue to praise the virtues of the pin-retained amalgam. However, there are others who point out that potential dangers lurk in this procedure such as pulp exposure, painful pulpitis, split roots, and cracked amalgam.In past, when severely damaged teeth lacked structure to adequately retain a restoration, the options were frequently limited to extraction. Use of pins in dentistry offered an alternative that is often more practical, less costly and more conservative. Before the development of organized pin instrumentations dentists forced dental bur heads into holes burred into dentin. A portion of the bur remained protruding from the hole to be grasped by an  amalgam. Pin foundations are used in extensive restorative problems such as in missing cusps and surfaces or for cores. The pin reinforces the properties of retention and resistances in the restoration.

Seminar on Pulpal Diseases

Pulpal Diseases : A Seminar

INTRODUCTION

‘‘The pulp lives for the dentin and the dentin lives by the grace of the pulp. Few  marriages in nature are marked by a greater affinity.’’ Alfred L. Ogilvie

The pulp is a formative organ of tooth, secondary dentin after tooth eruption and reparative dentine in response to stimulation as long as an organ with little resistance. Its resistance depends on cellular activity, nutritional supply, age and other metabolic and physiologic parameters. The poor resistance of the pulp may be due to high plasminogen activity which rapidly breaks down the fibrin following injury. So every attempt should be made to maintain vitality of pulp and protect it from injury.

INTRODUCTION:

•      Intentional replantation involves the purposeful removal of a tooth and its reinsertation into the socket after proper endodontic manipulation and repair. Intentional replantation is a treatment option when more conventional forms of treatment either fail or are impossible. Generally it is thought that it may be considered as a viable mode of treatment in certain situations to preserve the natural dentition.

Root Canal Sealers - A Seminar

INTRODUCTION

The Washington study of endodontic success and failure suggests percolation of periradicular exudates into the incompletely filled canal as the greatest cause of endodontic failure.

 So for success of the endodontic treatment proper obturation of the root canal space is very essential. And to fulfill this requirement obturating materials are so important. Among the various root canal obturating materials the root canal sealers are very important as they provide the hermetic seal required for the success of the endodontic treatment.
