A revascularization procedure was shown to be the best alternative therapy for immature teeth with necrotic pulp and apical infection. A 12 year old female with a history of trauma to her upper central incisor and a sinus tract was referred for...
Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the root and root canal morphology of permanent maxillary first molars in a Saudi subpopulation and the effect of age and gender on the morphology of these teeth using cone‑beam computed...
Objectives: To determine the health status of periradicular tissue and the quality of root canal fillings in an adult Saudi population attending dental clinics for the first time. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in the dental...
Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the regulations and clinical requirements of the endodontic board certifications and master’s degrees in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and United States of America (USA). Materials and...
Objectives This in vitro study aimed to investigate the ability of Candida albicans (C. albicans) and Enterococcus faecalis(E. faecalis) to penetrate dentinal tubules of instrumented and retreated root canal surface of split human teeth. Materials...
This investigation studied the complication that could arise from delayed management of traumatized permanent teeth. Patients reported to the primary care clinic at the College of Dentistry, King Saud University, seeking treatment of traumatized...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate in vitro the antibacterial effect of calcium hydroxide points by using a broth dilution test. Extracts of calcium hydroxide points and a calcium hydroxide paste (Calasept) were tested by using 2 facultative...
A clinical case report is presented which illustrates internal root resorption of a traumatized tooth. Light and scanning electron microscope were used to further examine the defect. An explanation of the morphological structure of the resorption is...
The purpose of this investigation was to study, in vitro, the antifungal effect of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) using a tube-dilution test. MTA was tested freshly mixed and after 24 h set on Candida albicans. The tested MTA was incubated with C...
  Root end preparation was performed in the apical third of 20 endodontically treated extracted human teeth using high speed, low speed, straight surgical low speed handpieces and ultrasonic machine. The surface properties of the cut root surface...
Purpose. The purpose of this investigation was to study in-vitro the attachment behavior of human periodontal ligament (HPDL) fibroblasts to nondemineralized dentin surface using scanning electron microscope. Study design. Thirty root slices of...
New endodontic materials with polymer bases may be more difficult to evaluate in cell cultures in vitro than conventional zinc oxide-eugenol cements. In order to study the morphological changes taking place in cells exposed to such materials, L929...
A b s t r a c t An immature maxillary first premolar in an 8-year-old female was treated using a regenerative approach. The root canal was gently irrigated with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite without instrumentation under aseptic conditions and then...
A case report of a maxillary second premolar with three canals is presented. The tooth had three roots, mesiobuccal, distobuccal and palatal, each containing a canal. Root canal therapy was performed under aseptic conditions.
Objective. The attachment behavior of the human periodontal ligament (PDL) fibroblasts to root-end filling materials (amalgam and Super-EBA) was compared in vitro to gutta-percha by means of scanning electron microscope. Study design. Amalgam and...
