... Preoperative radiograph was taken using paralleling technique • Thereafter, under rubber dam isolation, access cavity was prepared with the help of a high-speed round and straight fissure diamond burs (diameter 014, Endo ZR bur; Dentsply) following the application of local anesthesia (Dentocaine, 2% lignocaine hydrochloride with 1:200000 adrenaline; Pharma health care product) [ Figure 1]. Working length was established with the use of size 30 Hedstrom file, keeping it one mm short of radiographic apex • Necrotic pulp was extirpated using large sized K/H files (Dentsply Maillefer; China), and complete debridement of the canal was done followed by copious irrigation with normal saline (0.9% w/v; Parenteral drugs Ltd; India) • Minimal canal preparation was carried out so as to avoid damage to the thin dentinal walls • Biomechanical preparation was carried out with light lateral pressure against the walls of the canal with an appropriate size of K/H file taking care of apical area during instrumentation, ensuring the instrument was kept within working length ...

: Calcium hydroxide with or without iodoform is commonly used for apexification in immature permanent teeth. Before permanent restoration, temporary restorative material is used for ensuring coronal seal at the tooth orifice. An ideal coronal sealing agent prevents micro-leakage and maintains aseptic root canal environment. : This study aims at ass...

Aim: To compare the bacterial leakage of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and biodentine when used as an apical plug in immature permanent teeth. Materials and methods: It was a randomized double-blind in vitro study. A total of 60 teeth were divided into 2 groups of MTA and biodentine, which were further divided into 2 subgroups (n = 30) each b...
