Can One Composite Shade Deliver the Same Clinical Results?

With single-shade composites promising a simpler approach through the “chameleon effect,” the question is whether this convenience can hold up beyond the immediate aesthetic result. A 36-month randomized clinical trial compared single- and multi-shade composite restorations in NCCLs to see how the two approaches performed over time.

Does Foraminal Enlargement Increase Postoperative Pain After Root Canal Treatment?

Foraminal enlargement aims to improve cleaning at the apical end of the root canal, but could the technique increase discomfort after treatment? A new systematic review examines clinical trial evidence and raises questions about how dentists weigh apical disinfection against postoperative symptoms.

Cracked Tooth Syndrome: Diagnostic Dilemmas And Clinical Management

• Cracked Tooth Syndrome is often not a problem of treatment first—it is a problem of diagnosis first. The patient may know exactly when the tooth hurts, yet the clinician may struggle to identify which tooth is responsible. • A normal periapical radiograph does not rule out a cracked tooth. Many cracks are too narrow, too favorably oriented, or confined to the crown to be visualized radiographically. • The classic clinical clue is often pain on biting or, particularly, on release of biting pressure. However, symptoms may vary considerably according to crack direction, pulpal status, occlusion, and the extent of structural involvement.

Can Bulk-Fill Replace Incremental Composite Placement?

For years, incremental layering has been the default approach for posterior composites—but is every extra increment actually buying us better longevity? As bulk-fill materials promise deeper curing and faster placement, a systematic review of clinical trials asks whether the traditional layering routine still offers an advantage.

Sodium Hypochlorite - Powerhouse Of Root Canal Treatment

Sodium hypochlorite is not simply an irrigant—it is an active chemical instrument of endodontic therapy. Its success depends on concentration, volume, replenishment, contact time, activation, and safe delivery. Used correctly, it complements mechanical instrumentation and helps achieve the level of chemical debridement that instruments alone cannot provide.

Why Root Canal Treatments Fail?

Most endodontic failures are better understood as a failure of infection control than a failure of a particular material. A missed canal can be clinically silent yet biologically decisive. An apparently well-filled canal can still harbor infection in fins, isthmuses, ramifications, apical anatomy or untreated canals. Coronal restoration is part of endodontic treatment—not an optional final step.

Is Root Canal Treatment Better Than Extraction?

When a tooth is restorable and has a reasonable long-term prognosis, root canal treatment can often provide a significant advantage over extraction because it allows the patient to retain their natural tooth. But this does not mean that every tooth should undergo root canal treatment. A severely fractured, non-restorable, periodontally hopeless, or structurally compromised tooth may be better treated by extraction.

Root Canal Treatment In Traumatic Teeth: Management Of Fractures And Avulsion

Avulsion is an especially time-sensitive emergency. Replantation of a permanent tooth should be performed as soon as possible because the condition of the periodontal ligament is a major determinant of prognosis. In mature avulsed teeth, endodontic treatment is generally required because revascularization of the necrotic pulp is unlikely. In immature teeth, preservation of the possibility of pulp revascularization and continued root development becomes an important consideration.
