  • Proroot® MTA (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate) Root Canal Repair Material
    ® ProRoot MTA EN (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate) Root canal repair material RX ONLY DENTAL USE ONLY DIRECTIONS FOR USE PROROOT® MTA 1) INDICATIONS FOR USE ProRoot® MTA root repair material is indicated for use as: • A root-end filling material; • For the repair of root canals as an apical plug during apexification; • For repair of root perforations during root canal therapy; • As a consequence of internal resorption; • As a pulp capping material; • Pulpotomy of primary teeth in the child (ages >2-12 years) and adolescent (ages >12-21 years) pediatric patient populations. 2) CONTRAINDICATIONS None known. 3) WARNINGS ProRoot® MTA root repair material is a powder consisting of fine, hydrophilic particles that set in the presence of moisture. Hydration of the powder creates a colloidal gel that solidifies to form a strong impermeable barrier that fully cures over a four-week period. 4) PRECAUTIONS • ProRoot® MTA root repair material must be stored in a dry area to avoid degradation by moisture. • ProRoot® MTA root repair material must be kept in its sealed packaging prior to use to avoid degradation by moisture. • ProRoot® MTA root repair material must be placed intra-orally immediately after mixing with liquid, to prevent dehydration during setting. B EN PROR DFU MAS / Rev.05 / 05-2017 (Old ZF 190279.EN) 1/6 • When using ProRoot® MTA in an aesthetic zone, the clinician should consider the procedure being performed, the surface area exposed and the other restorative materials being used to achieve best results. • Avoid skin contact to prevent irritation and possible allergic response. If contact with skin occurs, immediately remove material with cotton and wash thoroughly with water and soap.

    Endodontic Topics 2005, 11, 152–178 Copyright r Blackwell Munksgaard All rights reserved ENDODONTIC TOPICS 2005 1601-1538 Surgical repair of root and tooth perforations JOHN D. REGAN, DAVID E. WITHERSPOON & DEBORAH M. FOYLE A root perforation is a mechanical or pathological communication formed between the supporting periodontal apparatus of the tooth and the root canal system. Three broad categories of etiological factors exist and these are procedural mishaps, resorption and caries. The diagnosis, management and repair of root perforations require skill and creative thinking. Unfortunately, much of what has been written on the subject of root perforation repair is unsubstantiated and empirical in nature and contributes little to evidence-based support for any specific repair procedure. However, perforation repair frequently provides a very attractive and frequently successful alternative to extraction of the involved tooth. In recent years, the procedure has become more predictable owing to the development of new materials, techniques and procedures. Introduction many perforations has been facilitated by the use of improved magnification and illumination provided by A root perforation is a mechanical or pathological the use of loupes or the surgical operating microscope communication formed between the supporting per- (SOM) (9, 10, 15–28).

  • Teacher Notes for Dental Dam Demonstration
    Teacher Notes for Dental Dam Demonstration 1. For this demonstration you will need an unopened condom. Consider using a flavoured condom if available, as these help emphasize the importance of using condoms to prevent STI transmission during oral sex. 2. You will be using your hand to simulate a vulva and vagina or anus. To see a video demonstration of the correct procedure, go to https://teachingsexualhealth.ca/teachers/resource/latex-barrier-demonstration/ 3. Explain that this is a demonstration of how to make and use a dental dam. A dental dam is a piece of material that lowers the risk of STI during oral sex on a vulva or anus by providing a barrier between one partner’s vulva or anus and the other partner’s mouth. You will be demonstrating how to make a dental dam out of a condom. 4. Explain that there are 2 important things to consider when choosing a condom Check the expiration date on the package. Condoms break down over time. If the expiration date has passed do not use the condom as it could break. Check that the package does not have any holes and that it looks like it’s in good condition. To do this, squeeze the package and feel for a pocket of air, like a bag of chips. That shows there are no holes in the package. Now is also a good time to remind students that condoms need careful storage. They are sensitive to heat, cold, folding, sunlight, and rubbing. 5. To open the package, push the condom inside the package over to one side and rip down that side of the package.

Abstract: The instrumental fracture is a common endodontic complication that is treated by surgical or non-surgical removal approaches. However, no tool exists to help the clinician to choose between available strategies, and decision-making is mostly based on clinical judgment. Digital solutions, such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Virtual Treatment Planning (VTP), were recently proposed in maxillofacial surgery. The aim of the current study is to present a digital tool to help decide between non-surgical and surgical strategies in a clinical situation of a fractured instrument. Five models Citation: Richert, R.; Farges, J.-C.; have been created: the initial state of the patient, two non-surgical removal strategies using a low or Villat, C.; Valette, S.; Boisse, P.; Ducret, high root canal enlargement, and two surgical removal strategies using a 3- or 6-mm apicoectomy.
