Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the apically extruded debris during endodontic retreatment of teeth with open apices using hand instruments and rotary instruments with continuous rotation and reciprocation. Methodology: Forty-five single-rooted maxillary incisors and canines were used. The root tips were dissected and #1 Gates Glidden burs were allowed to protrude 1 mm beyond the apex. After root canal shaping and filling using AH Plus and gutta-percha, the teeth were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=15). Removal of filling was performed as follows: Group 1: ProTaper Universal-Retreatment files using continuous rotation + ProTaper Universal files Group 2: K-type hand files Group 3: Reciproc files using the reciprocating motion. The extruded debris was collected in glass vials. The weight of the collecting vials was measured before and after instrumentation using a microbalance and the difference was recorded as the amount of extruded debris. The data were statistically analysed using Kruskall Wallis and Bonferroni corrected Mann Whitney U test. Results: Statistical analysis showed that the amount of extrusion was significantly less in rotary systems compared to hand instruments and reciprocating systems (p<0.05). On the other hand, the amount of extrusion in the reciprocating group was significantly lower compared to hand instruments (p<0.05) Conclusion: The amount of extrusion in Ni-Ti instruments using a continuous rotation was significantly lower compared to hand instruments and Ni-Ti instruments using a reciprocating motion in teeth with open apices.

Revascularization: a review of clinical reports on a contemporary treatment modality for endodontics
(Allied Acad, 2017) Guven, Esra Pamukcu; Karapinar-Kazandag, Meric; Tanalp, Jale
Objectives: The purpose of this review is to provide a general update on clinical studies of revascularization which is frequently pronounced in recent endodontic literature. Materials and methods: A PubMED search was carried out to retrieve articles pertaining to clinical attempts on revascularization. Articles extending until 2014 were retrieved. Filtering was performed to make necessary exclusions and an overall number of 62 articles were included. Results: Though a search of the available literature shows that there are variations among different authors in terms of treatment strategies in revascularization, the methodology appears to be a reliable and predictable treatment option. Conclusion: The establishment of a well-standardized protocol will render revascularization to be more strongly accepted as a universal treatment modality. Clinical relevance: Revascularization is a conservative methodology whereby proliferation of a new connective tissue into a previously infected and necrotic pulp space is expected. In case a correct strategy is followed, continuation of root development with concurrent thickening of root canal walls will provide many advantages both for the patient and the clinician. With more standardized treatment protocols awaited for the future, the methodology will be better established in routine clinical practice.
