    Efficiency of ProTaper Universal Retreatment, Reciproc Blue and XP-endo Shaper in the removal of a bioceramic-based root canal filling
    (Istanbul Univ Press, Istanbul Univ Rectorate, 2022) Ciftcioglu, Elif; Guzel, Rezan Sungur; Dincer, Gozde Akbal; Karakaya, Gunes; Kucukay, Enver Sedat; Endodonti / Endodontics
    PurposeThis in vitro study aimed to assess the performance of ProTaper Universal Retreatment (PTUR), Reciproc Blue (RB), and XP-endo Shaper (XPS) system in the removal of bioceramic root canal filling.Materials and MethodsForty-five human single-rooted mandibular premolars were prepared up to 30/.04 and filled with Endosequence BC sealer and BC points before being assigned into three groups (n=15). The root canal fillings were removed until reaching pre-determined working length (WL) with PTUR in group 1, RB in group 2, and XPS in group 3. During the removal of the filling material, apically extruded debris was collected in pre-weighed Eppendorf tubes, and operation time was recorded with a digital chronometer. Reaching the WL and maintaining apical patency were evaluated separately. The data were statistically analyzed using Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney U tests.ResultsThe mean amount of extruded debris was highest in the PTUR group, although all instruments caused apical extrusion of debris. The mean time for reaching WL was longest for RB and shortest for XPS, with significant differences among the groups (p<0.05). Although the difference was not significant (p=0.799), in the PTUR group the WL was reached in 93.3% of the samples, which was higher than other groups (86.7%).ConclusionAll tested systems caused a certain amount of debris extrusion. XPS was associated with less extrusion while regaining more rapid access to the periapical area than PTUR and RB.

    Shaping ability of WaveOne Gold and OneReci by using two apical sizes: a micro-computed tomographic assessment
    (Peerj inc, 2023) Ciftcioglu, Elif; Keles, Ali; Dincer, Gozde Akbal; Ates, Melis Oya; Kucukay, Enver Sedat; Endodonti / Endodontics
    Backround. OneReci (MicroMega, Besan,con, France) is a recently introduced single -file reciprocating system with scarce information revealed on its shaping ability. This study aimed to compare the shaping abilities of OneReci and a well-documented single-file reciprocating system WaveOne Gold (WOG; Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) and evaluate the effect of increased apical enlargement on the preparation quality, using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT).Methods. After an initial micro-CT scanning, twenty mesial root canals of mandibular molars were anatomically matched. The canals were assigned to two experimental groups (n = 10), using OneReci or WOG in different canals of the same root. The glide paths were created, and root canals were prepared twice, using size 25 and 35 instruments of the systems, respectively. The specimens were scanned with micro -CT after each preparation. The increase in canal volume, amount of dentin removal, unprepared root canal surface, canal transportation, centering ratio and preparation times were assessed. The data were analysed with independent sample t-tests, variance analyses, Friedman and Mann-Whitney U tests. The significance level was set at 5%.Results. Each preparation increased the canal volume and dentin removal while decreasing the unprepared root surface. The difference between the systems became significant after preparation with size 35 instruments (p < 0.05). Regarding canal transportation and centering ratio, the difference was insignificant (p > 0.05). The first preparation step (glide path + size 25 instrument) was significantly faster in the OneReci group (p < 0.05).Conclusions. Preparation with size 25 instruments of the systems appeared to be safe with similar shaping performances. Larger apical preparation promoted significantly higher dentin removal, volume increase, and prepared surface area in WOG.

    Evaluation of treatment and restoration preferences in deep carious teeth with various pulp exposure sizes: A questionnaire-based survey
    (Wiley, 2023) Yurdaguven, Guelsah Yenier; Isik, Vasfiye; Ciftcioglu, Elif; Ulukapi, Hasmet; Kayahan, Mehmet Baybora; Endodonti / Endodontics
    This study evaluated the management preferences in a deep carious vital tooth. A questionnaire was e-mailed to members of the Turkish Dental Association. The questionnaire included a photograph and radiographs of an extremely deep carious molar (#16) of a 30-year old man suffering from cold and chewing sensitivity. The dentists were asked to choose treatments for pulp exposure of <1, 1- 2, and =2 mm and a permanent restoration. Chi-squared test was used to analyse data (p < 0.05). 504 (4.84%) of 10 411 dentists responded. When the pulp exposure was <1 mm: direct pulp capping (84.9%); 1- 2 mm: root canal treatment (49.6%); =2 mm: root canal treatment (85.7%) were the most preferred treatments. 69.6% of the respondents chose direct composite restorations. If the tooth would be an abutment, most respondents preferred root canal treatment, regardless of the perforation size. The extent of pulp exposure and the type of permanent restoration influenced the treatment decision making process.

    Irrigant flow characteristics in the root canal with internal root resorption: a computational fluid dynamics evaluation
    (Springer, 2022) Ciftcioglu, Elif; Yucel, Ozgun; Isik, Vasfiye; Keles, Ali; Kayahan, Mehmet Baybora; Endodonti / Endodontics
    Irrigation dynamics of syringe irrigation with different needle designs (side-vented, double side-vented, notched) and ultrasonic irrigation in the root canal with internal root resorption were evaluated using a computational fluid dynamics model. A micro-CT scanned mandibular premolar was used for modeling internal root resorption. The needles and the ultrasonic tip were positioned at 2, 4, and 5 mm from the working length. The insertion depth and the irrigation model were found influential on the shear stress and the irrigant extension. The extension of the irrigant increased toward 2-5 mm from the working length. Ultrasonic irrigation revealed the highest shear stress values regardless of the insertion depth. The shear stress distribution on the resorption cavity walls gradually increased when the needles were positioned coronally. The residence time of the irrigant in the canal was affected by the needle position relative to the internal root resorption cavity and the needle type.

    Influence of Different Dentin Conditioning Protocols on Bond Strength of a Bioceramic Root Canal Filling
    (Univ Zagreb, Sch dental Medicine, 2023) Ciftcioglu, Elif; Barut, Guher; Isik, Vasfiye; Arican, Burcin; Karagoz-Kucukay, Isil; Endodonti / Endodontics
    Objective: Bioceramic-based sealers, in combination with bioceramic-coated gutta-perchas, have be-come more commonly used in root canal obturation. The present study aimed to assess the influ-ence of laser-assisted dentin conditioning compared with conventional conditioning protocols on the push-out bond strength (PBS) of a bioceramic-based root canal filling. Material and Methods: Sixty extracted mandibular premolars with one root canal were instrumented with EndoSequence rotary files up to size 40/0.04. Four types of dentin conditioning protocols were used: 1) 5.25% NaOCl (con-trol), 2) 17% EDTA+5.25% NaOCl, 3) Diode laser-agitated 17% EDTA+5.25% NaOCl, 4) Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation+5.25% NaOCl. Teeth were obturated using the single-cone technique with Endo -Sequence BC sealer+BC points (EBCF). After having obtained 1-mm-thick horizontal slices from the apical, middle and coronal root thirds, push-out test was carried out, and failure modes were de-termined. The data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance and Tukey's test with a signifi-cance level of p<0.05. Results: The apical segments showed the highest PBS in all groups (p<0.05). In the apical segments, EDTA+NaOCl and diode laser agitated EDTA increased the PBS compared to the control (p=0.0001) and Er, Cr: YSGG laser (p=0.011 and p=0.027, respectively) groups. Both la-ser-used groups revealed significantly higher PBS values in the middle and coronal segments than EDTA+NaOCl (p<0.05). The bond failure was predominantly cohesive without any significant differ-ence among the groups (p>0.05). Conclusions: Laser-assisted dentin conditioning had distinct ef-fects on the PBS of the EBCF at different root segments. Although Er, Cr: YSGG was ineffective in the apical segments, generally, laser-assisted dentin conditioning affected PBS more favorably than con-ventional irrigation groups, with a more pronounced effect in the diode laser-agitated EDTA group.

    Negotiating the second mesiobuccal canal: A comparison of nickel titanium files through the experience of undergraduate dental students
    (Wiley, 2023) Ates, Ayfer Atav; Arican, Burcin; Ciftcioglu, Elif; Kucukay, Enver Sedat; Endodonti / Endodontics
    ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to compare the ability of undergraduate students to reach working length (WL) in second mesiobuccal root canals (MB2) of maxillary first molars (n = 210) by using Reciproc Blue without glide path preparation, and One Curve with glide path preparation. MethodsThe students (n = 105) attended theoretical and practical courses. The first group (n = 53) shaped MB2 root canals using the One Curve system and then Reciproc Blue; the second group (n = 52) shaped MB2 root canals following the reverse sequence. Participants completed a questionnaire. The chi-square and Mann-Whitney U test were used for statistical analysis using significance of p The full WL was reached and shaping procedures were completed without complications in Reciproc Blue and One Curve groups at rates of 86.67% and 82.85%, respectively (p > 0.05). Treatment time was shorter in Reciproc Blue (p < 0.05). More (62.9%) students felt the One Curve system safer, while 61% felt the Reciproc Blue system faster. ConclusionsWithin the limitations of this study, instrument kinematics and glide path preparation did not interfere with undergraduate students' ability to achieve the WL in MB2 root canals.

    Evaluation of the knowledge of final-year dental students on the use of antibiotics in endodontics in Turkey
    (Wiley, 2021) Arican, Burcin; Ciftcioglu, Elif; Isik, Vasfiye; Karagoz-Kucukay, Isil; Endodonti / Endodontics
    The knowledge of the final-year dental students on antibiotic use in endodontics in Turkey was assessed. The study was conducted at 20 Dentistry Faculties. A questionnaire was sent to the universities including the concerning several scenarios about endodontic cases. 1113 final-year dental students participated in the study. Respondents' significant choice was not to administrate antibiotics in endodontic treatments of symptomatic irreversible pulpitis, pulp necrosis, acute apical periodontitis, chronic apical abscess with or without sinus tract, retreatment, inadequate local anaesthesia and patient requests (P > 0.05). In acute apical abscess (AAA) with diffuse cases, choice of antibiotic administration was statistically higher (P < 0.05), while in AAA-localised cases, the ratio of antibiotic administration versus non-administration was similar. Amoxicillin was found to be the first-choice antibiotic in patients without medical allergies, whereas in allergic patients the first choice was clindamycin. Final-year dental students have fundamental knowledge on the antibiotic administration in endodontics.

    Shaping outcomes of Reciproc Blue and Rotate in roots canals with band-shaped isthmuses: micro-CT study
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2023) Keskin, Cangul; Pirimoglu, Burcu; Ciftcioglu, Elif; Dinger, Esma; Komec, Onur; Keles, Ali; Endodonti / Endodontics
    Objective This study assessed the outcome of shaping the mesial roots of mandibular first molars containing band-shaped isthmuses with an isthmus floor located at the apical third with Reciproc Blue and Rotate instruments in terms of canal transportation, canal aberrations and unprepared apical canals.Materials and methods Pair-matched mesial roots of mandibular first molars according to their isthmus location (distance from apical foramina) and size were constructed based on quantitative measurements (length, major and minor diameter at isthmus roof and floor) on preoperative micro-CT scanning (n = 10). The pair-matched specimens were prepared either using Reciproc Blue R25 (25.08v) or Rotate (15.04, 20.05, 25.06) instruments and then subjected to a second micro-CT scanning. Micro-CT scans were analysed to evaluate the canal transportation at the apical foramen and isthmus floor levels and the frequency of procedural errors (separated instruments, artificial canal preparation, cross shaping and unprepared apical canals). Canal transportation values were compared using Mann-Whitney U, and the distribution of procedural errors was compared with chi-square tests with a 5% significance threshold.Results Greater transportation values were detected in the apical foramen level compared to the isthmus floor in both groups. No significant difference was detected between Rotate and Reciproc Blue groups in terms of absolute transportation values and the incidence of procedural errors (p > .05).Conclusion Preparation of mesial root canals containing a band-shaped isthmus at the apical portion with Reciproc Blue and Rotate instruments caused transportation of the original canal position at the isthmus floor and the apical foramen levels and resulted in procedural errors.Clinical relevanceThis ex vivo micro-CT study using controlled pair-matched specimens showed that presence of a band-shaped isthmus complicates canal preparation procedure irrespective of the preparation systems.

    Influence of different irrigation regimens on the dentinal tubule penetration of a bioceramic-based root canal sealer: a confocal analysis study
    (Springer London Ltd, 2021) Ates, Ayfer Atav; Arican, Burcin; Ciftcioglu, Elif; Kucukay, E. Sedat; Endodonti / Endodontics
    This study aims to assess the efficacy of various irrigation protocols on the dentinal tubule penetration of a bioceramic-based endodontic sealer. Sixty-four single-rooted extracted human mandibular incisors were used. After instrumentation, teeth were randomly divided into the following four groups (n = 16 each) according to the final irrigation technique: group 1, conventional endodontic needle (CEN); group 2, EndoActivator (EA); group 3, Er,Cr: YSGG laser; group 4, XP-endo Finisher (XPF). The root canals were finally irrigated with 17% EDTA and 5.25% NaOCl for 1 min (min) respectively. The teeth were then obturated with Endosequence BC Points and rhodamine B dye-labeled BC Sealer. After 2 weeks, 1-mm-thick transverse sections were cut 2 and 5 mm from the apex, and examined by confocal laser scanning microscopy at 5 x magnification. The total percentage of sealer penetration (TPSP), sealer penetration area (SPA), and maximum sealer penetration depth (MSPD) was measured. Data were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis, Dunn's multiple comparison, and Wilcoxon tests, with significance set at P < 0.05. At 2 mm level, no significant differences were detected among the groups (P > 0.05). At the 5 mm level, the XPF group showed significantly higher values for both TPSP and SPA in comparison with the Er,Cr: YSGG laser and CEN groups (P < 0.05), but no significant difference was observed with the EA group. The choice of different final irrigation techniques can affect dentinal tubule penetration.

    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2024) Yurdaguven, Gulsah Yenier; Ciftcioglu, Elif; Kazokoglu, Fatma Sehnaz; Kayahan, Mehmet Baybora; Endodonti / Endodontics
    Objectives: This prospective clinical trial evaluated the clinical performance of ceramic partial coverage indirect adhesive restorations (PCIARs) in posterior teeth luted with a light-cured composite resin. Methods: From April 2016 to January 2017, a total of 60 patients (27 males, 33 females; mean age: 42.2 +/- 10.86 years old) received 83 glass-ceramic PCIARs (26 onlay, 57 overlay) made of IPS Emax CAD (Ivoclar Vivadent). All restorations were luted with a light-cured composite resin (Filtek Z250, 3 M ESPE) by two operators. Two independent calibrated examiners blinded to the operators performing the treatment evaluated the restorations at baseline, 1-year, and 5-year following FDI World Dental Federation criteria including esthetic, functional, and biological properties. Data were analyzed with the Friedman test and the Wilcoxon sign test (p p < 0.05). Results: None of the restorations failed due to fracture or retention loss. One restoration was clinically unsatisfactory because of secondary caries. Marginal staining (p:0.000), marginal adaptation (p:0.018) showed significant differences between 1-year and 5-year recall. Conclusions: The PCIARs demonstrated excellent clinical performance at 1-year period. The degradation parameters appeared as minor staining and minor irregularities after 5-year, without any affect on the clinical performance.
