Comparative in vitro study of apically extruded material after four different root canal Instrumentation techniques.

Forty newly extracted human upper central incisors were submitted to root canal instrumentation 1 mm from the apex using four different techniques: standard, step-preparation, crown-down, and ultrasound, with distilled and deionized water as the irrigating solution. The extrusion product was collected into a collecting device constructed for this purpose. Extrusion was calculated by the determination of the mass of extruded material. The step-preparation technique caused a larger amount of extrusion than the standard technique, which in turn caused greater extrusion than the crown-down and ultrasound techniques. All techniques used caused extrusion of material beyond the apical foramen.

Effects of various irrigating solutions on the cleaning of the root canal with ultrasonic instrumentation.

The authors studied, in vitro, by light microscopy and by morphometric analysis, the cleaning capacity of Dakin's solution, water and Tergentol, when used as auxiliary solutions to ultrasonic instrumentation of root canals. After irrigation and instrumentation, 15 extracted human mandibular incisors, with a single root and with only one canal, were submitted to routine histological processing with serial 6-microns sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The results showed that Dakin's solution energized by ultrasound leaves root canals with less debris than Tergentol; water falls into an intermediate position. The apical third showed more debris than the middle third, and none of the irrigating solutions left the root canals free of debris.

[Absorption capacity of different brands of paper points].

The absorption ability of paper points of different brands was assessed "in vitro". All points showed absorbing ability higher than 100 per center their own weight, but differences in moistening rate were detected among brands.

["In vitro" evaluation of the action of various cavity varnishes].

The authors studied in vitro the capacity of FORP-USP cavity varnishes, COPALAINE (Prodonto), COPALITE (H. J. Bosworth Co.), CAVITINE (SS WHITE) and UNIVERSAL (SS WHITE) to promote impermeabilization. The tests were done by the use of filter paper and the impermeabilization was measured by the Rhodamine B stain infiltration. The FORP-USP cavity varnishes Copalaine and Copalite were more effective in promoting impermeabilization.
