Abstract

A simple inexpensive method of making a laboratory model for the teaching of root resection has been presented. The technique of fabrication of the models requires only a rubber dental model mold, extracted or dentiform teeth, laboratory wax, and laboratory stone or plaster. This is one attempt to fulfill the need for developing laboratory exercises for the teaching of the various periodontal procedures.

Scanning electron microscopic study of the apical dentine surfaces lased with ND:YAG laser following apicectomy and retrofill.

The purpose of this investigation was to study the effects of a Nd:YAG laser on the cut surface of teeth using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Eighteen single-rooted teeth were cleaned, shaped, and obturated with gutta-percha and root canal sealer. The apical 3 mm of each tooth were resected with a diamond fissure bur, and the teeth were randomly divided into two groups of nine teeth each. The resected surface of each root in one group was lased twice. The duration of lasing and the number of pulses were recorded for each tooth. The teeth were air dried, mounted on stubs, sputter-coated with gold-palladium and examined under SEM. Application of the Nd:YAG laser caused melting of apical dentine surfaces. The melted material resembled the appearance of glazed interconnected droplets. Resolidification and recrystalization of the melted areas appeared to be incomplete and discontinuous. Some areas between the glazed regions appeared similar to those of non-lased apical dentine resected root surfaces.

Microscopes in endodontics.

The introduction of microscopes in clinical and surgical endodontics is fairly recent. Potential applications, including removal of fractured instruments, localizing calcified canals, soft tissue management and root-end procedures, are reviewed.
