Resin-based composites are widely used restorative materials in clinical practice owing to their excellent aesthetics and durability. These materials are placed via established techniques and require finishing and polishing as an essential part of the procedure. Rough or poorly polished surfaces contribute to staining, plaque accumulation, gingival irritation, secondary caries, and poor wear resistance. There is a lack of consensus with respect to the finishing and polishing protocols of composites. This book explores the best finishing protocol for composite restorative materials using a...

Dieses Buch ist insofern relevant, als es die erste randomisierte kontrollierte Studie zum Vergleich der Wirkung von zwei Medikamenten (Calcipex und Metapex) darstellt. Sie hat eine höhere Relevanz als die In-vitro-Studien, die nicht das volle klinische Potenzial eines intrakanalen Medikaments zeigen und die Auswirkungen der Fähigkeiten des Arztes, der intraoralen Faktoren und anderer damit zusammenhängender Einschränkungen außer Acht lassen. Die Bewertung erfolgte anhand von Bakterienkulturen (KBE/ml), die als Goldstandard-Methode gelten. Die Bedingungen waren standardisiert und es...

Ce livre est pertinent car il présente le premier essai contrôlé randomisé qui compare l'effet de deux médicaments (Calcipex et Metapex). Il est plus pertinent que les études in vitro, qui ne montrent pas tout le potentiel clinique d'un médicament intracanalaire et omettent les effets des compétences du clinicien, des facteurs intra-oraux et d'autres limitations connexes. L'évaluation a été réalisée à l'aide d'une culture bactérienne CFU/ml, qui est considérée comme la méthode de référence. Les conditions ont été normalisées et un protocole de désinfection approprié a...

This book is relevant as it states the first randomized controlled trial to compare the effect of two medicaments (Calcipex and Metapex). It has higher relevance as compared to the in-vitro studies, which does not show the full clinical potential of an intracanal medicament and omits the effects of clinician's skills, intra oral factors and other related limitations. The evaluation was done using bacterial culture CFU/ml which is considered as the gold standard method. Conditions were standardized and appropriate disinfection protocol was followed.

Apical seal of retrograde filling materials plays a vital role in determining the successful outcomes after endodontic microsurgery. The biocompatibility and physical properties of these materials are the focus of today's scientific research. Conventionally, amalgam and zinc-oxide eugenol based cements were commonly used, but over the time the clinical outcomes were not satisfactory. Calcium silicates based cements have shown excellent regenerative properties and satisfactory healing response with modern surgical techniques.This book explores the sealing ability of novel calcium silicate...
