Dentin debris is created during instrumentation, and its complete removal from the root canal remains a challenge. Future anti-debris strategies are likely to combine chemical effects with physical energy. Endodontic irrigating solutions can kill bacteria in infected dentin, depending on the type and concentration of the irrigant, and time of exposure. However, serious concerns have been expressed regarding weakening of dentin strength by irrigation. Irrigation-dentin interaction will be one of the key areas of future research in order to optimize the desired effects of irrigation and to...

Orofacial pain is often the impetus for patients to seek dental care, and endodontic disease accounts for a significant proportion of this pain. That said, fear of pain during dental procedures is a major deterrent for many prospective dental patients. Thankfully, pain management strategies have significantly improved over time. The foundation of pain management is the determination of pain source and development of a definitive diagnosis. Delivery of definitive care, either by endodontic therapy or extraction, is the best way to provide complete relief of pain of endodontic origin. Beyond...

L'esthétique gingivale se concentre sur l'apparence des gencives et leur rôle dans l'esthétique du sourire. Avec l'augmentation des attentes des patients et les progrès technologiques, l'esthétique gingivale est devenue cruciale en dentisterie. La gencive encadre les dents, influençant leur apparence, et son évaluation comprend l'appréciation de la couleur, de la texture, de la forme et de la relation avec les dents. Les options de traitement comprennent des procédures chirurgicales (gingivectomie, gingivoplastie, allongement de la couronne) et non chirurgicales (traitement au laser,...

Die Zahnfleischästhetik befasst sich mit dem Aussehen des Zahnfleisches und seiner Rolle für die Ästhetik des Lächelns. Mit den steigenden Erwartungen der Patienten und den Fortschritten in der Technologie ist die Zahnfleischästhetik zu einem wichtigen Thema in der Zahnmedizin geworden. Das Zahnfleisch umrahmt die Zähne und beeinflusst deren Aussehen. Bei der Bewertung des Zahnfleisches werden Farbe, Textur, Form und Beziehung zu den Zähnen beurteilt. Zu den Behandlungsmöglichkeiten gehören chirurgische (Gingivektomie, Gingivoplastik, Kronenverlängerung) und nicht-chirurgische...

Biomimetics involves studying biological materials and processes to create analogous products, fostering innovation across fields promoting harmony between humans and nature. Biomimetic dentistry introduces innovative, sustainable approaches to restorative care by emulating natural processes, resulting in improved patient outcomes. This approach emphasizes repairing damaged teeth with minimally invasive techniques that replicate the aesthetics and functionality of natural teeth. Its primary objectives include: Regenerating dental structures and replacing lost tissues in a way that imitates...
