The three factors under evaluation (acid, endodontic sealer and region) and their interaction significantly influenced bond strength values (P < 0.05). In general, liquid phosphoric acid had significantly higher bond strength values in the apical region (P < 0.05), with hybrid layer formation, while endodontic sealers reduced bond strength values compared to the control (P [...]

International Clinical Dental Research Organization (ICDRO) is bringing the World Congress in January 2011. This meeting will have some very well know speakers from all over the globe delivering lectures and hands on courses.

Regenerative endodontics is an exciting new concept that seeks to apply the advances in tissue engineering to the regeneration of the pulp-dentin complex. Multiple case reports have shown the ability for previously necrotic, immature teeth to “regenerate” pulp-like tissue allowing for continued development of the tooth. Traditionally, when an immature tooth became necrotic, root development [...]
