Polyether ether ketone & #8211; As an alternative biomaterial for Metal Richmond crown-3-dimensional finite element analysis
Conclusion: The results proved that the “Metal Richmond crown” postsystem had a tendency to produce more stress on the tooth and the other surrounding regions than the PEEK. The FEA proved the pros of using “PEEK post Richmond crown,” which is a big boon for the modern era dentistry. (Source: Journal of Conservative Dentistry)

Effect of intracanal and extracanal heating on pulp dissolution property of continuous chelation irrigant
Conclusion: Although intracanal heating of continuous chelation mixture improves its pulp dissolution capacity significantly as compared to extracanal heating and nonheating protocol but pulpal dissolution capacity of nonheated 5% NaOCl still remains significantly better as compared to intracanal and extracanal heated continuous chelation mixture.

Endodontic management of an atypical permanent mandibular second molar with one buccal and two lingual roots
This article describes an unusual location of the orifices and roots in a permanent mandibular second molar with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and symptomatic apical periodontitis. During its micro-endodontic management, the cone-beam computed tomography evaluation revealed a rare variant of a three-rooted permanent mandibular second molar with four canals. The single buccal root had two canals with Vertucci's Type II pattern and a lingual root dividing into two with a single canal in each root, respectively. Interestingly, the concerned tooth had normal occlusal morphology and alignment in the arch. A follo...

Interdisciplinary esthetic approach in clinical dental rehabilitation
Giovane Hisse Gomes, Andrew de Oliveira Corbellini, William Gelain Rotta, Josue Martos, Grégori Franco BoeiraJournal of Conservative Dentistry 2021 24(5):519-523 During the esthetic evaluation of smile, the presence of diastemas, tooth color, size and shape, and the amount of gingival exposure are important factors to be considered. A 23-year-old female patient was referred to us with a dissatisfaction with her smile. After clinical examination revealed esthetic alterations as generalized tooth yellowish discoloration, a slight diastema in the upper anterior region, and a shortened appearance of maxillary dent...

Effect of pulpal floor perforation repair on biomechanical response of mandibular molar: A finite element analysis
Conclusion: The site of the pulpal floor perforation affected the stress distribution and accumulation. Central and buccal furcal perforation repairs on the pulpal floor with calcium silicate-based cement in mandibular molar are likely to have an increased risk of fracture.

Microscopic and elemental characterization of hydrated dental pulp capping agents
Conclusions : The higher surface calcium level in Biodentine and MTA Angelus may enhance reparative dentin formation. The surface calcium concentration of Endocem MTA and ApaCal ART was found to be lesser than that of MTA Angelus, but with the added advantage of fast-setting property. Hence, they are potential alternative materials for vital pulp therapy. (Source: Journal of Conservative Dentistry)
