It discusses criteria for obturation such as absence of symptoms. Common obturation materials include gutta-percha, resins, and silver points used with sealers like zinc oxide-eugenol, calcium hydroxide, and epoxy resin. Techniques covered are cold lateral condensation, warm lateral/vertical condensation, thermocompaction, and others. Potential causes of failure include inadequate apical, coronal, or lateral seals and over/under filling.
This document provides an overview of non-vital pulp therapy (also known as pulpectomy or pulp canal treatment) in primary teeth. It defines the procedure, discusses indications and contraindications, and outlines the clinical diagnosis and treatment process. Key points include: the goal of non-vital pulp therapy is to eliminate infection and retain the tooth until exfoliation; an accurate preoperative assessment of pulp status is important for determining the appropriate treatment; and clinical diagnosis involves examining for signs of pain, swelling, mobility, and sensitivity to percussion or thermal tests. The document also reviews the history of moving from extraction of infected primary teeth to more conservative pulp therapies.
This document discusses extraction techniques for primary and permanent teeth in children. It notes key differences in primary versus permanent teeth that impact extraction, such as root shape and size. Techniques are described for different types of teeth, including use of smaller forceps designed for primary teeth and expanding the socket more due to widely-splayed primary molar roots. Management of buried teeth and potential post-operative complications are also outlined. The importance of pre-operative preparation and instructions for the child and parent are emphasized.
The document discusses the clinical technique for composite restoration. It covers initial procedures like local anesthesia and shade selection. It then discusses tooth preparation, including cavity designs like conventional, beveled conventional, modified box shape, and facial/lingual slot. Matrix placement and isolation of the operating site are also covered. Pulp protection and restorative techniques are briefly mentioned.
The document discusses periodontal-endodontic lesions, which occur when inflammation spreads between the pulp and periodontium. It identifies three categories of pathways for communication: developmental, pathologic, and iatrogenic. Microorganisms like Porphyromonas gingivalis and Treponema denticola have been found in endo-perio lesions. Diagnosis involves tests like radiographs, probing, and pulp vitality tests. Treatment aims to address both the pulpal and periodontal involvement through approaches like root canal therapy, scaling and root planing, and sometimes extraction.
Interceptive orthodontics refers to procedures that eliminate or reduce malocclusion in the developing dentition. Local factors that can cause malocclusion include delayed eruption, retained primary teeth, infraocclusion, ectopic eruption, hypodontia, diastema, crowding, and thumb sucking. Treatment for these local factors may include extractions, space maintenance, serial extraction, or appliances to redirect eruption. The timing of interceptive treatment is important to address developing issues before malocclusion worsens.
This document discusses gingivectomy and gingivoplasty periodontal procedures. Gingivectomy involves excising soft tissue from periodontal pockets to eliminate them, while gingivoplasty reshapes gingiva that has lost its normal contours without removing pockets. Surgical gingivectomy involves making incisions and removing pocket walls with knives and nippers. Laser and electrosurgery are alternative techniques. Gingivoplasty reshapes gingiva through thinning, tapering, and sculpting to create a scalloped margin. Both procedures aim to develop healthy tissue and contours, though gingivectomy is rarely used now due to inability to visualize bone and greater post-op discomfort compared to flap surgery.

This slide presentation covers multiple management possibilities of said perforation proposed by various clinicians from around the world which can aid the readers in their treatment plan for the repair of a tooth perforation
Endodontic surgery is performed to address issues like failed root canal treatments, procedural errors, anatomical variations, and biopsies. It involves raising a surgical flap, resecting the root tip, preparing and filling the root end cavity. Potential complications include swelling, pain, nerve damage and infection. A variety of materials can be used for the root end filling including zinc oxide eugenol cements, MTA, composites and glass ionomer cements. The goal is to provide an apical seal to prevent reinfection from microbes remaining in the root canal system.
The document provides information on the diagnosis and treatment planning process for endodontic cases. It details collecting a medical history, subjective symptoms, objective testing including visual examination, radiographs, percussion, and thermal tests to arrive at a pulpal and periapical diagnosis. Possible diagnoses include normal pulp, reversible/irreversible pulpitis, necrosis, and periapical diagnoses like acute/chronic apical periodontitis or abscess. Treatment is based on the diagnoses, restorability, and difficulty factors, with the decisions being whether root canal therapy is needed or a referral is required.
Endodontics, also known as root canal treatment, treats the inside of teeth. It involves diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases of the dental pulp and surrounding tissues. The key phases of root canal treatment are diagnosis to determine the treatment plan, cleaning and shaping the root canals, and obturation where the canals are filled with inert gutta percha and sealer to seal the canals. Root canal treatment aims to relieve pain and retain a tooth that may otherwise need extraction by removing the infected or inflamed pulp and disinfecting the root canal system.

The document concludes by examining reasons for failure of pulpotomy therapy.
The document discusses Cvek's pulpotomy procedure, which involves removing the inflamed pulp tissue beneath an exposure in a young permanent tooth up to 1-3mm deep. This preserves the vitality of the remaining healthy pulp tissue and allows for normal root development. The procedure involves removing carious material, performing the pulpotomy, applying calcium hydroxide to arrest bleeding and provide a bacterial seal, and restoring the tooth permanently. The tooth is then reviewed after 1 month and every 6 months for up to 4 years to check pulp vitality and sensitivity.
This document discusses infant oral health and anticipatory guidance. It provides definitions of terms like risk assessment and anticipatory guidance. It outlines the goals and steps of early infant oral health care visits, including examination, counseling, risk assessment, and establishing anticipatory guidance. The document discusses counseling topics at different developmental stages from infancy to adolescence. It emphasizes the importance of early intervention, prevention of oral diseases, and establishing good oral hygiene habits from an early age through anticipatory guidance.
Early childhood dental caries occurs in all racial and socioeconomic groups; however, it tends to be more prevalent in children in families belonging to the low-income group, where it is seen in epidemic proportions. Dental caries results from an overgrowth of specific organisms that are a part of normally occurring human flora. Human dental flora is site specific, and an infant is not colonized until the eruption of the primary dentition at approximately 6 to 30 months of age. The most likely source of inoculation of an infant's dental flora is the mother, or another intimate care provider, shared utensils, etc. Decreasing the level of cariogenic organisms in the mother's dental flora at the time of colonization can significantly impact the child's redisposition to caries. To prevent caries in children, high-risk individuals must be identified at an early age (preferably high-risk mothers during prenatal care), and aggressive strategies should be adopted, including anticipatory guidance, behavior modifications (oral hygiene and feeding practices), and establishment of a dental home by 1 year of age for children deemed at risk.
This document discusses diagnosis and treatment planning for fixed prosthodontics. It outlines the objectives of prosthodontic treatment as eliminating disease, preserving health, and restoring lost teeth and oral function esthetically. Fixed prosthodontics replaces missing teeth with artificial substitutes that are not removable. Key components include pontics, retainers, connectors, and abutments. Diagnosis involves determining the nature of disease through chief complaints, history, examinations, tests, and diagnostic casts to develop a treatment plan and prognosis.
This document discusses treatment planning in dentistry. It explains that treatment planning involves developing both short and long-term strategies to address a patient's dental needs holistically, while also gaining their cooperation. Treatment plans should be separated into phases including systemic care, acute issues, disease control, definitive treatment, and maintenance. When presenting plans, dentists should ensure patients understand all diagnosis, alternatives, risks, costs and provide opportunities for questions. Informed consent must be obtained that documents all discussed aspects of the proposed treatment plan.

This document summarizes an enhanced recovery care pathway for patients undergoing surgery. It discusses:
- The key components of enhanced recovery pathways for thoracic surgery, maternity care, and medicine based on experiences at various hospitals.
- How enhanced recovery aims to get patients recovering sooner by preparing them before surgery and providing standardized post-operative care and early mobilization.
- Evidence that enhanced recovery pathways improve patient experience and outcomes like reduced length of hospital stay while increasing day-of-surgery admissions without increasing readmissions.
- Future goals of expanding enhanced recovery principles to non-elective care and developing systems to better risk-stratify patients and optimize their fitness before surgery.
Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
2. SCOPE OF OPERATIVE
DENTISTRY:
1. Diagnosis & clinical assessment of the patient.
2. Treatment plan.
3. Operative procedures (cavity preparation) (tooth preparation).
4. Restorative phase (construction of the restoration & application of
cavity liners/bases).
5. Regular follow up & maintenance of existing restorations & the
general health of the dentition.
- Preventive treatment should be done & home care encouraged.
3. PATIENT EVALUATION:
• A 45 years old female patient came to the clinic with pain on the
upper left area.
• Upon examination, we found caries on the proximal and occlusal
surfaces of the upper left first molar (6).
• She’s medically free.
• She’s a bad oral hygiene.
• She’s a high caries index.
5. TREATMENT PLAN:
Stage 1: Cleaning and Oral Health Education.
Stage 2: Stabilization and Referral Stage.
Stage 3: Restorative Work.
Stage 4: Post-Operative information & Recall.
The best treatment plan for a dental patient is one that is directed to
enhancing oral health, the prevention of disease and freedom from
pain and discomfort. It should also fit the dental patient's needs and
prove to be cost-effective. It should not be confused with an idealistic
treatment plan which uses the most clinically advanced and expensive
procedures.
6. CLASS II CAVITY
PREPARATION
“UNIFORM CURVE “:
1. Outline form.
2. Resistance and retention forms.
3. Convenience form.
4. Removal of the remaining carious dentin.
5. Finishing of the cavity walls and margins.
6. Toilet of the cavity.
9. CONSTRUCTION OF THE
RESTORATION:
Amalgam was the restorative material of choice due to:
1- Extensive cavity preparation.
2- Bad oral hygiene of the patient.
3- It has a high compressive strength which is highly recommended.
4- Superior adaptation to cavity walls.
5- Low cost.
