Impact of laser disinfection and passive ultrasonic irrigation on postoperative pain in single visit root canal therapy

Introduction: Postoperative endodontic pain is common. 3 to 58% of patients had post-op pain. Canal microbes are tough to eliminate. No irrigant meets all the perfect irrigant characteristics. Methods: In Kanpur, India, 46 participants were enrolled in this randomised clinical trial from January to June 2022. Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics conducted the study. Local anaesthetic (1:2,000 lignocaine with adrenaline) was followed by rubber dam isolation and access cavity preparation. Teeth were cleaned and shaped. Patients were divided into two groups using a coin flip. Group A employed a 2 W 810 nm diode laser for laser disinfection. In Group B, sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) was ultrasonically agitated. After a final treatment with saline, composite resin was used for obturation and post-endodontic restoration. A blinded assessor rated post-endodontic treatment after 6 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, and 7 days. SPSS 20.0 was used to gather and analyse the data after utilising Pearson's Chi-square test with 5% significance. Results: 25 men and 19 women among 44 patients. 10 patients were 40-60, 28 were 30-40, and 12 were 18-29. No statistically significant difference was seen between PUI and laser disinfection in single visit root canal therapy (p=0.086).&nbsp

To evaluate antimicrobial efficacy of calcium hydroxide against enterococcus faecalis either with or without natural medicaments

Aim: Antimicrobial effectiveness of calcium hydroxide against E. faecalis is the primary goal of this research, which aims to compare the effects of calcium hydroxide with and without the addition of turmeric and ocimum tenuiflorum extract. Ingredients and Procedure: Using calcium hydroxide and herbal extracts, the samples were divided into six groups. Normal saline, turmeric extract, and tulsi extract are in groups A1, B1, and C1 respectively. Calcium hydroxide and saline are in Group A; calcium hydroxide and turmeric extract are in Group B; and basil extract is in Group C. Enterococcus faecalis may be grown in brain heart infusion broth (BHI). Three equal-sized sets of media are placed in each of three wells with a diameter of 4 mm on each media plate. A sliding calliper is used to identify inhibitory zones after 1-2 days of incubation at 37°Celsius. Results: This study's statistical findings were generated entirely with SPSS version 18. P values of less than 0.04 were deemed significant. ANOVA and post hoc Games Howell tests were used to compare the mean inhibition zone
