Regenerative endodontic procedures are indicated for the treatment of necrotic immature teeth by allowing root development, resulting in increased root length, thickness and apical closure. To be effective, the disinfection of the environment is a prerequisite and the elimination of the instrumentation stage hinders the debridement that is performed only by chemical solutions. The associa…
The chelating agents Etidronate (HEDP) and Tetrasodium EDTA alkali (EDTANa4) recently were suggested as substitutes for EDTA in removing smear layer, therefore they possess the advantage they can be used mixed with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) in the biomechanical preparation of root canal system without compromising the dissolution of organic matter and the antimicrobial action of NaOCl. …
In the case of endodontic failure, one of the resources for the resolution is the Endodontic retreatment. During root canal desobturation, can be used solvents to dissolv the material and facilitate its removal. Numerous methods of desobturation have being proposed, using nickel-Titanium instruments. The Nickel-titanium alloys has been suffering thermal treatment seeking greater flexibili…
The project will examine by means of scanning electron microscopy and micro-analysis of X-rays, materials, instruments and protocols of irrigation used in endodontics, being divided into 3 subprojetos. The subproject 1 will clarify the clinical some doubts, such as, what is the reason for the darkening of white MTA, as well as if the addition of other components in powder and liquid can i…

The efficacy of regenerative endodontic procedures depends on the disinfection of the environment, which is achieved solely through chemical solutions. The combined use of low concentrations of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) has been recommended for the cleaning and disinfection of immature necrotic tooth canals. However, studies have shown that…
The objective of the present study will be to evaluate the extent of penetration of threetypes of endodontic cements (Ready-to-use bioceramic cement, Resin cement, Bioceramiccement powder + liquid) in lateral canals of curved roots in artificial teeth, after sealing thecement with different devices. One hundred and twenty specimens, presenting curved rootsand simulating external canals wi…
Endodontics involves the management of microbial infection. Its procedures encompass not only endodontic treatment, retreatment, and paraendodontic surgeries but also regenerative endodontics and vital pulp therapies. Hydraulic sealers are widely employed in all these areas of Endodontics due to their antimicrobial properties, sealing ability, and resistance, despite their handling diffic…

The present work will analyze the precision and safety of four motors with locators used in Endodontics (VDW Gold, IRoot Pro, E-Connect S and TriAuto ZX with experimental reciprocant movement). For the accuracy analysis, human lower incisors will be placed in an alginate model and the Glide Path with instrument X1 15/.04 in reciprocating motion, monitored with the ligament built-in, progr…
Irrigation agitation methods have been increasingly recommended in Endodontics with the intention of potentiating the cleaning and antisepsis of the root canal system, since areas of complexity are not touched by the instruments and it becomes difficult to clean them by conventional irrigation. Thus, agitation protocols of the irrigation solution increases its contact with the canal walls…
The biomechanical preparation of root canals is the step that seeks to clean and antisepsis the canal system. The advent of nickel-titanium instruments favored a safer preparation and better taper characteristics, and also provided the development of mechanized instruments. However, many professionals and undergraduate courses do not have engines. A new nickel-titanium hand file has been …

Solutions used in endodontic treatment can alter root canal surface properties and composition, interfering with the adhesion of sealers. Free spaces along the obturation allows infiltration of microorganisms from the oral environment to apical region, leading to endodontic failure. This study will be divided into two stages: In stage 1 in Brazil, the objective was to develop a final chel…
The aim of the study will be to analyze the chemical-physical properties and bioactivity of 4 retrograde filling materials with alternative radiopacifiers and vehicle in comparison with the MTA Angelus. Three experimental cements (white Portland cement (PC) with 30% of zirconium oxide (ZO); PC with 30% of calcium tungstate (CT); Sealepox RP) and MTA Vitalcem will be tested in comparison w…
The aim of the study is to perform the analysis of microstructure and elements of cements and dentin/cement interface. The evaluated cements will be: I - White MTA, II - Portland cement (PC), III - PC with 20% of zirconium oxide (ZO), IV - PC with 50% of ZO, V - PC with 20% of calcium tungstate (CT) and VI - PC with 50% of CT. The analysis of microstructure will be performed using the ene…
