The effects of surgical exposures of dental pulps in germ-free and conventional rats. 21 germ free rats healed after pulpal exposure, no apical pathosis found. 15 conventional developed pulpal necrosis. Presence of absence of microbial flora is the major determinant in the healing of exposed pulps.
Zack and Cohen, 1965, OOO
Pulp response to eternally applied heat. Monkeys. Heat was applied to teeth with soldering iron for periods of 5 to 20 seconds. Increase in internal temperature: 4 F; minimal pulpal changes at time of experiment, no distinguishable changes from normal teeth afterwards. 10 F; destruction and aspiration of odontoblasts into tubules, destruction of Tome’s fibrils. Recovery after 56 days but with scaring (irritation dentin). 20 F; complete disruption and destruction of odontoblast in the area. some developed pulpal abscess, others necrosis. Some developed dentoalveolar abscess 30 F; all teeth irreversible necrotic response. some severe dentoalveolar abscesses. Quantity and intensity of heat applied to pulp are important. Use coolant when drilling.

Factors affecting the long-term results of endo treatment. 356 pt’s 8-10 yrs after tx. Success rates: Vital/non-vital pulp w/o PARL; > 96% Necrotic with PARL= 86% Retreat with PARL= 62% Factors: Instrumentation to full length; 90% healing rate of PARL short; 69% healing rate of PARL Level of obturation; W/i 2mm of apex= 94% normal PA conditions overextended= 76% short = 68%
Sundqvist, 1998, OOO
Microbiological analysis of teeth with failed endo treatment and the outcome of conservative retreatment. 54 RCT teeth with persistent PARL were retreated, sampled and followed for 5 yrs. Microflora; Mainly single species of mostly G+. Most commonly found; E. faecalis (really?, no sh#$) Overall success rate = 74% flora of untreated teeth is different. Infection at the time of obturation and size of PARL had as significant negative influence on the prognosis. A. israelii associated with lack of healing of PARL.

Influence of infection at the time of root filling on the outcome of RCT of teeth with apical periodontitis. 55 single rooted teeth with apical periodontitis, instrumented and irrigated with NaOCl. Follow 5 yrs Success rate: Negative culture at time of obturation; 94% complete pa healing. Positive culture at time of obturation; 68% healing of pa lesion. Period of 4-5 years necessary to see the full impact of the persistent bacteria on the prognosis. Obturation should be delayed until after a suitable period of medication with an antimicrobial dressing to eradicate all infection which is impossible in one visit. ie. two visits are advocated.
Molander, 1998, IEJ
Microbial status of RCT with apical periodontitis. 100 RCT with PARL Predominant species; G+ Facultative anaerobic = 69% Most frequent species: E. faecalis Microflora of treated teeth varies from flora of untreated necrotic pulp quantitatively and qualitatively.

Disinfection by endodontic irritants and dressings of experimentally infected dentinal tubules. Bovine dentin specimens infected with E. faecalis, S sangis, E. coli or P. aeruginosa. Specimens were infected for up to 14 days and degree of infection was monitored. E. faecalis; rapid infection of the whole length and survival after removal of nutrients. S. sanguis; 2 weeks for complete infection. E.coli; only penetrated 600µm. except for E.faecalis all other organisms died after 4 to 48 hrs. IKI more potent than NaOCl or CHI. Presence of smear layer delayed but did not eliminate the effect of the medicaments.

Endodontic leakage studies reconsidered More research is needed on the methodology of leakage studies. Way too many studies in the 80 and 90s with varying results that provide little relevant information.
Roane, 1985, JOE
The Balanced force concept for instrumentation of curved canals. Balanced force was derived from the law; for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Magnitude of the restoring force is a function of: File’s mass Geometry composition Radius and arc of instrumentation curve. Placement is accomplished using CW rotation no more than 180 degrees with light inward pressure. Cutting is accomplished using CCW rotation of at least 120 degrees and inward pressure. Cleaning or debris removal is accomplished using one or two non cutting, no pressure outward pull clockwise rotation. Balance force allows you to produce enlargement of canals past severe curvatures.

Bacteriologic evaluation of math effect for 0.5 % NaOCl in endodontic therapy. No bacteria could be recovered from 12 out of 15 root canals at the fifth appointment when NaOCl was used No bacteria could be recovered from 8 out of 15 root canals when saline was used NaOCl is more effective than saline. 88% of strains recovered were anaerobic. Most common; F. nucleatum Closed RCS seems to be a selective milieu where the composition of the flora is influenced by: Changes in anaerobiosis. nutritional interrelationships. More studies are needed to evaluate higher concentrations of NaOCl.

A comparison of RC preparations using NITI hand and engine driven and k-flex endo instruments. Canal curvature and shape: no significant difference with the different instruments. Canal transportation; Less with NITI rotary instruments. SS instruments are able to negotiate obstructions better because they do not bend, also better tactile sensation.
Saunders and Saunders, 1994
Coronal leakage as a cause of failure in RCT. A review More important to seal the coronal part of molars with glass ionomer due to the presence of accessory canals in this area It is important to remove the smear layer because it can be broken down by bacterial toxins Crown of tooth should be restored expeditiously. Temp material should be at least 3.5 mm thick. Chemically active adhesives might play an important role in the future.

Root resorption - etiology, terminology and clinical manifestations. Classifications: Inflammatory; Precementum or Predentin become mineralized, could be internal or external. Either transient or progressive and it requires an intervention to stop it. Replacement; seen it teeth that have become ankylosed and incorporated into the bone. Transient; Occurs as a result of trauma, ortho, perio tx, self limiting to 2-3 weeks. Not clinically significant. Progressive inflammatory; due to continued stimulation to resorbing cells such as mechanical, pressure, infection or systemic diseases. Internal resorption; takes place w/i RCS after loss of predentin and odontoblast layer. uncommon in permanent teeth. external resorption; can be progressive, vertical or replacement.

Taxonomy, ecology and pathogenicity of the root canal flora. The bacterial synergy is an important factor in determining the pathogenicity of the polymicrobial root canal floral Most common bacteria; Peptostreptococci (micros and anaerobicus ) · Gram pos, anaerobic, non spore forming. Most frequently isolated species from intact canals; Fusobacterium nucleatum Most common in treatment failure; A. israelii due to its ability to establish infections in the periapical tissues.
Sundqvist, 1992, JOE
Ecology of the root canal flora. The factors may influence the ecology of the root canal bacteria composition 1. Number of bacteria species is in proportion to the apical lesion size. 2. The root canal environment is dynamic and selective. (e.g. the relative proportion of anaerobic bacterial strains increased with time) 3. Bacterial interrelationships: both positive and negative influences (e.g. F. nucleatum is positively related to P. micros, W. recta, P. endodontalis, and S. sputigena) (e.g. A. israelii is positively related to P. propionicus,) 4. Nutrition supply: different phase of infection provides different kind of nutrition to bacteria First: Glucose/F. Nucleatum Second: Glycoproteins/B. Intermedius Third: Amino acid and peptide/P. Micros 5. Bacteriocins: Some species produce bacteriocins (protein) and inhibit other species (e.g. P. endodontalis inhibits the growth of B. intermedius) 6. Endodontic treatment
