Öğe Can ultrasonography be used to detect root perforation? An in vitro study(Wiley, 2025) Sarıyılmaz, Öznur; Eren, İrem; Sarıyılmaz, Evren; Eren, Hakan; Uslu, GülşahThis study assessed the usability of ultrasonography in detecting root canal perforations. The buccal side of incisor root were perforated. The actual lengths up to the perforation site were measured by visualisation of the tip of a file. Specimens were embedded in gypsum, and it was scraped to simulate bone resorption. Resorption cavities were filled with ultrasound gel. Measurements were taken by advancing a file through the canal until the tip became visible in the ultrasound image. 3D scans were obtained using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and the distance between the coronal point of the resorption cavity and the reference point was measured. The actual distance of the resorption cavity from the reference point varied 6-10.6 mm. The same distances were measured via ultrasound as 5.7-10.9 mm, while measured using CBCT 6-10.5 mm. No significant differences were found. Ultrasonography shows promise for detecting root perforations, however further research is needed.Öğe Postoperative pain after different irrigation activation techniques: a randomized, clinical trial(Springer Japan, 2021) Gündoğar, Mustafa; Sezgin, Güzide Pelin; Kaplan, Sema Sönmez; Özyürek, Hande; Uslu, GülşahThe aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of irrigation activation techniques on postoperative pain (PP) in mandibular premolar teeth with irreversible pulpitis after single-visit endodontic treatment. A total of 160 patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis were included in this prospective randomized clinical study. Four different activation methods were used in mandibular premolar teeth. In group 1, teeth were irrigated with side-port endodontic needles (NI) without any agitation; in groups 2 and 3, sonic activation was performed using EDDY and EndoActivator (EA), respectively; and in group 4, passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) was used. Patients’ analgesic intake—as well as pain intensity during and after treatment—were recorded at 8, 24, 48 h and 7 days. The data relating to age, sex and analgesic intake was evaluated using the Chi-square test and the preoperative pain and PP intensity at different time intervals was evaluated with the Kruskal–Wallis test at a 5% significance level. Highest PP was recorded at 8 h, pain intensity decreased in all groups by the time. Pain in the NI group was found higher than that of EDDY group at 24 h (P < 0.05). EA and PUI had caused mild pain and had similar pain scores at 24 h. (P > 0.05). No statistically difference was found among the groups with regard to analgesic intake (P > 0.05). Although there were slight differences in PP levels between the groups at 24 h, pain levels decreased in all groups after 24 h. Activation of the irrigation solution did not make any difference in terms of PP after 24 h.Öğe The Impact of Coronal Flaring Files on Pericervical Dentin Thickness in Mandibular Molars(American Association of Endodontists, 2024) Sarıyılmaz, Öznur; Sessiz, Rüya; Kocaman, Osman SefaIntroduction: This study aimed to assess the influence of different coronal flaring files on dentin removal in mandibular teeth using cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) images. Methods: CBCT images of 48 mandibular molar teeth were acquired and randomly divided into 2 main groups, with each main group further divided into 3 subgroups. In the first main group, root canal preparation was performed using TruNatomy (Dentsply Sirona, Ballaigues, Switzerland), ProTaper Gold (Dentsply Sirona), and One Curve (Micro-Mega, Besancon, France) files without the use of coronal flaring files. In the second main group, root canal preparation was performed using the same files with the use of coronal flaring files. After the completion of root canal preparation, a second set of CBCT images was obtained. Subsequently, the dentin removal and remaining critical dentin were assessed by measuring at 4 distinct points below the furcation level. Data were compared between groups using the Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests with alpha set at 5%. Results: The ProTaper Gold files demonstrated higher dentin removal compared with the TruNatomy files. In the no-flaring groups, the One Curve files exhibited greater dentin removal than the TruNatomy files at specific levels. The use of coronal flaring files generally did not significantly impact dentin removal, except for certain cases in the TruNatomy and ProTaper Gold groups. Conclusions: The TruNatomy instrument group was more effective in preserving pericervical dentin compared with the other instrument groups. Coronal flaring files can be confidently used to preserve critical dentin during root canal treatment.
