Pulpal diseases : a correlation of clinical and histological data from human teeth
(Boston University, 1978)The purpose of this investigation was to examine human teeth with varying degrees of pulpal disease to determine if a correlation exists between the interpretation of clinical findings and the general histopathological ... -
An in vitro and in vivo study on the relationship of temperature and sodium hypochlorite
(Boston University, 1988)Sodium hypochlorite is the most widely used irrigant in endodontics. Its ability to dissolve pulp remnants and debris is just one of its important properties that facilitates cleaning and shaping of root canal systems. ... -
Quantification and characterization of collagen at various ages from rabbit and human dental pulp tissue
(Boston University, 1979)Collagen from the human and rabbit dental pulp tissue was studied as a function of age. The two parameters looked at were solubility and the amount of collagen present as compared to total protein. Negligible amounts of ... -
Effects of mineral trioxide aggregate on the osteogenesis of normal human osteoblasts
(Boston University, 2003)A novel material, Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been used in endodontics for sealing the roots of teeth and has been reported to produce biological response. Many studies have been done on biocompatibility and ... -
Build-up of endodontically treated teeth with bonded new ceramic systems
(Boston University, 1998)This in vitro study evaluated the fracture resistance and light transmitting properties between maxillary incisors that had been restored with different post systems in combination with bonded full ceramic crowns and ... -
Microleakage measurement of different retrofilling materials using a new in vitro method
(Boston University, 1993)A quantitative, non destructive in vitro investigation was conducted to study the relative sealing ability of amalgam and SuperEBA when used as retrofillings. Human anterior teeth were cleaned and shaped following the B.U. ... -
Friction reduction in beta titanium arch wires by structural changes through heat treatment
(Boston University, 2012)The goal of this study was to reduce the friction in beta titanium arch wires through heat treatment to precipitate omega phase, which would increase the hardness of the alloy. The result of increased hardness is reduced ... -
A comparison of the sealing ability and biocompatibility of retrograde filling materials
(Boston University, 1983)The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the apical seal obtained by retrograde obturation of the rootcanal system with zinc amalgam, zinc-free amalgam, Cavitand Stailine Super EBA Cement. The present ... -
A comparison of root canal preparation with hand instrumentation and the dynatrak system
(Boston University, 1982)The purpose of this study is to investigate the thoroughness and efficacy of root canal preparation using a newly marketed engine powered system. Hand manipulation with serial reaming and filing and Gates Glidden drills ... -
The effects of post preparation on the apical seal of teeth treated with non surgical endodontics
(Boston University, 1981)The main objective of this study was to investigate the possibility of breaking the apical seal via post space preparation. The areas of investigation included: the amount of filling material left after post preparation, ...
