    Radiologic Assessment of Periapical Health: Comparison of 3 Different Index Systems
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2015) GÜMRÜ TARÇIN, BİRSAY; Tarcin, Bilge; Gumru, Birsay; Iriboz, Emre; Turkaydin, Dilek Erbay; Ovecoglu, Hesna Sazak
    Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate observer variations and observer reproducibility in the interpretation of periapical health using the Strindberg system, the periapical index (PAI), and the probability index for radiologic assessment of periapical health. Methods: Four observers read digital periapical images to evaluate the periapical health of 200 root-filled teeth. Each observer evaluated a tooth twice by using the Strindberg system, twice by using the PAI, and twice by using the probability index. Each observation session was held at 1-month intervals. Three scores were used for the evaluations conducted by using the Strindberg system. Both the PAI and the probability index were considered on 5-point scales and were also dichotomized. SPSS for Windows 15.0 software (SPSS InC, Chicago, IL) was used for data analysis, and intra- and interobserver agreements were described by using kappa statistics. Results: The average kappa values of intra- and interobserver agreement calculated for the Strindberg system were 0.53 and 0.36, respectively. The corresponding average kappa values were calculated as 0.48 and 0.39 for the PAI and 0.45 and 0.30 for the probability index. The highest mean proportion values of intra- and interobserver agreement were observed for the dichotomization of the PAI (88.9% and 87.0%, respectively) followed by the dichotomization of the probability index (86.8% and 82.9%, respectively). Conclusions: The Strindberg system has lower intraobserver variation compared with the PAI and the probability index, whereas PAI has lower interobserver variation compared with the Strindberg system and the probability index. The dichotomization of the PAI and the probability index provided higher intra- and interobserver agreement values in the radiologic assessment of periapical health.

    Treatment of maxillary central incisors with internal resorption: Two case reports
    (2019-04-01) TÜRKAYDIN, DİLEK; İRİBOZ, EMRE; SAZAK ÖVEÇOĞLU, HESNA; Karakaya G., Can G., Türkaydın D., İriboz E., Sazak Öveçoğlu H.
    Internal root resorption is a rare condition, but it may require complex treatment protocols, depending on the progression. The aim of this case report is to present the treatment protocol and the follow-up results for 2 cases of a right upper central incisor with internal root resorption. A 15-year-old female patient presented with the chief complaint of dental caries. The radiological examination revealed that tooth #21 had internal resorption (IR) in the middle third of the root. The warm vertical condensation technique was applied using a warm obturation system. At 3 years, the tooth was asymptomatic and no lesions were observed. A 48-year-old female patient was referred to the clinic for a routine control. The radiological examination revealed IR in the middle third of tooth #21. As the resorption area was quite wide, cone beam computed tomography was used. The results indicated that there was also external resorption in the buccal part of the root. Therefore, the treatment protocol was changed and the IR area was sealed with mineral trioxide aggregate. At 1 year, the tooth was asymptomatic and no lesions were observed. Keywords: Cone beam computed tomography; internal root resorption; mineral trioxide aggregate; root perforation; trauma.

    Efficacy of XP-Endo Finisher in the Removal of Triple Antibiotic Paste from Immature Root Canals
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2017) TÜRKAYDIN, DİLEK; Turkaydin, Dilek; Denzil, Erhan; Basturk, Fatima Betul; Ovecoglu, Hesna Sazak
    Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of the XP-Endo Finisher (FKG Dentaire, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland) with passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) and needle irrigation in the removal of triple antibiotic paste (TAP) from the straight immature root canals of extracted teeth. Methods: Thirty-four freshly extracted single-rooted teeth were used. All canals were prepared up to the ProTaper F5 file (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland). Apices were drilled to simulate teeth with immature apices. The canals were filled with TAP, sealed, and incubated at 37 degrees C and 100% humidity for 1 month. Samples were randomly assigned to 3 experimental groups according to the method used for TAP removal: XP-Endo Finisher, PUI, and needle irrigation (n = 10). Then, the roots were split into 2 halves. The amount of TAP residue in the apical portion of each segment was evaluated using a scanning electron microscopy and scored. Results: The amount of remaining TAP was significantly lower in the XP-Endo Finisher group compared with the needle irrigation and PUI groups (P < .05). Between the needle irrigation and PUI groups, there were no statistically significant differences (P> .05). Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, the XP-Endo Finisher removed significantly more TAP than needle irrigation and PUI.
