Research – Endodontics & Conservative Dentistry

Numerous studies & projects have been undertaken by the dept like sensitivity of endodontic pathogens to commonly prescribed antibiotics, the comparison of various root canal cleaning techniques in collaboration with the dept of Microbiology.

The following research projects have been successfully completed

• Detection of residual obturation material after root canal treatment with three different techniques using dental operating microscope& CBCT : an in vitro study.
• Comparative evaluation of shaping ability of two continuous rotation and one reciprocationg single file system in curved root canals using CBCT: an in vitro study.
• Evaluation of apical seal in root canals prepared by single file reciprocating system and obturated by three different techniques and two different sealers: an in vitro stereomicroscopic study.
• Evaluation of apical seal in root canals prepared by single file reciprocating system and obturated by three different techniques and two different sealers: an in vitro stereomicroscopic study.
• To evaluate the prevalence of multirooted mandibular first and second molar in local population of Faridabad.

LIST OF ONGOING PROJECTS

• A stereomicroscopic evaluation of coronal and apical microleakage of a new calcium silicate root canal sealer versus a MTA based sealer and epoxy resin sealer after treating with two different irrigants.
• Evaluation of root canal morphology of mandibular premolars with radicular grooves using CBCT and dental operating microscope in a section of Indian population.
• Comparitive evaluation of marginal integrity and fracture resistance of sonic filled class II preparations with two conventional techniques.
