Dental abscess

This study looked at how well a special dental material (calcium silicate sealer) works when re-treating root canals that have failed. 136 adults aged 18-65 with infected teeth were included. The main goal was to see if the infection healed on 3D X-rays and if symptoms like pain …

This study tested a Turkish version of the Johns Hopkins In-Room Independence Scale, which measures a patient's ability to move, use the toilet, and think clearly while in their hospital room. Researchers worked with 100 adults who had conditions like stroke, Parkinson's, or ampu…

This pilot study looked at bacteria in root canal infections, comparing painful and painless cases. Researchers used DNA testing to identify bacteria before and after cleaning with two different strengths of sodium hypochlorite. The goal was to see how well the cleaning removes b…

This study looked at how the types of bacteria in an infected root canal change during routine dental treatment. Twenty-four adults with a chronic tooth abscess received standard root canal therapy using one of two bleach solutions (5.25% or 3% sodium hypochlorite) followed by a …

This small study tested two methods for cleaning infected root canals: ultrasonic activation and a 980-nm diode laser. Sixteen adults with dead (necrotic) teeth had their root canals cleaned with one of these methods. Researchers checked for leftover bacterial DNA to see which me…

This study tested whether specially trained physiotherapists can safely diagnose and treat non-urgent muscle and joint pain in the emergency room, compared to standard care from doctors. 102 patients with back, neck, or shoulder pain were randomly assigned to either a physiothera…

This completed study compared how well people with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), people with other muscle or bone pain, and healthy individuals can imagine movements. Researchers used a questionnaire called the MIQ-RS to measure motor imagery skills. The goal was to see …
