Outcomes of Pulpotomy and Root Canal Treatment in Teeth With Symptomatic Irreversible Pulpitis

The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of total pulpotomy (TP), radicular pulpotomy (RP), and root canal treatment (RCT) in mandibular premolar and/or molar teeth diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis, with respect to postoperative pain control and treatment success.Materials and Methods:A total of 99 mandibular premolar and molar teeth will be included in this study. The teeth will be randomly allocated into three groups (n = 33 per group): total pulpotomy, radicular pulpotomy, and root canal treatment.Root canal treatment will be performed using standardized endodontic protocols.Total pulpotomy will be carried out to the level of the canal orifices, followed by hemostasis achieved with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). A 3-mm-thick layer of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) will be placed as the pulpotomy material.Radicular pulpotomy will be performed by removing the pulp tissue a few millimeters apical to the canal orifices. Hemostasis will be achieved using 2.5% NaOCl, and a 3-mm-thick layer of MTA will be placed as the pulpotomy agent.All treated teeth will be restored with glass ionomer cement, followed by a composite resin restoration.Postoperative pain intensity will be assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS) at the following time points: preoperatively, and at 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, and 7 days postoperatively. Clinical and radiographic evaluations will be performed at 3, 6, and 12 months to assess treatment success and periapical health.

A Clinical Trial of Two Types of Aesthetics Crowns for Primary Molars

Currently, prefabricated zirconia crowns have been used as an aesthetic restorative material for primary teeth for a few years. Another recently introduced esthetic crown is the Bioflx™ crown. It is made of a resin polymer and claimed to have high strength , flexibility and durability. The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the clinical and radiographic success of zirconia crowns to that of Bioflx™ crowns in carious primary molars.

Success, Academic Self-efficacy; ARCS Model

Cassels and Redman have offered some suggestions such as teaching students basic ethical principles and theories, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) Code of Ethics, and the rights and laws of nurses in all kinds of ethical issues they may encounter in practice in order to increase their ethical decision-making skills. When the academic literature is examined, it is seen that ethics education has positive effects on the development of nursing students. Ethics education in nursing from a multi-dimensional perspective is very important in determining the quality of education and restructuring education. According to Bandura, self-efficacy is based on our belief in our abilities and is necessary to organize and demonstrate a behavior necessary to achieve our goals. In today's world where the quality and structure of education are seriously discussed, the importance of these evaluations in terms of university education is rapidly increasing. When researching the increase in quality in education, it is important to consider the individual's perspective on his/her own abilities as well as social abilities and to accept this as an important element of the individual's ability to act. Self-efficacy, which is one of the concepts that comes to the fore when the individual's self-predictions and evaluations are expressed, should also be addressed in relation to university education.
