Chlorhexidine gluconate is an effective bactericidal agent and broad-spectrum antimicrobial drug. It has been extensively researched and is the “gold standard” antimicrobial in oral hygiene. Chlorhexidine is useful in many clinical disciplines including periodontics, endodontics, oral surgery and operative dentistry.

Several types of intraoral radiographs can be taken. An understanding of both the paralleling and bisecting techniques and when to use these is necessary. Avoiding common errors when taking intraoral radiographs reduces the need for retakes. Minimizing radiation exposure for patients and the operator is an essential component of intraoral radiography.

Endodontic therapy is performed frequently in the United States. Successful therapy relies upon several key factors, including straight-line access and the identification, shaping and debridement and obturation of all canals. Without achievement of all of these, endodontic therapy is compromised. Treatment is more efficient if each instrument helps prepare the canal for the next instrument in the treatment sequence. Use of an instrument system using a specific step-by-step sequence of instruments enables this.

Bonding materials and techniques have completely changed the way dentistry is practiced. Since their introduction, techniques have evolved such that it is now possible to bond materials to dentin, and hydrophobic resins have been replaced by hydrophilic resins. In recent years several methacrylate resin-based root canal sealers (MBRSs) have been introduced as an alternative to conventional gutta-percha and zinc oxide-eugenol-based techniques. Efforts to introduce a simplified obturation technique based on dentin bonding principles coupled with favorable physical properties have contributed to an increase in interest in using this approach. It is the intent of the authors to critically review the published literature and to arrive at an opinion as to the current status and future of methacrylate based resin sealers. This will be followed by presentations of cases in which methacrylate based resin sealers were used.
