The present invention provides a method of treating a condition affecting a tooth or periodontium in a subject, comprising administering to the subject's tooth or periodontium a composition comprising biocompatible magnetic, magnetizable, or magnetically responsive agents; and applying an external magnetic field, wherein the magnetic, magnetizable, or magnetically responsive agents migrate to a desired location in response to the externally applied magnetic field, thereby treating a condition affecting the tooth or periodontium in the subject.

A curable and radiopaque substance, a material that can be produced from same via polymerisation, a method for producing the curable substance and the cured material, and the use of the curable substance or the cured material are disclosed. The curable substance or the cured material can be used in, inter alia, orthopaedics as so-called bone cement, in particular as a tooth filling material, dental cement, dental lining material, flowable composite material (flow material) etc., as well as in diagnostic radiology. The invention also relates to the use of the curable substance generally as a construction material in an additive manufacturing process using a digital data model.

A light source for emitting light, a light conduit in electromagnetic communication with the light source for communicating light from the light source to the area of interest in three dimensions, and a controller combined to the light source for controlling the intensity of the light emitted to the area of interest.

A system for injection of endodontic cement into the radicular canal system comprising a closed-end cannula and at least one side orifice. Also disclosed are a system comprising a sleeve to be positioned between the cannula and the tooth, for injection of intra-radicular material, obliterating the aperture of the dental canal, a system comprising a moldable tip for a closed-end intra-radicular material injection cannula, and the use of the injection systems for the injection of endodontic cement.

An instrument handle is provided. The instrument handle includes an elongated structure extending between a first end and a second end, the first end extending to a functional head component or is configured to couple to a removable functional head component, and the elongated structure is interrupted by a holding assembly having a through-hole configured to receive a solid object. The holding assembly can have one or more connectors configured to securably retain the solid object therein. A dental mirror including the instrument handle is also provided.

The invention relates to methods for treating a bacterial infection in a root canal space of a tooth using topical application of tigecycline. The invention further relates to methods for reducing the risk of developing an infection in a root canal space of a tooth using topical application of tigecycline.
