Introduction: As part of a thesis of 2nd cycle of the Department of Conservative Dentistry-Endodontics, we have conducted a survey of dentists around the private sector in Casablanca. Descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out to:
• Know how these dentists have got informed about this product;
• Determine the number of dentists who use Pulpotec®;
• Determine if the practitioners understand the principles of this therapy with its advantages and drawbacks.
Material and Method: A questionnaire of 15 questions was sent to 300 practitioners randomly selected from a list provided by the National Order Council of the Dentists (NOCD).
Results: The results show that 45,3% of these dentists use Pulpotec® in their dental practices, which prompted us to ask about their reasons and arguments on its use in daily practice.
The analysis of the results show with that the majority of those dentists were informed of Pulpotec® through their colleagues and the product is provided by most of suppliers of dental equipment.
According to some practitioners, the results showed that Pulpotec® presents some drawbacks and generates complications.
The results of this study have showed that the perception of the majority of private practitioners in Casablanca on the use of Pulpotec® in their daily treatments is not generally consistent with any current scientific evidence.
Discussion: No similar study has been conducted on the use of Pulpotec® in the private sector. Our study is the first of its kind, making it impossible to compare our results with other cities or countries. The results of this study showed that almost half of dentists45, 3% use pulpotec® without ensuring proper follow-up for the patient. This product is used on temporal, permanent, mature and immature teeth. 67.6% of practitioners consider it as a definitive treatment. In addition, the perception of the majority of private practitioners in Casablanca about the use of Pulpotec® in their daily treatments is generally not consistent with current science data.
Conclusions: The use of pulpotec® must be limited to the temporary treatment of an irreversible pulpitis on a permanent tooth, because of the various complications caused by this product and the insufficiency of the scientific proofs on its efficiency.

Introduction: Axiography allows the three-dimensional study of condylar movements in the perspective of a diagnosis of cranio- mandibular dysfunctions and a real adjustment of the articulator. Can we do without an MRI magnetic resonance imaging examina- tion and rely solely on axiographic plots in the diagnosis of CMD and can we systematize an axiographic mapping?
Material and Method: This is a descriptive clinical study through which we treated 20 partial dentated and edentulous patients with signs and symptoms of Tmj disorders, the age group is 31 years old to which we have made axiographic plots, these have been superimposed with those of DUPAS in order to try to contribute to the systematization of an axiographic cartography.
Result and Discussion: The graphic recordings differ from one patient to another, the experience of the practitioner remains a major asset for the interpreters and consequently to make the positive diagnosis of the articular pathology.
The value of the condylar slope was between 38° and 70°, the angle of Bennett is calculated according to the Hanau formula. We also noticed that the return movements do not necessarily end at the point of reference (arbitrary hinge axis).
Conclusions: Despite the absence of an axiographic mapping of condylar trajectories and pending further studies, axiography is of very significant diagnostic importance, indeed as and when it is used, the practitioner will master its rational use.
