Zantac (ranitidine) belongs to a group of drugs called histamine-2 blockers. Zantac works by reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces.

Zantac is used to treat and prevent ulcers in the stomach and intestines. It also treats conditions in which the stomach produces too much acid, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Zantac also treats gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other conditions in which acid backs up from the stomach into the esophagus, causing heartburn.

Fixing Root Canals That Fail

Dental News

It's a fact that some root canals just don't take. But now a new study done at Columbia University compared several ways to treat a root-canals-gone-bad and found that the most cost-effective way was to surgically repair the tooth.

The study appears in the March issue of the Journal of Endodontics and found that the least cost-effective treatment for failed root canals was removing the tooth and placing an implant in the bone. Although success rate in this option was quite high, it was also the most expensive.

Surgically repairing a root canal (called a apicoectomy) is a procedure performed by either an endodontist or oral surgeon and involves cutting into the gum to access the root tip of the affected tooth. The root tip and any infected tissue are then removes and the end of the root canal is cleaned and sealed.
