INTRODUCTION: Regenerative Endodontics is one of the most fascinating development in modern dentistry. Since Endodontists are the first providers of this type of dental treatment, it is essential to learn their knowledge, attitude and practice of these procedures. Aim: This online questionnaire-based study was conducted amongst Endodontists practicing in Nepal with the aim to learn their knowledge, attitude and practice of regenerative endodontic procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among Endodontists in Nepal. In total 65 Endodontists participated in this study. The questionnaire was distributed to the participants using the available electronic measures. Descriptive statistical analyses were performed on the responses given by Endodontists using SPSS Statistical Software package (version 21.0). RESULTS: A total of 20 questions were included in this study. Out of the responses analyzed, 100% (n=65) had come across the term regenerative endodontics. Respondents had good knowledge about the sources of dental stem cells (87.3%, n=55). A high percentage (98.4%, n=62) of respondents strongly recommended regenerative therapy to be incorporated into dentistry. Among the participants of this study, 87.1% (n=54) had a belief that regenerative endodontic treatment could serve as the alternative treatment option to dental implant. CONCLUSIONS: The Endodontists practicing in Nepal had sound knowledge about regenerative endodontic procedures. They were enthusiastic in practicing regenerative endodontics and interested in stem cell therapy. It’s a high time to uplift the regenerative endodontic procedure from simple revascularization via blood clotting to more advanced procedure.

Endodontic guides (synonyms: endoguides, endodontic templates, 3-dimensional endoguides) guarantee two things: minimal invasiveness of the procedure and high level accuracy. That is why two editors, Niraj Kinariwala and Lakshman Samaranayake, united another 18 contributors from totally 6 countries (Austria, Brazil, China, Denmark, Hungary, and India) bringing to the world Guided Endodontics. The textbook consists of 10 Chapters; all of them are dedicated to planning, manufacturing and application of all types of endodontic guides: (1) types depended upon their use in endodontic treatment (non-surgical and surgical guides), (2) types depended upon their support, and (3) types from classification of surgical endodontic templates. Perfect illustrations: computed tomography (CT), micro-CT data, virtual surgical planning, digital workflow, intraoperative images, and control X-rays immerse the reader in the smallest details of the guided treatment. Chapter 8, “Static Guided Approach in Surgical Endodontics” perfectly describes guided microscopic root-end resection using stereolithographic manufacturing what is extremely useful in modern practice. In summary, this textbook is a phenomenal chance for every endodontists to absorb all we need to know about state of the art principles and techniques of guided endodontics. I can honestly say that with profound knowledge and appropriate implementation of these techniques any practice limited to endodontics will reach the highest level of modern endodontic specialty.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe clinical dentistry and endodontic procedures involve very technique-sensitive procedures, therefore exposing the operator to risks of causes not only damage to patients but also leads to malpractice. Among various disciplines of dentistry, endodontics-related cases witness the most frequently filed malpractice claims. This is due to the fact that the endodontic treatment procedures involve operative and surgical procedures, using a variety of medicaments and techniques. The endodontic procedural errors can be preoperative errors (such as incorrect diagnosis and misinterpretation), intraoperative errors including root canal and pulp chamber perforations, ledge formation leading to apical transportation or zipping, hypochlorite accidents, and fracture of instruments. More critically, failure to use rubber dam may result in inhalation or ingestion of endodontic instruments. Under such circumstances, the endodontist may have to face legal consequences. Due to the increased healthcare load and patients’ awareness, it is important to know the legal ramifications of adverse effects, failed restorations, or other complications, to avoid any legal ramifications of endodontic procedures and associated techniques. Therefore, precautions must be taken to prevent any postsurgical complications, patient complaints, and/or failures. For this purpose, the operator must consider ethical principles and adhere strictly to the standards of healthcare while performing the diagnosis and treatment. A referral toward a specialist or consultant endodontist is always an appreciable option and should be considered in the best interest of the patient. The aim of the article is to highlight various aspects of malpractice in clinical endodontics, and associated materials and challenges. In addition, commonly occurring operating errors during endodontic treatment, possible consequences, precautions, and management have been discussed.

Abstract The aim of this review is to discuss the digital planning and the use of guided technology in Endodontics. The complexity of the root canals anatomy and the challenges in the microorganism’s control represent risk factors for failure after the infected root canal’s treatment. Scientific improvements associated with technological advances have enabled better predictability of therapeutic procedures results. The development of efficient and modern devices provided safer root canal treatments, with shorter clinical visits and greater patient comfort. Digital endodontics incorporated different tools and developed its own, advancing even further in resolving complex cases. The faithful copy of the internal anatomy provided by the advancement of CBCT devices and software’s, associated with the digital resources of 3D planning and printing, enabled the advent of guided endodontics. This technique is used at different stages of endodontic treatment, with specific indications and greater result predictability. Therefore, this study critically reviewed the potential clinical application of this guided access technique, and the operative steps for its safe performance in managing complex endodontic cases. The main indications are accessing calcified root canals, performing endodontic surgeries in difficult access areas, removing fiberglass posts, and accessing teeth with developmental anomalies. In summary, guided endodontics has been a precise strategy, effective, safe, and clinically applicable. This procedure represents incorporating technological resources and digital planning in the Endodontist clinical practice, increasing predictability to complex cases.

Background and objectives: Endodontic surgery has evolved over the last two decades. The use of state-of-the-art guided endodontic surgical procedures produces a predictable outcome in the healing of lesions of endodontic origin. The main objective of this review paper is to define and characterize guided surgical endodontics as well as its benefits and drawbacks by reviewing the most recent relevant scientific literature. Methods: A literature search was conducted using multiple databases comprising of MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE, and Web of Science. The terms used for the search were ‘guided endodontics’, ‘surgical endodontics’, and ‘endodontic microsurgery’. Results: In total, 1152 articles were obtained from the analysis of the databases. Unrelated articles from the available full text of 388 articles were excluded. A total of 45 studies were finally included in the review. Conclusions: Surgical-guided endodontics is a relatively new area of study that is still maturing. It has many applications such as root canal access and localization, microsurgical endodontics, endodontic retreatment, and glass fiber post removal. Additionally, it does not matter how experienced the operator is; the procedure can be completed for the patient in less time and provides greater accuracy and safety than conventional endodontics.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Conservative endodontics advocates sparingly altering standard procedures in order to preserve tooth structure if possible. Every bit of structure that is saved is a benefit, according to conservative endodontics. As a result, conservative endodontics may be performed by both endodontists and general dentists. Aim and Objective: The comprehensive evaluation of conventional radiology employed in endodontic conservative therapy has as its primary goal the endodontic conservative therapy. Methodology: The electronic databases that underwent rigorous individual searches were Embase, Google Scholar, LILACS and MEDLINE using the Ebsco search engine, PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Web of Science. Results: Conventional radiography (CR) is without a doubt the most widely used imaging method for evaluating root canals due to its availability, affordability, and convenience. Digital Radiography (DR) has gained popularity as a replacement for CR because it offers better image quality and enables the dentist to do radiographic exams with less radiation exposure. Conclusion: For root canal treatment, radiographic diagnostic value is essential. Additionally, this technique is utilized to find procedural errors, resorptive defects, and fractures. Radiographic examinations are important because they provide details on how difficult the therapy is.

Specialisation in endodontics allows for endodontic referrals by general dental practitioner (GDPs) and the study of factors influencing referral. These centre on a triad consisting of the referral process, non-clinical and clinical reasons for referral. Many non-clinical factors have been identified which may influence the referral process to the endodontist. A systematic review study was undertaken into the main non-clinical factors influencing endodontic referral by general dental practitioners to endodontists. Such awareness and appreciation of these factors benefits the commercial aspect of the referral practice, increases access by reducing barriers to care, and ultimately improves patient care. A literature search yielded three papers that met the eligibility criteria. All studies included were cross sectional survey studies completed by GDPs. The main non-clinical factors seen from the studies include: • Availability. • Personality, relationships and communication. • Location. Availability presented as a common thread throughout all the studies. In conclusion, endodontic referral is multifactorial and influenced by several factors, that are not related to the nature of the endodontic disease, and this is a dynamic process. Due to the lack of high level studies, and limitations of the available studies, further research is suggested into relevant area of non-clinical endodontic factors for endodontic referral and thus allowing for further analysis.

Full textAbstract:
Regenerative endodontics has been defined as biologically based procedures designed to replace damaged structures, including dentin and root structures, as well as cells of the pulp-dentin complex. Presently, two concepts exist in regenerative endodontics to treat non-vital infected teeth - one is the active pursuit of pulp-dentine regeneration to implant or regrow pulp (tissue engineering technology), and the other in which new living tissue is expected to form from the tissue present in the teeth itself, allowing continued root development(revascularisation). Regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) have evolved in the past decade, being incorporated into endodontic practice and becoming a viable treatment alternative for immature teeth. The authors have summarized the status of regenerative endodontics on the basis of the available published studies and provide insight into the different levels of clinical outcomes expected from these procedures.

Full textAbstract:
Bioceramics, with excellent bioactivity and biocompatibility, have been widely used in dentistry, particularly in endodontics. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is the most widely used bioceramic in endodontics. Recently, many new bioceramics have been developed, showing good potential for the treatment of endodontic diseases. This paper reviews the characteristics of bioceramics and their applications in various clinical endodontic situations, including root-end filling, root canal therapy, vital pulp therapy, apexification/regenerative endodontic treatment, perforation repair, and root defect repair. Relevant literature published from 1993 to 2023 was searched by keywords in PubMed and Web of Science. Current evidence supports the predictable outcome of MTA in the treatment of endodontic diseases. Although novel bioceramics such as Biodentine, EndoSequence, and calcium-enriched mixtures have shown promising clinical outcomes, more well-controlled clinical trials are still needed to provide high-level evidence for their application in endodontics. In addition, to better tackle the clinical challenges in endodontics, efforts are needed to improve the bioactivity of bioceramics, particularly to enhance their antimicrobial activity and mechanical properties and reduce their setting time and solubility.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the perceptions of Municipal Oral Health Coordinators (MOHCs) of endodontic services in Dental Specialty Centers (DSCs) of Minas Gerais, Brazil. A questionnaire was sent to the MOHCs of municipalities that had DSCs. Endodontic productivity data were collected from the Health System database. Descriptive analysis and Spearman’s correlation were performed (p≤0.05). Most cities had one DSC operating (92.4%) with two endodontists (30.3%). Endodontic treatments (ETs) were performed exclusively in a DSC (87.9%). There were referral protocols for primary to secondary care in endodontics in 87.9%. Most of the DSCs had a target (84.8%); 60.6% followed the targets recommended by the Brazilian Ministry of Health (MofH), but 53.0% complied with the goal in less than 25% of the months. Technological auxiliary resources for endodontics were not present in 42.0% of the DSCs. Positive correlation was found between the number of dentists who performed ETs in DSCs with fulfillment of monthly targets (p=0.029), and a negative correlation between the availability of technological resources for the fulfillment of monthly targets (p=0.012). Some MOHCs were unaware of the principles of the MofH, suggesting that management measures and targets should be reevaluated.

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) has been growing in endodontics due to the excellent potential for in vivo root canal decontamination. This literature review aims to discuss the effectiveness of PDT in assisting as an adjuvant to endodontic treatment and the different clinical applications and their results. Thorough research was performed between March and May 2020, using the “Terapia fotodinâmica” and “Endodontia” descriptors indexed in the Descriptors in Health Sciences (DeCs) and the “Photodynamic therapy” and “Endodontics” descriptors indexed in the Medical Subject Heading Terms (MeshTerms –MeSH). The databases searched were SciELO, Pubmed, and LILACS, for publications between 2013 and 2020. In this bibliographic survey, it was selected 28 articles for a full-text analysis and used as references. The bibliographic survey showed that PDT effectively assists the endodontic treatment, offers a high potential for eliminating bacteria such as Enterococcus faecalis, and is little invasive and risk-free for patients. It was concluded that PDT is clearly effective, but its clinical applicability is still subject to different protocols, which requires developing a protocol for common use.

ABSTRACT Background: In the field of endodontics, accurate diagnosis is pivotal for successful treatment outcomes. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) explores the potential of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) as a tool to enhance diagnostic accuracy in endodontic procedures Materials and Methods: An RCT was conducted with a sample of 120 patients presenting with endodontic issues. The patients were divided into two groups: Group A received traditional two-dimensional radiography, while group B underwent CBCT scans. The diagnostic accuracy was assessed by comparing the radiographic findings with the clinical evaluation by experienced endodontists. Results: The results indicated a significant improvement in diagnostic accuracy in the CBCT group (group B) with an arbitrary value of 88% accuracy, compared with the traditional radiography group (group A) with only 65% accuracy. The CBCT group showed a clearer visualization of root canal anatomy, periapical lesions, and the presence of additional canals, contributing to the enhanced diagnostic capability Conclusion: This RCT demonstrates that CBCT significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy in endodontics compared with traditional two-dimensional radiography. The improved visualization of root canal anatomy and periapical regions allows for more precise treatment planning, ultimately leading to better treatment outcomes.

Over the last few decades technological advancements have led to a significant impact over dentistry and the field of endodontics is no exception to it. It has covered a long way from apex locators and microscopes to digital radiography and intraoral scanners and finally navigation. “Guided Dentistry” term is used explicitly for navigation in dentistry. In the 19th century, navigation in the medical sciences first appeared and it was used to perform stereotactic surgery on the human brain. It was first used in dentistry in the year 2000 to facilitate the placement of dental implants. Navigation in endodontics is based on the concept of minimally invasive endodontics. Guided endodontics can also be called as “Targeted endodontic treatment”. Compared to standard treatment methods, guided endodontics can produce more predictable treatment results. Guided navigation in endodontics is of two types-Static and Dynamic. In Static Guided Endodontics (SGE) the CBCT scan is merged with optical scan to design a virtual drill path using a planning software following which a template is fabricated using 3-D printing. In Dynamic Navigation System (DNS), the virtual drill path is converted into a real time drill path using navigation software. Keywords: [Guided Endodontics, minimally invasive dentistry, Navigation, Static guided endodontics, Dynamic guided endodontics.]

Full textAbstract:
Diseases of the dental pulp often have an infectious origin, and treatments are aimed to control infections of the root canal system. Endodontic treatment principles originally evolved on the basis of trial and error, and only in recent decades have scientific methods been adopted to support clinical strategies. Yet, relevant research on the disease processes, their diagnoses, and efficient treatment are rare in the endodontic literature. Hence, the advancement of biologically based knowledge significant to clinical endodontics has been slow. Therefore, many differences of opinion still prevail in this field of dentistry. This review highlights and analyzes the background of some of the more heavily debated issues in recent years. Specifically, it deals with disagreements regarding the clinical management of pulpal exposures by caries in the adult dentition, definitions of success and failure of endodontic therapy, and causes of and measures to control infections of the root canal system. Clearly, a most apparent gap in the published endodontic literature is the lack of randomized clinical trials that address the more significant controversial matters relating to the management of pulpal wounds, medication, and the number of appointments required for the treatment of infected root canals. However, trials in endodontics require extremely long follow-up periods if valid conclusions are to be generated. Therefore, it is not to be expected that there will be rapid solutions to these issues in the foreseeable future.

Full textAbstract:
Regenerative endodontics has been defined as “biologically based procedure designed to replace damaged structures, including dentin and root structures, as well as cells of the pulp–dentin complex.” This is an exciting and rapidly evolving field of human endodontics for the treatment of immature permanent teeth with infected root canal systems. These procedures have shown to be able not only to resolve pain and apical periodontitis but continued root development, thus increasing the thickness and strength of the previously thin and fracture-prone roots. In the last decade, over 80 case reports, numerous animal studies, and series of regenerative endodontic cases have been published. However, even with multiple successful case reports, there are still some remaining questions regarding terminology, patient selection, and procedural details. Regenerative endodontics provides the hope of converting a nonvital tooth into vital one once again.

Full textAbstract:
Background and Objectives: There are no guidelines on the regenerative endodontic procedures that should be followed in dental treatment. Thus, it is essential to learn the knowledge, attitudes, and opinions about regenerative endodontics among dental practitioners, particularly endodontists, as they are the first providers of this type of dental treatment. Aim: This study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitudes among residents of the Saudi Board of Advanced Restorative Dentistry (SBARD) in Saudi Arabia. Methods & Materials: A questionnaire-based survey was conducted among 128 residents of endodontics, pedodontics, and the SBARD in Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire was distributed to participants using the available electronic measures such as emails and social media. The questionnaire was made by Google Forms, and responses were received directly in the excel sheet in the email. The data were exported as an excel file, coded, and analyzed, and the p-value < 0.05 was set as significant. Results: More than 50% (74 dentists) of the participants reported receiving continuing education in regenerative treatment, with a significant difference found among specialty (p = 0.023). No significant association was found between knowledge, gender, and type of postgraduate study. The vast majority (89.1%) of the participants believed regenerative endodontics should be incorporated into dentistry curricula. About two-thirds (78.2%) of the participants declared their ability to attend future training courses in a regenerative endodontic, whereas 10.9% did not, and 10.9% were unsure. Conclusions: The dental practitioners were enthusiastic and interested in regenerative and stem cell treatment. The results also suggested incorporating regenerative treatment into the dental curriculum and signaled the need for more continued training courses.

Microscope is used in medical field to run over the limitations of human vision. Over the years many magnification devices are invented to achieve the goal. Quote given by Prof Syngcuk Kim that states “You can only treat what you can see”. If the right tools are available many things can be visualized. They are endoscopes, intraoral camera, magnifying glass, surgical loupes, surgical microscope. Surgical loupes and Dental Operating Microscope are most convenient and practical to use in endodontics. By increasing the image size, fine details can be visualized. Hence to increase the image size, magnification is necessary. The invention of microscopes in modern endodontics helps in visually guided and sensory aided endodontic procedure. Magnification helps visualise finer details of the area to be treated. Dental microscope is used for diagnostic and clinical procedures (non-surgical ) as well as endodontic surgical procedures. The microscope as a diagnostic tool may be used in caries detection, fracture line and craze evaluation, crown margins or restorations that are deficient, in caries elimination, access preparation, calcifications removal. It is also helpful in orifice detection and treating internal resorptions. All procedure are performed under various magnification grades. They are flap surgery, cutting of bone, root apex identification, apicoectomy, removal of inflamed tissue, observe resected end of root, root end preparation, retrograde filling, and suturing, surgical correction of unsuccessful RCT. Also, Cervical resorption and External resorption and perforation repairs can be done using Microscope. The invention of microscopes in modern endodontics helps in visually guided and sensory aided endodontic procedure. Furthermore the role of microscopes in endodontics is reviewed.

Full textAbstract:
Bioceramics play a key role in endodontics, mostly in surgical endodontics and difficult cases of root canal treatment. Carbonate apatite (CO3Ap) is the natural composition of dental and bone. The endodontic sealer is used in the obturation phase of endodontic treatment, which requires sealing ability and bioactivity to promote osseous repair of teeth and alveolar bone. CO3Ap crystal formation is essential for endodontics sealer as a bioceramic sealer. This study aims to investigate the crystal characterization of CO3Ap through X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The bioceramics endodontic sealer comprises dicalcium phosphate anhydrous (DCPA), vaterite, and Ca(OH)2. The powder cement ratio divided into 60% DCPA : 30% vaterite: 10% Ca(OH)2. Powder cement was mixed with 0.2 mol/L Na2HPO4 added by 1% sodium carboxymethylcellulose and 32μg thymoquinone as an aqueous solution at the liquid to powder ratio of 0.6 and set at 37°C and 100% of relative humidity for 72h. XRD result showed that all precursor materials transformed into CO3Ap after 72h treatment. SEM image showed coral-like CO3Ap morphology that is characteristic of CO3Ap. The initial results of novel CO3Ap endodontic sealers show that crystal formation occurs and has potential to be used as an endodontic sealer.

Biosafety is of great importance in all areas of health care, including endodontic procedures, since they represent a high risk of biological transmission of diseases such as AIDS and hepatitis, among others. The aim of the study was to interpret biosafety in endodontics by means of a literature review using PRISMA 2020 methodology. It was an observational, retrospective and descriptive study corresponding to the exploratory level, following the guidelines of the PRISMA 2020 methodology, combining the terms 'biosafety' and 'endodontics' in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases. The results highlighted the importance of biosafety in endodontic procedures and it was found that endodontics is used to treat different types of endodontic infections with high bacterial loads, so the correct use of biosafety barriers and protocols is necessary, since the area of dentistry has a high risk of biological contagion. It was also shown that biosafety comprises a set of rules, precautions and guidelines used in various scientific research and teaching activities to prevent risks or infections associated with exposure to agents that may be infectious or present significant biological, chemical or physical risks. It was concluded that endodontics and its procedures require strict compliance with biosafety protocols to ensure a high success rate and safeguard the health of the professional, the patient and the work team

Full textAbstract:
Given the importance of risk management to avoid mishaps, to achieve a quality result and to ensure a favourable outcome, challenging endodontic cases are best treated by clinicians with the appropriate level of training and experience. Digital and technological innovations in endodontics have led to the development of web-based and smartphone-compatible case-difficulty assessment tools that can help less-experienced dentists identify endodontic management complexities. These interactive tools may also be used for other applications, including primary and secondary care triage, research and dental education. Similarly, advances such as artificial intelligence and mixed reality technologies, are predicted to also benefit endodontics and help support dentists in the management of complex endodontic cases. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Digital and technological developments may help improve the management and treatment of endodontic cases.

Newer scientific technological advancement in dentistry provides an array of projects such as molecular biology, cell culturing, tissue grafting, and tissue engineering. Conventional root canal treatment, apexification with biomaterials, and extractions are the procedures of choice to treat a nonvital tooth. These treatment options do not give predictable outcomes in the regeneration of the pulp tissue. This can be easily achieved by regenerative endodontics wherein the diseased or a nonvital tooth is replaced by a healthy and functional pulp-dentin complex. The rationale for regenerative endodontics follows tissue engineering techniques. This article reviews the shift in regenerative endodontic techniques.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the technical quality of endodontic access cavities performed by M1 and M2 students during the clinical teaching of endodontics. The study population consisted of patients who came for consultation in the clinic of the Conservative Odontology-Endodontics Department of the Institute of Odontology and Stomatology of Dakar. The inclusion criteria were for teeth for which endodontic treatment was indicated and an access cavity was performed for the first time and exclusively by a student as part of the clinical training in endodontics. A survey form was drawn up containing the following headings: contour shape, visibility of canal entrances, body shape, and accidents along the way (stop, perforations, or flattening of the pulp floor). The chi-squared test was used to compare quantitative and qualitative variables and the significance level was set at p<0.05.A total of 139 endodontic access cavities were made by students (56.8% by Master 2 (M2) students and 43.2% by Master 1 (M1) students). Of these, 35% of the access cavities made by M1 students were acceptable versus 44% acceptable for M2. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.05).It appears from this study that the rate of technically acceptable access cavities made by the students of the Institute of Odonto-Stomatology of Dakar was insufficient. Thus, modifications must be made in the preclinical and clinical training program of Endodontics students.

Full textAbstract:
The main objective of this paper is to perform an updated literature review of guided endodontics based on the available up-to-date scientific literature to identify and describe the technique, its benefits, and its limitations. Four electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, and Web of Science) were used to perform a literature search from 1 January 2017 to 13 May 2022. After discarding duplicates, out of 1047 results, a total of 29 articles were eligible for review. Guided endodontics is a novel technique that is currently evolving. It is applied in multiple treatments, especially in accessing and locating root canals in teeth with pulp canal obliteration, microsurgical endodontics, and removing glass fiber posts in endodontic retreatments. In addition, it is independent of an operator’s experience, requires less treatment time for the patient, and is more accurate and safer than conventional endodontics.

Full textAbstract:
Since the introduction of Nickel-Titanium alloy as the material of choice for the manufacturing of endodontic rotary instruments, the success rate of the root canal therapies has been significantly increased. This success mainly arises from the properties of the Nickel-Titanium alloy: the biocompatibility, the superelasticity and the shape memory effect. Those characteristics have led to a reduction in time of endodontic treatments, a simplification of instrumentation procedures and an increase of predictability and effectiveness of endodontic treatments. Nevertheless, the intracanal separation of Nickel-Titanium rotary instruments is still a major concern of endodontists, with a consequent possible reduction in the outcome rate. As thoroughly demonstrated, the two main causes of intracanal separation of endodontic instruments are the cyclic fatigue and the torsional loads. As results, in order to reduce the percentage of intracanal separation research and manufacturers have been focused on the parameters that directly or indirectly influence mechanical properties of endodontic rotary instruments. This review describes the current state of the art regarding the Nickel-Titanium alloy in endodontics, the mechanical behavior of endodontic rotary instruments and the relative stresses acting on them during intracanal instrumentation, highlighting the limitation of the current literature.

Endodontics is evolving with modern innovations for conservatively managing the various dental problems involving pulpal or periradicular tissue of primary and permanent teeth. Lasers have been reported with favorable clinical evidence, particularly in tackling the endodontic problems effectively. Recently, the application of lasers in the form of photobiomodulation therapy or low-level laser therapy has been reported in many recent scientific studies/researches with successful results. Hence, this narrative review critically appraise the existing scientific literature and highlights the photobiomodulation technique of lasers as noninvasive therapeutic modality in different pediatric endodontic therapies or procedures (direct pulp capping, pulpotomy, noninvasive treatment of periapical lesion, regenerative endodontics, postendodontic pain management, etc.).

ABSTRACTThe application of magnification devices in endodontics is mainly meant for visual enhancement and improved ergonomics. This is crucial especially when long hours are spent in a narrow operating space to treat obscure microanatomy. Nevertheless, application of magnification in endodontics has yet to be introduced into the mainstream practice due to various influences in behavioral patterns. By conducting an extensive literature search in the PubMed database, this narrative review paper depicts the present state of magnification devices, their applications within the endodontic practice, factors that influence their usage, the advantages, and shortcomings, as well as the significances of magnification in the field of endodontics. This review paper will encourage clinicians to employ magnification in their practice for improved outcome.

Full textAbstract:
The effectiveness of calcium hydroxide as an antiseptic agent in endodontics has recently gained relevance, being crucial to ensure optimal results in endodontic treatments. The aim of the study was to interpret the use of calcium hydroxide as an intra-endodontic medication by means of a literature review. A narrative review of the updated literature was performed, with the aim of describing the effects of CaOH and exposing the different clinical procedures in which it is used, as well as the results of its application in endodontic therapy. Clinical trials, meta-analyses and original and published articles from 2018 to 2023, in English or Spanish, were included. It was found that calcium hydroxide plays a key role in endodontics due to its dissociation into calcium and hydroxyl ions, which contributes to its antimicrobial and biological efficacy. Its clinical application is extensive, including preventive endodontics, direct and indirect pulp capping, pulp curettage and pulpotomies, especially in teeth with incomplete apical development. The mechanism behind its antimicrobial action lies in the diffusion of calcium ions and the increase in pH, which limit the rate and enhance the antimicrobial effect in root canals. It was concluded that, for an effective endodontic treatment, it is necessary to eliminate all microorganisms from the root canal. In addition, the microorganism such as E. faecalis has a high resistance to endodontic treatment, which is due to its ability to penetrate into the dentinal tubules, tolerate high alkalinity, and form biofilms

One of the main debates that have occurred in Endodontics is about the amount of sessions required to complete an appropriate treatment. There are very different philosophies regarding this matter. Objective: to the aim of this study was to investigate the Endodontists’ point of view regarding single and multiple visit root canal treatment, identifying the basis on which the choice is made and how the information necessary for the choice is acquired. Material and methods: Endodontists registered in the dental practice board of Florianópolis/SC were contacted, and if they agreed to participate, they were interviewed using a questionnaire. The following topics were addressed: demographics, current clinical procedures, treatment rationales and preferences. Forty-three endodontists agreed to participate in the study. Results: Single visit endodontic treatment is carried out in 59.5% of biopulpectomy cases, 31.0% of necropulpectomy cases without lesion and only 11.9% in necropulpectomy cases with periapical lesion. The presence of vital pulp (81.4%) and a canal without exudate (93.0%) are the most important criteria for carrying out single visit endodontic treatment. The most used intracanal medication was calcium hydroxide. The lack of studies comparing long-term success on single visit endodontic treatment is considered an important issue to determine this therapy. Conclusion: It can be concluded that Florianopolis-Brazil endodontists prefer multiple visit over single visit root canal treatment in pulp necrosis cases. When pulp vitality is not compromised there is an increase in the number of endodontists who choose single visit root canal treatment.

ABSTRACT Aim: The purpose of this survey is to gain insight into the choice of endodontic posts and failure mode of different types of posts and their management by the dentist. Material and Methods: Dentists have a wide range of options for the use of endodontic posts, so they should know the preferred post, the failure mode for a different type of post, and its management in case of failure, so questionnaire was prepared based on this. Survey was done among general dentists, endodontists and prosthodontists, through Google Sheets, SurveyMonkey, and manually. 230 dentists (156-general; 45-endodontists; 29-Prosthodontists) participated in this survey. Results: FRC post is preferred post in anteriors among general dentists, endodontists and prosthodontists. The most preferred post in posteriors among endodontists is FRC(49%), prosthodontists is cast post, among general dentists it is cast post and metal posts(36% each). Selection criteria among all the groups are requirement for esthetic crown. Managing endodontic failure among 54% of general dentists, 56% of endodontists and 66% of prosthodontists is post retrieval using ultrasonics followed by retreatment. Fracture of teeth is the predominant reason among all the groups for failure of post retained crown. The management of FRC post failure among endodontists and prosthodontists were ultrasonic retrieval. Commonest failure for FRC post among general dentists and endodontists is post dislodgement wheras among prosthodontists is tooth fracture. Conclusion: Prosthetic rehabilitation of root canal-treated teeth is the ultimate goal of endodontics. Correct knowledge ensures the right attitude in selecting the best post for core retention in endodontically treated teeth.

Precision medicine (PM) refers to the modifying of medical or dental treatment according to the individual features of each patient. Imaging has become a central part of PM since the last decade. PM takes into account and aims to exploit the specific profile of the patient’s unique biology and problem. Imaging plays an important role by providing morphologic and functional information, focusing and guiding treatment and assessing response to therapy. Image-guided treatment (IGT), or here specifically image-guided endodontics, is not a strategy that tries to optimize 3-D cleaning, shaping and disinfection, and filling root canal systems. Importantly, IGT is not about simply making a smaller access or smaller shape. It is concept for preserving dentin and restoring the balance. It is about planning access, planning shape using a directed approach, and evaluating the response to treatment. So, in this meta-analysis review, we discuss about the role of image guided therapies like static CT guidance & Dynamic guidance, guided rail based on CBCT (3D printer-based template) used in conventional endodontic therapies and in endodontic surgery. The used of CBCT in the various branches of dentistry such has oral implantology, periodontology has been increased due to its three–dimensional visualization. For the technology to be fully transferred to everyday clinical endodontic practice, there are number of considerations. The novel concepts of guided endodontichas been reported as an effective method to obtain safe and reliable method during variable endodontic procedures.

Full textAbstract:
Aim. This comprehensive review is aimed at evaluating the diagnostic and prognostic accuracy of artificial intelligence in endodontic dentistry. Introduction. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a relatively new technology that has widespread use in dentistry. The AI technologies have primarily been used in dentistry to diagnose dental diseases, plan treatment, make clinical decisions, and predict the prognosis. AI models like convolutional neural networks (CNN) and artificial neural networks (ANN) have been used in endodontics to study root canal system anatomy, determine working length measurements, detect periapical lesions and root fractures, predict the success of retreatment procedures, and predict the viability of dental pulp stem cells. Methodology. The literature was searched in electronic databases such as Google Scholar, Medline, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus, published over the last four decades (January 1980 to September 15, 2021) by using keywords such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, application, endodontics, and dentistry. Results. The preliminary search yielded 2560 articles relevant enough to the paper’s purpose. A total of 88 articles met the eligibility criteria. The majority of research on AI application in endodontics has concentrated on tracing apical foramen, verifying the working length, projection of periapical pathologies, root morphologies, and retreatment predictions and discovering the vertical root fractures. Conclusion. In endodontics, AI displayed accuracy in terms of diagnostic and prognostic evaluations. The use of AI can help enhance the treatment plan, which in turn can lead to an increase in the success rate of endodontic treatment outcomes. The AI is used extensively in endodontics and could help in clinical applications, such as detecting root fractures, periapical pathologies, determining working length, tracing apical foramen, the morphology of root, and disease prediction.

Endodontic therapy seeks to prevent and when necessary to eliminate endodontic infections. The persistence of microorganisms to the mechanical chemical preparation or the intracanal medication is considered the main cause of the failures of the endodontic treatment. In these cases Enterococcus faecalis is the most commonly found microorganism. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) emerges as a promising adjuvant therapy to conventional endodontic treatment to eliminate these persistent microorganisms. This therapy consists in the association of a specific light source with a photosensitizer in the presence of oxygen, producing cytotoxic species to the microorganisms. Thus, the present article aims at a review of the literature on the use of photodynamic therapy in endodontics, a test that is shown to assist in the preparation of the root canal.

Endodontic treatment can be technically challenging, requiring a high level of clinical precision and skill to avoid mishaps, to achieve a quality result and to ensure a favourable outcome. Understandably, dentists vary in competency and ability to manage challenging endodontic cases. Coupled with patients' desire to retain their natural dentition, the demand for endodontic treatment exceeds service provision. Secondary and tertiary care providers are inundated with referrals. Access to privately funded services may also be restricted due to availability and locality. The scientific and technological revolution in healthcare has benefited many medical and dental disciplines, including endodontics: solutions may be found within these technological innovations to improve and facilitate the delivery of endodontic care. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Technological innovations can contribute and facilitate the assessment, management and treatment of challenging endodontic cases in everyday clinical practice.

ABSTRACT In the past, shaping of root canals was done using stainless steel (SS) hand files. The introduction of rotary instrumentation has revolutionized the art and science of endodontic practice in the last decade with predictable success. The rotary files have been subjected to constant evolution in the form of metallurgy, design features, and the manner in which these instruments are driven (rotary/reciprocation), etc., resulting in revolution, both within the canal and in the area of contemporary endodontics. The purpose of this review is to identify publications regarding the evaluation, to present comprehensive and critical summaries of current knowledge, and to provide an update of the rotary and reciprocating concept, which is new and which is true.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography is a diagnostic imaging modality that provides high quality, accurate three dimensional (3D) representations. CBCT in endodontics not only gives a three dimensional evaluation of the region of interest but also an appropriate resolution of images that help give a detailed analysis of the tooth and the surrounding alveolar anatomy. It aids in deciding the treatment plan in various fields of dentistry. CBCT has been proved as an essential diagnostic aid for endodontic practice. Since the use of ionizing radiation involves the patient’s and clinician’s safety, adequate knowledge about the appropriate usage of CBCT usage should be considered as a necessity. In endodontics, CBCT is a useful tool that helps in the diagnosis of apical periodontitis, resorptions, perforations, root canal morphology, traumatic injuries, voids. This survey was conducted among dentists. Online google forms were distributed of which 307 participants took part in the survey and the questionnaire contained 19 multiple choice questions, based on the demographic data, knowledge, attitude, practice regarding usage of CBCT in endodontics. On analysing the response to the questionnaire, it was found that the participants have overall good knowledge and were well versed regarding usage CBCT for endodontic procedures. This survey provides the reader with a clearer understanding of the appropriate and unwarranted usage of CBCT for endodontic practice. CBCT can be a powerful tool for endodontic diagnosis as well as in treatment planning and follow up.

Triphala is an ancient Ayurvedic medicine with numerous advantages. It is an Ayurvedic blend of three different ayurvedic herbs. As a result, the composite material’s efficiency will be greater than that of its elements. Shaping and cleaning are important aspects of successful endodontic treatment. A variety of chemicals are used to irrigate the root canals and kill the microorganisms that cause root canal infection. These compounds have their own set of drawbacks. As a result, ayurvedic medications are increasingly being employed in endodontics to offset the disadvantages of traditional chemicals. The effectiveness of triphala in endodontic applications is examined in this review.

The direct operating microscope has completely revolutionized the field of endodontics, leading to increased success in both non-surgical and surgical cases. In low- and middle-income countries, microsurgical endodontics is still a developing field and procedures that fall within this category employ higher magnification. Currently, less than 25% of dentists in developing countries employ any sort of magnification in their practice. Basic concepts, such as microscope positioning and operator's ergonomics, are still confusing to many dentists, novice or experienced alike. This article introduces the benefits and general principles of direct operating microscope use in endodontic microsurgeries. CPD/Clinical Relevance: A better understanding of the use of dental operating microscopes in endodontic microsurgical techniques may facilitate a more efficient workflow.

Background and aim. Bioceramics are ceramic compounds obtained both in situ and in vivo, by various chemical processes. Bioceramics exhibit excellent biocompatibility due to their similarity with biological materials, like hydroxyapatite. Bioceramics and multi-substituted hydroxyapatite or similar compounds have the ability to induce a regenerative response in the organism.The aim of this paper is to make a literature review on the main bioceramic materials currently used in endodontics and on their specific characteristics.Methods. We conducted a search in the international databases (PubMed), to identify publications in the last 10 years, using the following key words: "bioceramics endodontics", "bioceramic endodontic cement", "bioceramic sealer" and "direct pulp capping bioceramic".Results. Commonly used endodontic sealers (e.g., containing zinc oxide, calcium hydroxide and a resin) have a long tradition in scientific research and clinical use in endodontics. For specific cases, like root resorptions, perforations, apexification, and retrograde fillings, new biocompatible materials were developed in order to improve the clinical outcome: ProRooT MTA (Dentsply Company,Germany); Biodentine (Septodont, France); Endosequence BC sealer (Brassler, SUA); Bioaggregate (IBC, Canada); Generex A (Dentsply Tulsa Dental Specialties, USA).Conclusion. The studies are generally in favor of bioceramic materials even if there are not many products available on the market for endodontic use. As more products are launched and more research is performed regarding these materials, we will provide more reliable data on clinical outcome.
