Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly advancing in the field of dentistry, offering new and innovative solutions to improve accuracy efficiency oral healthcare. In recent years, AI has been used a variety dental specialties, including pathology, prosthodontics, endodontic, periodontics, implant dentistry. algorithms can analyze images, assist with diagnosis, treatment planning, automate routi...

The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of endodontic therapy, veneer preparation, and their association on fracture resistance and deflection of pulpless anterior teeth and assess whether restoration with quartz fiber-reinforced post can influence these properties. Seventy-five freshly extracted human maxillary central incisors were selected. Teeth were randomly divided in...

INTRODUCTION This retrospective study examined the potential prognostic factors on the outcome after endodontic microsurgery and compared the predictors of isolated endodontic lesion with those of both isolated endodontic lesions and endodontic-periodontal lesions. METHODS The data were collected from patients with a history of endodontic microsurgery performed between August 2004 and Decembe...

Irrigation of root canals during endodontic therapy is an important step. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), chlorhexidine (CHX) and normal saline are commonly used intracanal irrigants to disinfect and clean the root canals. This prospective study was set to observe the efficacy of normal saline (0.9% NaCl) irrigation with sequential irrigation of 3% H2O2, 5.2% NaOCl and 0....

introduction: bacterial infection of tooth pulp can progress into periapical diseases. root canal treatment has been established as the best treatment. in cases of failure, nonsurgical retreatment of teeth is preferred to surgical procedure and extraction. materials & methods: in this historical cohort study, 104 permanent teeth with apical lesion were treated during 2002-2008. all teeth showed...

INTRODUCTION Endodontic-periodontal combined lesion is a clinical dilemma because making a differential diagnosis and deciding a prognosis are difficult. METHODS Twenty-six cases from 14 articles involving the successful management of endodontic-periodontal lesions with concurrent regenerative procedures were reviewed. This article also presents successful treatment of an endodontic-periodont...

Success of endodontic treatment requires the knowledge and morphology of root canal anatomy. Undetected additional canals in mandibular premolar is a common reason for endodontic failure. This presents with diagnostic difficulty and subsequent flare ups and poor prognosis. Location of additional canals is the key to successful endodontic management. This case report describes endodontic managem...

Taurodontism is the morphoanatomical change in the shape of a tooth, which involves enlargement of the body of the tooth and shortening of the roots. Although a rare dental anomaly, unusual radicular form presents with challenging endodontic considerations. Endodontic management of taurodont teeth has been described as complex and difficult. The present article describes a brief literature revi...

Tooth discoloration induced by endodontic sealers, is a common finding that impairs aesthetic outcome of endodontic treatment. The aim of the present mini literature review, was to summarize the existing data on discoloration potential of different endodontic sealers. The research covered the article published in PubMed and Google Scholar from 2000 to 2015. The searched keywords included 'tooth...

Prognosis and outcome are two terms routinely used in medicine and dentistry to predict and assess the treatment of disease. Prognosis is a practitioner’s assessment about how a patient will recover from an illness or injury. It is a forecast of the probable course of recovery for any particular disease considering the assessment of the case. Outcome is the end result of the treatment and a con...
