Canal pretreatment using cold atmospheric argon plasma, chitosan and Chlorine p6 activated by photodynamic therapy with EDTA as a final irrigant on the pushout bond strength of fiber post.

Aims: To evaluate the effect of contemporary root canal irrigants i.e., Cold atmospheric argon plasma (CAAP), Chlorine p6 (Clp6), and chitosan on the push-out bond strength (PBS) of glass fiber post (GFP) and marten hardness (MH) of root canal dentin compared to NaOCl+EDTA.

Evaluation of the Diagnostic and Prognostic Accuracy of Artificial Intelligence in Endodontic Dentistry: A Comprehensive Review of Literature.

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.

Anatomical Evaluation of Posterior Maxillary Roots in Relation to the Maxillary Sinus Floor in a Saudi Sub-Population: A Cross-Sectional Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Study.

To evaluate the mean distance and differences between posterior maxillary teeth and maxillary sinus floor (MSF) concerning the age and gender of the patients, a total of 124 maxillary sinuses and 496 posterior maxillary teeth were randomly selected in 62 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Mean distances between posterior maxillary roots (PMRs) from different teeth and the MSF were measured using a calibrated tool in the software. Other relations regarding the gender and age of the patients were determined.

Association between the baseline gene expression profile in periapical granuloma and periapical wound healing after surgical endodontic treatment.

In this study, we have investigated the association between the baseline gene expression profile in periapical granuloma and periapical wound healing after surgical endodontic treatment. Twenty-seven patients aged between 15 and 57 years underwent periapical surgery. The retrieved periapical tissue sample was used for mRNA expression analysis of COL1A1, VTN, ITGA5, IL-4, TNF, ANGPT, VEGFA, and CTGF.

Efficacy of root canal treatment in c-shaped canals with adjunctive photodynamic therapy using micro-CT.

Aim: To investigate the efficacy of conventional root canal treatment (cRCT) with adjunctive photodynamic therapy (aPDT) against microbial biofilms within infected c-shaped root canals.

Methods: In this in vitro report, the inoculation of 20 freshly extracted human mandibular molar teeth having c-shaped root canal configuration was performed with E. faecalis and P.

Comparison of bacterial removal from dentinal tubules with different irrigant agitation techniques: An in vitro study.

Aim: This investigation was conducted to assess the ability of various irrigant agitation devices to eradicate from the dentinal tubules of extracted teeth.

Methodology: Fifty roots of extracted human teeth were instrumented to size 30 k with a 0.04 taper.
