The Impact of Chlorhexidine as an Endodontic Irrigant/Medicament on Post-Obturation Pain in Patients Following Endodontic Therapy: A Preliminary Bayesian Meta-Analysis.

To assess the overall impact of chlorhexidine, when used as an endodontic irrigant/medicament, on post-obturation pain following endodontic treatment by the application of Bayes methods of meta-analysis. This study aimed to combine recently documented evidence using rigorous and specific search criteria. The available data were analyzed using Bayesian methods, which have the advantage of accounting for uncertainties in estimates.

Comparative Evaluation of Different Apex Locators as a Diagnostic Tool to Detect Root Perforations: An Study.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine how effectively four distinct apex locators could diagnose root perforations in terms of accuracy and repeatability.

Materials And Methods: Eighty mandibular premolars with a single root were instrumented. The distal face of the root was perforated at both the apical and middle thirds, five millimeters from the apical terminus.

Comparative Evaluation of Different Endodontic Access Cavity Designs with Different Burs-An Experimental Insight into the Aspect of Fracture Resistance.

Introduction: fracture resistance of extracted mandibular molars treated with various access cavity designs, including traditional endodontic cavity (TradAC), conservative/contracted endodontic cavity (ConsAC), ninja endodontic cavity (UltraAC), truss endodontic cavity (TrussAC), caries-driven access cavity (CariesAC), and intact teeth, is the focus of this study.

Materials And Methods: Six groups of 20 mandibular molars, totaling 120, were used in the investigation. While the other five groups underwent various access cavity preparations, chemomechanical preparation, and obturation procedures before being repaired with composite resin, Group 1 was left unaltered (the control).

Comparing Patient Outcomes for Teeth Treated with Traditional Root Canal Therapy Versus Pulpotomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Root canal therapy (RCT) and pulpotomy are two common treatment modalities for managing dental pulp infections, but their comparative effectiveness in terms of patient outcomes remains unclear. This root canal therapy (RCT) aimed to assess and compare patient outcomes between teeth treated with traditional RCT and pulpotomy.

Materials And Methods: In this single-center RCT, a total of 120 patients presenting with symptomatic dental pulp infections were randomly assigned to either the RCT group or the pulpotomy group.

Patient Satisfaction and Oral Health-Related Quality of Life before and after Endodontic Treatment: A Longitudinal Study.

Introduction: Patient satisfaction depends on various factors despite a reasonable success rate of endodontic treatment. We study various factors affecting the quality of life and patient satisfaction post-endodontic treatment.

Materials And Methods: After the successful endodontic treatment of 250 patients, a questionnaire with means of an interview by the examiner was carried out and recorded.

Clinical and Epidemiological Interventions for Monkeypox Management in Children: A Systematic Review.

This review aims to compile the available literature on monkeypox, identify risk factors for developing the disease, and recommend effective preventative methods to reduce the number of reported cases and fatalities in children and pregnant women. In seeking out pertinent studies on monkeypox virus in children and pregnant women, we searched the literature using the databases Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Scopus up to 1st February 2023. This study analyzed data from case studies of monkeypox in children and pregnant women.
