Article Synopsis
- Cemento-osseous dysplasia can appear as different types of lesions in the jaw and may resemble other dental issues on X-rays.
- A case involved a patient with irreversible pulpitis and root resorption, showing a mixed radiolucent/radiopaque lesion near a molar root, leading to root canal treatment and periapical surgery.
- After the surgery, histopathology confirmed florid cement-osseous dysplasia, which was previously mistaken for apical periodontitis, and follow-up images showed complete healing after one year.
Introduction: Pain management after root canal treatment is a very important issue in clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of occlusal reduction on postoperative pain in teeth with irreversible pulpitis and tenderness to percussion.
Methods: Fifty-four posterior vital teeth with sensitivity to percussion requiring endodontic treatment were included in this study.
Internal resorption is a rare lesion in permanent teeth. Managing perforating internal resorption is a great challenge for dentists. This report presents a successful surgical treatment of a maxillary central incisor that had extensive root perforation due to internal resorption.

Methods: In a randomized double-blinded clinical trial, 150 patients (50 per group) with irreversible pulpitis were given placebo, 600 mg ibuprofen, or 75 mg indomethacin 1 hour before local anesthesia.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) block combined with buccal infiltration for mandibular molars with irreversible pulpitis.
Methodology: Eighty-four patients were randomly assigned to 3 groups of 28 patients each. Lidocaine 2% with 1:80,000 epinephrine was used for all injections.
