Postoperative pain after single-visit root canal treatment or vital pulp therapy: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: This systematic review aimed to investigate whether vital pulp therapy and root canal treatment (RCT) promote different postoperative pain.

Studies Reviewed: The authors searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature databases for studies published through June 30, 2022. The authors included randomized clinical trials if they reported on the assessment of postoperative pain after direct pulp capping, partial pulpotomy, pulpotomy, or single-visit RCT.

Physicochemical properties of three bioceramic cements.

This study aimed to compare the physicochemical properties of MTA Angelus (MTA-A), MTA Repair HP (MTA-HP), and Biodentine (BD). Setting times (n = 7) were determined in accordance with ASTM C266-15. Solubility (n = 11), pH (n = 10), and calcium ion release (n = 10) were evaluated up to 28 days in accordance with ANSI/ADA specification no.

Pulp capping with mineral trioxide aggregate or Biodentine: a comparison of mineralized barrier formation and inflammatory and degenerative events.

Biodentine in endodontic practice has been widely investigated, but comprehensive histological descriptions of degenerative and inflammatory responses are not covered in most of the studies that compare pulp capping materials. This study aimed to evaluate pulpal responses to mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA Angelus) and Biodentine, focusing on mineralized barrier formation and on inflammatory and degenerative events. 80 male Wistar rats were assigned to 5 groups, according to the materials used for pulp capping and coronal sealing (n=8 per group/period).

Root canal retreatment: a retrospective investigation using regression and data mining methods for the prediction of technical quality and periapical healing.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate patterns and risk factors related to the feasibility of achieving technical quality and periapical healing in root canal non-surgical retreatment, using regression and data mining methods.

Methodology: This retrospective observational study included 321 consecutive patients presenting for root canal retreatment. Patients were treated by graduate students, following standard protocols.
