Purpose: To assess the bond strength and the hybrid layer (HL) micro-morphological characteristics at the cement-dentin interface (CD-i) between root canal walls and two adhesive resin cements [self-etch (SERc) and self-adhesive (SARc)] in root-canal-treated (RCT) and naturally aged retreated teeth (RCR-T).
Materials And Methods: Vital (n = 16) and RCT (n = 16) teeth were, respectively, endodontically treated or retreated. Fiber posts were luted either with SERc (Clearfil Universal Bond Quick + DC Core Plus) or SARc (iCEM).
The aim was to analyse the influence of an apical ledge on root canal disinfection. Forty-four single-rooted teeth were micro-CT scanned and inoculated with Enterococcus faecalis. In Group S shaping was performed with ProTaper Next (PTN) up to X3 at working length (WL).

- A study investigates the link between apical periodontitis (AP) and elevated serum inflammatory factors that might trigger insulin resistance (IR), aiming to understand the potential impact of root canal treatment (RCT) on inflammation and insulin response.
- Results showed untreated AP patients had significantly higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, IL-8) compared to healthy controls, suggesting a connection between AP and systemic inflammation.
- Post-treatment, patients with AP displayed reduced cytokine levels and an improved insulin response, indicating that RCT may alleviate inflammation and its effects on insulin sensitivity.
(1) Background: A Dynamic Navigation System (DNS) is an innovative tool that facilitates the management of complex endodontic cases. Despite the number of advantages and limitations of this approach, there is no evidence-based information about its efficiency in comparison with that of the traditional method in endodontics. (2) Objectives: We aimed to explore any beneficial effects of the DNS and compare the outcomes of DNS vs.
