Perspectives of general dental practitioners on restoring endodontically treated molars: a UK-based vignette study.

Aims To assess and compare how UK general dental practitioners (GDPs) restore endodontically treated molars and what tooth-related factors they consider relevant to their management.Method An online cross-sectional vignette survey was sent out to UK dentists via email and the use of social media platforms. Three clinical cases were designed.

The tooth survival of non-surgical root-filled posterior teeth and the associated prognostic tooth-related factors: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Analysis of the survival of root-filled posterior teeth and the associated prognostic tooth-related factors will enable clinicians to predict the outcome of root canal treatment.

Objectives: To investigate (i) the survival of root-filled posterior teeth and (ii) the tooth-related factors that may affect their survival.

Methods: Randomized controlled trials, comparative studies and observational studies assessing survival rates of root-filled posterior teeth with a minimum 4-year follow-up period were identified through an electronic search of the following databases up to January 2023: The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Medline via PubMed, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Embase, Web of Science and NIHR centre for reviews and dissemination.

Which endodontic access cavity is best? A literature review.

The preparation of an access cavity is the first part of endodontic treatment and is a key stage in the healing of both periapical and pulpal infections. It should allow endodontists to remove obstructions in the pulp chamber, locate all canal orifices and clean the entire root canal system with minimum coronal tooth structure removed. This has been done traditionally through establishing straight line access.

Basic anthropometry, micronutrients status and growth velocity of patients with early-onset inflammatory bowel disease: A prospective cohort study.

Background And Study Aim: Failure of optimal growth and lack of appropriate weight gain are major nutritional problems in children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Therefore, this study was designed to assess the nutritional and growth status of patients with very-early-onset IBD (VEO-IBD) before and after individual-based nutritional interventions.

Patients And Methods: This prospective cohort study assessed the nutritional status of 30 pediatric patients with VEO-IBD by performing comprehensive clinical examinations and evaluating anthropometric and biochemical parameters.

Evaluating the predictive value of fetal Doppler indices and neonatal outcome in late-onset preeclampsia with severe features: a cross-sectional study in a resource-limited setting.

Background: Preeclampsia constitutes a major health problem with substantial maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to detect the diagnostic efficacy of fetal Doppler in predicting adverse outcomes in severe late onset preeclampsia (LOP).

Methods: A prospective study was conducted among childbearing women who presented with severe LOP and matched controls.
