Regenerative endodontic therapy in immature teeth using photobiomodulation and photodynamic therapy; a histomorphological study in canine model.

Background: Regenerative endodontic therapy (RET) is still coming up short to demonstrate histological evidence for true regeneration with clinically feasible protocol of cell homing in single visit approach.

Aim: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the regenerative potential of photobiomodulation (PBM) on RET in immature roots when photodynamic therapy (PDT) protocol is implemented for root canal disinfection in canine model.

Materials And Methods: Seventy-two root canals were recruited, with sixty assigned to experimental groups and twelve to positive and negative controls.

Artificial intelligent-driven decision-making for automating root fracture detection in periapical radiographs.

Background: The detection and early diagnosis of root fractures can be challenging; this difficulty applies particularly to newly qualified dentists. Aside from clinical examination, diagnosis often requires radiographic assessment. Nonetheless, human fallibility can introduce errors due to a lack of experience.
