Introduction: Leukemia and lymphoma mimicking periapical conditions can lead to significant diagnostic pitfalls. Guidance for endodontists in managing such cases is barely explored. This systematic review aimed to summarize the clinicopathologic, imaging, and management aspects of leukemia/lymphoma that mimicked periapical conditions and resulted in endodontic treatment.

Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) has emerged as a new tool providing therapeutic benefits. However, the contribution of PBMT to the postoperative outcomes of tonsillectomy is still undefined.

- MCs (mast cells) are linked to disease progression and may influence conditions like tumors, but their exact role in odontogenic lesions like ameloblastomas (AMBs) and odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) is unclear.
- A study analyzed 40 odontogenic lesions (20 OKCs and 20 AMBs) using histological methods and statistical analysis to assess the presence and impact of MCs in these conditions.
- Results showed that MCs were found more frequently in OKCs (60%) than in AMBs (35%), with significant differences between solid and unicystic AMBs, indicating potential roles for MCs but no definitive conclusions on their biological influence overall.
Objectives: To present and explore the potential of an animal-based experimental model developed to determine the set of root canal sealers in vivo. The setting of AH Plus, BioC Sealer, TotalFill BC Sealer, and Sealapex was determined using either ISO 6876 or the novel in vivo method proposed in this study.
Material And Methods: The in vitro setting time of the sealers tested was determined in accordance with ISO 6876:2012.
Reestablishing blood flow and allowing the continuation of root development are some of the objectives of pulp revascularization. This procedure is currently indicated for teeth with incomplete root formation as an alternative to the traditional treatment of apecification, which consists of inserting calcium hydroxide paste into the root canal for a determined time period in order to induce the formation of a calcified barrier. Although it is considered as the most classically employed therapy, the permanence of the paste for long time periods may lead to the weakening of the root due to hygroscopic properties, as well as proteolytic activities of calcium hydroxide.

Methods: Thirty-two male Wistar rats were divided into control and experimental groups. In the control group the rats were submitted to a mandibular fracture, which was reduced, and the soft tissues were sutured.
This study evaluated the short-term response of human pulp tissue when directly capped with Portland cement. In this series of cases, twenty human third molars that were scheduled for extraction were used. After cavity preparation, pulp exposure was achieved and Portland cement pulp capping was performed.
