Background/aim: To explore transfer learning (TL) techniques for enhancing vertical root fracture (VRF) diagnosis accuracy and to assess the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on image enhancement for VRF detection on both extracted teeth images and intraoral images taken from patients.
Materials And Methods: A dataset of 378 intraoral periapical radiographs comprising 195 teeth with fractures and 183 teeth without fractures serving as controls was included. DenseNet, ConvNext, Inception121, and MobileNetV2 were employed with model fusion.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the knowledge of dental students in 10 countries about the 2020 IADT guidelines for managing traumatic dental injuries (TDIs), focusing on both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
- An online survey with 12 questions was conducted among final-year students in both pediatric dentistry and endodontics, revealing that postgraduate students scored significantly higher than undergraduates in their understanding of TDI management.
- The findings highlighted notable disparities in knowledge across different regions and an urgent need for improvements in the curriculum related to TDIs in dental education.
Background: Endodontic-periodontal lesions may need surgical approach and the application of guided tissue regeneration (GTR) to be treated by a combined approach.
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of GTR on the success (clinical and radiological healing) of teeth with endodontic-periodontal lesions treated by modern surgical endodontic treatment, by means of a systematic review of the literature.
Methods: An exhaustive electronic (Medline, Embase and Scopus searched from inception to August 2020) and manual literature search combined with strict inclusion and exclusion criteria was undertaken to identify any clinical (prospective case series or comparative trials) studies that assessed the added benefit of GTR in modern surgical endodontic treatment of teeth with endodontic-periodontal lesions.
This study aimed to evaluate the effect of general anesthesia (GA) on the 1-year outcome of Root Canal Treatment (RCT) performed in pediatric patients and to compare it to the outcome of RCT in pediatric patients without GA. Patients admitted for RCT in permanent dentition in a public hospital, dated 2015 to 2020, age 8-15 with a minimum of one year follow-up period, were included in the study. The sample consisted of 326 teeth from 269 patients treated by a single operator, with a recall rate of 81%.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the imaging modality on the evaluation of the outcome of modern surgical endodontic treatments, based on a systematic review of the literature.
Methods: Strict inclusion criteria were adopted in order to identify studies that assessed the outcome of surgical endodontic treatments. Treatment success rates were pooled.
