Objective: To compare the effect of pre-treatment transdermal and oral diclofenac on post-endodontic pain level and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis with apical periodontitis in mandibular molars following single visit root canal treatment.
Methods: This parallel-arm, randomised, double-blinded clinical trial is reported according to the Consoli-dated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) 2020 guidelines. The protocol was approved by the Institu-tional Ethical Committee on 30th March 2021 (MADC/IEC-I/029/2021) and registered at the clinical trial reg-istry of India (CTRI/2021/12/038696).
The purpose of this systematic review was to critically evaluate the available clinical literature on the use of regenerative endodontic therapy (RET) for the treatment of root resorption. All case reports, case series and clinical studies documenting the management of root resorption in mature or immature permanent teeth using RET were included. Review articles, animal studies, and RET in teeth showing developmental anomalies were excluded.

Five electronic databases, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, and ProQuest, were searched (till July 2021) for case reports, case series, and cross-sectional studies, in English language, reporting NMNPLs, which were clinically and/or radiographically simulating periapical pathosis of endodontic origin. Data extraction was done followed by quality assessment of the included articles using the Joanna Briggs Institute tool for case reports and case series.
