Introduction: This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the association between pulp calcifications (PC) and cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Method: Five databases (PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science and ProQuest) were searched to identify articles. Quality assessment of the selected articles was done using Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tool and the inter-examiner agreement was calculated using the Cohen-Kappa test.
Background: Guided Endodontics is suggested as a reliable method for management of teeth with pulp canal obliteration (PCO). The guide used for this usually involves multiple teeth to gain stability but is bulky. It is therefore suboptimal to be used along with rubber dam.

Methods: One hundred patients, on whom the inferior alveolar nerve block and intraligamentary injections failed, were recruited for the trial. Block randomization was performed and the patients were allocated into 4 groups based on the needle gauge and topical application of anaesthesia prior to IP injection.
