Background: The aim of this review was to discuss the current and newly emerging antiresorptive medications and their potential implications for dental surgeries.
Types Of Studies Reviewed: The authors searched PubMed (MEDLINE), Cochrane, Embase, and other electronic databases for articles related to osteonecrosis of the jaw and medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ).

Background: Grossman described the ideal properties of root canal sealers. The International Organization for Standardization and American National Standards Institute and American Dental Association have codified some of his requirements in ISO 6876 and ANSI/ADA 57, respectively. In this narrative review, the authors combined the ideal Grossman properties and requirements of these standards, emphasizing the newer tricalcium silicate cement sealers.

This is an important gap because increased understanding of dental pain mechanisms may lead to improved diagnostic tests or therapeutic interventions. The aim of this study was to comprehensively review the literature on the mechanisms of dentinal sensitivity.

Using the PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcome) format, the following scientific question was asked: In patients taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet agents, what is the available evidence in the management of endodontic microsurgery?
Methods: MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases were searched to identify current recommendations regarding the management of antiplatelet and anticoagulant medications in the context of outpatient dental surgical procedures.
Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to replicate human intelligence to perform prediction and complex decision making in health care and has significantly increased its presence and relevance in various tasks and applications in dentistry, especially endodontics. The aim of this review was to discuss the current endodontic applications of AI and potential future directions.
Methods: Articles that have addressed the applications of AI in endodontics were evaluated for information pertinent to include in this narrative review.
Objectives: To date, the relationship between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and endodontic treatment outcomes remains elusive with mixed reports. Thus, the purpose of this systematic review of longitudinal cohort studies was to evaluate whether CVD was a risk factor for endodontic outcome.
Materials And Methods: Two reviewers independently conducted a comprehensive electronic database search to July 2020.
Introduction: Tooth mobility is often discussed among dental health care providers according to a numerical scale (ie, 1, 2, or 3) without a clear understanding of the definition of each category. Thus, a comprehensive review to examine and discuss the various classifications is needed. The aim of this comprehensive review was to discuss the main clinical classifications of tooth mobility.

Clin Oral Investig
February 2020
Objectives: The purpose of this systematic review was to examine if, in adult patients, the absence or presence of smoking influenced the prevalence of periapical periodontitis (PP).
Materials And Methods: Databases were searched, and original research manuscripts up to June 2019 were identified by two reviewers. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used for risk of bias.
The purpose of this systematic review was to qualify and quantify the evidence regarding the effect of extruded sealers on endodontic treatment outcomes. Two reviewers independently conducted a comprehensive literature search. The EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane, PubMed databases, bibliographies, grey literature of all relevant articles and textbooks were searched.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFIntroduction: The purpose of this systematic review was to compare and quantify endodontic outcome using cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) imaging with intraoral periapical radiography.
Methods: Two reviewers independently conducted a comprehensive literature search. The MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, and PubMed databases were searched.
Introduction: To determine what would be the minimal apical diameter for optimal chemomechanical preparation in the root canal system in terms of debridement and/or irrigation delivery, in patients undergoing nonsurgical root canal treatment.
Methods And Materials: Randomized controlled clinical trials, cohorts, cross-over studies from peer-reviewed journals published in English from January 1950 to June 2018 which reported outcome in terms of healing, microbial reduction and/or effectiveness of irrigation delivery to the apical third of the root canal system. Two reviewers conducted a comprehensive literature search.
Introduction: The purpose of this systematic review was to determine whether endodontic infections had an impact on the pathogenesis of systemic disease.
Methods: Two reviewers independently conducted a comprehensive literature search. The MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, and PubMed databases were searched.
Introduction: The present study aimed to determine the incidence and anatomic variation of the middle mesial (MM) canal in mandibular permanent first molars using cone-beam computed tomographic imaging and to evaluate the association between the presence of MM canals and anatomic landmarks of the pulp chamber floor in the mesial root.
Methods: In this in vivo cross-sectional study, 210 CBCT scans of mandibular fist molars from 210 patients were included. CBCT scans were evaluated in 3 sections, and the following data were collected for further analysis: identification of the MM canal, the distance between the mesiobuccal (MB) and mesiolingual (ML) orifices, the presence of any isthmus between the MB and ML orifices, and the MB and ML root canal system (RCS) configurations.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of periodontal status at the time of nonsurgical root canal treatment (NSRCT) on the survival rate of endodontically treated teeth (ETT).
Methods: In this retrospective investigation, molars that received NSRCT in an advanced specialty education program in endodontics from 2009 through 2017 were initially recruited. After the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 315 teeth were included in the study.
Introduction: Preeclampsia (PE) is characterized by hypertension and proteinuria after the 20th week of gestation. There is an association between systemic inflammation and adverse pregnancy outcomes such as PE. Therefore, for the first time, the present study aimed to investigate the possible association between maternal apical periodontitis (AP) and PE.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 40 patients diagnosed with nondiabetic ESRD were included. The control group consisted of 40 age-matched and sex-matched healthy individuals.
Introduction: The aim of the current investigation was to assess the effect of the use of a dental operating microscope on the outcome of nonsurgical root canal treatment (NS RCT) while treating the mesiobuccal (MB) root of the maxillary first molar.
Methods: This retrospective investigation included endodontically treated maxillary first molars (ETMs) with apparent adequate previous NS RCT and restorations referred for endodontic retreatment at the endodontic graduate clinic. Inclusion criteria were ETMs that were diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis and normal periapical tissues before the initial NS RCT and ETMs that presented with a minimum of 1 identifiable periapical lesion (PAR) at 1 of the roots at the time of retreatment.
Introduction: To date, the relationships between systemic diseases and endodontic treatment outcomes remain poorly studied. Thus, the purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the relationship between host-modifying factors and their association with endodontic outcomes.
