Factors influencing the clinical performance of the restoration of endodontically treated teeth: An assessment of systematic reviews of clinical studies.

Statement Of Problem: How best to restore endodontically treated teeth is still unclear because many types of material and techniques are involved.

Purpose: The purpose of this overview of systematic reviews of clinical studies was to assess the available evidence-based literature on the influence of associated clinical factors on the clinical performance (survival, failure rate, or success) of restored endodontically treated teeth.

Material And Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched from inception until September 27, 2021, to identify systematic reviews.

Restorative preferences and choices of dentists and students for restoring endodontically treated teeth: A systematic review of survey studies.

Statement Of Problem: The best protocol to restore endodontically treated teeth is still unclear, with many factors to be considered, including the selection and necessity of a post, the type of coronal restoration, the amount of remaining coronal structure, and the type of luting agent.

Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the restorative preferences for endodontically treated teeth between dentists and dental students.

Material And Methods: Survey studies, written in English, of dentists and dental students, which evaluated the use of intracanal posts and other restorative options for endodontically treated teeth, were selected.

Effect of photoactivation on the reduction of composite resin contamination.

Composite resins are predominantly marketed in developing countries in tube form, and the contents of the tube may be used in numerous procedures for different patients. This represents a problem because of the risk of cross-contamination. This study aimed to evaluate contamination in vitro of the internal contents of composite resin tubes in the dental clinics of a higher-education institution, as well as the effect of photoactivation on the level of contamination.
