Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine how patient characteristics and potential factors contribute to the occurrence of external cervical resorption (ECR) in teeth, analyzing 215 cases from a specialized dental practice in London.* -
- Findings revealed that 22.3% of cases had no identifiable predisposing factors, while 57.7% had one factor (most commonly orthodontic treatment) and 20% had multiple factors, with significant variations based on patient demographics and tooth types.* -
- Notably, males had a higher occurrence of sole predisposing factors compared to females, and the presence of dental trauma and pet ownership were among the most common factors linked to ECR.*
Aim: High-quality, prospective clinical studies are needed to increase evidence for guided endodontics. This study aims to assess the clinical outcome of guided endodontics for treatment of teeth presenting with pulp canal obliteration (PCO) in comparison with freehand treatment.
Methodology: This trial was registered in the ISRCTN.
This study aimed to assess the relationship between Schneiderian membrane thickening and periapical pathology in a retrospective analysis of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images. For this, 147 CBCT scans containing 258 sinuses and 1,181 teeth were assessed. Discontinuation of the lamina dura, widening of the periodontal ligament space, apical periodontitis (AP), and partly demineralized maxillary sinus floor associated with AP were considered periapical pathology.

Methodology: This study involved 215 ECR lesions in 194 patients referred to the Endodontic postgraduate Unit at King's College London or Specialist Endodontic practice (London, UK). The clinical and radiographic findings (periapical [PA] and cone beam computed tomography [CBCT]) were readily accessible for evaluation.
