This in-vitro study aimed to explore the potential of Diode Laser by quantifying the release of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) from root dentin after ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and diode laser. In 30 hemi-roots distributed into five groups: G1: Tris-buffered solution (TBS); G2: 17%EDTA; G3: 17% EDTA +650 nm Diode Laser; G4:17% EDTA +810 nm Diode Laser; and G5: 810 nm Diode Laser. The concentration of the three factors was quantified using a cytokine bead array.

The implementation of imaging methods that enable sensitive and specific observation of anatomical structures has been a constant in the evolution of endodontic therapy. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) enables 3-dimensional (3D) spatial anatomical navigation in the 3 volumetric planes (sagittal, coronal and axial) which translates into great accuracy for the identification of endodontic pathologies/conditions. CBCT interpretation consists of 2 main components: (i) the generation of specific tasks of the image and (ii) the subsequent interpretation report.

- The study investigates how different disinfection protocols influence the success of regenerative endodontic treatments in teeth with incomplete root formation.
- Out of 18 treated teeth, 17 showed signs of clinical healing, while detailed analyses confirmed the development of a dentinal matrix and mineralization of new tissue.
- The findings suggest that the choice of chemical conditioning agents plays a critical role in shaping both the clinical results and the characteristics of the newly formed tissue in regenerative procedures.
Objective: To identify the effect of two chitosan solutions on the release of root dentin matrix proteins and to describe the chemical changes observed following conditioning with chelating agents.
Materials And Methods: The release of dentin sialoprotein (DSP), transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) with different chelating agents, including ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), chitosan solution (CS), and nanoparticulate chitosan (CSnp), was investigated. DSP was quantified using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Objectives: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the association of cigarette smoking with the prevalence of post-endodontic apical periodontitis in humans.
Materials And Methods: We searched through PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, and Scopus from inception to December 2020. Risk of bias was performed by using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control studies.
Aims: To compare the effect of CS and CSnp on the wettability in root dentine with other irrigation protocols with an experimental model prior regenerative endodontics. . An experimental study that included eighty hemisected human root distributed into 8 groups: G1- distilled water; G2- 1% NaOCl/17% EDTA; G3- hypochlorous acid 0.

The aim of the present study was to analyze clinically and radiographically, at different intervals of time, some of the risk factors present in ETT that developed VRF.
Methods: A classification model according to time measured the follow-up period of three groups.
