Robot-Assisted and Haptic-Guided Endodontic Surgery: A Case Report.

There has been a significant increase in robot-assisted dental procedures in the past decade, particularly in the area of robot-assisted implant placement. The objective of this case report was to assess the initial use of the Yomi Robot's assistance and haptic guidance during endodontic microsurgery. The robot was used during the osteotomy and root-end resection of the first and second upper left premolars.

Enhancement of Antimicrobial Effect of Endodontic Sealers Using Nanoparticles: A Systematic Review.

Introduction: The elimination of biofilms during root canal therapy continues to pose a challenge due to complex anatomies and uninstrumented portions of the root canal system. The incorporation of nanoparticles in endodontic sealers is an area of interest for potentially enhancing antimicrobial activity and improving treatment outcomes. This systematic review evaluated the antimicrobial effects of various nanoparticles in endodontic sealers.

Survival of endodontically treated permanent teeth among children: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Outcome studies of nonsurgical root canal treatment (NSRCT) in permanent teeth of children are scarce. This study investigated survival and assessed the variables associated with failure of endodontically treated teeth (ETT) in 6- to 18-year-olds.

Methods: Records of subjects who received NSRCT at age 6-18 years at Boston University between 2007 and 2015 were assessed for the occurrence of untoward events.

For pulp treatment in primary teeth, rotary canal instrumentation may be modestly time efficient, but otherwise similar to manual canal instrumentation.
