Background: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of palatogingival groove (PGG) in maxillary incisors and its association with periapical lesions and periodontal bone loss.
Methods: CBCT images from 943 patients were included. Age, sex, and the presence of PGG were recorded.
Background: The aim of the authors was to evaluate the periapical and endodontic conditions of patients with osteoporosis and compare them with those of age- and sex-matched controls. The association between bisphosphonate (BiP) use and periapical and endodontic status in patients with osteoporosis was also investigated.
Methods: Panoramic radiographs of 711 patients with osteoporosis and 711 age- and sex-matched healthy patients were examined.
This study aimed to assess the apical extrusion of sodium hypochlorite in immature teeth caused by needle irrigation, ultrasonic irrigation, EDDY, Er:YAG, and diode lasers. Seventy-five human maxillary anterior teeth were selected. After the apical 3 mm of the roots was resected, the canal lumen was enlarged with #2 to #5 Gates-Glidden burs.

Materials And Methods: A survey consisting of 18 questions on the difficulties experienced by endodontics researchers in performing studies and writing papers was e-mailed to academics in the field of endodontics working at 202 universities. The independent risk factors were analyzed using binary logistic regression at a significance level of 0.
