Article Synopsis
  • This systematic review assesses the reliability of integrated electronic apex locators (EALs) in determining working length (WL) compared to traditional methods, analyzing studies published from January 2010 to November 2024 across six countries.
  • A total of 883 articles were screened, with 10 studies meeting the criteria, showing that integrated EALs generally offered comparable or better accuracy for WL determination, particularly when using specific devices like the Gold Reciproc Motor and TriAuto ZX.
  • While integrated EALs appear to enhance endodontic treatment reliability, concerns about study bias and sample selection highlight the need for further research to better understand their effectiveness in various clinical settings.

Three different bioactive materials suitable as dentine substitutes in tooth repair have been studied: glass-ionomer cement, particulate bioglass, and calcium-silicate cement. On 15 permanent human molars, Class V cavities were prepared and the bottom of each cavity was de-mineralized by an artificial caries gel. After the de-mineralization, the teeth were restored with: (1) Bioglass®45S5 and ChemFil® Superior; (2) Biodentine™ and ChemFil® Superior; and (3) ChemFil® Superior for a complete repair.
