Artificial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly prevalent and significant across many industries, including the dental field. AI has shown accuracy and precision in detecting, evaluating, and predicting diseases. It can imitate human intelligence to carry out sophisticated predictions and decision-making in the health-care industry, especially in endodontics.

- Tooth bleaching has gained popularity as a conservative method for whitening discolored teeth, using oxidizing chemicals that affect both enamel and dentin.
- A study was conducted in South India to assess dental practitioners' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding the management of discolored front teeth, utilizing a validated questionnaire.
- Findings revealed significant differences in preferences between endodontists and general dentists regarding techniques and materials, with women showing a higher demand for whitening treatments; in-office bleaching emerged as the preferred method.
Aim: The purpose of the present study was to compare the efficacy of three different file systems in removing gutta-percha during endodontic retreatment with or without solvents.
Materials And Methods: The current study used 120 freshly extracted, single-rooted human mandibular premolars extracted for orthodontic procedures. The canal was prepared utilizing the step-back technique and obturation was done.
Background: Dentin hypersensitivity is described as "short sharp pain arising from exposed dentin in response to various stimuli typically thermal, evaporative, tactile, osmotic or chemical and cannot be ascribed to any other form of dental defect or disease." Dentine hypersensitivity can be treated with various desensitizing agents ,where oral rinse has a promising effect in delivering the therapeutic effect all over the tooth surface including interproximal areas, as they can flow and reach areas where toothpastes are not much effective, hence the occlusion of dentinal tubules using Ayurdhantam medicated an herbal mouthwash was evaluated.
Methodology: Twenty such dentinal blocks were obtained; the surfaces of each dentin block were polished using a silicon carbide disc for 30 s to create a basic smear layer.
