Article Synopsis
- A study investigates the link between apical periodontitis (AP) and elevated serum inflammatory factors that might trigger insulin resistance (IR), aiming to understand the potential impact of root canal treatment (RCT) on inflammation and insulin response.
- Results showed untreated AP patients had significantly higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, IL-8) compared to healthy controls, suggesting a connection between AP and systemic inflammation.
- Post-treatment, patients with AP displayed reduced cytokine levels and an improved insulin response, indicating that RCT may alleviate inflammation and its effects on insulin sensitivity.
This study investigated variation in working length during multiple-visit endodontic treatment. Patients (N = 106) with pulpitis or pulp necrosis, with or without apical periodontitis, were included. During the first appointment, glide path was performed with ProGlider and shaping with ProTaper Next.

Sixty mesial canals of first mandibular molars were randomly assigned between two groups (n = 30). After canal scouting with K-File #10, glide path and shaping were carried out with TN or PTNm systems.
