Responding to Interprofessional Microaggressions: Bystander Training-A Virtual Simulation Curriculum for Internal Medicine Residents.

Introduction: Literature demonstrates the detrimental impact of discrimination and microaggressions at personal and institutional levels in the health care workplace. Residents in our program requested curricula to help with addressing manifestations of bias. In response, we designed and implemented an adaptable and reproducible 4-hour virtual simulation session aimed at helping residents identify and constructively respond to microaggressions.

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.

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.

Factors Related to the Outcomes of Cracked Teeth after Endodontic Treatment.

Introduction: Cracked teeth are a common clinical finding; however, their presence renders diagnosis and prognosis unreliable. The purpose of this research was to assess the correlations of multiple factors on the prognosis of cracked teeth that had undergone endodontic treatment.

Methods: A total of 3680 patients who received endodontic treatment by an advanced postdoctoral education program in endodontics with follow-up records of at least 1 year were assessed.

Bacteria induce osteoclastogenesis via an osteoblast-independent pathway.

Bacteria or their products may cause chronic inflammation and subsequent bone loss. This inflammation and bone loss may be associated with significant morbidity in chronic otitis media, periodontitis, endodontic lesions, and loosening of orthopedic implants caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-contaminated implant particles. Currently, it is not clear how bacteria or endotoxin-induced bone resorption occurs and what cell types are involved.
