Prevalence, classification and dental treatment requirements of dens invaginatus by cone-beam computed tomography.

Background: This study aimed the evaluation of the prevalence, characteristics, types of dens invaginatus (DI) and co-observed dental anomalies to understand dental treatment requirements in anterior teeth that are susceptible to developmental anomalies by using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Methods: In this retrospective study, the anterior teeth of 958 patients were evaluated by using CBCT for the presence of DI. The demographic features, types of DI and treatment requirements were also recorded.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to discuss the importance of recognition and classification of AMFs.

Effectiveness of Various Final Irrigation Techniques on Sealer Penetration in Curved Roots: A Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy Study.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of various techniques used for final irrigation on sealer penetration in the apical one-third of curved root canals. . Sixty-five freshly extracted maxillary first molar teeth with mesiobuccal roots having more than 20° of root curvature were used.

A bibliometric analysis of the 103 top-cited articles in endodontics.

The purpose of this study was to identify the 100 top-cited articles in endodontics and analyse their bibliometric characteristics. The Web of Science database was reviewed to identify the relevant articles. : One hundred and three articles were included because the last four articles had the same number of citations.

Treatment of extraoral cutaneous sinus tracts with non-surgical endodontic intervention: report of six cases.

Clinically, extraoral sinus tracts of endodontic origin may be confused with a wide variety of diseases. Thus, the differential diagnosis of this clinical dilemma is of paramount importance in providing appropriate clinical care because misdiagnosis of this condition may result in healing failure or unnecessary treatments. For this reason, a dental cause must be considered for any cutaneous sinus tract involving the face or neck.
