Intracanal calcification following regenerative endodontic treatment: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objectives: Calcification is a common finding in endodontic cases after regenerative endodontic therapy (RET). We aimed to identify the prevalence of intracanal calcification after RET and to compare intracanal calcification outcomes in RET using either calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)] or antibiotics.

Materials And Methods: We searched PubMed, Web of Science, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, and Scopus databases for clinical, cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort RET studies published until May 2020 in the English language and reporting a calcified case after RET.

Assessment of the prevalence and configuration of middle distal canals in the mandibular molars in a Saudi subpopulation using Cone-Beam computed tomography.

Purpose: The prevalence of the middle distal (MD) canal in the mandibular molar is significantly low among countries including the USA, Spain, Turkey, and Jordan; however, analysis of its prevalence and configuration has not been performed in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, we aimed to assess the prevalence and configuration of the MD canal in Saudi Arabia.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 132 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images was performed to evaluate the presence of the MD canal in patients visiting the Radiology Department of The College of Dentistry in King Saud University between July 2018 and July 2019.

Evaluation of root canal morphology of mandibular premolars in a Saudi population using cone beam computed tomography: A retrospective study.

Objective: To investigate the root canal morphology of mandibular first and second premolars using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) in a Saudi population.

Methods: CBCT images of 707 patients, number of roots and canal configuration were identified and categorized according to Vertucci classification. Bilateral symmetry and association between gender and number of roots, as well as gender and root canal configuration were investigated.

Cone-Beam Computed Tomographic Evaluation of Root Canal Morphology of Maxillary Premolars in a Saudi Population.

Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the root canal morphology of maxillary first and second premolars in a Saudi population using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT).

Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study assessed CBCT images of 707 Saudi patients. The number of roots and canal configuration were identified based on Vertucci's classification.
