Tooth decay is common in US children, especially for children in low-income families. More than half of second-grade children have cavities. Therefore, root canal procedures are becoming more common in children. We report a case of a 2-year-old boy with a rare complication of a root canal procedure secondary to sodium hypochlorite toxicity. Sodium hypochlorite, a commonly used root canal irrigant, and its toxicity are reviewed.

Revascularization of an Autotransplanted Mature Tooth After Extraoral Root Resection: A Case Report.
Case Rep Dent

Institute of Dentistry and Oral Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Palacky University, Olomouc, Czech Republic.
The outcome of tooth autotransplantation depends mainly on the transplant tooth's anatomy-the type of donor tooth and the developmental stage of root formation. Mature teeth display a higher complication rate due to lower pulp revascularization potential, requiring root canal treatment (RCT) pre- or postoperatively to avoid postoperative complications, which extends treatment duration and cost. This report details a 39-year-old patient's autotransplantation of a mature wisdom tooth to replace the first molar after unsuccessful root canal retreatment.

Background: Pain of a chronic nature remains the foremost concern in tertiary spine clinics, yet its elusive nature and quantification challenges persist. Despite extensive research and education on low back pain (LBP), the realm of diagnostic practices lacks a unified approach. Clinically, LBP exhibits a multifaceted character, encompassing conventional assessments of severity and disability, alongside nuanced attributes like pain characterization, duration, and patient expectations.

Department of Preventive and Community Medicine, Habib Thameur Hospital, Tunis, Tunisia.
Context: Despite its undeniable advantages, the rubber dam (RD) is still struggling to claim its rightful place as the most effective used isolation tool in endodontics. The study aimed to estimate the prevalence of RD use during endodontic treatment and to identify factors associated with its use by Tunisian dentists.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted.

Aim To compare the quality of obturation using WVC (warm vertical compaction), CLC (cold lateral compaction), injectable (iFill), and Thermafil (GuttaCore) techniques, along with hydraulic condensation of bioceramic (BC) sealer, and evaluating the percentage of gutta-percha (GP), sealer, and voids in simulated internal resorptive lesions, using an advanced stereomicroscope with ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA). Methods and material In this study, 40 freshly extracted maxillary incisors were collected, and endodontic instrumentation was done to working length using hand K-files. Simulated internal resorption cavities were created in the middle-apical third of the roots after horizontal sectioning and were re-cemented.

Background: () is one of the microorganisms responsible for the pathology of root canals. We aimed in this study to determine the efficacy of two different pastes (calcium hydroxide combined with saline and calcium hydroxide combined with propolis) as a dressing material in eradicating from infected root canals.
Methods: Twenty extracted single-rooted and single-canalled first premolars randomly distributed into two equal groups of 10 teeth each.
