A successful outcome of endodontic treatment depends to a large extent on accurate intraoperative findings. Conventionally, micromirrors and microprobes have been used for this purpose. The dental operating microscope (DOM) has been implemented to enhance visibility during dental procedures. However, the microscope, a sizable tool, remains between operating field and the dental practitioner, making his ability to manipulate more complicated. Also, the interference of the hands and the handpiece with the visualization of the surgical field and inaccurate observation of the endodontic instruments during the procedure. Endoscopy reportedly provides the dentist with excellent vision and ease of use. It also provides a better intraoperative visualization in comparison with micromirrors. Further development of endoscopy made it possible to combine magnification, light, irrigation/suction and surgical microinstruments in one device. This combination could lead to an advanced root canal treatment technique.

Referrals between otolaryngologists and dental specialists are indispensable for proper diagnosis and treatment. If the disease does not resolve after medical and root-canal treatment (RCT), tooth extraction, endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) or both are the ways of management.

Ferroptosis, an emerging paradigm of programmed cellular necrosis posited in recent years, manifests across a spectrum of maladies with profound implications for human well-being. Numerous investigations substantiate that modulating ferroptosis, whether through inhibition or augmentation, plays a pivotal role in the etiology and control of numerous age-related afflictions, encompassing neurological, circulatory, respiratory, and other disorders. This paper not only summarizes the regulatory mechanisms of ferroptosis, but also discusses the impact of ferroptosis on the biological processes of aging and its role in age-related diseases.
