Published: February 2016

Background: Aim of this study is to compare the clinical and radiographic success of non-surgical endodontic therapy in patients receiving intravenous zolendronate less than 1 year and more than 1 year.

Methods: The clinical and radiographic follow-up data of 24 patients who were receiving IV zolendronate with 37 teeth were retrieved from the archives to evaluate clinical and radiographic healing at the end of 12 months after non-surgical endodontic therapy. The clinical and radiographic scores of teeth treated with non-surgical endodontic therapy were analyzed.

Results: The amount of non-healed and incomplete healed teeth in patients receiving zolendronate more than 1 year were more than the amount of teeth of non-healed and incomplete healed in patients receiving bisphosphonates less than 1 year (p <0.05).

Conclusions: There was a strong relationship between the duration of the bisphosphonate medication and endodontic success.

This study aimed to evaluate the performance of a deep learning-based segmentation model for predicting outcomes of non-surgical endodontic treatment. Preoperative and 3-year postoperative periapical radiographic images of each tooth from routine root canal treatments performed by endodontists from 2015 to 2021 were obtained retrospectively from Thammasat University hospital. Preoperative radiographic images of 1200 teeth with 3-year follow-up results (440 healed, 400 healing, and 360 disease) were collected.

Background: This randomized clinical trial aimed to evaluate the effect of intracanal cryotherapy with 2-4 °C normal saline irrigation on post-operative pain after single-visit non-surgical root canal retreatment.

Methods: Forty-six single-rooted, single-canal teeth requiring non-surgical root canal retreatment were randomly assigned to two groups (n = 23): a cryotherapy group and a control group. All the treatments were completed during a single visit.

Objective: To evaluate the outcome of teeth filled with a single cone technique and a premixed bioceramic sealer at 3 years of follow-up.

Methods: Healthy patients were consecutively treated by a cohort of postgraduate operators. Root canal filling procedures were performed with NiTi rotary instrumentation, while non-surgical retreatments were performed using NiTi reciprocating instruments.
