Introduction: The aim of this study was to perform a critical review of the literature that investigated the association between diabetes and apical periodontitis.
Methods: An electronic search was performed on PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo), and Cochrane Collaboration databases. Human studies assessing the effect of diabetes in apical periodontitis development or in healing after root canal treatment were included. The outcome was apical periodontitis.
Results And Conclusions: Nine articles were included. The results presented in the literature to date are still scarce and incipient, and the evidence for such an association is not yet conclusive. However, the published results trend to converge on a positive association between diabetes and a larger number of periapical lesions.

Background: Chronic apical periodontitis (AP) may influence the outcome of root canal treatment. Thus, it is important to diagnose AP using the best method available. This research was done to compare the diagnostic accuracy of parallel periapical radiography (PR) and different field of views (FOVs) of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Aim: This study aimed to explore the possible bidirectional interrelations between fructose-induced metabolic syndrome (MS) and apical periodontitis (AP).
Methodology: Twenty-eight male Wistar rats were distributed into four groups (n = 7, per group): Control (C), AP, Fructose Consumption (FRUT) and Fructose Consumption and AP (FRUT+AP). The rats in groups C and AP received filtered water, while those in groups FRUT and FRUT+AP received a 20% fructose solution mixed with water to induce MS.

Background: Uncertainty is present in many situations in dental practice, but must not prevent wise clinical decision-making. Dental education should acknowledge uncertainty and teach useful management strategies. This study explored if dental students are aware of, and comfortable with uncertainty.

Objectives: This randomized prospective controlled trial investigated the effectiveness of different strategies of regenerative endodontic therapy on necrotic mature anterior teeth with chronic periapical periodontitis with 18 months follow up.
Methods: A total analyzed 51 adult participant with mature single rooted teeth having necrotic pulp with chronic periapical periodontitis (PAI ≥ 3) were selected. Patients had been randomly categorized into three distinct groups (n = 17 each group).
