AI Article Synopsis
- Dens evaginatus (DE) is a dental malformation that complicates root canal treatments, with the study focusing on a type V case where splits were used as guides for access cavity preparation.
- The treatment involved using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to diagnose DE and advanced implant planning software to create a stereolithographied split for a minimally invasive approach.
- The findings suggest that CBCT provides crucial internal anatomical details, while using digital technology can enhance the efficiency of root canal treatment and aesthetic tooth restoration in a single appointment.
Article Abstract
Aim: Dens evaginatus (DE) is described as an unusual dental malformation. Tooth structure variations attached to this anatomical disturbance complicates the performance of a conservative access cavity for a conventional root canal treatment. Author's purpose is to describe the treatment of a type V DE by using splits as guides to perform access cavity.
Clinical Considerations: This clinical case shows a root canal treatment of a type V DE diagnosed by using a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Access cavity was planned through an osseointegrated implant planning software and guided by a stereolithographied split. After endodontic treatment, tooth was sculpted for placing a veneer, processed by a chair-side system in a single session.
Conclusions: CBCT is an effective method for obtaining internal anatomical information of teeth with anatomical malformations. The osseointegrated implant planning software is an effective method for planning root canal treatment and designing stereolithograped splits (for performing minimally invasive access cavities).
Clinical Significance: Stereolithographed splints allow performing a guided and conservative access cavity of teeth affected by dental malformations whereas digital technology allows us to esthetically reconstruct a tooth in a single session.

The aim of this narrative review is to synthesize and discuss existing evidence on the epidemiological aspects of dental pain, addressing its prevalence, risk factors, population distribution, impact on the quality of life, and implications for public health. Dental pain is a common condition that involves complex mechanisms of pain transmission and perception. Dental pain can be due to various causes, such as caries, pulpitis, periodontitis, dental trauma, and soft tissue conditions (e.

Introduction White spot lesions (WSLs) are opacities formed due to decalcification occurring in the enamel's subsurface layer. These lesions are most commonly seen in patients during and after fixed orthodontic treatment due to undisturbed accumulation of plaque. Other factors that can predispose to WSLs are enamel hypomineralization, hypomaturation, hypoplasia, and disruption in the levels of salivary calcium, phosphate, bicarbonate, and fluoride.

Introduction: According to the classic understanding of the etiology of dental caries, an imbalance between demineralization and remineralization in the oral cavity is important. Salivary antioxidants, including glutathione peroxidase and vitamin E, can modulate oxidative stress.
Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated the levels of glutathione peroxidase and vitamin E in the saliva of 90 children from Erbil City.
