Purpose: To explore the clinical efficacy of Nd:YAG laser combined with Vitapex paste in the treatment of periapical cysts around single root.
Methods: Thirty-four teeth with periapical cysts in 34 patients were treated from August 2014 to August 2016 in Taizhou People's Hospital using Nd: YAG laser, Vitapex paste was injected into the small periapical cysts, followed by conventional root canal filling. The clinical efficacy was observed every 3 months after surgery, the follow period was from 10 months to 2 years.
Results: Thirty four patients with 34 teeth were treated, and 32 teeth were followed up, 29 were cured, the failure rate was 6.3%.
Conclusions: Nd:YAG laser combined with Vitapex paste is satisfactory in the treatment of periapical cysts around single root, which is worthy of wide clinical application.

Introduction/purpose: Nusinersen, the first treatment approved for all spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) types, is administered intrathecally through lumbar puncture. We used ultrasound assistance or a landmark-based technique to access the lumbar intrathecal space in adult SMA patients. This study aimed to evaluate the technical success and adverse events (AEs) in such patients using either technique over a long observation period.

Article Synopsis
- Endodontic infections include issues like pulp necrosis and abscesses, where identifying harmful bacteria like Enterococcus faecalis and others is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment.
- A systematic review analyzed the prevalence of these bacteria using the Checkerboard DNA-DNA hybridization technique across 17 studies, evaluating 620 samples, finding high prevalence rates (74% for E. faecalis, 63% for P. gingivalis, etc.).
- The presence of these bacteria can hamper endodontic therapy effectiveness and is often linked to recurring infections, making DNA-DNA hybridization a valuable and efficient tool for tailored endodontic treatments.
