Background: Endodontically treated teeth should be prosthodontically managed properly to add life to the teeth, and hence the main aim of this study was to explore awareness, attitude, and practice of dental practitioners toward management of endodontically treated teeth and factors associated with it.
Materials And Methods: It was a cross-sectional, descriptive questionnaire study conducted among dental practitioners working in private clinics. The study was conducted in August 2019. The survey was conducted among 239 participants. In this study, a close-ended interview schedule was prepared for perception and practice of dental specialists.
Results: Most of the dental professionals (31.79%) preferred full coverage crown for restoring the grossly decayed endodontically treated teeth. Awareness regarding prosthodontic management of endodontically treated teeth was better among specialists (13.75%) than bachelor's degree holders. Attitude was neutral among most of the study participants (46.86%) and practice scores toward prosthodontic management of endodontically treated teeth was good. Gender and degree were significantly associated ( = 0.02*) ( = 0.05*), ( = 0.00***) ( = 0.05*) with awareness and practice of study participants.
Conclusion: A majority of study subjects in this study had moderate awareness, neutral attitude, and good practice regarding restoration of endodontically treated teeth.

Nd: YAP Laser in the Elimination of Endodontic Nickel-Titanium Files Fractured in Rooted Canals (Part 1: Teeth With Minimal Root Curvature).

Background Fracture of nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) instruments in root canals is commonly associated with compromised outcomes in endodontic treatment. There is no single, universally accepted approach for managing this complication. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an Nd: YAP laser-assisted protocol in removing fractured Ni-Ti files in teeth with minimal root curvature (less than 15 degrees).

Pulp chamber and root canal obliteration (PCO/RCO) presents a challenge for clinicians when nonsurgical endodontic treatment is indicated. Guided endodontics (GE) aims to precisely locate the root canal (RC) system while preserving as much pericervical dentin as possible. GE involves integrating cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) of the affected tooth with a digital impression of the maxillary/mandibular arch, allowing for careful planning of the drilling path to the RC system through a three-dimensional (3D) static guide.

Purpose: To examine the impact of placing plain and impregnated retraction cords for two different retraction times on the postoperative gingival margin level and periodontal health.
Materials And Methods: A total of 40 endodontically treated mandibular first molars were selected and randomly allocated into four groups (n = 10/group); A: plain retraction cord for 10 min, B: plain retraction cord, 20 min, C: impregnated (25% aluminum chloride (AlCl) retraction cord, 10 min, D: impregnated retraction cord (25% AlCl), 20 min. Intraoral digital scans were acquired, and periodontal parameters (Plaque index [PI], Bleeding on probing [BOP], and probing depth [PD]) were assessed at baseline, 7 days, and 28 days after retraction.

Pulpotomy, which belongs to vital pulp therapy, has become a strategy for managing pulpitis in recent decades. This minimally invasive treatment reflects the recognition of preserving healthy dental pulp and optimizing long-term patient-centered outcomes. Pulpotomy is categorized into partial pulpotomy (PP), the removal of a partial segment of the coronal pulp tissue, and full pulpotomy (FP), the removal of whole coronal pulp, which is followed by applying the biomaterials onto the remaining pulp tissue and ultimately restoring the tooth.

Objective: Chemicals used during canal disinfection and endodontic sealers have a deleterious effect on dentin bond strength. The aim of this study was to evaluate a novel clinical sequence to improve the resin-dentin microtensile bond strength (μTBS) to endodontically treated teeth.
Materials And Methods: Twenty human molars were distributed in four experimental groups (n = 5, N = 20): C-control group without exposure to any endodontic chemical substances (2.
