Background: A systematic review of clinical studies with at least one year of follow-up was done to assess the success rate of endodontic surgery including endoscopy for magnification and illumination.
Material And Methods: Five electronic databases were searched, including MEDLINE (via PubMed), Embase, Web of Science, Scopus and the Cochrane Library of the Cochrane Collabora-tion (CENTRAL). There were no language restrictions, and the search covered the period up to October 2019. The risk of bias was evaluated with the Cochrane Collaboration tool for randomized clinical trials and the ROBINS-I tool for non-randomized studies of inter-ventions.
Results: From the 278 initially identified titles, finally 2 randomized controlled trials and 3 non-randomized studies met the inclusion criteria. All the included studies analyzed the success rate of endodontic surgery performed with the help of endoscope for magnifica-tion and illumination. The risk of bias was high for allocation sequence concealment and blinding of participants and personnel in the randomized controlled trials. The nonran-domized studies showed limitations in terms of confounding bias and blinding of outcome assessment. Endodontic surgery with the help of an endoscope is associated with high success rates (88.9-94.9%).
Conclusions: The endoscope was associated with high success rates of endodontic sur-gery in the included studies. Future studies on this topic are warranted, due to the meth-odological issues and the scarce number of randomized clinical trials. Endodontic surgery, magnification, endoscope, success.

Background: This study aimed to assess the histological and radiographic effects of sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) as a direct pulp capping (DPC) agent in immature permanent dog premolars.
Methods: A split-mouth design was employed with three healthy 4-month-old Mongrel dogs, each having 36 premolars. The premolars were randomly assigned to either SHMP or MTA.
Securing the Puncture Depth via an Endodontic Stopper in Arthrocentesis of the Temporomandibular Joint: A Technical Note.

The reported complications after arthrocentesis of the temporomandibular joint are rare, which makes it to an outpatient and safe oral and maxillofacial surgical procedure. A penetration into the middle cranial fossa is an extremely rare but serious complication for the conventional needle arthrocentesis. The simple technical modification described herein could help to easily retain the puncture depth via an endodontic silicone stopper to avoid this rare complication.

Background: The fracture of an endodontic instrument within the root canal system can occur during root canal therapy, complicating thorough cleaning and shaping. Consequently, managing the broken fragment becomes crucial.
Methods: Eighty Nickel-titanium (NiTi) #20 K-files (Mani, Tochigi, Japan) were cut 8 mm from the tip, fixed into a corkboard, and classified into five groups (n = 14 each).

Background: Endodontic file fractures are common complications of root canal treatment, and requires removal via specialized techniques such as endodontic microsurgery when the file beyond the apical foramen. It is often challenging to precisely and minimally remove a fractured file. Recently the use of dental autonomous robotic system (ATR) has shown promise in precisely and minimally in dental surgery.

Introduction: Different Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) procedures, such as membranes, bone substitute materials, and Autologous Platelet Concentrates (APCs), have been applied after surgical root canal treatment (SRCT), which produce different outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of regenerative procedures on the healing process following SRCT.
Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane, and the Web of Science found Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) published until February 25, 2024.
