Introduction: This study compared the intensity of postobturation pain after unintentional apical extrusion of calcium silicate-based root canal sealers (EndoSequence BC Sealer [Brasseler USA, Savannah, GA] and Bio-C Sealer [Angelus, Londrina, PR, Brazil]) with a resin-based sealer (AH Plus; Dentsply Sirona, York, PA).
Methods: A total of 330 patients referred for root canal treatment on molar teeth with asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis were recruited. Root canals were prepared using WaveOne Gold instruments (Dentsply Sirona) in a crown-down technique and irrigated with 2% chlorhexidine gel and saline solution. Next, patients were randomly distributed into 3 groups according to the root canal sealer used (n = 110): AH Plus, BC Sealer, and Bio-C Sealer. Root canal filling was then accomplished with a vertical compaction technique. Patients presenting with an unintentional extrusion of sealers (n = 13/group) were assessed for postobturation pain experience using a visual descriptor scale ranging from 0-10 at 6-, 12-, 24-, and 48-hour and 1-week intervals after treatment. Mixed analysis of variance repeated measures were used to assess the results (α = 0.05).
Results: The extrusion rate was similar for all sealers (~12%). There was no significant difference in the postobturation pain results between the root canal sealers evaluated (P > .05). However, after the time interval of 12 hours, AH Plus (P = .04073) and Bio-C Sealer (P = .04327) demonstrated a significant reduction in pain, whereas BC Sealer did not show differences in pain intensity, even in the maximum period evaluated of 1 week (P > .05).
Conclusions: The occurrence of unintentional apical extrusion of calcium silicate-based root canal sealers presents similar postoperative pain results compared with resin-based sealers with low-intensity pain.

Biomechanical Behaviors of Molars Restored with Endocrowns Composed of Different Materials.

Department of Cariology and Endodontology, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology, Beijing 100101, China.
To assess the biomechanical behaviors of endodontically treated molars (ETMs) restored with endocrowns composed of different materials, forty mandibular molars were assigned to five groups (n = 8 each). Untreated molars constituted the control group (group C); the rest of the teeth that underwent root canal therapy were restored with endocrowns composed of polycrystalline ceramics (ST zirconia, UPCERA) in group ZR, lithium disilicate glass ceramics (UP.CAD, UPCERA) in group LD, resin-based nanoceramics (Hyramic, UPCERA) in group NC, and feldspathic ceramics (CEREC Blocs, Sirona) in group FC.

: This systematic review aimed to compare the effect of chitosan in smear layer removal with other commonly used chelators during root canal treatment. : The PRISMA guidelines were followed. Ex vivo studies performed in non-endodontically treated extracted human permanent teeth with a fully formed apex, in which sodium hypochlorite was the main irrigant and chitosan was used as final irrigation to observe its capacity to remove the smear layer using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), were included.

Department of Agr. Machinery and Technology Engineering, Akdeniz University, Antalya, Turkey.
Background: Examining stress distributions in abutment teeth with periapical lesions is essential for understanding their biomechanical impact on dental structures and tissues. This study uses finite element analysis (FEA) to evaluate these stress patterns under occlusal forces, aiming to enhance treatment strategies and prosthetic designs.
Methods: Three FEA models were created: a healthy mandibular premolar (Model 1), a premolar with a single crown and a lesion repaired using a fiber-post (Model 2), and 3) a premolar with a lesion repaired using fiber-post to support a four-member bridge (Model 3).

Objective: To investigate the clinical application effect of the along-axis extraction method in the extraction of impacted mandibular third molars (IMTM) and to compare the biomechanical characteristics of different root extraction techniques through three-dimensional finite element analysis.
Methods: A total of 68 patients requiring IMTM extraction were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group underwent the along-axis extraction method, while the control group underwent the traditional buccal bone removal and root extraction method. The duration of the procedure, intraoperative and postoperative complications were recorded.
