Endodontic therapy aims at preventing or curing apical periodontitis. To conduct this, the cleaning and shaping of the canals are essential. By using an irrigant, such as sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), practitioners attempt to wash out debris, dissolve organic and inorganic tissue, lubricate the canals, prevent smear layer formation, and disrupt biofilms.

Regenerative endodontic therapy (RET) of young permanent teeth with necrotic pulps and apical periodontitis in young people, deciduous tooth pulp may be utilized as a natural, biologic scaffold. Recent developments in stem cell biology and material sciences are beneficial for new treatment methods. Previously traumatized and necrotic young permanent tooth was treated with RET protocol.

Diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis (DSO) is a non-bacterial disease of the jawbone, characterized by intermittent pain, swelling, and a mixture of osteosclerosis and osteolysis on radiographs. Its etiology remains unclear, and a standard treatment, based on clear diagnostic criteria, has not been established. We present the case of a 48-year-old male patient, who was initially diagnosed with chronic mandibular osteomyelitis due to apical periodontitis in the right lower second premolar, and underwent antimicrobial medication and surgical therapy based on computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and bone scintigraphy.

Objectives: To evaluate cases of persistent apical periodontitis (PAP) and what are the imaging and clinical aspects that could be considered in the PAP diagnosis and in their treatment decision-making process.
Methodology: 423 patients with apical periodontitis at the time of non-surgical root canal treatment (NSRCT) were followed-up for at least 1 year. Periapical radiographic images were used to compare and determine periapical status at each time using the PAI scoring system.

Internal root resorption (IRR) is a rare but complex condition characterized by progressive destruction of the internal dentin walls, typically resulting from chronic pulp inflammation, trauma, or infection. Managing apical IRR, particularly in teeth with extensive apical lesions, presents significant challenges due to the limitations of traditional root canal treatment (RCT) and obturation techniques. This report discusses the nonsurgical management of two contralateral mandibular first molars in a 49-year-old male patient, both exhibiting apical IRR and large endodontic lesions.
