Background: Orthodontic and endodontic treatments are commonly studied. It has been advocated that orthodontic treatment can cause an impact on endodontically treated teeth, and root canal therapy (RCT) during orthodontic intervention can cause a halt in treatment, thus prolonging the treatment duration. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the incidence of RCT among patients subjected to orthodontic treatment.
Materials And Methods: The present retrospective study was done on 814 patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. The clinical and radiographic records were assessed for all patients, and evidence of RCT was calculated. The data were obtained about gender, type of teeth involved, and diagnosis of the condition.
Results: Out of those 658 patients who underwent orthodontic treatment in the past five years, 89 (13.53%) had undergone RCT, with the mean age being 21.38 years. A statistically significant difference (p<0.05) was found between both genders concerning diagnosis. A maximum of 24.7% of cases subjected to RCT were right mandibular first molar, followed by left maxillary first molar, and left mandibular first molar, with a statistically insignificant difference (p>0.05) between both genders concerning the type of tooth involved.
Conclusion: A significant rate of prevalence of RCT was observed among the patients undergoing orthodontic treatment, mainly involving molars. Males showed more incidence of RCT of teeth among patients subjected to orthodontic treatment. Thus, patients need to be evaluated for RCT before initiating orthodontic treatment.

Direct printed aligners (DPAs) offer benefits like the ability to vary layer thickness within a single DPA and to 3D print custom-made removable orthodontic appliances. The biocompatibility of appliances made from Tera Harz TA-28 (Graphy Inc., Seoul, South Korea) depends on strict adherence to a standardized production and post-production protocol, including UV curing.

Background And Objectives: Gingivitis and periodontitis are common periodontal diseases that can significantly harm overall oral health, affecting the teeth and their supporting tissues, along with the surrounding anatomical structures, and if left untreated, leading to the total destruction of the alveolar bone and the connective tissues, tooth loss, and other more serious systemic health issues. Numerous studies have shown that propolis can help reduce gum inflammation, inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, and promote tissue regeneration, but with varying degrees of success reported. For this reason, this comprehensive systematic review aims at finding out the truth concerning the efficacy of propolis mouthwashes in treating gingivitis and periodontitis, as its main objective.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a prevalent condition characterised by repeated episodes of partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway during sleep, leading to disrupted sleep and associated morbidities. Orthognathic surgery (OGS) has been proposed as a treatment option for OSAS, aimed at anatomically repositioning the maxillofacial structures to alleviate airway obstruction. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of OGS in reducing apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) scores among OSAS patients.

Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is an excruciating neurological disorder characterized by intense, stimulus-induced, and transient facial stabbing pain. The classification of TN has changed as a result of new discoveries in the last decade regarding its symptomatology, pathogenesis, and management. Because different types of facial pain have different clinical therapy and neuroimaging interpretations, a precise diagnosis is essential.
