Introduction: The aims were to investigate 1) the frequency of nonsurgical retreatment, root-end surgery, extraction, and further restorative treatment during a follow-up of 10-11 years after root filling and compare the frequencies according to tooth group and type of coronal restoration and 2) the timing of nonsurgical retreatment, root-end surgery, and extraction.
Methods: Data were collected from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency's register. A search for treatment codes identified teeth root filled in 2009 and the type of coronal restoration (direct, indirect, and unspecified) registered within 6 months of root filling. The root-filled teeth were followed 10-11 years, and further interventions were recorded. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were used for statistical analysis.
Results: In 2009, root fillings were registered for 215,611 individuals/teeth. Nonsurgical retreatment, root-end surgery, and extraction were undertaken in 3.5%, 1.4%, and 20% teeth, respectively. The frequency of further interventions varied with respect to tooth group and type of coronal restoration, but only slightly for endodontic retreatments. Further interventions, except for root-end surgery, were registered more often for molars and directly restored teeth (P < .001). The majority of endodontic retreatments were undertaken within 4 years, while extractions were evenly distributed over 10-11 years.
Conclusions: The frequency numbers of nonsurgical retreatment and root-end surgery were low, despite 1 in 5 root-filled teeth registered as extracted. Further interventions were most common in molars and directly restored teeth. Endodontic retreatments were performed more often during the first 4 years.

The placement of root filling materials aims to prevent the occurrence of post-treatment apical periodontitis following completion of endodontic treatment. Materials should possess properties that will not permit bacterial invasion and infection, namely excellent sealing ability and/or antibacterial properties. In root-end filling procedures or repair of root perforations, the root filling materials are placed in a particularly challenging clinical environment, as they interface with a relatively large area with the periradicular tissues.

Lasers from the erbium family have been investigated to activate irrigation with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), improving the disinfection depth of the dentinal tubules of the root canal walls during root canal treatment. However, the possibility of laser-activated irrigation (LAI) in retro-cavity preparation has not been investigated to the date. The aim of our experimental study is to evaluate the efficacy of NaOCl gel penetration inside the dentinal tubules when activated during retro-cavity preparation, comparing passive ultrasonic activation (PUI) and Er,Cr:YSGG LAI.

Aim: To compare the accuracy and treatment time of a robotic system (RS) and a dynamic navigation system (DNS) in osteotomy and root-end resection in an in vitro study.
Methodology: In this study, four identical mandibular models were created using three-dimensional (3D) printing, each model including 18 teeth. In the surgical procedures, teeth #35, #33, #32, #42, #43 and #45, along with the mesiobuccal roots of teeth #36 and #46, were specifically selected for operation on each model.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate how the experience level of two operators affects their performance and accuracy when using computer-assisted dynamic navigation (C-ADN) systems during dental procedures involving thick bone layers, specifically in osteotomy and root-end resections.
- - Results indicated that the less experienced operator exhibited significantly worse performance in terms of task-focused metrics, including longer visuomotor coordination times and higher rates of procedural errors compared to the experienced operator, who showed better overall outcomes.
- - Both operators felt that C-ADN systems improved their surgical skills and patient safety, but only the less experienced operator reported challenges related to mental workload and usability, highlighting a gap in proficiency and comfort with the technology.

Article Synopsis
- This study developed silk fibroin methacrylated (SilkMA) scaffolds infused with varying concentrations of metronidazole (MET) to treat infections in dental root-end surgeries while promoting bone healing.
- The results showed that higher MET concentrations (30%) resulted in improved mechanical properties, reduced swelling, and notable antibacterial efficacy against specific pathogens, as well as a decrease in pro-inflammatory cytokines during testing.
- Overall, the research supports the potential of these MET-laden SilkMA scaffolds as effective treatments for managing periapical lesions, enhancing both structural support and infection control.
