Objectives: This study evaluates the effect of different irrigation solutions for postoperative pain in the regenerative endodontic treatments (RET) of necrotic teeth with open apex.
Materials And Methods: This study included necrotic, deeply carious lower molars of 42 patients. Access cavities of the teeth were opened and working lengths were measured at the first visit. In Group 1, the root canals were irrigated with 1.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and 17% Ethylenediaminetetraacetic-acid (EDTA), in Group 2, with 1.5% NaOCl and 10% citric acid, and in the Group 3, with 1.5% NaOCl and 9% Etidronic acid (HEDP) mixture solution. Final irrigation was performed with distilled water. The canals were dried, filled with calcium hydroxide paste, and sealed with Cavit. Postoperative pain was assessed using a numerical rating scale, and Paracetamol was prescribed. At the second visit, calcium hydroxide was removed with 1.5% NaOCl, irrigated with chelators, and sealed with Sure-Seal PT 3 mm below the cementoenamel junction before composite resin filling.
Results: Postoperative pain was higher in Group 3 (p < 0.05), but analgesic consumption did not show a significant difference (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: HEDP caused significantly more postoperative pain than EDTA and citric acid (p < 0.05). While the study provided information regarding the effects of irrigation solutions on postoperative pain, further research is needed as it did not include detailed assessments of long-term periapical healing and apex closure.
Clinical Relevance: When HEDP is used as a chelation agent in RETs, it shows a higher degree of postoperative pain than EDTA and citric acid solutions.
Clinical Trial Registration: The study protocol was registered at www.

Background: Left atrial dissection is a rare and occasionally fatal complication of cardiac surgery and is defined as the creation of a false chamber through a tear in the mitral valve annulus extending into the left atrial wall. Some patients are asymptomatic, while others present with various symptoms, such as chest pain, dyspnea, and even cardiac arrest. Although there is no established management for left atrial dissection, surgery should be considered in patients with hemodynamic disruption.

Background: There are no studies that compare the outcomes and complications of single-versus two-stage revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) after primary ACLR failure. This purpose of this study is to examine clinical and functional outcomes and complications associated with single and two-stage revision ACLR after primary ACLR failure.
Methods: All patients who underwent single or two-stage revision ACLR after primary ACLR failure between 2012 and 2021 with a minimum of a 2 year follow-up were included.

Background: Posterolateral tibial plateau fractures pose significant challenges for orthopedic surgeons due to the anatomical risks associated with the posterolateral approach. Despite numerous surgical techniques available, there lacks a consensus on the optimal approach.
Methods: Articular line incision approach was employed on 12 patients suffering from posterolateral tibial plateau fractures.
