Aim: This study aims to assess the use of antibiotics among dentists in performing endodontic procedures.
Methodology: A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a pretested, structured, and validated questionnaire approved by the institutional ethics committee. It included questions on demographics, choice, frequency, and duration of antibiotics use in endodontic practice. The survey link was distributed electronically. Results were tabulated and analyzed using descriptive statistics.
Results: Only 6.5% of them reported that root canal treatment does not require an antibiotic regime. Clinical years of experience do not have any significant impact on antibiotic prescribing practices among dentists.
Conclusion: The survey reveals issues with the inadvertent use of antibiotics, including their types and frequency, and highlights gaps in theoretical knowledge and antibiotic-prescribing practices among general dentists.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the temperature changes of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) after the use of different activation techniques: passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), XP-Endo Finisher (XP), and Easy Clean (EC).Thirty patients were selected for this randomized crossover study and each patient received root canal treatment in maxillary incisor. Each tooth was subjected to three activation techniques in a random order in the final irrigation of the treatment.

Reports on the histopathologic features of pulp tissue following traumatic injuries are scarce. The aim of the present clinical and histological report was to provide some novel insights about the histological condition of the pulp tissue of an immature permanent tooth, shortly after a combined injury of uncomplicated crown fracture with concomitant subluxation. A seven-year-old male patient presented with a localized buccal swelling apically on tooth #21 and with a radiographic app.

Odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS) is a condition presenting to both the dental and otolaryngologic practitioner. Common causes of OMS include dental implants, displacement of a maxillary tooth root tip during extraction, migration of materials used in root canal therapy or graft material in sinus lift procedure. A 68-year-old male patient presented with complaints of repeated episodes of sinusitis for about 3 months which was not responding to conservative management.

Aim: This study investigated the correlation between microbiota of caries-free enamel and caries-affected dentine biofilms and that of root canals with primary apical periodontitis, by using an Illumina MiSeq platform.
Methodology: Biofilm from caries-free enamel surface (Biofilm-C) or caries-affected dentine (Biofilm-E) and root canal paper point samples (Canal) were collected from 31 teeth with primary apical periodontitis. Microbial composition was analysed by amplicon sequencing that targeted the V3-V4 region of 16S rRNA gene.
