INTRODUCTION Based on Iran's 20-year prospective national vision document, Iran may be seen as the most developed country in science and technology in the region by 2025. In this report, bibliometric indicators are used to compare the research productivity in endodontics between Iran and 28 selected Asian countries. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical Subject Headings keyword-searching of PubMed up...

tooth discoloration induced by endodontic sealers, is a common finding that impairs aesthetic outcome of endodontic treatment. the aim of the present mini literature review, was to summarize the existing data on discoloration potential of different endodontic sealers. the research covered the article published in pubmed and google scholar from 2000 to 2015. the searched keywords included ‘tooth...

Biofilm biology has become an expanding field of research in human, industrial and environmental ecosystems. The knowledge accumulated suggests that organisms growing in biofilms develop properties different to those dwelling in the planktonic state. On surveying the endodontic literature it is obvious that this realization and the fact that biofilms afford the resident microorganisms protectio...

Successful management of pain emergencies is a strong component of clinical excellence. Although clinical studies indicate that comparatively few patients experience pain after endodontic procedures, it has been estimated that about 20% of patients experience moderate-to-severe pain after treatment (1, 2, 3). An additional small fraction of patients (about 1– 2%) will experience a sudden ‘flare...

INTRODUCTION To obtain essential information in clinical endodontics, cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) imaging can be used in all phases of treatment including diagnosis, treatment planning, during the treatment phase, and through post-treatment assessment and follow-up. The purpose of this article was to review the use of CBCT imaging in the diagnosis, treatment planning, and assessing th...

Robotics was successfully applied to the medical field which led to a new scope with vast areas of research; specially, robotics with dental application is relatively an untraveled area to explore. Access opening, bio mechanical preparation and obturation are the three vital steps in endodontic treatment. This procedure is time consuming and completely relies on the clinician’s mastering skills...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this survey was to illustrate statistical information about endodontic research published in pubmed index journals from the different universities of Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS A PubMed search was performed to retrieve the endodontic publications of authors affiliated to different universities of Iran. Abstracts were reviewed and unrelated articles were omitted. Citat...
