Careful management of the resected root end during endodontic surgery is critical to the overall success of the case. After resection, the root structure presents with multiple anatomical variations and considerations at both a macroscopic and microscopic level. These include root outline, canal anatomy, dentinal tubule configuration, presence of a smear layer and root canal filling material. P...

The author pays tribute to the "Grandfather" of modern oral microbiology. This review is designed not only to serve as a timely and comprehensive synthesis of our current knowledge of craniofacial tissue engineering, but also to identify immediate challenges in this dynamic field. The authors systematically review the available literature to determine the clinical efficacy and safety of biodegr...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to investigate the outcome of root-end surgery. The specific outcome of traditional root-end surgery (TRS) versus endodontic microsurgery (EMS) and the probability of success for comparison of the 2 techniques were determined by means of meta-analysis and systematic review of the literature. METHODS An intensive search of the literature was conducted to ...

Background: During root canal treatment procedures, unexpected accidents may be confronted affecting long-term prognosis just as in any other dental treatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of dental students of accidents and errors during endodontic treatment in Medical University of Babol. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 52 senior dental student...

Central Giant Cell Granulomas (CGCGs) may manifest as radiolucencies anywhere in the mandible or maxilla. In rare cases, it can appear as a localized periradicular area and mimic an endodontic lesion. This case report presents an uncommon location of CGCG which was not accurately diagnosed nor timely treated. Periodic follow ups of periapical radiolucencies after RCT are necessary. Dentists sho...

Conventional nonsurgical endodontic treatment has a high degree of clinical success, but in certain cases surgical intervention becomes necessary. This is the case report of a patient presenting with bilaterally separate periapical lesions in the maxillary anterior region. One lesion was managed by periapical surgery using a novel and safe method of separating the soft tissue mass of the periap...

Radicular lingual grooves are morphological defects, which are found most frequently in maxillary anterior teeth and are a predisposing factor for periodontal disease. They are easily overlooked as aetiologic factors, as these grooves are covered by periodontal tissues. This case report presents a successful management of a case of a maxillary lateral incisor with an associated radicular lingua...

This case report presents a 32 year old male with an oblique fractured maxillary right central incisor. The procedure used to repair the fracture included flap surgery with an intrasulcular incision and endodontic treatment. The root canal was filled with a root canal sealer and gutta-percha. After root canal obturation, fragments were luted with composite resin using a glass fibers post. After...

Cone-beam CT (CBCT) is useful for many maxillofacial applications, such as implant site imaging and diagnosis and treatment planning for orthodontics and craniofacial surgery. Dentoalveolar applications, such as carious lesion detection and characterization, assessment of the three-dimensional nature of periodontal bone topography, and various endodontic applications are less known and not as t...

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate longitudinal studies effectiveness of treatment of periodontal-endodontic lesions and the influence of periodontal or endodontic procedures through a
