Pulp Regenerative Therapy using Autologous Dental Pulp Stem Cells in a Mature Tooth with Apical Periodontitis: A Case Report
The utility and feasibility of pulp regenerative therapy with autologous dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) in mature teeth with irreversible pulpitis were clinically demonstrated. On the other hand, there is no evidence of the utility of DPSCs in mature teeth with apical periodontitis. The aim of this case report is to describe the potential utility of regenerative cell therapy in mature teeth with apical periodontitis. A 44-year-old male was referred for the pulp regeneration of his maxillary first premolar with a periapical lesion. (Source: Journal of Endodontics)

Microstructural evaluation of the mineralized apical barrier induced by a calcium hydroxide paste containing iodoform: A case report
A 65-year-old man had nonsurgical retreatment using an iodoform and calcium hydroxide paste in a maxillary left canine with persistent apical periodontitis. An apical mineralized barrier (AMB) was observed 3-months postoperatively. Unfortunately, the tooth was extracted due to a cementum tear. This provided an opportunity to analyze the AMB histologically, as there is a lack of previous reports on its microstructure. (Source: Journal of Endodontics)

Diagnostic accuracy of a temporomandibular disorder pain screener in patients seeking endodontic treatment for tooth pain
This study assessed the accuracy of a TMD Pain Screener questionnaire in identifying patients with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) pain among those seeking endodontic treatment for tooth pain. It also investigated whether the screener accuracy could be improved by adding questions regarding putative predictors of TMD status. (Source: Journal of Endodontics)

4-Year Pulp Survival in a Randomized Trial on Direct Pulp Capping
This study aimed to assess pulp survival in a randomized trial on pulp lavage in adult nonpainful posterior teeth with carious pulp exposure. The treatment included complete caries excavation, direct pulp capping with mineral trioxide aggregate, and immediate restoration with composite resin. (Source: Journal of Endodontics)

Risk factors and prevalence of occupational musculoskeletal pain among endodontists in the united states
A musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) of pain, weakness, numbness or paresthesia is a common issue for dental healthcare providers. The aims of this study were to 1) identify prevalence of MSDs among endodontists in the United States, 2) to identify risk factors of MSDs among US endodontists, and 3) compare these findings to other published findings for dental providers.

Limitations and management of dynamic navigation system for locating calcified canals failure
Non-surgical endodontic teeth treatment with severe pulp canal obliteration poses challenges, primarily locating canals. By combining three-dimensional reconstruction and spatial location registration, the dynamic navigation technique uses an optical tracking system to guide the clinician to drill in real-time according to the predesigned path until access to the canal is established. Several in vitro studies and case reports have shown that calcified canal location with dynamic navigation system (DNS) is more accurate and efficient, yet the technique has limitations.
