Success and survival of post ‐restorations: six‐year results of a prospective observational practice‐based clinical study
ConclusionRelatively low success and survival rates occurred for restorations with posts after root canal treatment in a private practice setting after a follow ‐up of up to 6.5 years. Recemented crowns had a high risk of failure. (Source: International Endodontic Journal)

Influence of solvent and a supplementary step with a finishing instrument on filling material removal from canals connected by an isthmus
ConclusionThe use of eucalyptol did not improve filling material removal from Vertucci's type II molar mesial canals and isthmi. XP ‐endo Finisher R significantly enhanced removal of filling material from the canals and isthmi. (Source: International Endodontic Journal)

EDTA ‐conditioning of circumpulpal dentine induces dentinogenic events in pulpotomized miniature swine teeth
ConclusionsThe EDTA ‐conditioning of pulp cavity dentinal walls after pulpotomy induced dentinogenic events in the root pulp. Application of collagenous scaffold in the pulp cavity enhanced soft tissue growth and mineralized tissue formation along the treated circumpulpal dentine.This article is protected by copyright.

Guided root canal preparation using cone beam computed tomography and optical surface scans – an observational study of pulp space obliteration and drill path depth in 50 patients
ConclusionsThe clinical implementation of guided root canal treatment in fifty serial cases of single ‐rooted teeth with pulp space obliteration was associated with a precision that in all cases led to the location and negotiation of the root canal and completion of the treatment.

Measurement of torque generated during intra ‐canal instrumentation in vivo
ConclusionsTorque measurements duringin vivo instrumentation provided useful information regarding the techniques evaluated. Although the torque limit was not reached by any of the two actions, the technique impacted significantly on the torque applied to the instrument.This article is protected by copyright.

Effects of preparation with the Self ‐Adjusting File, TRUShape and XP‐Endo Shaper systems, and a supplementary step with XP‐Endo Finisher R on filling material removal during retreatment of mandibular molar canals
ConclusionsThe tested systems were equally effective in removing the mass of filling material from the apical 5 mm of molar canals. The supplementary step with the XP ‐endo Finisher R instrument enhanced filling material removal.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Prevalence, predictive factors and clinical course of persistent pain associated with teeth displaying periapical healing following nonsurgical root canal treatment: a prospective study
ConclusionsPersistent pain or discomfort associated with teeth showing periapical healing at the first review after NSRCT, decreased in intensity in most cases over the following 6  months. Longer‐term follow‐up revealed spontaneous improvement or symptom resolution in the majority of those with confirmed radiographic the absence of periapical disease. Five predictive factors (history of chronic pain, teeth with responsive pulps, association with pain, diagnosis of tooth crack before treatment and diameter of preoperative radiolucency) were identified.

Microguided Endodontics: a case report of a maxillary lateral incisor with pulp canal obliteration and apical periodontitis
AbstractAimTo describe a minimally invasive method to create a 3D ‐printed guide to gain access to obliterated root canals on the basis of CBCT data.SummaryA 85 ‐year‐old female ASA III was referred for root canal treatment of tooth 22. Clinically, there were no complaints, no percussion pain or sinus tract. Radiologically, the tooth had an obliterated canal with an apical radiolucency. The tooth was diagnosed with asymptomatic apical periodontitis. Mic roguided Endodontic treatment was performed with the help of a 3D‐printed guide. The root canal was localized initially with the aid of the 3D‐printed guide using...
