Letter to the Editor: Consort Randomized Clinical Trial
I read with interest the Consort Randomized Clinical Trial published in the JOE by Ballal et al., J Endod. 2024;50:4-9. The authors deserve recognition for their investigation of the biomarker MMP-9, in an effort to correlate the diagnosis of irreversible pulpitis with the presence of this inflammatory marker. However, clarification and justification for the treatment methods used in this study would be important to clinicians that provide or will provide vital pulp therapy (VPT) procedures for their patients.

Assessing the impact of the metal artifact reduction tool on detecting furcation lesions in maxillary molars with different intracanal posts: an ex-vivo CBCT study
Considering the potential image compromise and diagnostic challenges posed by metals, this study aimed to assess the efficacy of the metallic artifact reduction tool (MAR) in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) examinations for detecting furcation lesions in upper molars treated endodontically and restored with different intracanal posts (Source: Journal of Endodontics)

Reprint of: The Effect of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate Obturation Levels on the Outcome of Endodontic Retreatment: An Observational Study
No clinical studies have examined the effect of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) obturation levels on the outcome of endodontic retreatment. This retrospective study examined treatment outcomes in three cohorts that compared overfilling, flush filling, and underfilling after orthograde retreatment using MTA.

Artificial Intelligence in Endodontic Education
The future dental and endodontic education must adapt to the current digitalized healthcare system in a hyper-connected world. The purpose of this scoping review was to investigate the ways an endodontic education curriculum could benefit from the implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) and overcome the limitations of this technology in the delivery of healthcare to patients.

Nicolau Syndrome with Severe facial ischemic necrosis after Endodontic Treatment: A Case Report
Nicolau syndrome (NS), is a rare complication resulting from intramuscular injections. It is characterized by severe pain at the injection site and the development of purplish discoloration. Only a limited number of case reports have been published documenting the adverse effects associated with the injection of calcium hydroxide (CH) beyond the apex during Endodontic treatment. Here, we present the case of a 16-year-old female with NS after the injection of CH during the root canal treatment. The radiography examination revealed distal occlusion of the right maxillary and facial arteries. (Source: Journal of Endodontics)

Revolutionizing Endodontics: Innovative Approaches for Treating Mature Teeth with Closed Apices and Apical Lesions: A Report of Two Cases
Modern tissue engineering strategies have elucidated the potential of regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) as an alternative for treating mature teeth. Here, we report two cases in which cell-based RET (CB-RET) using encapsulated allogeneic umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) in a platelet-poor plasma (PPP)-based scaffold was used in two mature teeth with pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis. After 5 years of follow-up, the healing response was satisfactory in both cases, with evidence of pulp revitalization. (Source: Journal of Endodontics)

Proposed Diagnostic Reference Levels in the Missouri/Southern Illinois Region Associated with Cone-beam Computed Tomography Use in Endodontics
Diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) are intended to improve patient safety and ensure that patient ionizing radiation doses are as low as reasonably achievable. The  purpose of this dosimetry study was to establish regional DRL levels for cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging for specialty endodontics. Another aim was to compare phantom-measured ionizing radiation dose index 1 (DI1) index doses to the manufacturer-provided dose area product (DAP) radiat ion output values for each of the CBCT machines studied, to ascertain their degree of correlation.

Comparative Analysis of Irrigation Techniques for Cleaning Efficiency in Isthmus Structures
This study aimed to evaluate the removal of a biofilm-mimicking hydrogel from isthmus structures in a simulated complex root canal system consisting of two curved root canals by Laser-activated irrigation (LAI, AdvErl Evo, Morita) and mechanical activation techniques.
