TL;DR: A brief overview of the epidemiology, symptoms, and routes of transmission of this novel infection is provided and specific recommendations for dental practice are suggested for patient screening, infection control strategies, and patient management protocol.

TL;DR: There is an increased AP prevalence in the adult general population compared to data from 2012 and AP developed more frequently in females with endodontically treated teeth and in teeth with inadequate compared to adequate restorative andendodontic treatment.

TL;DR: Endodontic emergencies, with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis being the most common, consist of a much higher proportion of dental emergencies in a COVID-19 high risk area than normally.

TL;DR: This DL algorithm trained in a limited CBCT environment showed excellent results in lesion detection accuracy and overall voxel-matching accuracy may be benefited by enhanced versions of artificial intelligence.

TL;DR: It is suggested that both CHX and NaOCl can reduce bacterial infections after irrigation, without any significant difference in antimicrobial efficacy between them, and can be used as the main antibacterial root canal irrigants.

TL;DR: Evaluating the cytotoxicity and the effect of heating on the physicochemical properties of a new calcium-based root canal sealer in comparison with EndoSequence BC Sealer showed better performance on flow/viscosity and film thickness, especially under high temperatures, which are generated by the commonly used warm vertical compaction technique.

TL;DR: The 20-year golden journey on DPSCs from the unprecedented discovery to current clinical breakthroughs is summarized, suggesting future directions and challenges regarding expansion of regenerative applications and evaluation of in vivo DPSCs in diseases and therapies are suggested.

TL;DR: Revitalization in immature teeth with pulp necrosis is an additional treatment option besides placing an apical plug, leading to clinically acceptable outcomes, although with low predictability regarding the completion of root formation.

TL;DR: It is shown that although shaping using an adjustable instrument was similar between groups, disinfection was significantly compromised after root canal preparation of teeth with contracted endodontic cavities.

TL;DR: An evidence-based guideline is needed to define and correlate the basic concepts and current applications of each step of contemporary advancements in root canal instruments.

TL;DR: Bio-C Sealer and Sealer Plus BC sealers are biocompatible and present bioactive potential and the materials showed positive structures to von Kossa.

TL;DR: This study shows the potential of applying dynamic 3D navigation technology with high-speed drills to preserve tooth structure and accurately locate root canals in teeth with pulp canal obliteration.

TL;DR: Carious pulp exposures in asymptomatic mature permanent teeth can be predictably managed by pulpotomy using a tricalcium silicate cement and Appropriate coronal restoration is critical to long-term success.

TL;DR: CBCT imaging has a significant effect in determining the etiology of endodontic pathoses and in recommending treatment, and CBCT imaging is not overprescribed in the endodentic department, and the faculty members adhere to the American Association of Endodontists/American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology recommendations.

TL;DR: It can be concluded that RET yielded high survival and healing rates; and with good root development rate; however, clinical meaningful root development following RET was unpredictable.

TL;DR: Although the Reciproc Blue instrument had superior shaping ability in comparison with XP-endo Shaper, both systems performed similarly in cleaning and disinfecting root canals.

TL;DR: The DNS was more accurate and more efficient than the free hand technique in locating calcified canals in human teeth and can help clinicians avoid catastrophic mishaps during access preparation in calcified teeth.

TL;DR: Assessing tooth healing, root development, pulp vitality, and esthetics post-REPs and categorizing them into clinician- and patient-centered outcomes identified significant predictors affecting such outcomes.

TL;DR: A combined synergetic strategy, through which multicellular building blocks could be integrated with robust 3-dimensional scaffolds, might represent an optimal solution to circumvent some of the major drawbacks of the current methods in pulp regeneration while concurrently fostering their advantages.

TL;DR: It is shown that REP treatment in the cessation of ERR is a promising treatment modality for arresting ERR, warranting further clinical trials.

TL;DR: An inclined insertion into the canals decreased cyclic fatigue resistance of thermal-treated instruments with a .04 taper at all radii of curvature tested.

TL;DR: Preserving coronal dentin by using conservative endodontic cavity significantly reduced the concentration of tensile stress and the failure probability of dentin, while the maximum principal stress and failure probability were less affected by taper of canal preparation.

TL;DR: Vital pulplike tissue could be successfully regenerated in mature teeth using REPs, which was not significantly affected by the size of the apical diameter, and MRI could successfully assess this tissue in a quantitative, noninvasive manner.

TL;DR: Apart from differences in the mechanical tests and metallurgical characterization, systems with comparable instruments' dimensions and preparation protocols showed similar percentage of untouched surface areas in the root canal preparation of maxillary molars.

TL;DR: This study aimed to achieve a greater understanding of the patient perspective by evaluating the effect of root canal treatment in terms of quality of life and quality-adjusted life year (QALY) weights in comparison with patients who underwent tooth extraction.

TL;DR: None of the root fillings were void-free, with predominant open porosity persisting after long-term storage, and coronal region of all sealers had significantly greater total porosity than middle and apical regions, which were comparable.

TL;DR: Evaluating the 5- to 9-year healed and survival rates of EMS in patients who underwent EMS in 2007-2010 found root-end filling material and nonsurgical retreatment before EMS may influence the long-term outcome.

TL;DR: Instrumentation of moderately curved root canals using the XP single file and the TS file system were equally effective and maintained the original anatomy of theRoot canals and showed a similar percentage of untreated canal walls, centered ability, and minimal apical transportation.

TL;DR: The use of electrospun fibers as a drug delivery system to offer a controlled release of the antimicrobial agent, as well as the use of natural compounds, deserving future investigation are pointed to.
