TLDR
There was a high prevalence of apical periodontitis and poor technical quality root canal treatment; a strong association between AP and root filled teeth, and between the periapical health and the technical quality of the root Canal treatment.Abstract:

The global prevalence of apical periodontitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Camilla dos Santos Tibúrcio-Machado,Carina Michelon,Fabricio Batistin Zanatta,Maximiliano Schünke Gomes,J A Marin,Carlos Alexandre Souza Bier +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a meta-analysis was performed to determine the pooled prevalence of AP at the individual level and the frequency of AP in all teeth, nontreated teeth and rootfilled teeth.

Assessment of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate pulpotomy in mature permanent teeth with carious exposures
TL;DR: MTA full pulpotomy was a successful treatment option for cariously exposed pulps in mature permanent molar teeth in patients aged 11-51 years with carious exposures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcome of full pulpotomy using Biodentine in adult patients with symptoms indicative of irreversible pulpitis.
TL;DR: Full pulpotomy using Biodentine was a successful treatment option for cariously exposed pulps in mature permanent molar teeth with clinical signs and symptoms indicative of irreversible pulpitis, up to 1 year.

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: It appears that the health of periapical tissues has not majorly improved in the general population and the quality of the coronal restoration and the root filling appears to be the major predictors of apical periodontitis.

The periapical index: A scoring system for radiographic assessment of apical periodontitis
TL;DR: The PAI system is reasonably accurate, reproducible and able to discriminate between sub-populations and may be suitable for the analysis of periapical radiographs in epidemiological studies, in clinical trials and in retrospective analyses of treatment results in endodontics.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the causes of persistent apical periodontitis: a review.
TL;DR: This article provides a comprehensive overview of the causative factors of non-resolving periapical lesions that are seen as asymptomatic radiolucencies post-treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
A prospective study of the factors affecting outcomes of nonsurgical root canal treatment: part 1: periapical health.
TL;DR: Success based on periapical health associated with roots following 1°RCTx (83%) or 2°R CTx (80%) was similar, with 10 factors having a common effect on both, whilst the 11th factor 'EDTA as an additional irrigant' had different effects on the two treatments.

Periapical health related to the quality of root canal treatment in a Belgian population
TL;DR: The findings indicate that there is still a substantial need for postgraduate endodontic education in Belgium and a need for specialists in Endodontology.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new periapical index based on cone beam computed tomography.
TL;DR: The CBCTPAI offers an accurate diagnostic method for use with high-resolution images, which can reduce the incidence of false-negative diagnosis, minimize observer interference, and increase the reliability of epidemiologic studies, especially those referring to AP prevalence and severity.
