Interappointment pain: mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment
José F. Siqueira,F. Barnett +1 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on the mechanisms of interappointment pain, with special emphasis placed on the causative agents and the host response to injury that can precipitate pain.

Emergency management of acute apical abscesses in the permanent dentition: a systematic review of the literature.
TL;DR: In the management of localized acute apical abscess in the permanent dentition, the abscess should be drained through a pulpectomy or incision and drainage, and it is indicated that antibiotics are of no additional benefit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of forces generated during root canal shaping and residual stresses of three nickel-titanium rotary files by using a three-dimensional finite-element analysis.
TL;DR: The study aimed to compare the stress distribution during simulated root canal shaping and to estimate the residual stress thereafter for some nickel-titanium rotary instruments, finding the original ProTaper design showed the greatest pull in the apical direction and the highest reaction torque from the root canal wall, whereas ProFile showed the least.

Effects of ultrasonic root-end cavity preparation on the root apex
Hamid R. Abedi,Bradley L. Van Mierlo,Petra Wilder-Smith,Mahmoud Torabinejad,Mahmoud Torabinejad +4 more
TL;DR: The results showed a significantly higher incidence of crack formation in the walls of root-end cavities prepared by ultrasonic tips compared with those made by the bur.

Interleukin-1 beta and interleukin-8 in healthy and inflamed dental pulps
Alessandra Cecília Oliveira Silva,Miriam Rubio Faria,Alexandra Fontes,Marcia Sampaio Campos,Bruno das Neves Cavalcanti +4 more
TL;DR: It may be concluded that inflamed pulps present higher amounts of IL-1ß and IL-8 than healthy pulps and that pulp fibroblasts stimulated by bacterial LPS produce higher levels of IL, 1ß andIL-8 more than the control group.
