A cone-beam computed tomography study of root canal morphology of maxillary and mandibular premolars in a Turkish population
TL;DR: Evaluating the root canal number and configuration of maxillary and mandibular premolar teeth by gender, intervals for decades, tooth position and unilateral or bilateral occurrence in a Turkish population using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanning found that females had one root canal of the mandibULAR premolar, whereas males had two or three canals.

TL;DR: To compare the favorable outcome of root canal treatment determined by periapical radiographs (PRs) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans, ninety-six roots of dogs' teeth were used to form four groups.

Differential expression of microRNAs in normal and inflamed human pulps.
TL;DR: The data identify differential expression of miRNAs in healthy and diseased human dental pulps and explore their functional gene targets, highlighting the intricate and specific roles of miRNA in inflammation and immunity, both of which are key aspects of pulpal pathology.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Use of Cone-beam Computed Tomography and Digital Periapical Radiographs to Diagnose Root Perforations
TL;DR: The risk to misdiagnose strip perforations was high with both methods, but CBCT scans showed a significant higher sensitivity than PR, and there was no significant difference between the methods for the detection of root perforation.

Number of teeth, prevalence of caries and periapical lesions in insulin-dependent diabetics.
TL;DR: On the whole, diabetic and non-diabetics exhibited a similar caries frequency but among the diabetics there was a group of individuals who had more periapical lesions than the non-Diabetics.
