The Diagnostic Efficacy of Cone-beam Computed Tomography in Endodontics: A Systematic Review and Analysis by a Hierarchical Model of Efficacy
TL;DR: The expected ultimate benefit of CBCT imaging to the endodontic patient as evaluated by its level of diagnostic efficacy is unclear and is mainly limited to its technical and diagnostic accuracy efficacies.

Sealer Distribution in Coronal Dentin
TL;DR: Assessment of coronal distribution and color changes of four commonly used sealers placed in the pulp chamber after root canal treatment found no measurable penetration of sealer into dentin for all groups and no dentin discoloration occurred.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of preoperative acetaminophen or a combination of acetaminophen and Ibuprofen on the success of inferior alveolar nerve block for teeth with irreversible pulpitis.
TL;DR: There was no significant difference between the groups; however, there was a trend toward higher success in the medication groups, including acetaminophen and ibuprofen groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcome of nonsurgical retreatment and endodontic microsurgery: a meta-analysis
TL;DR: Endodontic microsurgery was confirmed as a reliable treatment option with favorable initial healing and a predictable outcome and may be considered as an effective way of retreatment as well as nonsurgical retreatment depending on the clinical situations.

The philosophies of dowel diameter preparation: A literature review
Patrick M. Lloyd,Joyce F. Palik +1 more
TL;DR: This article reviewed the literature regarding the diameter of dowels and identified three distinct philosophies of dowel space preparation, finding a combination of the one third and 1 mm minimal philosophies yielded a practical guideline for dowelspace preparation, particularly in aged teeth.
