Neutrophil Extracellular Traps aggravate apical periodontitis by stimulating osteoclast formation
Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) have been described as structures composed of DNA and proteins, such as elastase and myeloperoxidase, which are able to kill bacteria extracellularly. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of NETs in bone resorption observed in pulp infection-induced apical periodontitis in mice. (Source: Journal of Endodontics)

An ex-vivo model for investigating bacterial extrusion from infected root canals during masticatory function
The extrusion of bacteria from infected root canals may lead to increase in symptoms, expansion of periapical lesions and contribution to systemic diseases. The aim of this study is to investigate a potential proof-of-concept model to study the extent to which bacteria can escape from infected root canals under dynamic loading (simulated chewing).

Effect of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (Paroxetine) on Newly Formed Bone Volume: Real-Time In Vivo Micro–computed Tomographic Analysis
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are commonly used to treat depression and anxiety. The purpose of this study was to assess in real time the effect of paroxetine, an SSRI, on newly formed bone volume (NFBV) in standardized calvarial defects (SCDs) in rats.

Effects of Rheumatoid Arthritis on the Progression of Pulpitis and Apical Periodontitis in SKG Mice
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that involves joint inflammation. Although periodontal disease reportedly contributes to RA onset, the associations of RA with pulpitis and apical periodontitis have not been described. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of immune response disruption of RA for pulpitis and apical periodontitis with SKG mice. (Source: Journal of Endodontics)

Effects of rheumatoid arthritis on the progression of pulpitis and apical periodontitis in SKG mice.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease that involves joint inflammation. Although periodontal disease reportedly contributes to RA onset, the associations of RA with pulpitis and apical periodontitis have not been described. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of immune response disruption of RA for pulpitis and apical periodontitis with SKG mice. Methods: SKG and BALB/c (control) mice were used to establish models of pulp infection. Histological studies of pulp and apical periodontal tissue were performed at 3, 5, 7, 14 and 28 days; odontoblast dynamics were analyzed by anti-Nestin staining, a...

CBCT segmentation and additive manufacturing for the management of root canals with ledges: A case report and technique.
CBCT assessment of a ledge could be useful to a clinician, however, utilising this information effectively during a treatment procedure can be challenging. Advanced additive manufacturing technologies combined with semi-automated segmentation of root canals can help simulate the ledge and help in management of these iatrogenic complications.A patient presented after unsuccessful root canal treatment with a ledge on the left mandibular first molar. A CBCT was taken, and the images imported into a segmentation software (Mimics ®, Materialise™). (Source: Journal of Endodontics)

Articaine Infiltrations of the Mandibular Lateral Incisor —Is It Volume or Location of the Infiltrations That Affect Success? A Prospective, Randomized Crossover Study
A combination labial infiltration (1.8 mL) plus lingual infiltration (1.8 mL) of 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine in the mandibular lateral incisor was found superior to a labial infiltration of 1.8 mL of the same solution. However, it is not known whether the volume or the location had the greatest effect. Therefore, the purp ose of this prospective, randomized crossover study was to determine the anesthetic efficacy of a labial infiltration of a 3.6 mL volume of 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine compared with labial infiltration (1.8 mL) plus lingual infiltration (1.8 mL) of 4% articaine with 1:100,00...
