Abstract
INTRODUCTION Endodontic retreatment is essential for periapical healing, involving the removal of inadequate fillings, thorough cleaning, and new filling application to prevent leakage. This study compares the dissolving abilities of Eucalyptus, Orange, and Castor oils in the re-treatment of resin-based endodontic fillings using conventional and rotary techniques. METHODOLOGY Thirty single-rooted human teeth were prepared and filled with gutta-percha and AH Plus sealer. They were divided into three groups (n=10) based on the solvent used (Eucalyptus, Orange, or Castor oil) and further subdivided based on the techniques used (conventional and rotary). Standardised re-treatment procedures were performed, and the amount of residual material was measured. RESULTS A significant difference (p<0.001) was found among the groups, indicating that both the type of solvent and the technique significantly affected the amount of residual material. The rotary technique generally left less residual material compared to the conventional technique for all solvents. Eucalyptus oil with the rotary technique showed the least residual material (mean = 5.8), while Castor oil with the conventional technique showed the most (mean = 10.2). CONCLUSION Eucalyptus oil, especially when used with rotary techniques, is highly effective in removing resin-based endodontic fillings, providing a viable and safer alternative to traditional solvents. The study underscores the importance of selecting appropriate solvents and techniques for successful endodontic re-treatment.

Hussain MA, Singh SK, Naz S, Haque M, Shah HK, Singh A. Predictors of apical periodontitis in root canal treated teeth from an adult Nepalese subpopulation: a cross-sectional study. BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:400. [PMID: 38553672 PMCID: PMC10979567 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-04139-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2023] [Accepted: 03/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Endodontic literature search revealed that no study has been conducted to evaluate the prevalence of apical periodontitis (AP) in root canal treated teeth from an adult Nepalese population of Madhesh Province. Consequently, little is known about the extent and risk factors associated with it. This study aimed to determine AP prevalence in root canal treated teeth from an adult Nepalese subpopulation and to analyze the related risk factors including age, sex, tooth type, type of coronal restoration and quality of root canal treatment and coronal restoration as predictors of AP. METHODS Digital panoramic radiographs were evaluated. Periapical status of 300 root canal-treated teeth was scored by using the periapical index. The quality of root canal treatment and coronal restorations were categorized as adequate or inadequate through radiographic and clinical evaluation. The data were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression models. RESULTS Prevalence of AP in the present study was 31.7%. In 45.7% of the treated teeth, quality of root canal treatment was adequate whereas 46% of the cases had adequate coronal restorations. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed statistically significant associations and remarkably increased risk for AP in teeth with inadequate root canal treatment (odds ratio [OR] = 7.92; 95% CI: 3.96-15.82; p < 0.001) whereas lower risk for AP was found in females (OR = 0.51; 95% CI: 0.28-0.90; p = 0.021) and in teeth restored with crown (OR = 0.22; 95% CI: 0.09-0.51; p < 0.001) and filling (OR = 0.18; 95% CI: 0.08-0.42; p < 0.001). Quality of coronal restoration, tooth type and age of the patient were not found to be the predictors of AP. CONCLUSIONS Within the limits of this study, a high prevalence of AP and poor overall quality of root canal treatment and coronal restoration was found in the subpopulation studied. Quality of root canal treatment, type of coronal restoration and sex of the patient are significant predictors of possible AP development in root canal treated teeth. Substantial efforts are needed to improve the endodontic treatment standards.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies on risk factors affecting tooth retention after endodontic treatment in dental school settings are limited. Understanding these factors is crucial for preserving teeth. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate patient- and tooth-level risk factors associated with the survival of endodontically treated teeth. METHODS Electronic health records of patients who underwent endodontic treatment at the School of Dental Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania from 2017 through 2020 were analyzed. Patient-level factors included age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status Classification, smoking history, diabetes status, and amoxicillin allergy. Tooth-level factors included position, presence of restorations, and periodontal conditions with preprosthetic treatments. RESULTS The results of this study indicate that the patient-level factors significantly associated with tooth retention included age, sex, American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Classification Status, and amoxicillin allergy. Tooth-level factors such as core buildup, full-coverage crown, healthy periodontium, and scaling and root planing were also associated with higher survival rates. Mandibular premolars had higher survival rates than mandibular molars. CONCLUSIONS This investigation revealed that the tooth retention rate of endodontically treated teeth was 96.2% after initial root canal treatment, 92.4% for nonsurgical re-treatment, and 97.8% for surgical re-treatment. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS The tooth retention of the endodontic treatment was associated with healthy periodontium, tooth structure, tooth position, tooth restoration, and the patient's overall health.

[PMID: 38292751 PMCID: PMC10823971 DOI: 10.4103/jcde.jcde_86_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2023] [Revised: 08/06/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2024]
Abstract
Introduction This systematic review investigates the crucial need for solvent use in root canal retreatment, as it effectively removes filling materials, reduces apical debris extrusion, and alleviates postoperative pain, ultimately enhancing treatment success. The review aims to assess the success rates, compare outcomes, explore benefits and drawbacks, and identify subgroups where solvent use may be more effective during root canal retreatment. Materials and Methods The search was performed in PubMed Central, Scopus, Cochrane, LILAC, ScienceDirect, Google Search, Web of Science, and manually using the search items alone and in combination by means of PUBMED search builder. The studies were assessed for eligibility according to the eligibility criteria by two independent reviewers. Groups containing solvent with nonsolvent groups and randomized control trials were included and in vitro studies, retrospective studies, and animal studies were excluded from the study. Quality assessment was performed using the risk of bias (RoB) 2.0 tool. Results Out of the 596 articles obtained, 14 were shortlisted for full-text reading and finally two articles were included in the study. The studies were assessed for quality, and data were extracted in a tabulated form. Overall RoB is low, but due to the lack of homogeneity, meta-analysis could not be conducted. Conclusion The use of solvent does not cause any significant difference in the postoperative pain levels or analgesic intake for retrieval of gutta-percha in cases of root canal retreatment. Due to the limited number of studies available and the lack of clinician-related outcomes such as time taken to retrieve the gutta-percha, these results should be taken into consideration with caution.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the periapical status (PAS) of restored non-root-filled (RNRF) teeth amongst a group of patients attending dental teaching clinics at Jordan University of Science & Technology. It also aimed to assess the association of type and quality of coronal restorations and periapical disease. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study. To be included, participants needed to have at least 1 non-root-filled tooth restored with either direct or indirect restoration. A sample of 491 participants was examined. Clinical examination and digital periapical radiographs were used to record material used and assess the quality of the restorations. Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were used to analyse the association between PAS and gender, age, restoration material/type, and quality. RESULTS Overall, 26.3% of the participants were diagnosed with apical periodontitis (AP) on 1 or more of the examined teeth. No significant differences in the prevalence of AP were observed when comparing amalgam to composite or indirect restorations (P = .386). Furthermore, no association was reported between AP and gender or age, while a significant association was observed with the restoration's quality (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS The high prevalence of AP in the examined sample is of clinical concern and suggests that more attention should be directed towards dental health awareness in Jordan. Teeth restored with inadequate restorations were twice as likely to have AP.

Abstract
There is ample published literature regarding the technical aspects of restoring root-filled teeth, but little concerning the biological impacts, consequences, and criteria for the selection of direct restorative materials following endodontic treatment. The provision of an effective coronal seal in addition to a sound root filling is known to be important in the prevention of root canal infection. This review seeks to explore the evidence concerning the selection of dental materials in the restoration of root-filled teeth, specifically with a close examination of the properties of commonly used materials as orifice barriers. © 2023 Australian Dental Association.
