Long‐Term Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes of Large Periapical Lesions Managed by Non‐Surgical and Surgical Endodontic Treatment: A Case Series [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT The management of large periapical lesions is challenging, as lesion size alone does not predict treatment outcome or mandate surgery. This case series presents three large periapical lesions with 4‐ to 12‐year follow‐up, illustrating different therapeutic pathways.

Microbiome of Apical Intracanal and Extraradicular Biofilms From the Same Roots of Teeth With Persistent Apical Periodontitis: An Observational Study

International Endodontic Journal, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 806-818, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Bacterial biofilms around the apex are crucial in disease progression and persistence of apical periodontitis. While intracanal biofilms initiate infection, extraradicular biofilms contribute to treatment resistance and persistence. Thus, a comprehensive understanding of these biofilms may help elucidate mechanisms underlying persistent ...

Gentamicin‐Loaded Carbonate Apatite with Dual Antibacterial and Osteogenic Functions for Combating Surgical Site Infections

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 8, 23 February 2026.
A bone substitute with gentamicin physically precipitated onto the surface of carbonate apatite exhibits prompt drug release, high bactericidal activity, and osteogenic capacity. Efficient antibacterial activity mitigates early postoperative neutrophil accumulation, the status of which may serve as a potential parameter for evaluating the antibacterial
