Prevalence of Hypercementosis in Radiographic Studies: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis With Clinical Implications for Endodontic Assessment

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Hypercementosis is a non‐neoplastic condition characterized by excessive cementum deposition along the root surface, resulting in altered apical morphology. Although often asymptomatic and detected incidentally on radiographs, changes in apical contour may influence anatomical complexity in endodontic treatment.

Reference Values for Pulse Oximetry Testing in Permanent Teeth: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pulse oximetry is an accurate diagnostic method for assessing the condition of the dental pulp; however, the normal oxygen saturation levels for each tooth type are yet to be clearly defined. Objectives This systematic review and meta‐analysis aims to answer the question: What are the reference values for pulse oximetry testing in ...

The Role of Neuropeptide Y in Dental Pulp: Balancing Neurogenic Inflammation and Pain Modulation

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dental pulp is a densely innervated, low‐compliance tissue in which neurogenic inflammation can rapidly escalate into oedema, raised intrapulpal pressure, microvascular compromise, and pain. While Substance P (SP) and Calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP) are well‐established drivers of pulp vasodilation, the Neuroopeptide Y (NPY ...

Extended Reality in Endodontics: A Review of Current Applications and Future Potential

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Extended reality (XR) technologies, encompassing augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR), are increasingly used in endodontic education and practice. A gap exists regarding understanding of XR's applications and limitations among endodontic educators and practitioners.
