Background: Effective irrigation is crucial for successful endodontic treatment, ensuring debris removal, disinfection, and biofilm elimination. This systematic review analyzes recent advances in endodontic irrigants and activation systems.

Materials And Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar was conducted to identify relevant studies published between 2015 and 2025.

Recent evidence has underscored the significance of intestinal microbes in host growth performance, shedding light on the complex relationship between gut microbiota and host physiology. Even though Penaeus monodon exhibits notable size variations attributed to rapid growth and larger body mass, the specific association of the microbial community with body size remains unexplored. In this study, we employed a 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing approach to investigate the composition, diversity, and functional potential of gut microbiota in two populations of adult P.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigated the connection between radix entomolaris (RE) in permanent mandibular first molars and C-shaped canals (CSC) in mandibular second molars among Malaysian patients using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.
  • - Findings revealed that RE was present in 21.2% of first molars, while CSC appeared in 37.9% of second molars, with a co-occurrence rate of 6.5%.
  • - Certain demographics, like females and those from Eastern Peninsular Malaysia, showed a higher association with CSC in second molars, highlighting the need for clinicians to be cautious during examinations to avoid endodontic complications.

Background: Lasers and other energy-based devices are increasingly becoming popular in aesthetic practice. Many centers employ doctors or technicians to perform these procedures where treating doctor and operating doctor may be different. Hence the need for standard operative protocols, to be followed while performing these procedures to avoid mistakes, complications and to get optimum results.

Article Synopsis
  • Second molars are at a higher risk for periodontitis when next to third molars that are unlikely to be saved, making their health restoration crucial, especially after third molar removal.
  • The case report highlights the use of high-level laser therapy (HLLT), advanced-platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF), and low-level laser therapy (photobiomodulation [PBM]) as a combined treatment method to address infection and promote healing.
  • Results showed improvements in clinical metrics and bone regeneration at the second molar site three months after using this synergistic approach, suggesting it could be effective for treating acute infections.
