Article Abstract
Aim: To consider the survival of restorations in root filled and non-root filled teeth.
Methods: A data set was established consisting of patients, 18 years or older. For each patient on the database with a tooth restored with a direct or indirect restoration with or without a root filling, the subsequent history of intervention on that tooth was consulted, and the next date of intervention, if any could be found in the data set, was obtained. Thus a data set was created of restored teeth and whether they have also received root fillings, with the dates of restoration and root filling placement and the dates, if any, of re-intervention. Modified Kaplan-Meier statistical analysis was used to quantify the distribution of time to intervention.
Results: Data for over 80,000 different adult patients were analysed, of whom 46% were male and 54% female. A total of 538,967 restoration placements were obtained from the data over a period of 11 years, of which 30,073 were root fillings.
Conclusions: Examination of the survival of restorations in teeth with and without root canal fillings indicated that those with root canal fillings have shorter intervals before re-intervention than teeth without root fillings. Restorations on root canal treated anterior teeth with post and cores had the lowest survival time.

Objectives: Postoperative pain remains a significant concern in endodontics. The main aim of this clinical trial was to assess the impact of various obturation technique and sealer types on post-obturation pain and sealer extrusion in single-visit nonsurgical root canal treatments.
Materials And Methods: Study participants were recruited through consecutive sampling from patients referred to the Endodontic Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Institution University, diagnosed as asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis.

This study aimed to investigate the biomechanical impact of root canal anatomical variations and restoration techniques on endodontically treated mandibular second molars using finite element analysis. Five root morphologies were modelled: separated-rooted (S), fused-rooted with V-shaped (F-V), U-shaped (F-U) or Ω-shaped (F-Ω) radicular grooves and single-canal fused-rooted (F-O). Micro-CT scans were performed before and after endodontic instrumentation to generate the finite element models: intact teeth, post-and-core crowns with 2- to 3-mm ferrules and endocrowns with 3- to 4-mm pulp chamber extensions.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy of a customized deep learning model based on CNN and U-Net for detecting and segmenting the second mesiobuccal canal (MB2) of maxillary first molar teeth on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans.
Methodology: CBCT scans of 37 patients were imported into 3D slicer software to crop and segment the canals of the mesiobuccal (MB) root of the maxillary first molar. The annotated data were divided into two groups: 80% for training and validation and 20% for testing.
