This study aimed to assess regenerative treatment protocols for maturogenesis of immature teeth with apical periodontitis in dogs. Apical periodontitis was induced in immature premolars of 8 mongrel dogs teeth that were divided into 5 groups; regeneration via blood clotting (REG group); chitosan loaded with demineralised bone matrix (REG-CD group); chitosan loaded with dexamethazone corticosteroid (REG-CC group); and positive and negative control groups. All groups showed comparable apical hard tissue formation and significantly different from the control group. Results also showed decrease in inflammatory tissue reaction, bone resorption and periodontal ligament thickness. Tissue reaction and inflammatory infiltrates were significantly less in REG-CC group compared to others. Other parameters showed no significant difference. In conclusion, regenerative endodontic techniques using chitosan-based formulations have the potential to be used as an alternative for root maturation in teeth with apical periodontitis.

Background: With the increase in the resident population and the number of children in Ningbo, as well as the growing demand for oral health care, the number of children's dental emergencies has been increasing year by year. This trend not only increases the pressure on medical resources, but also puts higher demands on the level of children's oral emergency care. In order to better guide the diagnosis and treatment of common and frequent diseases in paediatric oral emergency care, and to improve the efficiency of the use of medical resources.

Dental mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) play an essential role in the development of immature permanent teeth. Bacterial infection of the pulp and periapical tissues of immature permanent teeth, the associated oral pathogens, and their virulence factors affect the viability, proliferation, differentiation, and cytokine secretion of MSCs. Bacteria and virulence factors can also trigger an inflammatory response that induces pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion and destroys odontogenic MSCs in the pulp and periapical region, negatively affecting the development of immature permanent teeth.

Background: Chronic apical periodontitis (CAP) is a prevalent oral inflammatory disease, yet the complex mechanisms underlying its etiology remain unclear. A recently identified cell death pathway known as cuproptosis may be linked to this condition.
Methods: Differentially expressed cuproptosis-related genes (DE-CRGs) were identified by integrating human CAP dataset (GSE237398) with health control (HC) dataset (GSE223924) from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database.

Introduction: Although several elegant studies have reported apical periodontitis prevalence in different populations, far less is known about its associated bone loss and its correlation to sex and age. Thus, this study investigated the impact of sex and age differences on the severity of apical periodontitis (AP) using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and a volumetric periapical index (CBCT-PAI).
Material And Methods: CBCT scans of 401 patients (1,027 teeth) were analyzed by calibrated examiners in CBCTPAI.

Introduction And Aims: Calcified root canals in mandibular anterior teeth present significant therapeutic challenges due to their narrow anatomy and minimal tolerance for procedural errors. This case report demonstrates the successful integration of robot-assisted navigation with an ultra-fine bur to address these challenges.
Methods: A 44-year-old male presented with symptomatic chronic apical periodontitis and pulp calcification in a mandibular lateral incisor, 20 years after orthodontic treatment.
