Cover Story: Intraosseous anesthesia (IOA) is gaining recognition as a reliable alternative to traditional mandibular techniques, yet concerns remain about its sensitivity. This retrospective cohort study explored whether clinician experience impacts IOA effectiveness, comfort, and safety during endodontic treatment. Our findings showed no significant difference between experienced endodontists and residents, supporting the broader clinical adoption of IOA regardless of practitioner experience and encouraging its integration into standard training programs. View this paper
