Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the last few years, dentistry has increased its aspects of research and its cooperation with other disciplines.

This Special Issue focuses on the most recent and significant innovations in the dental field, focusing attention on the multidisciplinary, technological, and research aspects as well as how they can be involved in oral health and in clinical dentistry practice. New techniques and technologies have changed modern dentistry, plus the innovation of the digital age and the introduction of new materials have made dentistry more and more innovative.

The applications of new biomaterials and techniques can lead to a significant advancement in all of the main dental branches, such as restorative dentistry, prosthodontics, oral surgery, implantology, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, and temporomandibular disorder patients.

Authors conducting studies on these themes are welcome to submit original research articles, reviews, short communications, case series, and case reports.

This study presents a systematic review with meta-analysis to evaluate the success rates of endodontic retreatments in teeth where separated instruments are located within the roots. The search and selection of studies were conducted across two databases, SCOPUS and PubMed, as well as the Cochrane Library registry, yielding a total of 1620 records. Following the selection process, 11 studies were included in the systematic review. Overall, out of 1133 retreated teeth, there were 172 failures in instrument removal and 55 perforations. The meta-analysis results indicate that failures are more frequent when instruments are located in the apical third, with a failure rate of 21%, compared to an 8.8% failure rate in the middle/coronal third. The anatomy of the root canals, particularly the location of the separated instruments, significantly influences the success rates. Full article
