Impact of magnification and fluorescence guidance on conservative retrieval of failed fiber posts: an in vitro study
Abstract Background Fiber post removal during endodontic retreatment is challenging since fiber posts bond strongly to root dentin, closely matching its color, making the post–cement–dentin interface difficult to distinguish. Consequently, fiber post retrieval may cause unnecessary dentin loss and leave...

Association between skeletal maturation and the developmental stages of the maxillary canine and mandibular second and third molars across different vertical facial patterns
Abstract Background Skeletal maturation and dental developmental stages are widely used indicators of biological growth in orthodontics. This study aimed to evaluate the association between skeletal maturation and the developmental stages of the maxillary canine (U3) and mandibular second (L7)...
Impact of denosumab therapy on periapical healing following root canal treatment: a 10-year retrospective case-control study
Abstract Introduction Denosumab is a potent RANKL inhibitor used for osteoporosis, yet its impact on root canal treatment (RCT) outcomes remains less understood compared to bisphosphonates. This study evaluated the periapical healing outcomes of RCT in patients receiving denosumab and...
