Contemporary Intracanal Medicaments in Endodontics: A Clinical Guide

Various medicaments such as calcium hydroxide, chlorhexidine, antibiotic pastes, corticosteroid-antibiotic combinations, bioceramic medicaments, and strontium-based formulations have been advocated depending upon the clinical scenario. The choice of medicament depends on factors including pulpal status, microbial flora, periapical pathology, exudation, resorption, and patient-specific considerations. While calcium hydroxide remains the gold standard because of its antimicrobial and hard tissue induction properties, newer materials such as bioceramic medicaments offer enhanced biocompatibility and bioactivity. Strontium-based formulations have also gained attention for their remineralization and osteogenic potential.

Endodontic Retreatment Cases: A Comprehensive Review

Root canal retreatment cases are performed when a previously treated tooth continues to show pain, infection, swelling, or failure to heal properly. Common reasons for retreatment include missed canals, inadequate cleaning, leakage from a faulty restoration, or reinfection due to recurrent decay. During retreatment, the old filling material is removed, the canals are cleaned and disinfected again, and the tooth is sealed properly to improve long-term success. Early diagnosis and careful case selection are important for achieving a favorable outcome.

Retreatment Cases: Can We Predict Which Ones Will Heal?

Non-surgical retreatment outcomes are often unpredictable despite careful execution. This study evaluated AI-based models to predict healing after root canal retreatment and found that machine learning, particularly XGBoost, showed high accuracy in identifying cases at risk of failure. Key clinical factors such as preoperative lesions, tooth type, and restoration quality significantly influenced outcomes, suggesting that AI may help structure prognosis assessment before treatment begins.
