Ferrari CH, de Carvalho LS, Rocha CT, Abu Hasna A. Correlation between Tooth Position Parameters and Apical Fenestration: A Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Study. Methods Protoc 2024; 7:14. [PMID: 38392688 PMCID: PMC10893403 DOI: 10.3390/mps7010014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Revised: 12/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to assess the relationship between apical fenestration-a defect in the alveolar bone involving the root apex-and tooth position in all tooth groups, excluding the third molars, utilizing cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. A total of 800 CBCT scans (400 maxillary and 400 mandibular) from patients undergoing various treatments were examined by a single professional (radiologist and endodontist). Statistical analyses, including the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, were conducted using R software 2.7.3 (R Foundation, Vienna, Austria). Results indicated a significant association (p ≤ 0.05) between apical fenestration and tooth position. In the upper teeth, apical fenestrations were notably present in the mesio-buccal (17.17%) and disto-buccal (11.07%) roots of the first molars. Conversely, apical fenestrations in the lower teeth were relatively less frequent. The study revealed a negative correlation between apical fenestration and mesial inclination, rotation, and extrusion in the upper teeth. However, a positive correlation was observed between apical fenestration and lingual inclination in the upper teeth. In conclusion, this study illuminates the distribution of apical fenestration and its correlation with tooth positions, offering insights into factors influencing this defect in dental anatomy. The findings enhance our understanding of nuanced relationships between tooth position and apical fenestration in the upper and lower dental arches.

Pai ARV. Injection of sodium hypochlorite into soft tissues of the oral cavity: A literature review with clinical preventive recommendations. JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2023; 124:101581.

Abstract
Injection of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) solution instead of local anaesthetic (LA) solution is an iatrogenic error with serious consequences including medico-legal implications. Such cases have been reported despite recommended precautionary measures. The purpose of this article is to review the literature on such cases and present clinical preventive recommendations. Electronic search was conducted in PubMed/Medline, Google Scholar, Cochrane, Scopus, Lilacs, ScienceDirect, and Crossref databases for articles reporting accidental or mistaken or inadvertent injection of NaOCl instead of LA during dental or endodontic treatment. Articles reporting NaOCl accident due to extrusion or injection of NaOCl beyond root confines were excluded. A total of 11 articles were found and reviewed. Data pertaining to the patient, injected NaOCl, cause, clinical manifestations, management, hospitalization, healing and recovery, and long-term or residual effects were extracted, compiled, and analysed for interpretation and discussion. Injection of NaOCl instead of LA into the soft tissues leads to varying clinical manifestations with unpredictable extent, outcome, and recovery period. The onus lies with the clinician to prevent it. Therefore, a clinician must take all the precautionary measures and confirm the identity of LA and NaOCl solutions before delivering them. The presented clinical recommendations assist clinicians to prevent it, including its potential medico-legal consequences. However, in case of such an unfortunate event, it is crucial to immediately identify and quickly manage it to limit the tissue damage or complications.

Abstract
Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is one of the most commonly used irrigant because of its several advantages. However, it is highly cytotoxic and can lead to severe tissue damage. NaOCl accident occurs when it is extruded beyond root confines into periapical or periradicular tissues. It is an irrigant mishap which can be life threatening and/or cause residual or long term or permanent consequences with malpractice and medico-legal implications. There are many factors which can influence the occurrence and progress of NaOCl accident. These factors can be broadly categorized as patient (host)-, tooth-, operator-, and NaOCl-related factors. They can be further categorized as predisposing and extent factors. It is vital for a clinician to thoroughly understand and identify various influencing factors to prevent NaOCl accident with its associated consequences including any potential medico-legal issues. The purpose of this article is to provide a narrative review on various factors which predispose to the occurrence of NaOCl accident and influence its extent and/or outcome.

Abstract
This cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) study aimed to assess the root fenestration (RF) frequency in healthy, intact teeth and analyse their features in a Greek subpopulation. 432 CBCT scans were examined. 5486 teeth were evaluated for RF prevalence. RF prevalence and distribution were recorded for each jaw, tooth group, as well as patient age and sex. RF symmetry, distribution to the affected root surface and the effects of age and sex were evaluated. The prevalence of RF ranged from 0.57% (central incisors) to 7.18% (first premolars) and from 0.48% (second premolars) to 10.79% (lateral incisors) for the maxilla and the mandible, respectively. No symmetrical occurrence of RF was detected. Most RF patients presented one or two defects in both jaws. Types I and IV were the most prevalent in the maxilla, while Types III, II and V were the most prevalent in the mandible. No statistical difference was detected between different sexes and age groups (P > 0.05).

Accidental Extrusion of Sodium Hypochlorite in a Patient Taking Alendronate: A Case Report With an 8-Year Follow-up. J Endod 2021; 47:1947-1952. [PMID: 34626612 DOI: 10.1016/j.joen.2021.09.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2021] [Revised: 09/26/2021] [Accepted: 09/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Extrusion of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is a very rare accident with the most common complications including pain, swelling, and hematoma. It can occur even if procedural guidelines, predisposing conditions, and risk factors are taken into consideration. A 59-year-old female patient was admitted to the endodontics department to treat a left maxillary first premolar (World Dental Federation tooth 24). The medical history included osteoporosis and systemic medication with alendronate. Initially, the diagnosis was "symptomatic irreversible pulpitis" with "normal apical tissues." During instrumentation of the buccal canal, accidental extrusion of 2.5% NaOCl occurred into the periapical tissues, resulting from misinterpretation of the working length, and caused severe pain and bleeding. The canal was immediately flushed using copious irrigation with saline solution. An analgesic and corticosteroid were prescribed. At 3 and 7 days, ecchymosis and slight hematoma were observed extraorally in the area of the affected tooth and an intraoral ulceration at the apex of the affected tooth. At 15 days, minimal signs of ecchymosis were observed, and the treatment was resumed. At 30 days after the accident, there was complete remission of the sequelae. The clinical, radiographic, and tomographic assessment after 1 month, 1 year, and 8 years showed favorable case evolution. During the 8-year follow-up, the patient maintained the systemic use of alendronate. It can be concluded that NaOCl extrusion is an accident that causes patients and clinicians to experience an unpleasant consequence. The radiographic working length should always be determined carefully. A successful outcome can be achieved in patients who take alendronate.

Int Endod J 2021; 54:1212-1220.

Abstract
AIM To determine the anatomical reasons for sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) accidents by testing whether this mishap is likely to occur in cases where the anatomical apex of the teeth fenestrates the overlying buccal cortical alveolar bone, allowing NaOCl to gain direct access to buccal soft tissues. METHODOLOGY Following a cross-sectional, nonrandomized design, 13 patients who suffered unintentional NaOCl accidents whilst undergoing root canal treatment were included. After remission of symptoms, the root canals were fully irrigated with an innocuous radiopaque solution (saline diluted Claritrast 300) and subsequently CBCT scanned to create a 3D-map of the periapex and tracking of the irrigant pathway throughout the periapical tissues. An extra group of five control patients, who underwent root canal treatment with no NaOCl accident, was also CBCT-scanned after irrigation with the tracking radiopaque solution. The anatomical relationship of the cortical bone and the root apex, as well as the distribution of irrigation solution in the periapical tissue, was associated with patients undergoing a NaOCl accident or not, using a Fisher's exact test. RESULTS The frequency of teeth with apical cortical fenestration was significantly higher in the NaOCl accident-positive group, compared to the negative (P < 0.001). All 13 accident-positive patients had an anatomical apex in direct contact with the buccal soft tissue via fenestration of the overlying cortical bone and direct contact of the foramen with the soft tissues. The radiopaque solution was distributed in the soft tissue in these cases. In contrast, accident-negative patients had no fenestration of the buccal cortical bone and the anatomical root apex was within the cancellous bone or within a bone-confined periapical lesion. The radiopaque solution was also found in the cancellous bone or the periapical lesion, but patients had no manifestations of a NaOCl accident. CONCLUSION This quasi-experimental cross-sectional clinical study suggests that, in addition to the presence of the extruded NaOCl solution, a patent foramen that fenestrates the cortical bone merging into the mucosal tissue might constitute a risk for the clinical manifestation of a NaOCl accident. Preoperative 3D scans aid in anticipating when an accident is likely to occur.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine the mean distances between apexes of the maxillary posterior teeth and the maxillary sinus, between apexes of the mandibular posterior teeth and the mandibular canal, and between the root apexes of all teeth and the adjacent cortical plates. A total of 800 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans (400 maxillary and 400 mandibular) were obtained from patients indicated for several treatments. The proximity between apexes and anatomical structures, and the relationship between apexes and adjacent cortical plates were assessed together with the risk of over-instrumentation. Paired-sample comparisons were performed by using the paired t-test. The means were compared by ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis and Dwass-Steel-Critchlow-Fligner tests. a) Most of the apexes classified as A (high-risk proximity) were observed in maxillary first and second molars, in mandibular first and second molars, and in second premolars in relation to near anatomical structures. b) A predominance of class A (86.42%) was noticed in the first premolars, between apexes of maxillary teeth and adjacent cortical plates. c) The distance between apexes of mandibular teeth and buccal cortical plates showed a predominance of medium-risk proximity (B) in all the groups, except the first premolars, with the highest risk (82.22%), and the second molars, with low-risk proximity (C) to distal and mesiobuccal apexes (91.77% and 89.62%). CBCT images are important for endodontic diagnosis and treatment, since many teeth have high risk proximity to near anatomical structures and adjacent cortical plates.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this randomized clinical study was to evaluate the effect of laser-activated irrigation using a photon-induced photoacoustic streaming (PIPS) technique on postoperative pain following completion of root canal obturation. Methods: Fifty-six patients were enrolled in this randomized clinical trial. Fifty-six healthy premolars or molars with asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis, symptomatic irreversible pulpitis, or symptomatic pulpal necrosis, with or without apical periodontitis, were mechanically prepared for endodontic treatment and divided into two groups. Patients were randomly allocated to treatment groups. In the positive control group G1, the final irrigation with 2 cc of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) was achieved using a 27G needle, introduced into the canal to a distance of 5 mm from the predetermined working length. In the experimental group G2, the root canals were irrigated with 17% ethyldiamine tetric acid (EDTA) and 5.25% NaOCl following the PIPS protocol, using an Er:YAG 2940 nm laser (LightWalker ATS®; Fotona, Slovenia) with a 600 μm diameter tip and operating parameters of 20 mJ per pulse, 15 Hz frequency, 0.3 W average power, and a 50-μs pulse duration. Postoperatively, the patients were advised to take a minor analgesic (ibuprofen 400 mg) in the event of pain perception. Postoperative pain levels were assessed after 24, 48, and 72 h and 7 days through the use of a Visual Analogue Scale questionnaire, completed by each patient. Data were analyzed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Fisher Exact, Chi square, Mann-Whitney test, and Friedman's test. The level of significance was set at α = 0.05. Results: There was no significant difference between the laser-irradiated group and the control group (p < 0.5). Laser activation of irrigating solutions did not increase postoperative pain. Conclusions: The outcome of this investigation indicated that PIPS was as effective as conventional irrigation in relation to postoperative pain, making this activation technique interesting to use for supplementary root canal disinfection.

Abstract
Abstract
The main objective of endodontic treatment is to remove vital and necrotic remnants of pulp tissue and microorganisms and their toxic products from the root canal. During chemo-mechanical endodontic preparation, a smear layer is formed on the wall of the canals. Due to an inability to remove all tissue remnants and the smear layer from the root canal by mechanical instrumentation, it is necessary to use irrigation to ensure sufficient cleaning and disinfection of the largest part of the root canalicular system. The most commonly used irrigants are sodium hypochlorite (Na-OCl), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), citric acid and chlorhexidine (CHX). Recently, the irrigants QMix and MTAD have been introduced to the market. They are a mixture of different components having antimicrobial, organolytic and mineralytic effects on canal detritus and the smear layer. This review article investigates irrigants in terms of the nature of their effect, their efficiency, optimal concentration, and method of use, and the interactions between the irrigants most commonly used in endodontic therapy are discussed, with special emphasis on QMix and MTAD.

Abstract
This study evaluated the influence of irrigation tip, root canal curvature and final apical diameter on periapical debris and irrigant extrusion during root canal instrumentation. After being classified as mildly or moderately curved, the mesiobuccal root canals of 90 human molars were instrumented. The teeth were allocated into three groups according to the used needle type: a flat open-end needle (Group 1), a side-vented needle (Group 2) or a double side-vented needle (Group 3). The amount of extruded material after instrumentation was calculated for each group. The differences in irrigant and debris extrusion between the experimental groups were analyzed with the Mann-Whitney U test. Irrigation tips and final instrument diameter differences were analyzed with the Kruskal-Wallis test. Multiple groups were compared using the Mann-Whitney U-test with a Bonferroni correction at α=0.05. The amount of extruded material from the double side-vented needle was significantly less than the open-ended flat needle (p=0.008), but there was no difference compared to the side-vented needle (p=0.929). The results showed no effect of root curvature and final apical diameter on the amount of irrigant and debris extrusion (p>0.05). The double side-vented needles generated the least material extrusion to the periapical tissues. Irrigation needle type had the greatest influence on periapical irrigant and debris extrusion and the double side-vented needles may be safely used during endodontic therapy.

Abstract
This case report describes the tissue injury caused by inadvertently extruded NaOCl through the apical constriction. A 56-year-old female patient with complaints of pain, swelling, and ecchymosis on the left side of her face was referred to our clinic. The symptoms had emerged following root canal treatment of the maxillary left first premolar, and a soft tissue complication due to apical extrusion of NaOCl was diagnosed. Antibiotics and analgesics were prescribed. DVT images revealed that the buccal root apex had perforated the maxillary bone. The patient was followed up every other day and became asymptomatic on the 10th day. Endodontic therapy was completed with routine procedures. Determining working length precisely and following irrigation protocols meticulously are indispensable to prevent this type of complication. 3D visualization of the affected area may reveal the cause of the incident.

Abstract
Introdução: A irrigação do canal radicular visa a limpeza e desinfecção do sistema de canais radiculares, sem promover extrusão apical. Objetivo: Avaliar a influência do diâmetro foraminal do canal radicular, da penetração e do tipo de agulha, e do fluxo na limpeza e na extrusão apical da solução irrigadora. Material e método: Doze dentes incisivos inferiores humanos com canal único foram instrumentados e, após ampliação foraminal com diferentes diâmetros (LK #40 e 60), os canais radiculares foram preenchidos com solução de contraste radiológico espessada com propilenoglicol e óxido de zinco. Foram utilizados dois tipos de agulhas de irrigação 27G com diferentes designs (abertura apical ou lateral), dois fluxos correspondentes a 15 ou 25 mL/min, e com penetração das agulhas em duas profundidades (3 e 6 mm aquém do ápice). Antes e após irrigação, os dentes foram radiografados utilizando um sistema radiográfico digital. As áreas do canal radicular antes (preenchido pelo contraste) e após irrigação (remanescente do contraste) foram submetidas à subtração de imagens no programa Adobe Photoshop CS4 e mensuradas por meio do programa Image Tool 3.0, obtendo o percentual de limpeza e de extrusão. Os dados foram analisados por meio dos testes ANOVA e Tukey, com nível de significância de 5%. Resultado: Não houve diferença estatística entre o diâmetro foraminal, o tipo e a profundidade de penetração da agulha, e a velocidade do fluxo de irrigação nos parâmetros limpeza (acima de 97%) e extrusão apical (menor do que 0,38 mm2), com p>0,05. Conclusão: Todos os protocolos de irrigação avaliados proporcionaram limpeza do canal radicular e pequena extrusão apical da solução irrigadora.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the capacity of 2% chlorhexidine gel associated with 8% papain gel in comparison with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite in bovine pulp tissue dissolution. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety bovine pulps of standardized sizes were used and fragmented into 5-mm sizes. The fragments were removed from the root middle third region. They were divided into 6 experimental groups (n = 15), 1) 8% papain; 2) 2% chlorhexidine; 3) 2% chlorhexidine associated with 8% papain; 4) 0.9% saline solution; 5) 2.5% sodium hypochlorite; and 6) 5.25% sodium hypochlorite. The pulp fragments were weighed and put into immobile test tubes for dissolution for time intervals of 30, 60, 90, and 120 min. RESULTS The 5.25% sodium hypochlorite had greater dissolution potential than the pure papain, and when associated with chlorhexidine, both promoted greater dissolution than did the saline solution and 2% chlorhexidine groups (p < 0.05). The 2.5% sodium hypochlorite promoted dissolution to a lesser extent than the groups with papain within a period of 30 min (p < 0.05), but, was comparable to the saline solution and chlorhexidine. After 120 min, the 2.5% and 5.25% sodium hypochlorite promoted dissolution of 100% of the pulp fragments, and papain, 61%, while chlorhexidine associated with papain and chlorhexidine alone dissolved only 55% and 3%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The 8% papain in gel, both alone and in association with chlorhexidine, was able to dissolve bovine pulp tissue, but to a lesser extent than did 5.25% sodium hypochlorite.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Root canal treatment forms an essential part of general dental practice. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is the most commonly used irrigant in endodontics due to its ability to dissolve organic soft tissues in the root canal system and its action as a potent antimicrobial agent. Although NaOCl accidents created by extrusion of the irrigant through root apices are relatively rare and are seldom life-threatening, they do create substantial morbidity when they occur. METHODS To date, NaOCl accidents have only been published as isolated case reports. Although previous studies have attempted to summarise the symptoms involved in these case reports, there was no endeavour to analyse the distribution of soft tissue distribution in those reports. In this review, the anatomy of a classical NaOCl accident that involves facial swelling and ecchymosis is discussed. RESULTS By summarising the facial manifestations presented in previous case reports, a novel hypothesis that involves intravenous infusion of extruded NaOCl into the facial vein via non-collapsible venous sinusoids within the cancellous bone is presented. CONCLUSIONS Understanding the mechanism involved in precipitating a classic NaOCl accident will enable the profession to make the best decision regarding the choice of irrigant delivery techniques in root canal débridement, and for manufacturers to design and improve their irrigation systems to achieve maximum safety and efficient cleanliness of the root canal system.
