Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In endodontics, a complete chemomechanical cleansing of the root canal system is essential to achieving success, which is gained through adequate shaping, 3D cleaning and the tridimensional obturation of the complex endodontic space. In recent years, satisfactory results could be obtained with modern technologies such as an operative microscope, ultrasonic tips, modern rotary files, devices to activate irrigation and tridimensional obturation techniques. This Special Issue focuses on all the technologies available today to increase the chemomechanical cleansing and obturation of the entire and complicated endodontic system.

If you are interested in this topic and willing to contribute, please do not hesitate to contact me, and I am looking forward to receiving your excellent work!

A massive periodontal destruction can affect the root canal (RC) system and potentially expose the pulpo-dentinal complex to opportunistic bacteria. Streptococcus mutans is a major pathogen of human caries and periodontal diseases, and its virulence mostly resides in the ability to adhere to collagen and form biofilms, due to collagen-binding proteins (CBPs) Cnm and Cbm. Seventeen patients affected by severe endo-periodontal lesions without caries and/or exposure of pulpal tissue were subjected to tooth extraction and samples for microbiological investigation were collected from the root surface (RS) and RC. The collected swabs were cultivated and subjected to the quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) for the detection of S. mutans and to the PCR for the cnm/cbm genes investigation, followed by next-generation sequencing (NGS). S. mutans DNA was detected in 12/17 (70.5%) RS samples and in 8/17 (47.0%) RC samples. In the CBPs screening of positive samples, the cnm gene was detected in 4/12 (33.3%) RS and in 1/8 (12.5%) RC samples, whilst all the samples tested negative for the cbm gene. The presence of the cnm gene could enhance the local virulence of the pathogens. Therefore, S. mutans have to be included as potential periodontopathogen bacterium in severe or refractory forms of periodontal diseases. Full article

A structural and organizational redesign of the dental care system is necessary today due to current trends in the demographic process and the accompanying changes in the population’s healthcare needs. The purpose of this article is to review the literature, analyzing those trends that today represent useful tools for the oral health of pediatric patients, with particular reference to teledentistry and all the supports it uses to reach remote territories or patients who, for various reasons, cannot have access to dental care. An independent literature search was conducted in three electronic databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, Google Scholar, and the COCHRANE library. Thirty-one articles were considered. Reported findings highlight that teledentistry has been used in pediatrics to educate and promote oral health and to provide remote diagnosis and monitoring through mobile health applications, smartphone cameras and apps, intraoral cameras, websites and search engines, and telephonic communications. Specifically, teledentistry has been beneficial in providing dental care in remote locations with difficult access to pediatric dentists, conducting remote diagnostic and screening programs, monitoring patients between appointments, promoting children’s oral health through dental education, and providing behavioral counseling prior to office visits. Future research should further investigate the long-term use, additional applications, and cost-effectiveness of teledentistry in children. Full article
