Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Currently, we use the term “modern endodontics” thanks to new technologies, novel materials, and protocols. Various equipment is available to facilitate and improve our endodontic treatments, such as CBCT 3D, operating microscopes, ultrasounds, lasers, modern alloys for rotary files, powerful irrigation systems, new materials for filling root canals, and many more. With the aid of the previously mentioned advances, complex endodontic treatments can be carried out safely, thus guaranteeing patients a high level of care and, above all, saving teeth that would otherwise be doomed for extraction.

This Special Issue aims to provide selected contributions on advances in the diagnosis, access cavity, shaping, 3D cleaning, 3D obturation, endodontic retreatments, endodontic surgery, and post-endodontic restoration in modern endodontics.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Healthcare is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Background: Endodontic shaping causes stress and strain in the root canal dentin. Dentin microcracks have the potential to be later followed by root fractures occurring under the occlusal load. The aim of our research was to theoretically determine the values of such dentinal states of stress and strain during the endodontic shaping of curved root canals using finite element analysis (FEA). Methods: To highlight the stress concentrations in dentin, two geometric models were created considering the volume of the curved dental root and the contact between the endodontic file and the root canal walls. The application of forces with different values was simulated both on a uniform curved root canal and on a root canal with an apical third curvature of 25° as they would be applied during the preparation of a root canal. Results: In the case of the first model, which was acted upon with a force of 5 N, the deformations of the root canal appeared along the entire working length, reaching the highest values in the apical third of the root, although there were no geometric changes in the shape of the root canal. Regarding the second root model, with an apical third curvature of 25°, although the applied force was 2 N, the deformations were accompanied by geometric changes in the shape of the root, especially in the upper part of the apical third. At a higher force of 7 N exerted on the endodontic file, the geometric shape changed, and the deformation reached extreme critical values. The resulting tensile stresses appearing in the experimental structure varied similarly to the deformations. Conclusions: Significant stress and strain can develop, especially in the apical third of curved root canals during their shaping, and the risk of cracks is higher for endodontically treated teeth presenting severe curvatures in the apical third of the root.
