Item Assessment of Endodontic Emergency Care in a COVID-19 Pandemic(2022) Sisli, Selen Nihal; Koc, Cemre; Sayin, Ceren Efe; Gulsahi, Kamran; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3510-7265Objective: This study compared the aerosol-generating and non-aerosol -generating endodontic emergency procedures' success and assessed the outcome of endodontic treatments initiated before a pandemic but could not be completed in the targeted time. Materials and Methods: Emergency treatments were performed according to symptoms of teeth. Treatment success or failure was determined according to patients whether not re-referral with untimely pain. Short-term outcome and complications arising from teeth, which endodontic treatments were prolonged were also recorded. A chi-square test was used in the statistical analysis, and p<0.05 was considered significant. Results: The aerosol-generating procedure group's success rate was 86.2%, while it was 70.0% in the non-aerosol generating procedure group (p=0.050). The short-term survival rate of teeth was 83.7% in patients whose endodontic treatment had been prolonged. Conclusion: Considering the pros and cons, each emergency patient should be evaluated case-by-case.Item 3D Printing in Endodontics: Report of Three Clinical Cases with Innovative Approaches(2021) Koc, Cemre; Capci, Abdullah; 345538963D printing is a process whereby a given material is deposited in successive layers to create a 3D object. In dentistry, this technology involves three steps: digital data acquisition using a scanner and/or CBCT, data processing and design within a software application, and manufacturing through 3D printing. The aim of the present article is to discuss the clinical application of 3D printing in endodontics through the presentation of three specific and original endodontic clinical cases. Innovative approaches were utilized in these cases for the treatment of a calcified root canal, periapical surgery, and autotransplantation. The results of all three cases were promising regarding proper case selection and in the design process. 3D-printing technology may be helpful to reduce surgical time, operator bias, and the risk of procedural errors.
