Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the relationship between endodontics and orthodontics, a topic which has gained increasing amounts of attention in recent decades. More cases involving both disciplines have emerged, drawing interest from both clinicians and researchers. The relationship covers various aspects, including how orthodontic movements impact pulp and periapical tissues, the potential risks of various kinds of root resorptions during orthodontic procedures, and the timing of postendodontic orthodontic procedures. Additionally, the impact of root canal treatments on the orthodontic movement is increasingly being discussed. Despite the importance of these topics, the existing literature lacks comprehensive information on these connections, and the practical clinical guidelines have inconsistencies. The goal of this Special Issue is to address these gaps through presenting reviews based on the existing literature, along with analyses of treated cases. This will provide various treatment approaches, with the aim of simplifying complex treatment plans for dentists who are dealing with these challenges in daily practice. The overall intention is to provide practitioners with practical tools and algorithms for integrated endodontic and orthodontic treatments.

Performing endodontic treatment on a tooth with an immature apex can be challenging due to the risk of irrigant extrusion beyond the apex. This narrative review investigates the over-apex extrusion of activated irrigants in teeth with open and immature apices and aims to provide crucial insights for practice and research. Two hundred fifty-two results were found from the electronic search. Sixteen duplicates were removed before selection, and 24 were excluded. Of the 212 remaining results, the full text was evaluated for eligibility. One hundred ninety-four results were excluded: in one hundred sixty-five, irrigant activation was not performed; twenty-nine were animal studies; in seven, irrigant activation was not performed to disinfect the canal. Finally, 13 studies were included. They cover a range of topics, from the types of irrigants used to the techniques of activation, and their findings contribute to our understanding of the risks and consequences of irrigant extrusion. All the activation techniques investigated can, to varying degrees, cause the irrigant to extrude beyond the apex. Extrusion may not always be clinically relevant; however, the consequences of excessive irrigant leakage from the apex are dangerous, so try to assess all the variables that may cause it and adopt techniques to reduce it.
