Description: In early stages of cracked teeth, pulpal inflammation is considered reversible. Cracked teeth with retained pulp vitality demonstrate higher survival rates whereas root canal treatment (RCT) negatively influences survival outcomes. The clinical challenge lies in discerning when RCT is required. This study aimed to develop and validate machine learning models for predicting pulp survival in cracked teeth with reversible pulpitis and investigating associations between patient- and tooth-related variables and treatment outcomes.
At the conclusion of this article, the reader will be able to:
- Describe the patient- and tooth-related factors significantly associated with pulp survival in cracked teeth diagnosed with reversible pulpitis.
- Compare the predictive performance of machine learning models in predicting the need for root canal treatment in cracked teeth.
- Discuss the clinical implications and limitations of applying machine learning models to support decision-making in the endodontic management of cracked teeth with reversible pulpitis.

Description: The pathological extension of endodontic disease into the maxillary sinuses is a common disease process yet is often unrecognized in clinical medical and dental practice, with its sequelae often overlooked entirely or misdiagnosed as rhinogenic sinusitis. This lecture explains and illustrates the etiology, symptoms, and associated clinical and radiographic findings of maxillary sinusitis of endodontic origin (MSEO) with multiple case examples including life-threatening spreading infections. Emphasis is placed on the importance of CBCT imaging, magnification, and clinical expertise for rendering both non-surgical and surgical endodontic treatment when indicated in the maxillary posterior dentition. The goal is to help practitioners distinguish rhinosinusitis from MSEO, and improve the health of patients through accurate diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and improved communication between endodontists and ENT specialists.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe the pathogenic effects and progression of periradicular inflammation on the sinus tissues and the associated clinical and radiographic findings of maxillary sinusitis of endodontic origin (MSEO).
- Recognize the distinguishing differences between rhinogenic sinusitis and odontogenic sinusitis and know when to render endodontic care and/or make an appropriate ENT referral.
- Recognize the indications for endodontic treatment and periapical surgery, and the unique anatomic challenges associated with maxillary posterior teeth proximate to the maxillary sinus.

Description: Orofacial pain presents a complex diagnostic landscape that often overlaps with endodontic pathology, making accurate diagnosis and effective treatment a significant clinical challenge. The collaboration between orofacial pain specialists and endodontists is emerging as a pivotal strategy in improving patient outcomes, especially in cases where conventional endodontic diagnosis fails to fully explain a patient's symptoms. This interdisciplinary approach enables a more comprehensive evaluation of pain mechanisms, distinguishing odontogenic from non-odontogenic sources, neuropathic conditions, and referred pain patterns.Recent therapeutic advances have enhanced the ability to identify and manage atypical presentations of endodontic pain, such as persistent idiopathic facial pain and neuropathic components of post-root canal treatment.
Learning Objectives:
- Differentiate among odontogenic, musculoskeletal, neuropathic, and referred pain mechanisms.
- Use structured approaches to evaluate cases that do not follow conventional endodontic patterns.
- Integrate recent evidence and therapeutic advances in the management of acute non-odontogenic pain in their practice.
