Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used with the Ahmed classification system. A retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study analysed 388 maxillary premolars from CBCT scans of 97 participants obtained from participating private dental practices in Swakopmund and Windhoek and from the University of Namibia dental clinic. The root number and canal configuration were classified by the Ahmed system. Associations were assessed by comparing identical tooth types in the right and left maxilla. First premolars were mostly two-rooted (56.2%), and second premolars were mostly single-rooted (88.1%), with key configurations of 1MP1, 1MP1-2 and 2MP B1P1. Age-related changes showed increased 2MP B1P1 in first premolars and 1MP1-2-1 in second premolars. The dominant configurations in this Namibian sample align with other populations, emphasising the importance of population-specific data for endodontic treatment and supporting the relevance of the Ahmed classification.","PeriodicalId":55581,"journal":{"name":"Australian Endodontic Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147846840","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, and Scopus in April 2025 to identify studies addressing artificial intelligence in endodontic diagnosis, treatment, and education. Titles, abstracts, and full texts were screened according to predefined criteria. Bibliometric indicators including publication output, authorship networks, institutional and country contributions, citation patterns, and keyword co-occurrence were analysed using bibliometric software. 220 studies were included. Research output increased markedly over time, with major contributions from China, the United States, Turkey and India. Collaboration was largely geographically clustered, with limited international integration. Recent publications showed a strong focus on deep learning approaches for diagnostic imaging, particularly cone-beam computed tomography and image segmentation. Artificial intelligence research in endodontics is expanding rapidly, but broader collaboration and diversification beyond radiographic applications are needed to support clinical translation.","PeriodicalId":55581,"journal":{"name":"Australian Endodontic Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147790236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A comprehensive search across seven electronic databases was conducted up to 1 October 2025, identifying five eligible in vitro and ex vivo studies encompassing over 1765 teeth or radiographic images. All the included studies directly compared AI-based approaches with manual or conventional reference standards. An exploratory random-effects meta-analysis demonstrated higher odds of correct working length determination using AI-based methods compared to expert assessment. The risk of bias was moderate to high, primarily because of internal validation and the predominance of laboratory-based study designs. The overall certainty of evidence for the primary outcome was rated low. This first quantitative synthesis suggests that AI-based methods may enhance the consistency of working-length determination under controlled conditions; however, further well-designed clinical studies are required before routine clinical implementation.","PeriodicalId":55581,"journal":{"name":"Australian Endodontic Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147678901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to evaluate the association between radiographic severity of AP and next-generation systemic inflammatory biomarkers in systemically healthy adults. Archived clinical, radiographic and haematological data of 206 adult patients treated under general anaesthesia between 2021 and 2024 were retrospectively analysed. Patients were grouped according to Periapical Index (PAI) scores. Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and platelet inflammatory value (PIV) were calculated from routine blood counts. Severe AP (PAI scores 4-5) was associated with significantly higher SII, NLR, and PIV values (p < 0.05). The number of teeth with PAI score 5 correlated positively with SII, NLR and PIV, whereas PLR showed no significant association. Greater severity of AP was associated with elevated systemic inflammatory indices. PIV may provide adjunctive information on systemic inflammatory response in patients with severe AP.","PeriodicalId":55581,"journal":{"name":"Australian Endodontic Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147647725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
