				<abstract><![CDATA[Objective: This study compared the effects of 5% sodium fluoride varnish (NaF) with those of 5% NaF varnish containing casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) on Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) counts in dental plaque and salivary calcium and phosphate levels in preschool children.Methods: This randomized single-blind clinical trial included 33 caries-free children aged 3–6 years who were classified as having a moderate-to-high risk of future caries development according to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) caries risk assessment guidelines. The participants were randomly allocated (1:1) to receive either sodium fluoride (NaF) varnish alone (n = 16) or NaF varnish containing CPP-ACP (n = 17). S. mutans counts in dental plaque and salivary calcium and phosphate concentrations were assessed at baseline and follow-up intervals. Data were analysed using repeated-measures ANOVA at the significance level of P &lt; 0.05.Results: Plaque S. mutans counts changed significantly over time (P &lt; 0.001), but did not differ significantly between the two groups (P &gt; 0.05). Salivary calcium and phosphate concentrations showed no significant changes over time or differences between groups (P &gt; 0.05).Conclusions: The addition of CPP-ACP to NaF varnish did not provide a statistically significant additional benefit in reducing plaque S. mutans counts or changing salivary calcium and phosphate levels compared with NaF varnish alone.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the association between soft-tissue thickness and crestal bone resorption over 12 months in patients receiving mandibular dental implants.Methods: This retrospective study analyzed the records of 66 patients (33 males and 33 females; mean age, 37.41 ± 6.23 years) who received 66 bone-level implants in the mandible between June 2021 and February 2023. Soft tissue thickness was measured intraoperatively using a standardized periodontal probe technique, and patients were categorized into thin (≤ 2.0 mm) and thick (&gt; 2.0 mm) soft-tissue groups. Peri-implant marginal bone loss was measured on standardized periapical radiographs after 12 months. Associations between marginal bone loss and soft-tissue thickness, sex, implant diameter, and implant location were evaluated. Data were analyzed using the chi-square and Mann-Whitney U tests (α = 0.05).Results: Thirty-five patients (53%) had thin soft tissue, whereas 31 (47%) had thick soft tissue. The thin-tissue group showed slightly greater marginal bone loss than the thick-tissue group (0.24 ± 0.17 vs. 0.19 ± 0.17 mm, respectively), although this difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.228). No significant associations were found between marginal bone loss and sex (P = 0.078), implant diameter (P = 0.871), or implant location (P = 0.433). Conclusions: Soft-tissue thickness at the implant site was not significantly associated with early marginal bone loss around mandibular implants over the 12-month follow-up period. These findings suggest that, under the conditions of this study, soft-tissue thickness alone may not be a major determinant of early marginal bone stability.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of calcium hydroxide (CH) and Biodentine contamination on the shear bond strength (SBS) of three universal adhesives to deep dentin.Methods: Deep dentin surfaces were prepared from 90 extracted human third molars and randomly assigned to three dentin conditions: an uncontaminated control, calcium hydroxide (CH) contamination, or Biodentine contamination. Within each condition, specimens were allocated to Scotchbond Universal Plus, Gluma Bond Universal, or G-Premio BOND Universal (n = 10 per group), resulting in a 3 × 3 factorial design. All adhesives were applied in self-etch mode. Following composite build-up, specimens underwent 5,000 thermal cycles, after which SBS and failure modes were assessed. Data were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by the Bonferroni post-hoc test. Results: Dentin condition and adhesive system significantly affected SBS (both P &lt; 0.001), whereas their interaction was not significant (P = 0.362). Uncontaminated dentin exhibited significantly higher SBS than both the CH- and Biodentine-contaminated dentin groups (both P &lt; 0.001), whereas no significant difference was detected between the two pulp-capping materials (P = 0.483). G-Premio BOND Universal demonstrated significantly higher SBS than Scotchbond Universal Plus (P = 0.006) and Gluma Bond Universal (P &lt; 0.001). Adhesive failure was the predominant failure mode, and the distribution of failure modes did not differ significantly among groups (P = 0.101).Conclusions: Calcium hydroxide and Biodentine contamination reduced SBS of universal adhesives to dentin. G-Premio BOND Universal demonstrated the highest overall SBS, irrespective of the dentin condition.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Objective: This study compared the fracture resistance of mandibular premolars instrumented using the ProTaper NEXT rotary and R-Motion reciprocating nickel-titanium file systems.Methods: In this in vitro study, 45 extracted single-rooted mandibular premolars were decoronated to obtain standardized root lengths of 13 mm. The teeth were randomly allocated to three groups (n = 15). Group I served as the uninstrumented control group. Groups II and III were instrumented using the ProTaper NEXT rotary and R-Motion reciprocating file systems, respectively. The canals were then obturated using the lateral compaction technique. A vertical load was applied to each specimen until fracture occurred. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by Tukey’s post hoc test, with significance set at P &lt; 0.05.Results: A statistically significant difference in fracture resistance was found among the groups (P = 0.006). The uninstrumented control group showed the highest mean fracture resistance (758.0 ± 149.6 N), followed by the R-Motion reciprocating group (731.9 ± 123.6 N) and the ProTaper NEXT rotary group (595.65 ± 146.06 N). No statistically significant difference was found between the uninstrumented control and R-Motion groups (P = 0.086). The ProTaper NEXT group exhibited significantly lower fracture resistance than both the uninstrumented control group (P = 0.008) and the R-Motion group (P = 0.029).Conclusions: Within the limitations of this in vitro study, the R-Motion reciprocating file system maintained fracture resistance comparable to that of the uninstrumented control group and significantly higher than that of the ProTaper NEXT rotary file system.]]></abstract>

Bibliometric indicators including publication volume, citation counts, the h-index, the g-index, author productivity, and geographic distribution were analyzed. Data were cleaned and standardized to ensure accuracy, and descriptive statistics were used to identify key trends.Results: JOE has demonstrated consistent growth in research output, publishing a total of 8,753 articles, with an average of 169.22 articles per year. The cumulative citation count was 390,265. Citation-based metrics showed a strong scholarly impact (h-index = 204; g-index = 293). The i10-index was 6,927, indicating that 6,927 articles had received at least 10 citations. Among the most highly cited research areas were root canal disinfection, regenerative endodontics, and biomaterials. Geographically, the United States accounted for the highest number of publications, followed by Brazil and China. Mahmoud Torabinejad was the most cited author, followed by Jose Siqueira Jr. and David Pashley. In terms of productivity, Siqueira Jr. ranked first with 162 articles, followed by Torabinejad (115) and Pashley (107).Conclusions: Over its 50-year history, JOE has consistently published peer-reviewed papers across a broad range of topics in endodontics. This bibliometric evaluation offers a historical and quantitative overview of the journal’s publication and citation trends.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Objective: In recognition of the Journal of Endodontics (JOE)’s fiftieth anniversary, a scientometric approach was used to evaluate patterns of scholarly collaboration, authorship trends, and thematic evolution within the journal’s publications over the past five decades.Methods: There were 8,753 articles published in JOE from 1975 to 2024, extracted from the Scopus database. Scientometric analyses included co-authorship mapping, institutional and international collaboration trends, keyword co-occurrence analysis, and topic modelling using Latent Dirichlet Allocation. VOSviewer® was used for network visualization.Results: Multi-authored publications represented 91.3% of all articles, indicating a clear shift toward collaborative research. International collaborations increased over time, with researchers from the United States, Brazil, and China accounting for the largest contributions. Co-authorship network analysis identified prominent research clusters centered on endodontic microbiology, biomaterials, and adhesive technologies. Keyword analysis and topic modeling revealed five dominant themes: pulp biology, endodontic materials, imaging and anatomy, root canal treatment, and instrument evaluation, highlighting the journal’s focus on both foundational and emerging research areas.Conclusions: This scientometric analysis shows the growth of collaborative research and changes in the thematic structure of JOE. The findings highlight the journal’s role in shaping global research trends in endodontics and provide a data-driven foundation for future editorial planning.]]></abstract>

				<abstract><![CDATA[Objective: As the Journal of Endodontics (JOE) marks its fiftieth anniversary, a valuable opportunity arises to evaluate and modernize its author guidelines in alignment with contemporary standards for transparency, reproducibility, and editorial integrity.Methods: This study built on previous bibliometric and scientometric analyses of the JOE and provided a structured assessment of its 2024–2025 author guidelines. Comparative benchmarking was performed against three leading journals, including The Lancet, Periodontology 2000, and International Endodontic Journal. The guidelines were assessed for alignment with nine internationally recognized editorial frameworks: EQUATOR Network, COPE, ICMJE, CRediT, FAIR Principles, the AMA Manual of Style, Vancouver/NLM Standards, ORCID, and TOP Guidelines.Results: The JOE demonstrates several editorial strengths, including detailed formatting instructions, a clearly structured manuscript framework, and explicit policies regarding the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI). It also offers optional support for CRediT. Nevertheless, the author guidelines should be regularly reviewed and updated to remain current, clear, and concise. Consideration is also suggested for adopting the report of ethical standards (as outlined by COPE or the ICMJE), the application of EQUATOR Network guidelines, the mandatory requirements for ORCID iDs, data availability statements, and standardized contributor role disclosures.Conclusions: JOE would benefit from a review and revision of author guidelines based on evidence-based recommendations informed by global standards and frameworks to strengthen editorial integrity, improve submission quality, and support compliance with indexing requirements.]]></abstract>
