Professor Il-Young Jung's research lab specializes in endodontic microbiology, dental pulp biology, and endodontic treatment outcomes, with a strong focus on the role of putative pathogens in apical periodontitis, the microbiological and anatomical challenges in root canal systems, and regenerative endodontic procedures for immature teeth. The lab employs molecular techniques such as PCR and rRNA-based probes to identify and analyze microbial communities in infected root canals, while also investigating the impact of anatomical variations on treatment success. Additionally, the lab explores dental anesthesia efficacy and the neurobiological mechanisms underlying dental pain, particularly involving TRPV1 channels in pulpitis. These interdisciplinary efforts aim to improve clinical outcomes through evidence-based, biologically informed endodontic therapies.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the epidemiology of putative pathogens in root canals with apical periodontitis and to determine the associations among the putative pathogens. Eighteen symptomatic and 20 asymptomatic teeth from 36 subjects were studied. This research was performed with polymerase chain reaction and hybridization using rRNA-based oligonucleotide probes. The most frequently found species was Fusobacterium sp. (68.4%), followed by Peptostreptococcus micros (44.7%) and
Speech therapy with tDCS was established as a treatment tool for aphasic patients after stroke. Lower initial severity was associated with good responses.
The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the canal configuration types, and the prevalence and location of anatomical variations in the mesiobuccal (MB) and mesial roots of permanent maxillary and mandibular first molars after instrumentation. The number and the type of canals were determined before instrumentation using conventional methods. All root canals from the 47 MB roots and 42 mesial roots were then instrumented to size #30 with ProFile .04 taper rotary instruments in a cro
The Brooke scale, Vignos scale and PROM of ankle dorsi-flexion were partially available to assess DMD patients. However, this study demonstrates the limitations of preexisting scales and clinical parameters incomprehensively reflecting functional changes of DMD patients.
