Research Question: To evaluate the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as a pulpotomy agent in primary molars.
Research Protocol: This systematic review followed the recommendation of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guideline 2020.
Literature Search: An electronic search of the databases was performed to find the effectiveness of LLLT over formocresol as a pulpotomy agent in primary molars in children aged between 3 and 10 years.
Aim: To evaluate the stress distribution of calculated standardized force on maxillary and mandibular jaw bones with proclined maxillary anterior teeth with and without the use of a mouthguard.
Materials And Methods: It's a finite element analysis (FEA) study. Maxillary and mandibular jaw models with and without mouthguard (4 mm) were created using a cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan of a 13-year-old male patient with proclined maxillary anterior teeth.
Background/aim: The delayed re-implantation of avulsed teeth results in ankylosis, followed by replacement resorption and eventual loss of the tooth within 2-4 years. To prevent tooth loss, the root surface can be etched with acid to expose the collagen fibers present in the cementum layer. This process facilitates normal reattachment and regeneration of the periodontal ligament.

These agents included silver diamine fluoride (SDF), casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), and 5% sodium fluoride (5% NaF).
Materials And Methods: All the selected teeth were divided equally into six subgroups depending on before and after acid etching and one separate control group for the in vitro study design.
