Epidemiological profile of luxations injuries with or without dental fractures in permanent teeth: A 10-years retrospective study.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the occurrence of luxation injuries and related dental fractures in patients treated at a Brazilian dental school clinic from 2012 to 2022.
- Data were collected from 366 clinical records, highlighting that men were more likely to experience luxation injuries than women, with extrusive luxation being the most common type.
- Results indicated that patients with luxation injuries sought care more quickly and had a higher likelihood of needing endodontic treatment, particularly for injuries resulting from traffic accidents, though luxation combined with fractures did not increase treatment needs.
This study evaluated the influence of ultrasonic activation (US) on the antimicrobial activity of a new final irrigant containing glycolic acid (GA). Extracted teeth were used, being 70 to counting of colony-forming units (CFUs) and 35 to confocal laser scanning microscopy. Samples were inoculated with Enterococcus faecalis and divided into 7 groups: distilled water + US; 17% EDTA; Qmix; 17% GA; 17% EDTA + US; QMix + US; and 17% GA + US and kept in contact with test solution for 1 min in the groups with or no US.

Methods: Three adhesives containing antibacterial components (Gluma 2Bond (glutaraldehyde)/G2B, Clearfil SE Protect (MDPB)/CSP and Peak Universal Bond (PUB)/chlorhexidine) and the same adhesive versions without antibacterial agents (Gluma Comfort Bond/GCB, Clearfil SE Bond/CSB and Peak LC Bond/PLB) were tested. The AA of adhesives and control groups was evaluated by direct contact method against four strict anaerobic and four facultative bacteria.
