Article Synopsis
- - The study explores the scientific history and trends in dental fragment reattachment following traumatic injuries, showing it results in excellent cosmetic and functional outcomes, based on a bibliometric analysis of 129 articles from 1988 to 2024.
- - The majority of the research focuses on clinical case follow-ups, mainly involving coronal fractures in young patients, with the leading journal being Dental Traumatology, and Brazil noted as the most active country in this field.
- - The analysis reveals a need for more intervention studies and systematic reviews, as well as increased research efforts in Africa, Oceania, and North America, while showcasing collaborative networks among researchers.
This study aimed to identify and analyze articles on enamel microabrasion for the treatment of white spot lesions. A search was conducted on the Web of Science. The following parameters were recorded and analyzed: number of citations, year, journal, impact factor, study design, theme, country and continent, institution, authors, and keywords.

Methods: The search was conducted in the Web of Science database in December 2023. Scopus and Google Scholar were used to compare the number of citations.
Article Synopsis
- Bruxism, a behavior linked to various health consequences, particularly affects children, but it can also serve as a protective factor against negative outcomes.
- A longitudinal study followed 1,816 children from 2014 to 2019 to assess the incidence of sleep bruxism (SB) and dental wear, finding no increase in SB incidence but a significant risk (2.2 times higher) for dental wear in those affected.
- The study concluded that children with sleep bruxism typically continued this behavior through the years and experienced higher levels of dental wear, indicating a consistent association with related health issues.
Background: Premature loss of primary teeth presents a significant challenge in oral health, with conflicting views on using space maintainers.
Aim: To assess mandibular arch space changes associated with premature lower primary molar (PM) loss with or without a space maintainer.
Design: A randomized clinical trial with children (6-9 years old) with premature loss of a lower PM divided into two groups: control group (CG), without a space maintainer, and intervention group (IG), with a space maintainer.
Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the 100 most cited articles on dental sealants, focusing on citation counts, publication years, authors, journals, and research design.
- Most articles (41%) had interventional designs and concentrated on the effectiveness of dental sealants in preventing caries, predominantly published between 1961 and 2016.
- The research highlighted that the majority of influential work came from North America, particularly the USA, with the most cited authors and institutions primarily based there, showing limited global collaboration.

Methods And Results: A search strategy was constructed and conducted at the Web of Science in the category of "Dentistry, Oral Surgery, and Medicine". The following information was extracted from each paper: title, authorship, year of publication, title of the journal, study subject, study design, age range of sample participants, type of disability, institution, country and continent, number of citations and citation density.
Background/aim: Dr. Jens Ove Andreasen, the "father" of dental traumatology, passed away on September 26, 2020. As a tribute, the aim of this study was to catalog and analyze the top 100 most-cited papers (co)authored by Dr.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: There is no consensus whether the pre-emptive administration of analgesics reduces trans- and post-operative pain in primary molar extraction.
Aim: Investigate whether the pre-emptive administration of ibuprofen and paracetamol reduces trans- and post-operative pain on primary molars extraction compared to placebo.
Design: A parallel, placebo-controlled, triple-blind, randomized clinical trial was conducted.
Purpose: To investigate the prevalence of probable sleep bruxism (SB) in the primary and mixed dentitions using non-instrumental approach and evaluate whether sleep quality is associate with probable SB in different age ranges.
Methods: School-based cross-sectional study with children aged 2-5 (primary dentition, n = 372) and 8-10 years old (mixed dentition, n = 563) enrolled in public schools at Florianopolis and their parents. The sleep characteristics, socioeconomic status, and presence of probable SB were assessed using questionnaires.
