Predictors for Dental Intervention in Children After Dental Injury: A Retrospective Analysis and Literature Review.

Objective: This study aimed to explore risk factors for dental intervention in patients presenting to the pediatric emergency department (PED) after dental injury.

Methods: We retrospectively explored patients aged 0 to 18 years who presented to our PED between 2017 and 2021 after dental injury.

Results: Of the total of 830 patients (mean age 7.

Surgical management of odontogenic cysts involving the maxillary sinus- a retrospective study.

Objective: To describe our strategy for the management of odontogenic cysts involving the maxillary sinus, and to define the role of transnasal endoscopic sinus surgery in the treatment algorithm.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted. Included were all consecutive patients with odontogenic cysts involving the maxillary sinus who were treated in a single medical center between 2011 and 2019.

Accelerated Bone Regeneration by Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Dots Functionalized with Hydroxyapatite Nanoparticles.

We investigated the osteogenic potential of nitrogen-doped carbon dots (NCDs) conjugated with hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles on the MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cell functions and in a zebrafish (ZF) jawbone regeneration (JBR) model. The NCDs-HA nanoparticles were fabricated by a hydrothermal cum co-precipitation technique. The surface structures of NCDs-HA nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction; Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), UV-vis, and laser fluorescence spectroscopies; and scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS), and NMR analyses.
