Combined Management of Apical Root Fracture and Avulsion of Two Maxillary Permanent Central Incisors: A Case Report.

As a result of a skiing accident, a ten-year-old girl suffered combined injuries to both maxillary central incisor teeth (#1.1 and #2.1).

Management of the Sequelae of a Sport-Related Traumatic Dental Injury Using Ultrasound Examination in the Diagnosis and Follow-Up.

About a quarter of all oral pathologies involving the oral cavity and dental apparatus are traumatic injuries, and a substantial number of these cases are the result of sports injuries affecting adolescents and young adults. Here, we report the case of a 25-year-old healthy female referred to the department of Endodontics for the evaluation and management of teeth 1.2 and 1.

Proresolving Mediators in Endodontics: A Systematic Review.

Introduction: Proresolving lipid mediators are specialized molecules (SPMs) involved in the active resolution of the inflammatory process by regulating tissue homeostasis. The aim of this study was to investigate the scientific literature to assess the potential of SPMs as an adjunct in the treatment of endodontic infection.

Methods: Three electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus) were searched from their inception until February 2020 (PROSPERO CRD42020164743).

Peri-Implant Tissue Adaptation after Implant Rehabilitation with Shoulderless Abutments with 24 Months of Follow-Up.

An 11-year-old girl presented with agenesis of the maxillary lateral incisors. Orthodontic treatment was performed to close the midline diastema and create adequate space between the central incisors and canines to replace the missing maxillary lateral incisors on both sides. Two-piece implants were placed, and shoulderless abutments were prepared following the "biologically oriented preparation technique" (BOPT) protocol.

Correction of Gingival Architecture Using the Biologically Oriented Preparation Technique in Two Patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus.

Two female patients positive for human immunodeficiency virus and receiving antiretroviral treatment presented with esthetic concerns due to fixed dental prostheses in the anterior region. The patients had gingival recession and short clinical crowns in the esthetic zone. In both cases, the biologically oriented preparation technique was used to recreate ideal proportions between the teeth and gingivae.

Multimodular Assessment of a Traumatic Bone Cyst Overlapped with Apical Periodontitis.

Traumatic bone cyst (TBC), a "pseudocyst" that usually affects long bones, is a rare lesion among cystic lesions in the jaws. The most commonly affected site is the posterior mandible. Most of the time, TBC is asymptomatic and discovered during routine radiographic examination.

The given names of the authors are swapped with their family names.

A 12-month follow-up of primary and secondary root canal treatment in teeth obturated with a hydraulic sealer.

Objectives: This randomized, controlled, pilot study assessed the outcome of non-surgical primary/secondary root canal treatments either with a novel bioactive sealer and the single-cone technique or with gutta-percha, zinc oxide-eugenol sealer (ZOE), and warm vertical compaction.

Materials And Methods: Sixty-nine patients were randomly divided into two groups that were treated using the single-cone technique with BioRoot RCS (Septodont) (BIO group) or warm vertical compaction with gutta-percha and ZOE sealer (PCS group). Two subsamples (BIOAP and PCSAP) comprised the cases with apical periodontitis.

The effectiveness of ultrasound examination to assess the healing process of bone lesions of the jaws: a systematic review.

Objective: To assess the potential of ultrasound examination (USE) as an adjunctive method to conventional radiology to evaluate the healing processes occurring after the treatment of bone lesions of the jaws. The research question was: what is the effectiveness of USE to evaluate the healing of intra-osseous bone lesions when compared to radiological or clinical examination?

Materials And Methods: Six databases (PubMed, the Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Best Evidence) were searched from their inception (PROSPERO CRD42019134482). A quality assessment was performed combining the Downs and Black tool and the Newcastle-Ottawa scale.

Ultrasound Examination to Visualize and Trace Sinus Tracts of Endodontic Origin.

Introduction: The detection of a tooth with a sinus tract (ST) of endodontic origin and its pathway are conventionally assessed with a periapical radiograph and a gutta-percha cone introduced into its stoma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility to detect STs and trace their route using ultrasound real-time examination.

Methods: Two calibrated examiners performed echography on 10 patients who had a lesion of apical periodontitis (AP) and ST and 10 patients in the control group with AP without an ST recruited in 2 endodontic practices.

Ultrasound examination with color power Doppler to assess the early response of apical periodontitis to the endodontic treatment.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the possibility to detect early vascular changes in apical periodontitis (AP) using ultrasound examination with color power Doppler (US-CPD) and to establish a correlation between the early response of AP to treatment and its potential healing.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-one apical lesions were visualized with US-CPD before endodontic treatment, 1 week after the first access to endodontic system and 4 weeks after root canal obturation. A differential diagnosis between cystic lesions (CLs) and granulomatous lesions (GLs) was attempted.

Ultrasonography in the diagnosis of bone lesions of the jaws: a systematic review.

The diagnostic use of ultrasonography in dentistry and maxillofacial surgery has previously been described in the literature. Considering that ultrasonography may be useful for the diagnosis of bone lesions of the jaws, a systematic review was carried out to examine the evidence. This review determined that ultrasonography has been used effectively for the diagnosis of infective and/or inflammatory lesions, cysts, nonodontogenic tumors, odontogenic tumors, and arteriovenous malformations and for the differential diagnosis of lesions of endodontic origin, compared with the gold standard of histologic analysis.

Root Canal Treatment versus Single-Tooth Implant: A Systematic Review of Internet Content.

Introduction: There is an absence of professional consensus regarding when a tooth should be retained with root canal treatment and when to extract and replace it with an implant. Considering that patients often seek health-related information on the Internet, completeness and accuracy of online content are highly desirable. Websites should also fulfill several technical characteristics to be accessible to all.
