Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore the possibilities of pulp revascularization in mature anterior teeth affected by luxation injuries, particularly focusing on how patient age at the time of injury influences outcomes.
  • A total of 93 teeth from 70 patients were analyzed, with participants grouped by age, and risks of conditions like pulp canal obliteration (PCO) and pulp necrosis (PN) were calculated using specific statistical methods.
  • Results indicated that younger age groups had a lower risk of PN after 12 months compared to older groups, suggesting the potential for revascularization in patients up to 25 years old, but highlighting that the risk of PN increases with age.

Background/aim: Alveolar bone process fractures in preschool children are not well documented in the literature. Alveolar process fractures are located very close to primary teeth and permanent tooth germs. This study investigates the risk of healing complications following alveolar process fractures in the primary dentition and potential sequelae in the permanent dentition.

Over the past decade, it has become clear that the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway is critical for a variety of immune responses. This endoplasmic reticulum-anchored adaptor protein has regulatory functions in host immunity across a spectrum of conditions, including infectious diseases, autoimmunity, neurobiology and cancer. In this Review, we outline the central importance of STING in immunological processes driven by expression of type I and III interferons, as well as inflammatory cytokines, and we look at therapeutic options for targeting STING.

This systematic review aimed to evaluate the evidence related to the occurrence of pulp necrosis and related complications in permanent anterior teeth with lateral luxation. It was envisaged to address the ambiguity related to the recommendation for pulp extirpation in teeth with mature root apex. An a priori protocol was formulated as per the best practices of evidence-based medicine and registered in PROSPERO.

Background: Identifying factors associated with the occurrence of primary tooth avulsion is essential to promote prevention strategies.

Aim: To investigate the risk factors associated with primary incisor avulsion and variables associated with post-avulsion sequelae in the permanent successor.

Design: This case-control study comprised 407 children (cases) with primary incisor avulsion and 407 children (controls) with other traumatic dental injuries (TDI).
