Pulp Revascularization in an Autotransplanted Mature Tooth: Visualization with Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Histopathologic Correlation.

Autotransplantation of a mature tooth usually leads to pulpal necrosis. Root canal treatment is recommended to prevent related inflammatory complications a few weeks after surgery. Extraoral root-end resection may facilitate reperfusion and obviate root canal treatment, but cannot be pictured with conventional dental radiography at this point in time.

Extraoral Root-End Resection May Promote Pulpal Revascularization in Autotransplanted Mature Teeth-A Retrospective Study.

Tooth germ autotransplantation of open apices of the teeth exhibits high pulpal healing rates, whereas that of mature permanent teeth normally causes irreversible pulpal necrosis. Extraoral root-end resection (EORER) during transplantation may promote pulpal revascularization (PRV) in transplanted mature teeth and reduce endodontic treatment requirement. This study compared the primary outcomes of survival rates, PRV, and root resorption and determined relevant confounders in autotransplanted mature and immature teeth.

Present status and future directions: Endodontic management of traumatic injuries to permanent teeth.

The prognosis of traumatized teeth depends largely on the fate of the pulp and its treatment. This review aims to update the present status on the endodontic management of traumatic injuries to permanent teeth and to identify relevant research areas that could contribute to an improvement in diagnosis and treatment of traumatized permanent teeth. Future research should pay greater attention to (1) diagnostic methods to assess the perfusion of the pulp and enhance detection of tooth cracks and initial signs of root resorption; (2) improved materials for vital pulp treatment; (3) studies focusing on type and duration of splinting after root fractures; (4) antiresorptive intracanal medication in case of posttraumatic pulp necrosis and infection-related resorption and (5) long-term data on the apical barrier technique compared to revitalization.

European Society of Endodontology position statement: endodontic management of traumatized permanent teeth.

This position statement represents a consensus of an expert committee convened by the European Society of Endodontology (ESE) on the endodontic management of traumatized permanent teeth. A recent comprehensive review with detailed background information provides the basis for this position statement (Krastl et al. 2021, International Endodontic Journal, https://doi.

Endodontic management of traumatized permanent teeth: a comprehensive review.

The pulp plays a key role in the treatment of traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) and is strongly associated with the outcome, particularly in severe cases. A correct pulp diagnosis is essential as it forms the basis for developing the appropriate management strategy. However, many TDIs are complex, and their treatment requires a profound knowledge of the physiological and pathological responses of the affected tissues.

Influence of Extraoral Apicoectomy on Revascularization of an Autotransplanted Tooth: A Case Report.

Autotransplantation is considered a standard procedure with a poorer prognosis for mature than for immature teeth. In this case report, the root tip of an almost fully developed tooth was resected during autotransplantation to fit into a deficient recipient site. As a positive side effect, the apical foramen was enlarged, with potential improvement of the probability of revascularization.

Guidelines for the Management of Traumatic Dental Injuries: 1. Fractures and Luxations of Permanent Teeth.

Arrest and Calcification Repair of internal root resorption with a novel treatment approach: Report of two cases.

Aim: We report a novel treatment option for teeth with internal root resorption (IRR) in which the lesion had perforated to the PDL and was located in the coronal aspect of the root. Arrest and calcification of IRR can be achieved by local application of calcium hydroxide without further intracanal instrumentation.

Case Report: Two cases of severe IRR without periapical inflammation were treated with a novel technique: The vital pulp including the granuloma was left in place and subjected to long-term disinfection with application of calcium hydroxide in the coronal aspect of the IRR.

Treatment of invasive cervical resorption with sandwich technique using mineral trioxide aggregate: a case report.

This article presents two cases of large invasive cervical resorption (ICR) with maintenance of pulp vitality after treatment with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in a sandwich technique.Invasive cervical resorption is a relatively uncommon but aggressive form of external resorption, primarily caused by dental trauma or injury of the cervical periodontal attachment. The resorptive process does not penetrate into the root canal, and the pulp is not involved in the first phase of the resorption.

An analysis of 58 traumatically intruded and surgically extruded permanent teeth.

Fifty-eight traumatically intruded and mainly surgically extruded permanent teeth were followed up for 3 years and 4 months (mid-term results: 29 teeth) and 9 months (short-term results: 29 teeth) on average. Statistically, the mid-term results showed more cases of severe crown discoloration (54%) than the short-term results (9%), but no difference in pulpal and periodontal healing. Three teeth (5%) were lost.

A retrospective classification of tooth injuries using a new scoring system.

The WHO classification presently in use categories dental trauma only according to the main injury. A new scoring system will now enable more precise and complete diagnosis of tooth injuries. In an initial retrospective investigation, 100 traumatised teeth were classified according to the WHO and the new scoring systems.

Five-year follow-up of internal bleaching.

A 5-year clinical follow-up study was conducted to determine the longevity of originally acceptable results for internal bleaching. The "walking internal bleaching" method is an acceptable technique of lightening discolored anterior teeth to provide an esthetically pleasing match with adjacent teeth. This follow-up study revealed a success rate of 79% for all indications after 5 years.

Intrapulpal temperature during preparation with the Er:YAG laser compared to the conventional burr: an in vitro study.

Objective: The authors explored whether the preparation with the Er:YAG laser showed a difference in increase of intrapulpal temperature in comparison to the conventional burr.

Summary Background Data: The effect of preparation with the Er:YAG laser on the temperature in the pulp is probably the biggest problem in using the laser for preparation of dental hard tissue.

Methods: The effect on the temperature in the pulp was studied on extracted human incisors and canines in vitro in palatinal class I cavities.

Secretoneurin, a novel neuropeptide, in the human dental pulp.

Secretoneurin is a neuropeptide that is stored in and released from primary afferent neurones. By radioimmunoassay and immunohistochemistry, secretoneurin was here demonstrated in the human dental pulp and localized in varicose nerve fibres that were frequently associated with blood vessels. No significant correlation was found between the levels of immunoreactive secretoneurin and immunoreactive calcitonin-gene related peptide.
