Introduction: Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is a biological process that can affect the vascularization of the dental pulp. The forces exerted on the teeth may increase periapical pressure that could compress the arterioles, which in turn affects pulpal blood flow (PBF). The study aimed to investigate how OTM affects PBF during orthodontic space closure.

Objectives: During caries progression, dental pulp is increasingly pathologically affected. Since the accurate assessment of pulp is of vital importance in clinical decision-making, this study aimed to evaluate pulpal condition in the early stages of caries via laser Doppler (LD) flowmetry and histologic analysis and determine their agreement.

Methods: Fourteen patients with severe dental crowding were included.

(1) Background: Abemaciclib combined with endocrine therapy is a standard first- or later-line of treatment for HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer (MBC). The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to describe the outcomes of patients treated in a real-world setting, with particular focus on elderly patients. (2) Patients and methods: Patients treated with abemaciclib between November 2019 and February 2022 were included in the study.

Background: Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is a biological process that can influence the function of the pulp, including its innervation. The excitability of the nerve fibres of the pulp may be altered by forces exerted on the nerve fibres or by reduced blood flow to the pulp. The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the sensitivity of the dental pulp during levelling and during the phase of space closure, to assess the role of certain controlled risk factors.

Objectives: The aim of our study was to assess the correlation between T relaxation times and their variability with the histopathological results of the same teeth in relation to caries progression.

Materials And Methods: 52 extracted permanent premolars were included in the study. Prior to extractions, patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning and teeth were evaluated using ICDAS classification.
