Efficacy of photobiomodulation in the treatment of avulsed teeth: A systematic review of animal studies.

The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness of photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) in managing avulsed teeth. This systematic review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (i.e.

Intentional Replantation as Treatment of Extrusive Luxation: A Case Report.

Accurate diagnosis, immediate care and proper treatment planning are important factors for the successful treatment of dental traumatic injuries. In extrusive luxation, postponement in treatment may lead to the need for new strategies for the resolution of unwanted consequences. The present case report describes an unusual condition of delayed treatment regarding extrusive luxation of two anterior teeth treated by intentional replantation.

Delayed Tooth Replantation after Root Surface Treatment with Papain and Sodium Fluoride in Rats: A Histological and Histomorphometrical Evaluation.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to examine the histological effect of papain and sodium fluoride in delayed replantation of rat incisor teeth on the repair process.

Methods And Materials: Forty upper incisors of Wistar rats were randomly assigned to four groups (=10). In group I, the dental papilla and the pulp tissue of extracted teeth were removed before immediate replantation in their sockets.

Surgical and Orthodontic Treatment of Severely Intruded Permanent Incisors: A Case Report.

Traumatic dental intrusion is a serious injury and results in significant damage to the periodontal ligament, dentin-pulp complex, and alveolar bone. This article presents a case of severe intrusion of the two upper permanent central incisors where the treatment option was the combination of the surgical and orthodontic technique. The difficulty of accessing the crowns of these teeth to bond the brackets was solved by lifting a full thickness flap.

Surface free energy of enamel treated with sodium hexametaphosphate, calcium and phosphate.

Objective: This study evaluated the capacity of sodium hexametaphosphate (HMP) at different concentrations to alter the surface properties of dental enamel in order to increase calcium and phosphate adsorption.

Design: Bovine enamel blocks (4 mm × 4 mm, n = 144, 12/group) were divided: 0%; 0.25%; 0.
