Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the knowledge of dental students in 10 countries about the 2020 IADT guidelines for managing traumatic dental injuries (TDIs), focusing on both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
- An online survey with 12 questions was conducted among final-year students in both pediatric dentistry and endodontics, revealing that postgraduate students scored significantly higher than undergraduates in their understanding of TDI management.
- The findings highlighted notable disparities in knowledge across different regions and an urgent need for improvements in the curriculum related to TDIs in dental education.
The objective of this report was to use topical gaseous ozone as an adjunct to conventional treatment methods and to describe the multidisciplinary management of bisphosphonate associated bone necrosis, which developed following endodontic treatment. No complaints were noted by the patients at their 1-year follow-up and the treatment showed favorable prognosis.
