Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify radiographic and clinical characteristics of post-traumatic transient apical breakdown (TAB) in luxated permanent teeth, using data from 56 patients treated over 31 years.
- Analysis of 89 teeth showed that upper central incisors were most affected, with common injuries being extrusion and lateral luxation; TAB was characterized by changes in the periodontal ligament and root resorption.
- The time for TAB to appear was generally around 3.2 months, with significant differences based on TAB patterns, and the average duration for regression was 9.1 months following the trauma.

Introduction: The Sayers and Newton questionnaire was developed in England to assess the child's and parent's expectations about orthodontic treatment.
Objective: The aim of this study was to carry out the cross-cultural adaptation of the questionnaire for the Brazilian Portuguese language, to test its reliability, and to compare patients' and their parents' expectations of orthodontic treatment.
Methods: After translation and cross-cultural adaptation, the questionnaire was applied to 98 patients (12-14 years), who had been referred for treatment, and their caregivers.
Background/aim: Orofacial trauma and traumatic dental injuries (TDI) are serious public health problems due to their high prevalence, severe morbidity, high costs of treatment, and long-term sequelae. However, the extent of the problem may be underestimated since trauma analysis, from a forensic odontology perspective, is not widely represented in the scientific literature. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of traumatic orofacial injuries (TOI) and TDI in unidentified bodies and their association with the cause of death.

One of the major limitations during the evaluation of forensic orofacial damages is establishing the consolidation date of acquired lesions. The consolidation date is defined as the moment from which orofacial damages are considered irreversible.
