Article Synopsis
- - This systematic literature review investigates how fixed orthodontic treatment during adolescence impacts dietary habits, emphasizing the importance of understanding these changes to provide suitable dietary advice.
- - An extensive search in the PubMed database uncovered 224 articles, with only nine studies meeting the criteria for inclusion, and most of these studies found significant dietary modifications after treatment began.
- - The conclusion highlights that adolescents undergoing orthodontic treatment tend to favor softer foods, suggesting the need for customized dietary recommendations prior to starting treatment to support growth and health.
Objectives: Epidemiological data regarding the evolution of problems related to mastication and swallowing with age are lacking. This study aims to (i) describe changes in oral function with age, using data from a large French population, (ii) validate online, self-report uses of an ICF questionnaire in older persons, and (iii) assess whether impairment is related to avoidance of certain foods, xerostomia, body mass index (BMI) and oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL).
Methods: Volunteers aged ≥18 years with internet access completed a series of questionnaires on sociodemographic, anthropometric and oral health characteristics (oral function, Xerostomia Index (XI), OHRQoL, reasons for avoidance of certain food).
Article Synopsis
- Endocrowns are a restoration option for teeth that have undergone root canal treatment, and this study explores their use in teeth treated with full pulpotomy, a specific type of partial tooth removal.
- The research involved testing 110 extracted molars and 110 resin simulators to compare their mechanical strength under various treatment protocols and preparation designs.
- Findings revealed that strength resistance was significantly lower in resin simulators compared to natural teeth, indicating that resin models are not effective for in vitro strength assessments, and strength may not be the key factor in selecting materials or methods for endocrown restorations.
Article Synopsis
- Endodontic treatment is crucial for managing dental trauma, especially in young patients with luxation or avulsion, to prevent long-term complications.
- A clinical case of a 10-year-old with severe dental trauma illustrated the effectiveness of delayed endodontic treatment to maintain the dental space while waiting for implant options.
- A multi-disciplinary approach is essential in treating adolescent dental trauma, considering factors like treatment difficulty, prognosis, and growth stages.
Evidence-based evaluations of dental treatment are needed to support the development of special care dentistry services. This retrospective study was designed to collect and analyse X-ray images of permanent teeth restored with stainless steel crowns (SSC) in patients treated under general anaesthesia. Between 2013 and 2019, 360 permanent molars were crowned with SSCs in 198 adult patients.

We also calculated the positive and negative predictive values, positive and negative log-likelihoods, inter-examiner and intra-examiner variations, and concordance rates (CRs) of both devices compared to GS and to each other.Materials and methods One hundred and twenty-one extracted posterior teeth were included.

The development of chairside CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing) technology has made it possible to carry out indirect restoration of endodontically treated teeth in a single session. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcome of a full pulpotomy with Biodentine™ immediately covered with a chairside CAD/CAM endocrown on teeth affected by pulpitis and deep carious lesions.

This study aimed at evaluating the long-term outcome of full pulpotomy in permanent molars performed with reinforced zinc oxide-eugenol cement (Intermediate Restorative Material [IRM], Dentsply Sirona, Versailles, France) immediately restored using stainless steel crowns under general anesthesia.
Methods: The absence of clinical signs and symptoms and the evolution of the periapical index between the treatment date and the longest follow-up time were used to grade the pulpotomy outcome as "effective," "uncertain," or "ineffective.
Introduction: In many countries, dental students are taught in private or university hospitals where they treat patients under the supervision of teachers. Assessing the quality of root canal treatments (RCT) would provide information about the quality of care patients receive when treated by students.
Methods: This study describes the six-step "Plan" phase of a Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle that identifies and analyses clinical practices in endodontics in a university dental hospital service.
