The growing body of knowledge on the human genome and its variants points towards the significance of genetic factors in oral health and disease. Since the dental curricula have historically prioritized clinically oriented subjects, this focus has resulted in insufficient coverage of genetics. To leverage this knowledge in patient care, dental education must equip students with an understanding of the principles of genetics.

The hypothesis was that the quantitative method would be sensitive to reliably measure tooth wear.
Methods: Existing digital models (n = 24) gathered from a prospective clinical study were analysed.
Article Synopsis
- Biological sex is crucial for archeological and forensic studies, but current methods lack standardization for fast and accurate identification.
- A new mass spectrometry-based workflow using human dental enamel allows for efficient sex determination, processing up to 200 samples per day with high accuracy.
- This method has been validated on various teeth and successfully applied to archeological materials, enhancing the ability to study large populations rather than just individual specimens.
Background: Identifying factors associated with the occurrence of primary tooth avulsion is essential to promote prevention strategies.
Aim: To investigate the risk factors associated with primary incisor avulsion and variables associated with post-avulsion sequelae in the permanent successor.
Design: This case-control study comprised 407 children (cases) with primary incisor avulsion and 407 children (controls) with other traumatic dental injuries (TDI).
Aim: To investigate the use of optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a tool to assess general and localised hypomineralisation defects in the enamel.
Design And Materials: Ten extracted permanent teeth (four teeth with localised hypomineralisation, four teeth with general hypomineralisation, and two healthy controls) were used in this study. In addition, four participants who underwent OCT served as living controls for the extracted teeth.
Objectives: The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to investigate the occurrence of sequelae in the permanent teeth after avulsion of their primary antecessors and to evaluate the factors associated with this occurrence.
Methods: We screened 2922 records of patients with photographic and radiographic images who attended a reference centre for dental trauma in the primary teeth from 1998 to 2019. Among them, 240 were eligible records of children who had suffered avulsion of the primary incisors and were followed up until complete eruption of the permanent successors.
Purpose: Regional odontodysplasia (RO) is a rare dental anomaly affecting primary and/or permanent dentition, and leads to comprehensive treatment need. The purpose of this study was to present a larger consecutive sample with RO, discuss treatment strategies for patients with RO, and review the literature.
Materials And Methods: A consecutive, retrospective sample of seven children with RO (6 males, 1 female) including all patients diagnosed with RO in the eastern part of Denmark was conducted over a period of 15 years.
Purpose: To analyze the risk of tooth loss and complications in periodontal ligament (PDL) healing following extrusive and lateral luxation in the permanent dentition.
Materials And Methods: Eighty-two permanent teeth (78 patients) with extrusive luxation and 179 teeth (149 patients) with lateral luxation were included in the study. All teeth were examined according to a standardized protocol including clinical, photographic, and radiographic registration.
Background: Traumatic dental injuries (TDI) comprise six types of luxation and seven types of tooth fractures. The risk of pulp necrosis is increased in teeth with combination injuries where fractures and luxations occur concomitantly.
Aim: To report and compare the distributions of luxations and fracture types among children, adolescents, and adults, and to analyze the distribution and prevalence of combination injuries.
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to analyze the risk of periodontal ligament (PDL) healing complications following concussion and subluxation injuries in the permanent dentition.
Material And Method: A total 469 permanent teeth (358 patients) with concussion and 404 permanent teeth with subluxation were included in the study. All teeth were examined according to a standardized protocol including clinical, photographic, and radiographic registration.
Aim: To analyze the influence of a crown fracture without pulp exposure on the risk of pulp necrosis (PN) in teeth with extrusion or lateral luxation.
Material And Methods: The study included 82 permanent incisors with extrusion from 78 patients (57 male, 21 female) and 179 permanent incisors with lateral luxation from 149 patients (87 male, 62 female). A total of 25 teeth with extrusion and 33 teeth with lateral luxation had suffered a concomitant crown fracture (infraction, enamel fracture or enamel-dentin-fracture).
Background: The reported risk of pulp necrosis (PN) is low in teeth with concussion injuries. A concomitant crown fracture may affect the risk of PN.
Aim: To analyze the influence of a crown fracture (with and without pulp exposure) on the risk of PN in teeth with concussion injury.
Background: The reported risk of pulp necrosis (PN) is generally low in teeth with subluxation injuries. A concomitant crown fracture may increase the risk of PN in such teeth.
Aim: To analyse the influence of a concomitant trauma-related infraction, enamel-, enamel-dentin- or enamel-dentin-pulp fracture on the risk of PN in permanent teeth with subluxation injury.
