In Vitro Dental Discoloration Provoked by Intracanal Calcium Silicate-based Dressing Used for Regenerative Endodontic Procedures: An One-year Spectrometric Analysis.

Introduction: Regenerative endodontic procedures provide conditions for the continuity of apical formation and increase of the dentin wall thickness, being a useful technique to resume root development of necrotic teeth with incomplete apex. This study aimed to evaluate the coronal discoloration promoted by a new intracanal calcium silicate-based dressing and compare it with other intracanal dressings used in regenerative endodontic procedures.

Methods: Sixty bovine incisors were prepared to simulate teeth with incomplete apexes and divided according to the intracanal dressing used: triple antibiotic paste-double antibiotic paste-DAP, calcium hydroxide associated with 2% chlorhexidine gel, calcium hydroxide associated with saline solution, and Bio-C Temp.

The association of inadequate lip coverage and malocclusion with dental trauma in Brazilian children and adolescents - A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background/aim: Dental trauma (DT) occurs frequently in children and adolescents. Therefore, understanding the factors associated with its occurrence in these age groups is important to establish specific preventive measures. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships of lip coverage, overjet, and open bite to dental trauma in Brazilian children and adolescents.
