Management of Laryngoscope-Induced Iatrogenic Dental Injury: A Case Series.
Bull Emerg Trauma
January 2024
Dental injury is a common anesthesia-related adverse event, with a high incidence of damage to teeth and surrounding tissues during oro-endotracheal intubation. Poor oral hygiene, compromised periodontium, faulty or loose prosthesis, proclined maxillary incisors along with increased difficulty level of airway management, improper use of laryngoscope, and use of maxillary anterior teeth as a fulcrum for achieving accessibility to the airway are all risk factors for iatrogenic dental injury. This type of injury provides additional physical and psychological trauma to patients who have already undergone medical surgical procedures.

- This study systematically reviewed the outcomes of laser pulpotomy versus conventional methods in primary teeth, focusing on clinical and radiographic success rates.
- An electronic search identified 18 randomized controlled trials for analysis, evaluating different laser types against traditional pulpotomy techniques.
- Results showed no significant differences in success rates between laser and conventional methods, suggesting that diode laser and low-level laser therapy can be effective alternatives, although further high-quality research is needed.
The case report describes the successful interdisciplinary management of a nine-year-old girl who suffered from traumatic intrusion and rotation of her immature teeth with 12 mm apical displacement of teeth 11 and 21 and 10 mm of teeth 12 and 22. It emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive and contemporary approach, which includes orthodontic intervention and regenerative endodontic procedures (REP). The report follows the CARE (case report) guidelines.

Article Synopsis
- * Combining the methanol extract with the biocontrol agent Trichoderma viride resulted in significant antifungal activity (82.92%) and reduced disease incidence in tomato plants affected by Fusarium wilt.
- * The research also highlighted that the combined treatment led to higher levels of defense enzymes in the plants, suggesting that their increased presence plays a critical role in enhancing disease resistance.
