Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes of Immature Teeth Treated with Different Treatment Protocols of Regenerative Endodontic Procedures: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Regenerative endodontic procedure (REP) is a progressive treatment modality for immature permanent teeth with necrotic pulp. The ambiguousness about the predictability of REP outcome in relation to complete disinfection of the root canal system and the occurrence of discoloration still exists. The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze two treatment protocols on clinical success rate, radiographic root development and the occurrence of discoloration.

The influence of gingival phenotype on the morphology of the maxillary central papilla.

Background: Preservation of the interdental papilla is an essential part of the functional and esthetic rehabilitation of dental treatment. It has been described that thicker gingival tissues are more resistant to recession. The main objective of this investigation was to analyze whether a thin gingival phenotype represents a potential risk indicator affecting interdental papilla fill, height, or width in an esthetic region between maxillary central incisors.
