FACTORS INFLUENCING THE TREATMENT OUTCOME OF INTENTIONAL REPLANTATION ON TEETH WITH PERIAPICAL PERIODONTITIS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS.

Objectives: The purpose of this review was to appraise the quality of evidence of the existing publications on IR, and to perform a meta-analysis on the treatment outcomes of IR.

Methods: The specific PIO questions were as follows: Population: Patients with periapical periodontitis either before or after non-surgical endodontic therapy.

Intervention: IR performed with retrograde preparation and retrograde filling.

Quantitative Assessment of Root Development after Regenerative Endodontic Therapy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Introduction: The purposes of this review were to appraise the level of evidence of the existing regenerative endodontic therapy (RET) publications, perform a meta-analysis on the survival and healing rates of necrotic immature permanent teeth treated with RET, and run a meta-analysis on the quantitative assessment of the root development of those teeth.

Methods: Electronic searches were performed in Web of Science, PubMed, CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), and Cochrane Library databases. Two authors independently screened the titles and abstracts for eligibility.

Non-Surgical Retreatment After Failed Intentional Replantation: A Case Report.

A 27-year-old male patient complained of dental pain on previously root-treated tooth #17. Intentional replantation (IR) was performed. However, the symptoms returned at 10 months of follow-up, and a sinus tract was detected on the buccal gingiva of tooth #17.

Cemental Tear on Maxillary Anterior Incisors: A Description of Clinical, Radiographic, and Histopathological Features of Two Clinical Cases.

In this case report, three teeth with complete or incomplete cemental tear in two patients were presented. Even though periapical radiograph could detect cemental tear in these three teeth, the cone-beam computed tomography scanning clearly revealed the pattern of the cemental tear, which was later confirmed by histopathological examination. Therefore, this case report shows the benefits of incorporating both cone-beam computed tomography and histopathological examination to diagnose cemental tear.

Disappearance of Intracanal Medication: A Preliminary Clinical Finding from Retrospective Review of Teeth with Vertical Root Fracture.

Objective: The purpose of this article was to report the finding of the disappearance of intracanal medication as a supporting evidence of vertical root fracture (VRF) through non-surgical intervention.

Methods: A retrospective review of the dental records of patients seen by an endodontist in a private endodontic office from September 2013 to September 2016 was conducted by the same endodontist. Cases that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were assigned as the subjects of this study, and data were extracted from their clinical and radiographic records.
