Aim: The present retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate luxated permanent teeth for pulp prognosis and risk factors.
Methodology: Case records and radiographs of 224 patients, involving 427 luxated permanent teeth, referred for treatment at the Dental Trauma Center-School of Dentistry, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, (DTC-SD-UFMG) from 2014 to 2022, were assessed for pulp prognosis classified as vitality, necrosis and pulp canal obliteration (PCO). A competing risk survival analysis estimated the hazards of the three outcomes, and the effect of demographic, clinical and treatment variables was tested using a cause specific Cox regression model.

Background/aims: Domestic violence (DV) encompasses a series of abusive behaviors, perpetrated in a family environment, against individuals of all ages and genders. Injuries to the head, neck, and face are frequent findings among victims of abuse, negatively impacting their quality of life. Although oral and maxillofacial injuries (OMFI) and traumatic dental injuries (TDI) are commonly diagnosed among DV victims, their prevalence is still unknown.

Methods: Seven electronic and two grey literature databases were searched, up to December 2021, for studies that reported the TDI prevalence among dental emergencies. The Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist for prevalence studies, and The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach were used to assess the risk of bias and quality of evidence respectively.
Objective: To evaluate matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression in replanted permanent teeth with external root resorption (ERR).
Design: The present cross-sectional study included 42 patients with replanted permanent teeth, presenting with progressive forms of ERR, and referred for extraction according to the rehabilitation treatment plan or due to root fractures. The control group consisted of 12 healthy premolars, from 5 patients with good periodontal health and no radiographic evidence of root resorption, referred for extraction for orthodontic reasons.
Article Synopsis
- This study looked at what happens to teeth that get knocked out (avulsed) and then put back in, especially in younger people whose teeth are still growing.
- Most of the replanted teeth had problems, with about 78% getting infected and not healing, while only 13% showed signs of healing.
- It was found that if a tooth is put back within 15 minutes, it's more likely to heal, and teeth that are still developing are less likely to get infections after replanting.
