Treatment of Young Permanent Avulsed Teeth with Multidisciplinary Approach-A Case Report.

Dental trauma very commonly comprises lesions that affect the teeth and their supporting structures. In pediatric ages, the main reasons for dental trauma are falls and accidents at school and while practicing recreative activities and sports. Fortunately, dental avulsions are not common; however, they are key factors in the loss of teeth if the issue is not adequately treated in a quick way, so is very important for parents, teachers, or any person that is present with a child during the accident to have knowledge about dental trauma, specifically regarding avulsed teeth, since the best treatment is reimplantation.

α-IRAK-4 Suppresses the Activation of RANK/RANKL Pathway on Macrophages Exposed to Endodontic Microorganisms.

Periapical lesions are common pathologies affecting the alveolar bone, often initiated by intraradicular lesions resulting from microbial exposure to dental pulp. These microorganisms trigger inflammatory and immune responses. When endodontic treatment fails to eliminate the infection, periapical lesions persist, leading to bone loss.

Increased IL-12p70 and IL-8 Produced by Monocytes in Response to spp. and spp. Causals of Endodontic Primary Infections.

We sought to evaluate the effect of endodontic-causative microorganisms of primary infections on mononuclear cells such as CD14, CD4, CD8, CD19 and Tregs Foxp3. Facultative anaerobic microorganisms were isolated from radicular conducts and peripheral blood samples, which were taken from patients with primary infections. Cellular cultures were performed with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with and without spp.

Efficacy of the HBW Ultrasonic Ring for retrieval of fragmented manual or rotatory instruments.

A study was conducted to evaluate the success rates of bypassing or removing fragments of instruments that had fractured within the roots of mandibular molars using a HBW Ultrasonic Ring. Forty extracted first permanent mandibular molars with root canal curvature were included. The teeth were distributed randomly into four groups according to the type of instrument and the root canal third where they had fractured.

MTA-Based Cements: Biocompatibility and Effects on the Gene Expression of Collagen Type 1 and TGF-1.

Objective: This study sought to evaluate the biocompatibility of Neomineral Trioxide Aggregate (Neo-MTA), MTA Repair High Plasticity (MTA-HP), and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate-Angelus white (MTA-Ang) in fibroblasts of human dental pulp.

Materials And Methods: Morphology was evaluated after 24 h of incubation. assay and cell adhesion tests were performed at 24 h of treatment.

Root canal microorganisms and their antibiotic susceptibility in patients with persistent endodontic infections, with and without clinical symptoms.

Secondary/persistent infections are present in teeth with previous root canal treatment, and a great variety of anaerobic microorganisms has been observed in these infections. The antibiotics prescription is occasional; however, in some cases, it is essential, particularly when the general health condition of the patient is compromised. The aims of this study were to identify the associated microorganisms in diagnosis of persistent or secondary apical periodontitis and to evaluate the susceptibility level to the antibiotics most used.

Evaluation of in vitro biofilm elimination of Enterococcus faecalis using a continuous ultrasonic irrigation device.

This study sought to evaluate biofilm elimination using the HBW Ultrasonic Ring based on continuous ultrasonic irrigation. Forty-five premolars and molars with complex curvatures were included. An Enterococcus faecalis biofilm was established for 30 days on the extracted teeth.

Cytotoxicity, Cell Adhesion, and Apoptotic Gene Expression in Periodontal Ligament Fibroblasts treated with Endodontic Sealers.

Objective: The present study assessed cytotoxicity, cell adhesion, and apoptotic gene expression in periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PLF) treated with 2 endodontic sealers.

Methods: PLF cells were obtained from nonerupted third molars and cultured. MTS and LIVE/DEAD assays were performed using different treatments and time periods.

Aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms and antibiotic sensitivity of odontogenic maxillofacial infections.

This study aimed to identify the aerobic and anaerobic causal microorganisms of odontogenic infections and their antibiotic sensitivity. Purulent exudates were taken from patients with odontogenic infections by transdermal puncture, and aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms were identified using biochemical tests. Susceptibility to antibiotics was tested using the Kirby-Bauer method; the inhibition halos were measured according to NCCLS, and based on the results, the microorganisms were classified as susceptible, intermediate or resistant to each antibiotic.

[Frequency of Candida in root canals of teeth with primary and persistent endodontic infections].

Background: Microbiological identification in endodontic infections has focused mainly on bacteria without giving much attention to yeasts, which, due to their virulence factors, can affect the outcomes of root canal treatment.

Aims: To determine the frequency of Candida in anaerobic conditions in root canals with primary and persistent endodontic infection, as well as to evaluate a microbiological sampling method using aspiration compared to the traditional absorption method with paper points.

Methods: Fifty microbiological samples were obtained from teeth of 47 patients requiring endodontic treatments, due to either primary or persistent infections.

Cytotoxicity and Initial Biocompatibility of Endodontic Biomaterials (MTA and Biodentine™) Used as Root-End Filling Materials.

Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity and cellular adhesion of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine (BD) on periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDL). Methods.

Sustained release of calcium hydroxide from poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) acid microspheres for apexification.

Calcium hydroxide (CH) loaded poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) acid (PLGA) microspheres (MS) might be used for apexification requiring a sustained release of Ca(2+). The aim of this study was to formulate and characterize CH-PLGA-MS. The CH-loaded MS were prepared by either oil-in-water (O/W) or water-in-oil/in-water (W/O/W) emulsion solvent evaporation technique.

Comparison between rotary and manual techniques on duration of instrumentation and obturation times in primary teeth.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the duration of instrumentation and obturation times and quality of root canal filling between rotary and manual instrumentation techniques in primary teeth.

Study Design: A randomized, controlled clinical trial was performed that included deciduous teeth with pulp necrotic. Forty necrotic teeth were included; 20 were instrumented with a rotary technique (experimental group) and 20 with a manual technique (control group).
