Background: The reported risk of pulp necrosis (PN) is generally low in teeth with subluxation injuries. A concomitant crown fracture may increase the risk of PN in such teeth.
Aim: To analyse the influence of a concomitant trauma-related infraction, enamel-, enamel-dentin- or enamel-dentin-pulp fracture on the risk of PN in permanent teeth with subluxation injury.
Material And Methods: The study included 404 permanent incisors with subluxation injury from 289 patients (188 male, 101 female). Of these teeth, 137 had also suffered a concomitant crown fracture. All the teeth were examined and treated according to a standardized protocol.
Statistical Analysis: The risk of PN was analysed separately for teeth with immature and mature root development by the Kaplan-Meier method, the log-rank test and Cox regression analysis. The level of significance was set at 5%. Risk factors included in the analysis were gender, patient age, crown fracture type, mobility and response to an electric pulp test (EPT) at the initial examination.
Results: Teeth with immature root development: The risk of PN was increased in teeth with a concomitant enamel fracture (log-rank test: P = 0.002), enamel-dentin fracture (log-rank test: P < 0.0001), enamel-dentin-pulp fracture (log-rank test: P < 0.0001) and in teeth with no response to EPT at the initial examination [hazard ratio: 21 (95% confidence interval, CI: 2.5-172.5), P = 0.005]. Teeth with mature root development: the risk of PN was increased in teeth with an enamel-dentin fracture [hazard ratio: 12.2 (95% CI: 5.0-29.8), P < 0.0001], infraction [hazard ratio: 5.1 (95% CI: 1.2-21.4) P = 0.04] and in teeth with no response to EPT at the initial examination [hazard ratio: 8 (95% CI: 3.3-19.5), P < 0.0001].
Conclusion: A concomitant crown fracture and no response to EPT at the initial examination may be used to identify teeth at increased risk of PN following subluxation injury.

How Did the COVID-19 Pandemic Affect Emergency Dental Trauma Settings in Permanent Dentition? A Retrospective Study.
J Clin Med
November 2024
Department of Neurology, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, 20246 Hamburg, Germany.
: The purpose of this study was to examine how the COVID-19 pandemic influenced the patterns, distribution, and circumstances of dental trauma (DT) cases at a German cranio-maxillofacial trauma center. This retrospective analysis compared DT cases from the PreCovid (PC) period (February 2019-January 2020) with those from the IntraCovid (IC) period (February 2020-January 2021). It included an examination of baseline characteristics, types of DT, circumstances leading to DT, and the treatment approaches applied.

Introduction: This study aimed to analyze the factors affecting the occurrence of peri-implant medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (PI-MRONJ) in patients using anti-resorptive drugs (ARDs) on different implant position, inclinations, and types of prosthesis.
Methods: The data of 75 patients with bone necrosis that progressed around the implant between 2018 and 2022 were retrospectively examined to identify the factors influencing PI-MRONJ. Data, including patient demographics (age, sex, smoking status, concomitant disease, time of ARD therapy, dose of ARDs, and parafunctional habits) and implant-specific information (type of prosthesis, angle of insertion), were extracted from medical and dental records.
The development of the external genitals in female human embryos and foetuses. Part 1: Perineal thick skin, clitoris and labia.

Department of Anatomy & Embryology, Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands.
Concomitant with the rupture of the cloacal membrane in the 6th week of development, the intermediate layer of the perineal-skin epithelium thickens. We investigated its distribution and the development of the corresponding subcutaneous compartments in serial sections of female human embryos and foetuses and prepared 3D reconstructions to establish topographic relations. The thick-skin area becomes restricted to the outlets of the genital and intestinal tracts.

Article Synopsis
- Lanthanide silylphosphide chemistry is relatively unexplored compared to silylamide chemistry, with only one previously identified complex.
- The research introduces nine new lanthanide silylphosphide complexes through salt metathesis reactions and subsequent treatments, expanding our understanding of these compounds.
- Characterization techniques reveal that these complexes exhibit unique properties in coordination numbers and magnetic characteristics, differing from related silylamide complexes due to variations in bond lengths and ligand interactions.
Prognostic Implication of Ventricular Volumetry in Early Brain Computed Tomography after Cardiac Arrest.

Brain swelling after cardiac arrest may affect brain ventricular volume. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic implications of ventricular volume on early thin-slice brain computed tomography (CT) after cardiac arrest. We measured the gray-to-white matter ratio (GWR) and the characteristics and volumes of the lateral, third, and fourth ventricles.
