Aim: To analyze the influence of a crown fracture without pulp exposure on the risk of pulp necrosis (PN) in teeth with extrusion or lateral luxation.
Material And Methods: The study included 82 permanent incisors with extrusion from 78 patients (57 male, 21 female) and 179 permanent incisors with lateral luxation from 149 patients (87 male, 62 female). A total of 25 teeth with extrusion and 33 teeth with lateral luxation had suffered a concomitant crown fracture (infraction, enamel fracture or enamel-dentin-fracture). All the teeth were examined and treated according to a standardized protocol.
Statistics: The risk of PN was analyzed separately for teeth with immature and mature root development by the Kaplan-Meier method, the log-rank test and Cox regression (lateral luxation only). The level of significance was set at 5%. Risk factors included in the analysis were gender, age, crown fracture, and response to electric pulp test at the initial examination.
Results: A concomitant crown fracture significantly increased the risk of PN in teeth with lateral luxation. For teeth with immature root development (hazard ratio: 10 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.1-100] P = 0.04), the overall risk increased from 4.7% (95% CI: 0-10.8) to 40% (95% CI: 2.8-77.2). For teeth with mature root development [hazard ratio: 2.4 (95% CI: 1.4-4.2) P < 0.001], the overall risk increased from 65.1% (95% CI: 55.2-75.1) to 93% (95% CI: 85.5-100). In teeth with extrusion and mature root development, the overall risk of PN increased from 56.5% (95% CI: 37.7-75.4) to 76.5% (95% CI: 58.9-94) in case of a concomitant crown fracture, but the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05).
Conclusion: A concomitant crown fracture without pulp exposure significantly increased the risk of PN in teeth with lateral luxation. This risk factor may be used to identify teeth at increased risk of PN following lateral luxation injury.

Abnormal trochlear morphology is one of the most important factors for patellar luxation occurrence in dogs, yet no studies have investigated its prevalence in the general population. This retrospective computed tomography study was designed to evaluate the trochlear groove morphology in four small dog breeds and the prevalence of trochlear dysplasia types according to Déjour's classification depending on the breed, sex, and medial patellar luxation (MPL) presence and grade. A total of 174 joints (68 healthy, 96 grade II MPL, and 10 grade III MPL) from Mini-Pinschers, Yorkshire Terriers, Pomeranians, and Chihuahuas were included in the study.

Objective: To assess the influence of conservative or invasive treatments on the appearance of sequelae in permanent successor teeth (SPT) after injuries in the support tissues of anterior deciduous teeth (ISTDT).
Methods: This cohort study accompanied 52 children with ISTDT up to the complete eruption of the permanent successor to investigate the presence or not of SPT. Trauma was clinically evaluated according to the International Association for Dental Traumatology.
Synovial lipomatosis is an uncommon, intra-articular, fat-containing, proliferative lesion with unknown etiology that is rarely reported in dogs. A retrospective study spanning 13 years was conducted to search for cases of canine synovial lipomatosis. Among 188 synovial biopsies of major diarthrodial joints (ie, shoulder, elbow, carpus, hip, stifle, and tarsus) from 186 dogs, 4 cases (2.

The present case report is an observational study with a literature review. This case is significant because the injury is rare regarding location and clinical manifestation. A middle-aged male patient sustained a fracture at the acromial end of the clavicle with lateral fragment dislocation after falling from a bicycle.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the complication rates and long-term outcomes, as well as to refine case selection criteria for cats undergoing trochlear ridge augmentation (TRA) using an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene implant (UHMWPEI) for the treatment of patellar luxation (PL).
Methods: The clinical records from two referral veterinary hospitals were searched for cases that fitted defined inclusion criteria. A short-term assessment was based on examination and radiography at 8 weeks postoperatively.
