AI Article Synopsis

  • Two dogs experienced a spontaneous dislocation of the long digital extensor tendon.
  • They underwent a surgical procedure called sulcoplasty, along with the placement of a plate to support the extensor sulcus.
  • Both dogs showed no signs of lameness after surgery, with follow-up periods of 59 and 15 months, respectively.

Article Abstract

Two dogs with spontaneous luxation of the long digital extensor tendon of origin were managed by performing a sulcoplasty and applying a plate bridging the extensor sulcus. Lameness resolved and neither dog had recurrence of lameness 59 and 15 months following surgery.

Article Synopsis
  • Transient apical breakdown (TAB) is a temporary type of dental injury seen after tooth luxation, indicating root damage and subsequent healing, affecting about 4.2% of such injuries, according to a 1986 study.
  • This retrospective study analyzed data from 56 mature teeth of 49 patients aged 9-30 over 10 years to assess the incidence and healing of TAB after different types of dental luxation injuries.
  • Results showed high rates of TAB occurrence in various luxation injuries (subluxation 43.8%, extrusive 62.5%, lateral 75%), suggesting that mild injuries may heal spontaneously, allowing for delayed endodontic treatment until infection signs

: We report the successful surgical treatment of a case of spontaneous complete anterior crystalline lens luxation in a patient affected by retinitis pigmentosa (RP), associated with elevated intraocular pressure and pupillary block. Additionally, we review the current literature regarding the association between ectopia lentis and RP. : A 44-year-old female RP patient presented to our emergency department reporting severe ocular pain in her left eye (LE) and sickness.

Article Synopsis
  • - A study investigated the effectiveness of orthodontic extrusion for repositioning intruded maxillary incisors, involving 28 treated cases and 29 control cases that naturally re-erupted.
  • - The orthodontic extrusion method had a high success rate of 96.4%, but showed a significantly higher rate of pulp necrosis in teeth with mature roots.
  • - Overall, the outcomes for periodontal healing were similar between both treatment options, and orthodontic extrusion was found to be a safe and effective alternative to spontaneous re-eruption.

Article Synopsis
  • Dental trauma from tooth intrusion affects 0.5%-1.9% of permanent teeth, and treatment varies based on root development stages, impacting spontaneous re-eruption success.
  • A study of 80 children analyzed the re-eruption outcomes of 125 intruded teeth, categorizing root maturity into five stages and assessing treatment success rates.
  • Results showed that younger children and teeth with less mature roots (Cvek stages 1 and 2) had higher re-eruption success, while later stages (4-5) faced more complications, suggesting that advanced cases should be treated with orthodontics or surgery instead of waiting for re-eruption.
