Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence, amount, and rate of supraeruption of the maxillary second molar according to sex, age, and history of periodontitis.
Methods: Data were collected retrospectively from the charts and panoramic radiographs of 65 patients who were scheduled to undergo implant placement at the site of the mandibular second molar. The amount of supraeruption of the maxillary second molar and the alveolar bone level of the neighboring teeth were measured on digital panoramic radiographs. The prevalence was evaluated in each group, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify factors influencing the prevalence of supraeruption. The amount and the rate of supraeruption were compared between pairs of groups using the Mann-Whitney test. For all tests, values <0.05 were considered to indicate statistical significance.
Results: Supraeruption occurred in 78% of the patients. The prevalence of supraeruption was affected by sex, age, and history of periodontitis. The mean amount of supraeruption was 0.91 mm and the mean rate of supraeruption was 0.14 mm/month. The amount and the rate of supraeruption showed no significant differences according to sex, age, or the distance from the cementoenamel junction to the alveolar bone crest (>0.05).
Conclusions: These results show that the amount of supraeruption on the maxillary second molar was similar to the thickness of the enamel on the occlusal surface. When a single implant is scheduled to be placed on the mandibular second molar, supraeruption of the antagonist should be considered.

To assess the biomechanical behaviors of endodontically treated molars (ETMs) restored with endocrowns composed of different materials, forty mandibular molars were assigned to five groups (n = 8 each). Untreated molars constituted the control group (group C); the rest of the teeth that underwent root canal therapy were restored with endocrowns composed of polycrystalline ceramics (ST zirconia, UPCERA) in group ZR, lithium disilicate glass ceramics (UP.CAD, UPCERA) in group LD, resin-based nanoceramics (Hyramic, UPCERA) in group NC, and feldspathic ceramics (CEREC Blocs, Sirona) in group FC.

Tooth loss among indigenous people in the Amazon emphasizes the need for culturally appropriate oral health interventions. The objective of this study was to analyze the incidence of tooth loss in two remote Amazon indigenous populations. This prospective cohort evaluated a total of 47 indigenous in the permanent dentition at T0 and thirteen years later (T1) from two villages, Arara-Laranjal (n = 28, mean age 16.

Objectives: This study aimed to accurately assess the gingival phenotype by comparing the mean gingival thickness (GT) measured at various levels with a single-point GT measurement.
Materials And Methods: Fifty participants were divided into thin and thick gingival phenotype groups according to two different classifications. The first classification was based on the GT measured at the base of the gingival sulcus (GT1), whereas the second classification was based on the mean of the GT (GTm) measured at the base of the gingival sulcus (GT1 point) and 1 mm apical (GT2 point) and 2 mm apical to the base of the gingival sulcus (GT3 point).

Protraction of a mandibular second molar to substitute the adjacent missing first molar is challenging in clinical practice. In this case report, we demonstrated a 21-year-old patient with an untreatable periapical lesion of the mandibular right first molar. The adjacent mandibular second molar had normal root length and the third molar was mesially-impacted.

Objectives: The primary objective of this systematic review was to analyze the overall prevalence of distal caries in mandibular second molars (MSMs) associated with the presence of impacted mandibular third molars (IMTMs). Secondary objectives were to determine how IMTM position and level of impaction influence the occurrence of distal caries.
Materials And Methods: PRISMA guidelines were followed.
