Pulp revascularization is the traditional protocol for treating immature necrotic teeth; however, it is not the usual management practice for traumatized teeth with horizontal root fracture. This is a case report of an 11-year-old patient subjected to trauma that occurred four years prior to treatment. The trauma led to horizontal root fracture in tooth #11, and the immature tooth #21 became necrotic with periapical radiolucency. Both teeth were treated with revascularization procedures. Each tooth was disinfected with triple antibiotic paste and a coronal seal using mineral trioxide aggregate. During the eight-year follow-up using periapical radiograph and cone beam computed tomography, tooth #21 showed periapical repair with apical closure. The fractured rooted tooth #11 was functional and asymptomatic, with evidence of bone growth inside the fracture line. From this case outcome, revascularization can be a successful treatment modality for traumatized teeth that have either root fracture or necrotic open apex.

Nd: YAP Laser in the Elimination of Endodontic Nickel-Titanium Files Fractured in Rooted Canals (Part 1: Teeth With Minimal Root Curvature).

Background Fracture of nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) instruments in root canals is commonly associated with compromised outcomes in endodontic treatment. There is no single, universally accepted approach for managing this complication. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of an Nd: YAP laser-assisted protocol in removing fractured Ni-Ti files in teeth with minimal root curvature (less than 15 degrees).

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to report increased infection rates after knee ligament reconstructions due to undetectable sterilization process errors leading to residual moisture, not limited to a specific surgical tool. It was hypothesized that (1) residual moisture on surgical tools due to autoclave overloading would not be detected by autoclave self-diagnostics, chemical and biological tests, or organoleptic assessment and (2) this kind of contamination may elevate infection rates, especially in knee intra-articular reconstruction procedures.

Pulp chamber and root canal obliteration (PCO/RCO) presents a challenge for clinicians when nonsurgical endodontic treatment is indicated. Guided endodontics (GE) aims to precisely locate the root canal (RC) system while preserving as much pericervical dentin as possible. GE involves integrating cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) of the affected tooth with a digital impression of the maxillary/mandibular arch, allowing for careful planning of the drilling path to the RC system through a three-dimensional (3D) static guide.

Introduction: While there is some data on the bone health of transgender individuals, less is known about their fracture patterns. The authors of this study aimed to describe the anatomic locations of fractures and the prevalence of select comorbidities among transgender patients who presented with fractures at a single institution.
Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective chart review of patients with fractures at a single institution between January 2020 and January 2021.

Purpose: Restoring ferrule-lacking, noncircular canal endodontically treated teeth (ETT) poses challenges owing to the increased susceptibility to root fracture and post dislodgement. We aimed to evaluate the influence of different post and core materials on the stress distribution and maximum Von Mises stress in ETT.
Methods: Four three-dimensional models were generated using different customized post and core materials: gold alloy, resin nanoceramic, polyetheretherketone (PEEK), and polyetherketoneketone (PEKK).
