Case: We present a unique case of a 45-year-old man with his right middle finger embedded with rings. Limited finger flexion was noted because of flexor tendon injury caused by the dorsal migration of the embedded ring through joint. The rings were removed under anesthesia, resulting in the resolution of swelling and recover of osseous structure. Follow-up examinations revealed no residual edema or numbness, indicating preserved neurovascularization, despite the dorsal migration of the ring.
Conclusion: Our unique case reveals continuous finger ring migration without compromising neurovascular bundles, with review of 30 cases emphasizing the importance of psychiatric consultation. Timely intervention yielded nearly half of patients achieving full recovery.

The preservation of vital dental pulp with vasculature and nerve components remains one of the most significant challenges in modern dentistry. Due to the immense potential for neurovascularization, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation has shown emerging promise in regenerative medicine and dental translational practice. Actually, pulp mesenchymal stem cells, including postnatal dental pulp stem cells (from permanent teeth) and stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth, possess unique properties based on their origins from neural crest or glial cells.
