AI Article Synopsis
- Pulpotomy is a dental procedure for preserving primary teeth, and this study specifically looked at outcomes when using iRoot BP Plus in primary molars over a follow-up period of 1-3 years.
- A total of 183 primary molars from 106 patients were analyzed, revealing high success rates of 96.7% for clinical outcomes and 92.9% for radiographic results.
- The hemostasis time (how quickly bleeding is controlled) did not significantly affect the success rates, nor did the type of tooth or dental arch.
Article Abstract
Background: Pulpotomy is a crucial method to preserve primary teeth until natural exfoliation. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of pulpotomy with iRoot BP Plus in primary molars and to explore the association between hemostasis time and these outcomes.
Methods: Primary molars that underwent iRoot BP Plus pulpotomy and were followed for at least 12 months were selected for this study. Clinical and radiographic data were collected, and the success rate was analyzed in relation to factors such as hemostasis time, tooth type, and arch type. The tests of significance used were the chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, or Kruskal-Wallis test. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05.
Results: A total of 183 teeth in 106 patients were included in the analysis. The follow-up period fell into a range of 1-3 years, with a mean of 1.6 years. The clinical and radiographic success rates were 96.7% and 92.9%, respectively. The earliest time to observe the radiographic failures was half a year after the treatment, and the latest time was two years after the treatment. Among all the teeth, 130 were recorded with hemostasis time before the application of iRoot BP Plus. Compared to teeth with a hemostasis time of 5 min or less, teeth with a hemostasis time exceeding 5 min showed no significant differences in clinical and radiographic success (P = 1.000 and 0.879). Additionally, neither arch nor teeth type showed a relationship with the pulpotomy success rate (P > 0.05).
Conclusions: Pulpotomy using iRoot BP Plus in primary molars achieved favorable results. The hemostasis time may not significantly impact the outcomes of pulpotomy using iRoot BP Plus in primary molars.

Background: The growing demand for esthetic restorative materials highlights the need to evaluate their marginal accuracy and fracture resistance to ensure optimal clinical outcomes for primary molars.
Aim: The aim was to assess the vertical marginal gap distance and fracture resistance of esthetic restorative materials after cyclic loading.
Design: Forty extracted primary molars were randomly divided into four groups: Group I, stainless steel veneered crowns with tooth-colored material; Group II, prefabricated monolithic zirconia crowns; Group III, yttria-partially stabilized zirconia computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) crowns; and Group IV, hybrid ceramic CAD/CAM crowns.

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.

Background: Hybrid Odontogenic Tumors (HOT) are defined by the presence of two or more independent odontogenic tumors that originate from and affect the same maxillofacial site.
Methods: The present study is the first case report of a mandibular HOT consisting of Ameloblastoma, Calcifying Epithelial Odontogenic Tumor, and Ameloblastic Fibroma.
Case Report: A 37-year-old otherwise healthy male presented with the chief complaint of swelling in the right mandibular body.

Joubert Syndrome (JS) is a congenital cerebellar ataxia typically inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, although rare X-linked inheritance can occur. It is characterized by hypotonia evolving into ataxia, global developmental delay, oculomotor apraxia, breathing dysregulation, and multiorgan involvement. To date, there are 40 causative genes implicated in JS, all of which encode proteins of the primary cilium.

Exploring the application of minimally invasive techniques in the extraction of impacted mandibular third molar (IMTM), to achieve the treatment goal of "less trauma, short time, fast recovery", remains the focus of dentists. For now, the IMTM are mostly extracted in pieces after removing the crown and root resistance by bone removal and tooth segmentation, using 45°reverse-angle high speed turbine, piezosurgery, chisel or other dynamic system. However, There is a lack of principle-level parsing in different provinces and primary hospitals, while experience is still the main factor in avoiding excessive bone removal in complex IMTM extraction, as well as optimizing the specific position and angle of the parting teeth, finding the fulcrum and designing the best dislocation path when there is root resistance.
