Pathologic changes related to impacted teeth are infrequent. However, considerable damage to bone and adjacent teeth may result if they do occur. Four patients are described in whom different circumstances existed with impacted teeth. Extractions are indicated when the anatomic location of the impacted teeth is most favorable and when the patient's systemic and hematologic condition is least compromising, even if the teeth are asymptomatic at that time.

Clinical characteristics and removal of broken burs retained in the lower jaw.

BMC Oral Health

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Oral & Maxillofacial Reconstruction and Regeneration, Key Laboratory of Oral Biomedicine Ministry of Education, Hubei Key Laboratory of Stomatology, School & Hospital of Stomatology, Wuhan University, Wuhan, China.

Background: A broken bur retained in the lower jaw is an uncommon complication that occurs during the extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar. The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of the broken burs and review our experience with the removal of the broken burs in these cases.

Methods: All patients, who suffered the broken bur remained in the lower jaw due to the extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar and presented to our hospital from July 2019 to July 2024, were included in this retrospective study.

A prediction method and evaluation for assessing guide-supported dental implant accuracy.

Comput Methods Biomech Biomed Engin

February 2025

Zhejiang Weilian Technology Co., Ltd, Jiaxing, China.

Functional and esthetic results require accurate implant placement. We aimed to develop a predictive method for assessing dental implant accuracy, and to evaluate the cumulative system influence of surgical guides. A mathematical model was constructed to determine the influence of surface changes on a specific point, using Jacobian matrix expressions.

Evaluation of Silica and Bioglass Nanomaterials in Pulp-like Living Materials.

ACS Biomater Sci Eng

January 2025

Sorbonne Université, CNRS, Laboratoire de Chimie de la Matière Condensée de Paris, Paris 75252, France.

Although silicon is a widespread constituent in dental materials, its possible influence on the formation and repair of teeth remains largely unexplored. Here, we studied the effect of two silicic acid-releasing nanomaterials, silica and bioglass, on a living model of pulp consisting of dental pulp stem cells seeded in dense type I collagen hydrogels. Silica nanoparticles and released silicic acid had little effect on cell viability and mineralization efficiency but impacted metabolic activity, delayed matrix remodeling, and led to heterogeneous cell distribution.

Efficacy of root canal treatment for autotransplanted third molars: a 6-Year cohort study of 167 teeth in southern China.

PeerJ

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases & National Center for Stomatology & National Clinical Research Center for Oral Diseases, West China Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.

Background: Autogenous tooth transplantation offers significant advantages and promising success rates for replacing non-retainable teeth. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic factors, especially the impact of root canal treatment (RCT), of autotransplanted teeth in an up-to-6-year follow-up cohort of 167 teeth in Southern China.

Methods: We enrolled adult patients from the Southern Medical University-Shenzhen Stomatology Hospital between 2017 and 2023.

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the impact of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on pain, swelling, trismus, soft tissue healing and bone regeneration following mandibular third molar extraction.

Material And Methods: A systematic review was conducted from a period of January 2014 to June 2024 using PRISMA guidelines. The search strategy included databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, using key terms related to "PRF", "PRP", oral surgery, and third molars.
