RESUMO
Both root canal sealer-based and supplementary protocols may influence removal of filling material during endodontic retreatment. Mesial root canals of extracted mandibular molars were prepared using HyFlex EDM 25/.08, and filled with a calcium silicate sealer (Bio-C Sealer), or an epoxy resin (AH Plus), using the single cone technique (n = 12). Retreatment was performed using ProDesign Logic (PDL) RT and PDL 35/.05. The specimens were randomly divided into two experimental groups (n = 12), and the sealers were distributed similarly. A supplementary protocol was performed with PDL 50/.01 or XP-endo Finisher. Root canal transportation and volume, in addition to the remaining filling material percentage were evaluated using high-resolution (5 µm voxel size) micro-CT. Statistical analysis was performed using t-tests (α = 0.05). Root canals filled with AH Plus presented high residual filling material (p < 0.05). Both protocols decreased residual volume of filling material in the apical third (p < 0.05). PDL 50/.01 increased the apical root canal volume (p < 0.05). No difference was observed between the systems regarding canal transportation (p > 0.05). In conclusion, AH Plus is more difficult to remove from the apical third than Bio-C Sealer. PDL 50/.01 and XP-endo Finisher enabled greater removal of filling materials in the apical third, in the retreatment of curved root canals, without promoting apical transport.

BACKGROUND: The results of vital pulp treatments in permanent teeth have been encouraging. Currently, pulpotomy treatment for permanent teeth primarily utilizes mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) as the dressing material, followed by calcium hydroxide. While other calcium-silicate-based cements have been suggested for pulpotomy, there is a limited number of studies evaluating their long-term effectiveness. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the success rate of pulpotomies performed on permanent teeth, comparing the use of ProRoot MTA with that of calcium hydroxide and other bioceramic materials. METHODS: A comprehensive search was conducted in several electronic databases, including PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase and Science Direct until December 2022. The search was guided by PICOS criteria, including only randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that evaluated the success rate of pulpotomy treatments in permanent teeth using ProRoot MTA in comparison to calcium hydroxide and other bioceramic materials. The quality of the included studies was assessed using the RoB-2 tool to evaluate the risk of bias, and relevant data were extracted and analysed in RevMan software 5.3 using fixed-effect models. The GRADE tool was used to determine the overall quality of evidence. RESULTS: The initial search retrieved 1072 studies and, after eliminating duplicates, 677 studies were screened and 28 studies were considered for eligibility. In the final selection process, 16 studies were included in the systematic review, with 10 being determined as having a high risk of bias. Pulpotomy showed an overall mean success rate of 92% after 1 year. The meta-analysis indicated a significantly higher success rate for pulpotomies utilizing MTA in comparison with calcium hydroxide, while no significant difference was seen between MTA and calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) or Biodentine. The GRADE assessment revealed an overall low level of evidence for the included studies. DISCUSSION: Most randomized controlled trials exhibited a significant absence of control over confounding factors. CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrate that pulpotomy is a highly effective treatment for managing permanent teeth. The results indicate that the success rate of pulpotomy using ProRoot MTA is significantly higher than when using calcium hydroxide. However, the certainty of evidence supporting these findings is low, and there is a need for well-designed RCTs to assess the long-term outcomes of pulpotomy using newer bioceramic materials. REGISTRATION: This systematic review was registered in the PROSPERO database (registration number CRD42023393970).

OBJECTIVES: To develop a 3D-printed, microparticulate hydrogel supplemented with dentin matrix molecules (DMM) as a novel regenerative strategy for dental pulp capping. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Gelatin methacryloyl microgels (7% w/v) mixed with varying concentrations of DMM were printed using a digital light projection 3D printer and lyophilized for 2 days. The release profile of the DMM-loaded microgels was measured using a bicinchoninic acid assay. Next, dental pulp exposure defects were created in maxillary first molars of Wistar rats. The exposures were randomly capped with (1) inert material - negative control, (2) microgels, (3) microgels + DMM 500 µg/ml, (4) microgels + DMM 1000 µg/ml, (5) microgels + platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF 10 ng/ml), or (6) MTA (n = 15/group). After 4 weeks, animals were euthanized, and treated molars were harvested and then processed to evaluate hard tissue deposition, pulp tissue organization, and blood vessel density. RESULTS: All the specimens from groups treated with microgel + 500 µg/ml, microgel + 1000 µg/ml, microgel + PDGF, and MTA showed the formation of organized pulp tissue, tertiary dentin, newly formed tubular and atubular dentin, and new blood vessel formation. Dentin bridge formation was greater and pulp necrosis was less in the microgel + DMM groups compared to MTA. CONCLUSIONS: The 3D-printed photocurable microgels doped with DMM exhibited favorable cellular and inflammatory pulp responses, and significantly more tertiary dentin deposition. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: 3D-printed microgel with DMM is a promising biomaterial for dentin and dental pulp regeneration in pulp capping procedures.

The repair of large bone defects is lengthy and complex. Both biomaterials and phototherapy have been used to improve bone repair. We aimed to describe histologically the repair of tibial fractures treated by wiring (W), irradiated or not, with laser (λ780 nm, 70 mW, CW, spot area of 0.5 cm2, 20.4 J/cm2 (4 × 5.1 J/cm2, Twin Flex Evolution®, MM Optics, Sao Carlos, SP, Brazil) per session, 300 s, 142.8 J/cm2 per treatment) or LED (λ850 ± 10 nm, 150 mW, spot area of 0.5 cm2, 20.4 J/cm2 per session, 64 s, 142.8 J/cm2 per treatment, Fisioled®, MM Optics, Sao Carlos, Sao Paulo, Brazil) and associated or not to the use of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA, Angelus®, Londrina, PR, Brazil). Inflammation was discrete on groups W and W + LEDPT and absent on the others. Phototherapy protocols started immediately before suturing and repeated at every other day for 15 days. Collagen deposition intense on groups W + LEDPT, W + BIO-MTA + LaserPT and W + BIO-MTA + LEDPT and discrete or moderate on the other groups. Reabsorption was discrete on groups W and W + LEDPT and absent on the other groups. Neoformation varied greatly between groups. Most groups were partial and moderately filed with new-formed bone (W, W + LaserPT, W + LEDPT, W + BIO-MTA + LEDPT). On groups W + BIO-MTA and W + BIO-MTA + LaserPT bone, neoformation was intense and complete. Our results are indicative that the association of MTA and PBMT (λ = 780 nm) improves the repair of complete tibial fracture treated with wire osteosynthesis in a rodent model more efficiently than LED (λ = 850 ± 10 nm).

Materiales y Métodos: El artículo se basa en una revisión sistemática de la literatura, por ello, se utilizaron como fuentes de información las bases de datos: PubMed, Scielo, y Biblioteca Virtual de Salud. Asimismo, como criterios de inclusión se establecieron publicaciones del año 2008 al 2019, cuya procedencia se derivó de journalsy revistas académicas arbitradas; los cuales permitieron obtener dieciséis ensayos que evaluaban la eficacia clínica a través de los signos y síntomas de las patologías pulpares más comunes: absceso, inflamación gingival, movilidad patológica, dolor a la percusión y dolor espontáneo. Resultados: El MTA obtuvo una eficacia de 97,9% en contraposición al 86,9% del Sulfato Férrico. En relación al Formocresol, el MTA logró el 99% contra un 98,3% de eficacia. Además, en la comparación del MTA con el Hidróxido de Calcio el primero logró un 98,2% y el segundo 74,5%. Conclusiones: El MTA obtuvo una mayor eficacia clínica debido a su biocompatibilidad, pH básico y su elevada facultad al sellar la cámara pulpar. Por lo tanto, puede emplearse como un material seguro para las pulpotomías de pacientes pediátricos.
Objetivo: Analisar a eficácia clínica do Agregado de Trióxido Mineral (MTA) em pulpotomias através de estudos comparativos com formocresol, sulfato férrico e hidróxido de cálcio; em pacientes pediátricos de três a nove anos de idade. Materiais e Métodos: O artigo é baseado em uma revisão sistemática da literatura, portanto, bases de dados foram utilizadas como fontes de informação: PubMed, Scielo, e Biblioteca Virtual. Da mesma forma, como critério de inclusão, foram estabelecidas publicações de 2008 a 2019, cuja origem foi derivada de periódicos e revistas acadêmicas de referência; o que nos permitiu obter dezesseis ensaios que avaliaram a eficácia clínica através dos sinais e sintomas das doenças mais comuns da polpa: abscesso, inflamação gengival, mobilidade patológica, dor na percussão e dor espontânea. Resultados: A MTA obteve uma eficácia de 97,9% contra 86,9% para o sulfato férrico. Em relação ao Formocresol, o MTA alcançou 99% contra 98,3% de eficácia. Além disso, na comparação do MTA com o hidróxido de cálcio, o primeiro atingiu 98,2% e o segundo 74,5%. Conclusões: A MTA obteve uma maior eficácia clínica devido a sua biocompatibilidade, pH básico e sua alta faculdade ao selar a câmara de celulose. Portanto, pode ser usado como material segura para pulpotomias de pacientes pediátricos.
Objective: To analyze the clinical efficacy of the Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) in pulpotomies through comparative studies with formocresol, ferric sulfate and calcium hydroxide; in pediatric patients aged three to nine years. Materials and Methods: The article is based on a systematic review of the literature, therefore, databases were used as sources of information: PubMed, Scielo, and Virtual Health Library. Likewise, as inclusion criteria, publications from 2008 to 2019 were established, whose origin was derived from journals and refereed academic journals; which allowed us to obtain sixteen trials that evaluated clinical efficacy through the signs and symptoms of the most common pulp diseases: abscess, gingival inflammation, pathological mobility, pain on percussion and spontaneous pain. Results: MTA obtained an efficacy of 97.9% as opposed to 86.9% for ferric sulfate. Concerning to Formocresol, MTA achieved 99% versus 98.3% efficacy. Also, in the comparison of MTA with Calcium Hydroxide, the former achieved 98.2% and the latter 74.5%. Conclusions: MTA obtained a higher clinical efficacy due to its biocompatibility, basic pH and its high faculty when sealing the pulp chamber. Therefore, it can be used as a safe material for pediatric patient pulpotomies.

RESUMEN: Introducción: En dentición primaria, la pulpotomía con formocresol ha sido convencionalmente utilizada para el tratamiento de caries cercanas a la pulpa. Sin embargo, la seguridad de este material ha sido cuestionada. Por otro lado, el biodentine ha sido propuesto como un biomaterial sustituto bioactivo de la dentina, pero no está clara su efectividad. Métodos: Realizamos una búsqueda en Epistemonikos, la mayor base de datos de revisiones sistemáticas en salud, la cual es mantenida mediante el cribado de múltiples fuentes de información, incluyendo MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, entre otras. Extrajimos los datos desde las revisiones identificadas, analizamos los datos de los estudios primarios, realizamos un metanálisis y una tabla GRADE para el resumen de los resultados. Resultados y conclusiones: Identificamos tres revisiones sistemáticas que en conjunto incluyeron dos estudios primarios, ambos correspondientes a ensayos aleatorizados. Concluimos que no se puede establecer con claridad si biodentine comparado con formocresol aumenta el éxito clínico y el éxito radiográfico en pulpotomía en pacientes con dentición primaria, debido a que la certeza de la evidencia existente ha sido evaluada como muy baja.
ABSTRACT: Introduction: Pulpotomy with formocresol is the main treatment protocol following carious pulp exposure in primary teeth, but many concerns have been raised regarding its safety. Biodentine has been proposed as a bioactive dentine substitute, but there is still uncertainty regarding its effectiveness. Methods: We searched in Epistemonikos, the largest database of systematic reviews in health, which is maintained by screening multiple information sources, including MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane, among others. We extracted data from the systematic reviews, reanalyzed data of primary studies, conducted a meta-analysis and generated a summary of findings table using the GRADE approach. Results and conclusions: We identified three systematic reviews including two studies overall, of which both were randomized trials. We are uncertain whether biodentine compared to formocresol for pulpotomy improves clinical and radiographic success, as the certainty of the evidence has been assessed as very low.

A avulsão dentária consiste no completo deslocamento traumático do dente do interior de seu alvéolo, ocasionando rompimento do suprimento sanguíneo e fibras periodontais. O reimplante imediato é considerado como melhor conduta, porém, nem sempre é possível. Quando necessário o tratamento endodôntico, é desejável que se utilizem materiais com boas propriedades biológicas e principalmente uma medicação intracanal biocompatível e que estimule a reparação tecidual. Objetivo: relatar um caso clínico de tratamento endodôntico utilizando um material à base de silicato de cálcio como medicação intracanal em um dente permanente avulsionado e reimplantado tardiamente. Relato de caso: paciente do gênero masculino, 13 anos de idade, compareceu à clínica odontológica com o dente 12 avulsionado. O dente permaneceu fora da cavidade oral por cerca de 30 minutos e o meio de armazenamento foi soro fisiológico. Após a limpeza e o reposicionamento do elemento dentário, fez-se necessária a instalação da contenção com fio semirrígido. Posteriormente, o tratamento endodôntico foi realizado, no qual a medicação intracanal de escolha foi o BIO-C TEMP®, sendo realizada a proservação por 24 meses. Consideração final: o uso de um material à base de silicato de cálcio que possui propriedades biológicas importantes e formulação "pronta para uso" pode ser uma alternativa promissora como medicação intracanal em dentes traumatizados.(AU)
Tooth avulsion consists of the complete traumatic displacement of the tooth from the inside of its alveolus, causing rupture of the blood supply and periodontal fibers. Immediate reimplantation is considered the best approach, however, it is not always possible. When endodontic treatment is necessary, it is desirable to use materials with good biological properties and especially biocompatible intracanal medication that stimulates tissue repair. Objective: to report a clinical case of endodontic treatment using a material based on calcium silicate as intracanal medication in an avulsed and late reimplanted permanent tooth. Case report: male patient, 13 years old, came to the dental clinic with the tooth 12 avulsed, remained outside the oral cavity for about 30 minutes, the storage medium was saline. After cleaning and repositioning the element, it was necessary to install the containment with semi-rigid wire. Subsequently, endodontic treatment was performed, in which the intracanal medication was BIO-C TEMP® and followed up for 24 months. Final consideration: the use of calcium silicate-based material has important biological properties and a "ready-to-use" formulation, which can be a promising alternative as an intracanal medication in traumatized teeth.

Internal root resorption is characterised by progressive loss of tooth substance initiating at the root canal wall as a result of clastic activity. This report describes a case of a perforating internal root resorption on a maxillary central incisor in a 25-year-old patient. The perforating internal root resorption was firstly diagnosed with periapical radiographs and assessed with full detail with the aid of CBCT, allowing determination of the extension and areas involved in the resorption lesion, as well as the treatment planning. According to these findings, a MTA barrier was performed on the root, -coronally to the resorption lesion, leaving the root apically to the resorption lesion untouched. Clinical findings and periapical radiographs indicated complete resolution of the radiolucency associated with the resorptive defect, with reestablishment of lamina dura along the root and occlusion of the lumen of the root canal in the apical segment, after a 5-year follow-up.

This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the effect of different toothpastes on dental enamel subjected to an erosive cycle with and without exposure to cigarette smoke. Bovine enamel specimens were randomly allocated into 12 groups (n = 12). For the in vitro simulation of smoking, half the groups underwent an exposure cycle of 20 cigarettes per day for 5 days. Subsequently, all groups were subjected to a 5-day erosion cycle intercalating demineralization (1 min; 1% citric acid; pH = 3.5) and treatment with toothpaste slurries (2 min) of NaF, SnF2, F/Sn/Chitosan, F/CaSiO3/Na3PO4, and F/bioactive glass. The control group was immersed in distilled water. Surface microhardness (SMH) was measured initially, after exposure to smoke, and after the erosive cycle, and %SMH was calculated. At the end of the experimental cycle, surface roughness, profilometry, and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were performed. SMH increased after exposure to cigarette smoke (p < 0.05). After the erosive cycle, there were no differences between the presence and absence of cigarette smoke exposure in SMH and roughness (p > 0.05). Besides increasing enamel SMH, cigarette smoke did not prevent enamel loss after the erosion cycle (p < 0.05). In profilometry, roughness and surface loss had the lowest values in the groups treated with SnF2 and F/Sn/Chitosan (p < 0.05). AFM showed lower mineral loss with F/CaSiO3/Na3PO4 and F/Sn/Chitosan. For all groups, except F/CaSiO3/Na3PO4, cigarette smoke resulted in higher enamel wear. F/Sn/Chitosan showed the best results against erosion.

This study aimed to evaluate the role of photobiomodulation (PBM) in apexification and apexogenesis of necrotic rat molars with an open apex. Rat molars were exposed to the oral environment for 3 weeks. Canals were rinsed with 2.5% NaOCl and 17% EDTA, filled with antibiotic paste and sealed. After 7 days, canals were rinsed and divided into six groups (n=6): mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA); blood clot (BC); human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSC); MTA+PBM; BC+PBM; and hDPSC+PBM. In hDPSC groups, a 1% agarose gel scaffold was used. Two groups were not exposed: healthy tooth+PBM (n = 6), healthy tooth (n = 3); and one was exposed throughout the experiment: necrotic tooth (n = 3). In PBM groups, irradiation was performed with aluminum gallium indium phosphide (InGaAlP) diode laser for 30 days within 24-h intervals. After that, the specimens were processed for histological and immunohistochemical analyses. Necrotic tooth showed greater neutrophil infiltrate (p < 0.05). Necrotic tooth, healthy tooth, and healthy tooth+PBM groups showed absence of a thin layer of fibrous condensation in the periapical area. All the other groups stimulated the formation of a thicker layer of fibers (p < 0.05). All groups formed more mineralized tissue than necrotic tooth (p < 0.05). PBM associated with MTA, BC, or hDPSC formed more mineralized tissue (p < 0.05). MTA+PBM induced apexification (p < 0.05). Rabbit polyclonal anti-bone sialoprotein (BSP) antibody confirmed the histological findings of mineralized tissue formation, and hDPSC groups exhibited higher percentage of BSP-positive cells. It can be concluded that PBM improved apexification and favored apexogenesis in necrotic rat molars with an open apex.
