Regenerative potential of mesoporous silica nanoparticles scaffold on dental pulp and root maturation in immature dog's teeth: a histologic and radiographic study. BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:817. [PMID: 39026199 PMCID: PMC11264670 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-04368-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate histologically and radiographically the potential of dog's immature roots with apical periodontitis to regenerate after regenerative endodontic treatment using mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with/without bone morphogenic protein (BMP-2) as scaffolds. METHODS In 4 mongrel dogs, 56 immature teeth with 96 roots were infected, resulting in necrotic pulps and periapical pathosis. According to the evaluation time (Group I = 30 days and Group II = 90 days), 90 roots were divided into two equal groups (45 roots each) and 6 roots used to replace any lost root during the procedure. The two main groups were further divided according to treatment protocol into 5 subgroups (9 roots each): blood clot (BC subgroup), mesoporous silica nanoparticles scaffold only (MSNs subgroup), mesoporous silica nanoparticles impregnated with BMP2 (MSNs + BMP2 subgroup), infected teeth without treatment (+ ve control subgroup) and normal untouched teeth (-ve control subgroup). All teeth surfaces were coated with Tincture iodine and calcium hydroxide was applied prior to treatment protocols. Then, teeth were restored with glass ionomer filling to seal the remaining part of the access cavity. Radiography evaluation of the increase in root length, root thickness and occurrence of apical closure were performed. Following the sacrifice of the two dogs at each time of evaluation, histopathological analysis was performed and included the inflammatory cells count, bone resorption, tissue ingrowth, deposition of hard tissue, and closure of the apical part. All data were statistically analyzed. RESULTS Compared to BC subgroup, MSNs and MSNs + BMP-2 subgroups exhibited significant higher increase in root length and thickness as well as higher vital tissue in-growth and new hard tissue formation in group II (P < 0.05). MSNs + BMP-2 subgroup had significant higher increase in root length and thickness as well as significant lower inflammatory cell count than MSNs subgroup in both groups (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences between MSNs and MSNs + BMP-2 subgroups regarding new hard tissue formation in both groups and apical closure in group I (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION MSNs with/without BMP-2 scaffolds enabled the continuing growth of roots in immature teeth with necrotic pulps and periapical pathosis. Addition of BMP-2 to MSNs scaffold improved its outcome in regenerative endodontics. CLINICAL RELEVANCE MSNs with/without BMP-2 scaffolds may alternate blood clot for regenerative endodontic treatment of immature teeth with necrotic pulps.

Combination of metformin and double antibiotic paste for the regeneration of non-vital immature teeth: a preliminary randomized clinical study. BMC Oral Health 2023; 23:847. [PMID: 37951861 PMCID: PMC10638745 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-023-03591-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2023] [Accepted: 10/28/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study aimed to investigate whether incorporating metformin in double antibiotic paste (DAP) can promote the regeneration process of non-vital immature teeth. METHODS Out of 32 pediatric patients undergoing regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs), 6 cases with a follow-up period of less than 12 months or lack of documentation were excluded then the remaining 26 were analyzed. 15 cases received DAP, and 11 cases received a DAP + metformin as the intra-canal medicament, kept for an average of 23 days. During 18 months of follow-up, clinical and radiographic examinations were performed to evaluate the treatment outcomes based on the resolution of apical periodontitis, root development, and the occurrence of intracanal calcification. The chi-square test was used for the statistical analysis (P < 0.05). RESULTS All patients demonstrated resolution of apical periodontitis; however, complete apical closure was only seen in 50% of the patients. The rate of apical closure and root length was significantly higher in the DAP + metformin group (P = 0.047), although the two groups were not significantly different in terms of root width (P = 0.184). Canal obliteration was seen in 15% of cases, all of which were in the DAP group. CONCLUSIONS According to the present findings, metformin could promote root development in the regeneration process when incorporated in DAP. TRIAL REGISTRATION This clinical trial was registered on the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT20200120046197N1) on 26.2.2021.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This randomized clinical trial aimed to assess and compare the long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of Regenerative Endodontic Procedures (REP) in treating non-vital immature permanent teeth using two intra-canal medicaments. METHODS Forty-five patients yielding a total of 50 anterior and posterior non-vital immature teeth were randomly divided into 2 groups. REP utilizing either non-setting calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) (n=25) or modified triple antibiotic paste (TAP) (n=25), as intra-canal medicaments were performed. NeoMTA Plus (Avalon Biomed Inc™, Houston, Texas, USA) was applied for coronal sealing. Cases were followed up clinically and radiographically for 36 months. Survival rate, success rate, and clinical outcome measures were analyzed. Preoperative and recall radiographs were evaluated for dimensional changes in root length, dentin thickness, apical diameter, and periapical radiolucency. RESULTS At 36 months follow up, success and survival rates were 81.6%, and 100% respectively, in which 79.4% of cases showed complete resolution of periapical radiolucency, with no significant difference between non-setting Ca(OH)2 and modified TAP groups (P>0.050). The cumulative changes in root length, root dentin thickness and apical diameter, throughout the study period, were observed in 47.9%, 77.1%, and 89.6 %, of cases respectively, with no significant differences between both groups (P≥ 0.39). Intra-canal calcifications were detected in 60% of cases with no significant difference between both groups (P=0.77). CONCLUSIONS REP, using either non-setting Ca(OH)2 or modified TAP as intra-canal medicament, exhibited high success and survival rates, over a follow up period of 36 months, with equally favorable clinical and radiographic outcome data.

Abstract
Pulpal and periapical diseases are the most common dental diseases. The traditional treatment is root canal therapy, which achieves satisfactory therapeutic outcomes-especially for mature permanent teeth. Apexification, pulpotomy, and pulp revascularization are common techniques used for immature permanent teeth to accelerate the development of the root. However, there are obstacles to achieving functional pulp regeneration. Recently, two methods have been proposed based on tissue engineering: stem cell transplantation, and cell homing. One of the goals of functional pulp regeneration is to achieve innervation. Nerves play a vital role in dentin formation, nutrition, sensation, and defense in the pulp. Successful neural regeneration faces tough challenges in both animal studies and clinical trials. Investigation of the regeneration and repair of the nerves in the pulp has become a serious undertaking. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of the key stem cells, signaling molecules, and biomaterials that could promote neural regeneration as part of pulp regeneration. We also discuss the challenges in preclinical or clinical neural regeneration applications to guide deep research in the future.

Abstract
This study was aimed at engineering photocrosslinkable azithromycin (AZ)-laden gelatin methacryloyl fibers via electrospinning to serve as a localized and biodegradable drug delivery system for endodontic infection control. AZ at three distinct amounts was mixed with solubilized gelatin methacryloyl and the photoinitiator to obtain the following fibers: GelMA+5%AZ, GelMA+10%AZ, and GelMA+15%AZ. Fiber morphology, diameter, AZ incorporation, mechanical properties, degradation profile, and antimicrobial action against Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Actinomyces naeslundii were also studied. In vitro compatibility with human-derived dental pulp stem cells and inflammatory response in vivo using a subcutaneous rat model were also determined. A bead-free fibrous microstructure with interconnected pores was observed for all groups. GelMA and GelMA+10%AZ had the highest fiber diameter means. The tensile strength of the GelMA-based fibers was reduced upon AZ addition. A similar pattern was observed for the degradation profile in vitro. GelMA+15%AZ fibers led to the highest bacterial inhibition. The presence of AZ, regardless of the concentration, did not pose significant toxicity. In vivo findings indicated higher blood vessel formation, mild inflammation, and mature and thick well-oriented collagen fibers interweaving with the engineered fibers. Altogether, AZ-laden photocrosslinkable GelMA fibers had adequate mechanical and degradation properties, with 15%AZ displaying significant antimicrobial activity without compromising biocompatibility.

Abstract
The regenerative endodontic procedure (REP) represents a treatment option for immature necrotic teeth with a periapical lesion. Currently, this therapy has a wide field of pre-clinical and clinical applications, but no standardization exists regarding successful criteria. Thus, by analysis of animal and human studies, the aim of this systematic review was to highlight the main characteristics of the tissue generated by REP. A customized search of PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Web of Science databases from January 2000 to January 2022 was conducted. Seventy-five human and forty-nine animal studies were selected. In humans, the evaluation criteria were clinical 2D and 3D radiographic examinations. Most of the studies identified a successful REP with an asymptomatic tooth, apical lesion healing, and increased root thickness and length. In animals, histological and radiological criteria were considered. Newly formed tissues in the canals were fibrous, cementum, or bone-like tissues along the dentine walls depending on the area of the root. REP assured tooth development and viability. However, further studies are needed to identify procedures to successfully reproduce the physiological structure and function of the dentin–pulp complex.

Upgradation of sludge deep dewatering conditioners through persulfate activated by ferrous: Compatibility with sludge incineration, dewatering mechanism, ecological risks elimination and carbon emission performance. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 211:113024.

Abstract
Serious loss of organic substances and notable release of refractory intracellular organics and cell-free antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) caused by cell lysis are found when quick lime, FeCl3, and cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) were used as sludge conditioners, which is not feasible to sludge separate incineration and increases ecological risks. Therefore, persulfate oxidation through ferrous (Fe2+-Na2S2O8) activation was applied for the upgradation of sludge conditioner in China, the specific resistance to filtration (SRF) and capillary suction time (CST) significantly decreased and the removed water increased from 40% to 54%, implying that the persulfate activated by ferrous (PAF) conditioner presents good performance in sludge dewatering. Organic matter content and heating value of sludge merely decreased, and Cl- content in sludge simultaneously decreased with the use of the PAF conditioner, thereby effectively reducing the corrosion risk to the incinerator and showing good compatibility with sludge separate incineration. In accordance with ferrous activation, sulfate radical plays an important role in sludge dewatering process because remarkable decrease in polysaccharides and protein contents from tightly bound extracellular polymeric substances (TB-EPS) was discovered. Based on flow cytometry analysis, slight cell lysis presented better filtrate quality by the use of PAF conditioner, 49.3% of refractory intracellular organics was removed and the respective ermB, tetW and blaTEM decreased by factors of 37.3%, 54.5% and 63.6% due to the strong oxidizing property of sulfate radical. The intensive decrease in refractory intracellular organics and cell-free ARGs will reduce the ecological risks. The total carbon emission significantly decreases to 1771.1 kgCO2/tDS when PAF conditioner was employed, which is beneficial to the upgradation of sludge deep dewatering conditioners.

Abstract
We assessed the impact of regenerative endodontic procedures (REP) using a platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) scaffold on necrotic immature permanent anterior and posterior teeth based on the following parameters: periapical healing, changes in root development, and associations between increases in the radiographic root area (RRA), and degree of root to apical closure. The study included 50 teeth consisting of 57 roots (36 anterior and 21 posterior) treated between 2017 and 2019, with an average follow-up of two years. Complete periapical healing was achieved in 91.2% teeth, and uncertain healing was achieved in 8.8%. RRA increased in 95% of teeth and root lengthening was achieved in 86% teeth (without any mutual effect). Apical closure was significantly associated with tooth location (89% and 30% of the posterior and anterior roots, respectively). Trauma was the most common aetiology of necrotic anterior teeth, whereas caries was the only aetiology of necrotic posterior teeth. REP using PRF scaffold achieved a high success rate for periapical healing and root maturation in both anterior and posterior necrotic immature teeth. The favourable results obtained in posterior teeth may encourage the use of REP for treating necrotic immature permanent posterior teeth.

Abstract
Objectives Regenerative endodontic treatment is a clinical procedure aimed at biologically regenerating damaged root canal tissue of immature permanent teeth. This study aimed to report the outcomes of regenerative endodontic treatment performed by endodontic postgraduate students. Materials and Methods Clinical and radiographic data of 27 patients, aged 10–22 years, who underwent regenerative treatment of immature permanent teeth from 2015 to 2019 were followed up, wherein clinical and radiographic examinations were performed for each patient. Postoperative success rate and tooth survival were analyzed, and the postoperative radiographic root area changes were quantified. Results A total of 23 patients attended the dental appointments, showing that all teeth survived and were asymptomatic. Specifically, 7 periapical pathosis cases were completely healed, 12 were incompletely healed, and 4 cases failed. Moreover, significant differences were found between discolored and non-discolored teeth, and between the presence or absence of periapical radiolucency. Additionally, 3 anterior teeth showed complete closure of the apical foramen, while the apical foramen width was reduced in 17 teeth and failed in 3 teeth. Root length was also found to have been increased in 7 anterior and 4 posterior teeth, and the average length ranged from 4.00–0.63 mm in the anterior teeth, 2.85–1.48 mm of the mesial root, and 2.73–2.16 mm of the molar teeth distal root. Furthermore, calcified tissue deposition was observed in 7 teeth. Conclusions A favorable outcome of regenerative endodontic treatment of immature permanent teeth with necrotic pulp was achieved with a high survival rate.

Abstract
Regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) may not be suitable in some necrotic young permanent molars due to coexistent roots with closed and open apices, and/or inadequate apical bleeding in one or more roots. Here, we present a combined treatment approach utilising conventional root canal treatment in the closed-apex roots and RET on the open-apex roots of necrotic young molars. The closed-apex roots of 8 molars received root fillings, and their open-apex roots were treated with a regenerative endodontic procedure. In another molar, the failed RET on one root was retreated by conventional root canal filling, preserving other revitalised roots. After 4-6 years, all teeth showed periapical healing in the absence of clinical symptoms. The combined conventional and regenerative treatment approach can yield favourable healing outcomes in necrotic, young molar roots with different levels of apical closure. Likewise, failed revitalised roots can be retreated separately with conventional root filling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies evaluated the efficacy of a collagen membrane (Bio-Gide) to promote root development in regenerative endodontics (REPs). However, the influence of etiology and tooth type on the results was not assessed. AIMS To evaluate the quantitative and qualitative effect of a collagen membrane (Bio-Gide), with and without the effect of etiology and tooth type, in promoting root development in immature teeth after REPs. DESIGN Eighty nonvital immature teeth were divided randomly into two groups (40 teeth in each group). REPs were performed with (experimental group) and without (control group) a collagen membrane. All teeth were subjected to regular clinical and radiographical follow-up. RESULTS Seventy-six teeth were included in the final analyses. The average follow-up periods were 33.1 ± 21.8 months for the control group and 28.1± 18.6 months for the experimental group. Quantitative analysis of root development in the experimental group showed a greater increase in dentin wall thickness in the middle one-third of the root compared to the control group, with or without the effect of etiology and tooth type. Six types of root development were observed. There was no significant difference in the type of tooth development between the two groups. CONCLUSION The use of a collagen membrane could promote an increase in dentin wall thickness in the middle one-third of the root, and it had no significant effect in terms of the type of subsequent root development.

Abstract
Aim and objective To compare the efficacy of triple antibiotic paste (TAP) and double antibiotic paste (DAP) for root canal disinfection during revascularization of immature pulpless teeth. Materials and methods A sample of 20 immature teeth in subjects aged 8–13 years was selected for a revascularization procedure. The teeth were randomly distributed in two groups corresponding to the medicament received—TAP group (n = 10) and DAP group (n = 10). Microbial samples were collected using dry paper points at the beginning of treatment and thereafter every 3 weeks till sterile reading was obtained. Microbial samples were then sent to the microbiological lab for identification. Results A variety of opportunistic microbes were detected in samples obtained before placement of medicaments with no significant difference between the two medicament groups. The efficacy of TAP to eliminate microbes was lower in comparison to DAP after 3 weeks of placement of medicaments, whereas it was found to be more efficacious in comparison to DAP after 6 weeks and no significant difference (p> 0.05) was observed between the two groups. Conclusion Immature permanent teeth with pulp necrosis can achieve complete root development with regenerative endodontic technique. The use of antibiotic pastes including TAP and DAP can help achieve a successful outcome with thorough decontamination of the root canal.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In young individuals, deciduous tooth pulp might be utilized as a natural, biologic scaffold for the regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) of young permanent teeth with necrotic pulps and apical periodontitis. The present case series demonstrates the clinical and radiographic outcomes of a novel RET utilizing deciduous pulp autotransplantation in traumatized, necrotic young permanent incisors. METHODS Five previously-traumatized maxillary incisors of four 8-11,5-year-old patients were treated with a RET protocol that used 2.5% NaOCl irrigation and placement of calcium hydroxide dressing in the first visit. After 4 weeks, the intracanal medication was removed, and the whole pulp tissue harvested from the neighboring maxillary deciduous canine was transplanted into the disinfected root canal without induced apical bleeding. Following placement of an MTA coronal barrier, the access cavities were restored with acid-etch resin composite. The root canals of donor primary canines were filled with calcium hydroxide-iodoform paste and were restored as with the permanent incisors. RESULTS Three patients were followed-up for 24 months, and one patient for 12 months. All teeth demonstrated radiographic evidence of complete periapical healing, slight increase in dentinal wall thickness, and continued apical closure in the absence of clinical symptoms. A positive response to cold test was obtained in one incisor at 12 months and two at 24 months. CONCLUSIONS Based on 12- and 24-month clinical and radiographic findings, the present cases demonstrate a favorable outcome of a regenerative endodontic treatment protocol utilizing deciduous pulp autotransplantation in young permanent incisors with pulp necrosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness of apexification versus revascularization in the treatment of necrotic immature teeth and determine which strategy affords the greatest radiological success rate. METHODS An analysis was made of 18 teeth subjected to mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) apical plugging and regenerative endodontic treatment, assessing healing of the apical lesions and the changes in root dimensions. RESULTS Significantly greater root growth was observed with revascularization in terms of the percentage change in length (12.75% at 6 months) and dentin thickness (34.57% at 6 months) (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences between the two treatments in terms of the apical healing scores after 6 months of follow-up (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Apexification with an MTA apical plug and pulp regeneration are reliable treatments for non-vital immature teeth. The radiographic outcomes are comparable between the immature teeth subjected to MTA apexification versus those subjected to revascularization. The results of the present study indicate a greater increase in root length and width with regenerative endodontic treatment.

Abstract
PORPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate, through a meta-analysis, the predictability of Regenerative Endodontic therapies with antibiotic pastes and calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2], related to four variables as follows: root dentin wall thickening, apical closure, apical repair and root lengthening. METHODS Literature electronic searches were performed in Pubmed - MEDLINE, Scopus and Lilacs-BVS platforms using appropriate search terms, Mesh (Medical Subject Headings), DeCS (Health Sciences Descriptors) and Boolean operators comprising articles published between 2009 and 2020. Thirty-two original indexed papers were included making a total of 758 regenerative endodontic procedures. A descriptive meta-analysis was performed. RESULTS Dentin wall thickening was present in 66% (CI95: 58%-73%) of the cases treated with antibiotic paste, while when Ca(OH)2 was used, a percentage of 53% (CI95: 26%-78%), was obtained. When antibiotic paste was used, apical closure was found in the 66% (CI95: 58%-73%) of the regenerative endodontic procedures, while when Ca(OH)2 was used, 88% (CI95: 80%-93%) of the cases were found to reach apical closure. Root lengthening and apical repair were found satisfactory for both disinfection protocols. CONCLUSIONS There could be differences between the two treatments since a higher percentage of root dentin wall thickening was found when using antibiotic pastes, while a higher percentage of apical closure was found when calcium hydroxide was used. Development of more clinical studies would be necessary in order to confirm the observed differences. The proposed approach could provide a useful contribution for endodontists when planning regenerative endodontic procedures, so as to guide decision-making to the best elective treatment and to select the appropriate disinfection method in accordance with preoperative radiographic diagnosis of root development stage, then increasing the predictability of regenerative endodontic treatment and reducing potential risk of root fractures.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin Used in Regenerative Endodontics and Dentistry: Current Uses, Limitations, and Future Recommendations for Application. Int J Dent 2021; 2021:4514598.

Abstract
Regenerative endodontics has introduced numerous procedures such as pulp implantation, revascularization, and postnatal stem cell therapy. Revascularization has been successfully implemented clinically nowadays, thus providing dentists with outrageous results. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) used either alone or along with bone graft promotes bone growth and vascularization. This matrix promotes migration, cell attachment, and proliferation of osteoblast that leads to bone formation. PRF consists of a packed fibrin complex consisting of leukocytes, cytokines, and glycoproteins such as thrombospondin. The usage of PRF has reported high success rates in surgical cases such as sinus lift procedures, healing of extraction sockets, and management of periapical abscesses. Compared to platelet-rich plasma, PRF is more economical, easy to prepare, and feasible to use in daily clinical practices. Revascularization compromised the induction of a blood clot into the root canal space, which emerged as a clinical triumph. This further led to platelet concentrates as an autologous scaffold on which revascularization could occur. The applications of PRF in regenerative endodontics are numerous, such as an agent for repairing iatrogenic perforation of the pulpal floor and for the revascularization of immature permanent teeth with necrotic pulps. It acts as a matrix for tissue ingrowth. Evidence of progressive thickening of dentinal walls, root lengthening, regression in the periapical lesion, and apical closure was reported. Further studies are needed to clarify the precise mechanism of action of PRF for dental pulp regeneration both in vitro and in vivo. The current review aims at the present uses of PRF in regenerative endodontics dentistry and its application with future recommendations and limitations.

Abstract
For the management of necrotic immature teeth, regenerative endodontics offers the advantage of further root lengthening, thickening of dentin wall, and apical closure. This prospective study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcome of regenerative endodontics in immature necrotic permanent teeth. A total of 23 immature roots were medicated by triple antibiotic paste. After 21 days, bleeding was induced by over-instrumentation, and then mineral trioxide aggregate and coronal restoration were applied. Patients were scheduled for clinical and radiographic follow-up for 8 years. The radiographic changes of root dimensions were assessed using the ImageJ Plugin and statistically analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test at a 95% confidence level. For qualitative evaluation, images were overlapped and analyzed using Photoshop software. All teeth were asymptomatic one month after the treatment. All teeth (n = 18) with preoperative periapical radiolucency showed complete resolution within 6-9 months. Recall rate at two, three, and eight years was 69.6%, 56.5%, and 34.8%, respectively. Continuous root development with a significant increase in root length and thickening of dentin wall accompanied by a significant decrease in apical canal diameter was seen at the end of the observation period (p < 0.001). In conclusion, the long-term outcome of regenerative endodontics revealed successful clinical and radiographic results with appropriate case selection.

Abstract
Regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) is a valuable treatment for necrotic immature teeth with many advantages such as increasing root length and thickness of root wall. The success of RETs is based on healthy stem cells, suitable scaffolds, and growth factors and takes place when bacterial contamination is well controlled. The aim of this article is to address controversy in a case with multiple success criteria. This paper reports a 9-year-old boy with a complicated crown fracture of the maxillary left central incisor about three years prior to referral with a diagnosis of intrusive luxation with spontaneous reeruption. The tooth had an underdeveloped root and a well-defined periapical radiolucent lesion around the root apex. RET was considered according to the stage of root development. Upon the three-week recall session, the clinical examination indicated that the patient was asymptomatic in the affected site. However, the patient returned two weeks later with a sinus tract pertaining to the apex of tooth #9. Therefore, debridement of the root canal space was repeated and the RET redone. On the second trial, the patient was symptom-free, but no more evidence of root maturation was observed on 18-month follow-up. The tooth was asymptomatic (without swelling, drainage, and pain) during this time, and esthetics was provided for the patient.

Abstract
Background and Aims This study aimed to assess the outcomes of partial pulpotomy treatments using different biocompatible materials which were Biodentine®, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), and calcium hydroxide (CH) in cariously exposed pulp tissue in immature permanent molars. Materials and Methods Fifty-four teeth of 50 patients, which had cariously pulp exposures were randomly divided into Biodentine®, MTA, and CH groups for partial pulpotomy treatments and finally restored with stainless steel crowns at the same appointment. Clinical and radiographical success was evaluated by the absence of any clinical and radiographical signs and symptoms for 12 months. Also, Image J was used for the quantitative assessment of length developments for mesial and distal roots. P value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Partial pulpotomy treatments showed high overall success rate (87%). On the other hand, Biodentine and MTA showed higher success rates compared to CH without any statistical significance (P = 0.09). Besides, mesial and distal root lengths displayed a continuous and significant increase in each group at sixth month follow-up (P = 0.01; P = 0.03). Conclusions Favorable results demonstrated that Biodentine, MTA, and CH might be recommended as suitable agents for partial pulpotomy treatment in cariously exposed immature molars with clinical diagnosis of normal pulp or reversible pulpitis.

Abstract
Background Crown discoloration is an undesirable side effect of the use of triple antibiotic paste (TAP) in regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs). The aim of this ex vivo study was to assess the potential for tooth discoloration and induction of fluorescence associated with the use of TAP containing either doxycycline (DOX) or clindamycin (CLIN), and of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2), by spectrophotometric analysis and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM).
Material and Methods A total of forty single-rooted human teeth extracted by therapeutic indication were used. The root canals were enlarged using the step-back technique up to a K #80 file and were randomly divided into four experimental groups (10 specimens each): i)Ca(OH)2 group, ii)TAP with DOX group, iii) TAP with CLIN group, iv) Control group (no treatment). To quantify the change of color of the different groups of teeth included, the Vita Easyshade advance 4.0 spectrophotometer was used. CLSM was used to determine fluorescence.
Results After 28 days of action inside the root canal, no extreme discoloration was visible, to the naked eye, in any of the teeth included in the study. Under the conditions of this ex vivo study, TAP with DOX induced the highest crown discoloration among the medicaments tested. In contrast, Ca(OH)2 and TAP with CLIN did not induce crown discoloration after 28 days. The TAP with DOX group presented the highest fluorescence measurements.
Conclusions Considering the discoloration potential and fluorescence changes in TAP with DOX or other tetracyclines, and the cytotoxic effect of TAPs, we recommend the use of Ca(OH)2 for REPs. Key words:Discoloration, doxycycline, clinadamycin, calcium hydroxide, endodontics.

Abstract
This meta-analysis is intended to evaluate the reliability of evidences published in current regenerative endodontic publications in a critical way. This meta-analysis is used to summarize and analyze the various clinical and radiographic findings associated with nonvital immature permanent teeth which have been treated with regenerative endodontic techniques. We also intend to significantly evaluate the worth of facts provided in the previous published literature. A structured electronic search by authors was undertaken in August 2020 using MEDLINE and PubMed search engine. The chosen parameters studied in this systematic review were presented in flowcharts and were summarized. We observed a good accomplishment rates in terms of survival of the treated tooth and also in resolution of any associated pathology in the apical areas; on contrary, our results in relation to apex closure along with constant root development, our findings from various studies were quiet variable. Regenerative endodontic procedures are constantly being restructured and enhanced to benefit present-day dentistry in all likely ways. Still, many factors that are important for the success of regenerative endodontic treatment outcomes still remain unexplained. There are still numerous gaps in our expertise at the present stage of this study.

Abstract
Dental caries is an extremely common problem in dentistry that affects a significant part of the population. Approximal caries are especially difficult to identify because their position makes clinical analysis difficult. Radiographic evaluation-more specifically, bitewing images-are mostly used in such cases. However, incorrect interpretations may interfere with the diagnostic process. To aid dentists in caries evaluation, computational methods and tools can be used. In this work, we propose a new method that combines image processing techniques and convolutional neural networks to identify approximal dental caries in bitewing radiographic images and classify them according to lesion severity. For this study, we acquired 112 bitewing radiographs. From these exams, we extracted individual tooth images from each exam, applied a data augmentation process, and used the resulting images to train CNN classification models. The tooth images were previously labeled by experts to denote the defined classes. We evaluated classification models based on the Inception and ResNet architectures using three different learning rates: 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001. The training process included 2000 iterations, and the best results were achieved by the Inception model with a 0.001 learning rate, whose accuracy on the test set was 73.3%. The results can be considered promising and suggest that the proposed method could be used to assist dentists in the evaluation of bitewing images, and the definition of lesion severity and appropriate treatments.

Prospective cohort study of regenerative potential of non vital immature permanent maxillary central incisors using platelet rich fibrin scaffold. Sci Rep 2021; 11:13679. [PMID: 34211068 PMCID: PMC8249665 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-93236-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2021] [Accepted: 06/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Regenerative endodontic procedures have gained momentum as a treatment modality of young immature permanent teeth. Literature reports reveal that platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) stimulates growth factors and induces regeneration. This study was undertaken to assess the regenerative potential of non-vital immature permanent maxillary central incisors using PRF with a follow-up for 2 yrs. 19 patients in the age group of 9–25 yrs with immature, non-vital permanent maxillary central incisors (n = 23) with/without signs and/or symptoms of periapical pathosis and open apex were included in this study. In the first appointment, access opening, canal disinfection and triple antibiotic paste placement were done. In the subsequent visit, PRF was prepared and placed inside the canal. Access was sealed with Mineral trioxide aggregate plug and composite. The patient was reviewed up to 24 mths. The mean difference was statistically analyzed using Friedman test followed by Dunn post hoc test and adjusted by Bonferroni correction (p < 0.05). As per AAE guidelines, the primary and secondary goals were achieved. A significant (p < 0.001) gradual increase in the root length, thickness of dentinal walls and decrease in apical diameter were observed. Within the limitations of this study, PRF placement was clinically and radiographically effective in inducing regeneration of non-vital immature permanent teeth.

Abstract
(1) Background: The regenerative procedure has established a new approach to root canal therapy, to preserve the vital pulp of the tooth. This present review aimed to describe and sum up the different approaches to regenerative endodontic treatment conducted in the last 10 years; (2) Methods: A literature search was performed in the PubMed and Cochrane Library electronic databases, supplemented by a manual search. The search strategy included the following terms: “regenerative endodontic protocol”, “regenerative endodontic treatment”, and “regenerative endodontics” combined with “pulp revascularization”. Only studies on humans, published in the last 10 years and written in English were included; (3) Results: Three hundred and eighty-six potentially significant articles were identified. After exclusion of duplicates, and meticulous analysis, 36 case reports were selected; (4) Conclusions: The pulp revascularization procedure may bring a favorable outcome, however, the prognosis of regenerative endodontics (RET) is unpredictable. Permanent immature teeth showed greater potential for positive outcomes after the regenerative procedure. Further controlled clinical studies are required to fully understand the process of the dentin–pulp complex regeneration, and the predictability of the procedure.

Abstract
AIMS This systematic review aims to identify and synthesise available evidence to determine the clinical and radiographic outcomes of REP involving any disinfection irrigant together with a non-antibiotic intracanal medicament. METHODS Experimental and observational studies evaluating the outcomes of REP in immature non-vital permanent teeth in 6-16 year olds, where the protocol used any type of disinfectant irrigant together with a non-antibiotic intracanal medicament (non-setting calcium hydroxide) were included. Data was narratively synthesised and presented in respect to the primary outcome (elimination of symptoms and infection) and secondary outcomes (increase in root length/width; positive response to vitality testing; patient-reported outcomes; adverse effects). MAIN FINDINGS 1628 studies were identified, of which five met the eligibility criteria for inclusion in the review. Studies included one randomised control trial and four observational studies. All five studies showed an absence of clinical signs and symptoms for all teeth postoperatively with radiographic resolution or absence of pathology following the disinfection stages of the REP used. Choice of secondary outcomes were inconsistent but included further root development, coronal discolouration and root canal calcifications postoperatively. There was a high risk of bias in all five studies and subsequently the quality of the evidence base was judged to be low. PRINCIPLE CONCLUSIONS REP using a non-antibiotic disinfectant approach appears capable of providing satisfactory outcomes for a non-vital immature permanent tooth. Further high-quality research is required before solid recommendations towards clinical practice guidelines for the disinfection portion of REP can be implemented.

Abstract
The reconstruction or repair of oral and maxillofacial functionalities and aesthetics is a priority for patients affected by tooth loss, congenital defects, trauma deformities, or various dental diseases. Therefore, in dental medicine, tissue reconstruction represents a major interest in oral and maxillofacial surgery, periodontics, orthodontics, endodontics, and even daily clinical practice. The current clinical approaches involve a vast array of techniques ranging from the traditional use of tissue grafts to the most innovative regenerative procedures, such as tissue engineering. In recent decades, a wide range of both artificial and natural biomaterials and scaffolds, genes, stem cells isolated from the mouth area (dental follicle, deciduous teeth, periodontal ligament, dental pulp, salivary glands, and adipose tissue), and various growth factors have been tested in tissue engineering approaches in dentistry, with many being proven successful. However, to fully eliminate the problems of traditional bone and tissue reconstruction in dentistry, continuous research is needed. Based on a recent literature review, this paper creates a picture of current innovative strategies applying dental stem cells for tissue regeneration in different dental fields and maxillofacial surgery, and offers detailed information regarding the available scientific data and practical applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pulp revascularization is an effective treatment for immature necrotic teeth. Calcium hydroxide has been used in pulp revascularization as an intracanal medication due to its antimicrobial action and the non-exhibition of crown discoloration and cytotoxicity for stem cells from the apical papilla. Our study aimed to investigate the clinical success and quantitative radiographic changes of root development in immature traumatized teeth using calcium hydroxide plus 2% chlorhexidine gel as intracanal medication. METHODOLOGY In this retrospective study, 16 patients were treated with a standardized pulp revascularization protocol. Calcium hydroxide and 2% chlorhexidine gel were manipulated in a 1:1 (v/v) ratio and inserted into root canals with Lentulo spirals (Dentsply Maillefer, Baillaigues, Switzerland). Patients were followed up for a period from 9 to 36 months for the evaluation of clinical and radiological data. Radiographic measurements of root length, root width, apical diameter, and MTA placement from the apex were quantified using software ImageJ. Wilcoxon test and t-test were used, according to nonparametric or parametric data, respectively, for changes over time in root length, root width, and apical diameter. RESULTS Fifteen teeth survived during the follow-up period (93.75%) and met the criteria for clinical success. Although the changes seem to be very small in many cases, significant increases in the average root length (14.28%, p<0.0001), root width (8.12%, p=0.0196), and decrease in apical diameter (48.37%, p=0.0007) were observed. MTA placement from the apex and age at the time of treatment was not significantly associated with the quantitative radiographic outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Pulp revascularization in traumatized immature teeth treated with calcium hydroxide plus 2% chlorhexidine gel as intracanal medication had high success and survival rates, showing periodontal healing and resolution of signs and symptoms. However, concerning the continued root development, the outcomes can still be considered unpredictable.

Abstract
AIM To present the application and the outcome of the regenerative endodontic therapy (RET) in a series of symptomatic immature mandibular molars with pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis and to review the relevant literature for the documentation of the procedure as a potential treatment option. METHODS Three young male patients were referred with pain in the left mandibular region resulting from pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis of the first permanent molar. Regenerative endodontic approach was performed for the complete resolution of the lesions and the thickening of the apical root canal walls. The databases of Medline, Pubmed and Google Scholar were also searched for articles in which a regenerative approach has been undertaken for the endodontic management of immature permanent molars with pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis. RESULTS Follow-up examinations showed that the teeth remained functional without any signs or symptoms. Final radiographic examination at 12, 18 and 36 months, respectively, revealed complete resolution of the lesions and complete apical closure in the two out of three cases. The search of the literature revealed the existence of only 25 clinical articles in which necrotic immature molars were treated by the regenerative approach. The total number of the treated teeth were 46. CONCLUSIONS Regenerative endodontic approach may be applied in posterior non-vital molar teeth with a possible favorable outcome. However, the literature support for the documentation of the procedure as a predictable and reproducible treatment option in posterior immature molar teeth is at present limited.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Clinical and radiographic evaluation of the regeneration of bilateral necrotic upper permanent central incisors with open apex using blood clot (BC) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) scaffolds. TRIAL DESIGN Split-mouth double-blind parallel arm randomized controlled clinical trial. MATERIALS AND METHODS Randomization and blinding: The study started with 15 patients with bilateral necrotic upper permanent central incisors with open apex. Computer-generated tables were used to allocate treatments. The two maxillary central incisors were randomly assigned to either the control (BC scaffold) or the examined (PRF scaffold) groups. Participants: Thirteen patients aged 8-14 years fulfilled the study requirements. Follow-up was performed for 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Standardized radiographs were collected each 3 months, and difference in measurements was calculated using Image J software. Primary outcomes measured were sinus/fistula formation, pain complaint, mobility grade, and swelling presence/absence. Radiographic: Root length elongation and increase in root thickness. Secondary outcomes were sensibility test and crown color change. Radiographic: Change in bone density and apical diameter. Radiographs that were standardized used during the follow-up time, and occurred changes were calculated using Image J software. RESULTS One patient was lost during follow-up; therefore, 24 treated teeth were analyzed, they showed 100% success rate. Platelet-rich fibrin teeth displayed a statistically significant growth in radiographic root length and width, increased periapical bone density, and a reduction in apical diameter when compared with BC. At the end of the follow-up period, all treated teeth were negative to sensibility test. Blood clot displayed greater crown discoloration in comparison to PRF group. CONCLUSION For teeth with open apex and necrotic pulp, revascularization using PRF is an appropriate substitute to BC. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE Rizk HM, Salah AL-Deen MS, Emam AA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The research aims to assess the regenerative potential of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) versus Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) scaffolds in immature permanent maxillary central incisors with necrotic pulps, clinically and radiographically. TRIAL DESIGN Double blinded parallel randomized controlled trial was implemented to identify the results. SUBJECT & METHODS The proposed study was conducted among 30 patients with maxillary necrotic permanent immature central incisors but only 26 patients fulfilled the study requirements. Group I was treated with PRP and Group II with PRF scaffolds. Follow up has been done every 3 months for one year. Primary outcomes were measured clinically: Pain, Mobility, Swelling, and Sinus/fistula. Radiographically: increase root length and width. Secondary outcomes were clinically: Discoloration and Sensibility test. Radiographically: increase in bone density measurements and decrease in apical diameter. Standardized radiographs were collected during the follow up period, and radiographic changes were measured by using Image J software. Statistical analysis was performed on 25 patients who had completed the study. RESULTS All 25 patients' teeth were survived during the 12-month follow-up period. PRP showed marginal increase in radiographic root length and width, periapical bone density and a decrease in apical diameter. No statistical significant differences were observed when it was compared with PRF. The teeth which were treated did not respond to sensibility test at the end of the study. PRF displayed statistical significant higher amount of crown discoloration when compared to PRP group. CONCLUSIONS For necrotic immature teeth, revascularization using PRP is an appropriate alternative to PRF and showed excellent 12-months prognosis.

Abstract
Treatment of necrotic immature teeth has always been a real challenge for the clinician due to the open apex and weak root structure, which does not allow a conventional endodontic treatment. Several therapeutic options are possible to treat those teeth. Calcium hydroxide apexification is the oldest and most studied therapeutic option, but it has some disadvantages, including the long term of treatment, the possibility of reinfection, and the weakness of the wall. To solve these problems, several authors recommend the revascularization technique. This therapy allows the continuation of root edification with apical closure and thickening of the walls. The aim of our work is to compare the two therapeutic procedures, apexification with calcium hydroxide and revascularization, through a clinical case treated and followed up for 24 months at the pediatric dentistry department in Casablanca, Morocco.

Abstract
The regenerative endodontic procedure (REP) is considered a viable treatment option for immature teeth with necrotic pulp and periapical radiolucency which can facilitate continued root formation. In this report, an immature necrotic mandibular molar received REP in three appointments wherein chemomechanical debridement was performed with a sequential application of nonsetting calcium hydroxide (in the whole canal) and triple antibiotics paste (in the root's middle third) dressings in the first and second appointments, respectively. In the third appointment, blood clots were created in the root canals. MTA was placed over the blood clots and the tooth was restored with a composite filling and stainless-steel crown. Recall appointments were performed for two years where the tooth was deemed asymptomatic clinically and a complete root formation with significant periapical healing was evident radiographically. More cases are required to warrant the feasibility of this disinfection protocol.

Abstract
Background/purpose Triple antibiotic paste (TAP) has been successfully used in revascularization procedure. However, one of the problems associated with TAP use is teeth discoloration, which is attributed to the presence of minocycline constituent. The aim of this study is to investigate the discoloration effect of different concentrations of triple (TAP) and double (DAP) antibiotics pastes on root dentine. Materials and methods Sterilized dentine specimens (4 × 4 × 1) were prepared, and randomly assigned to 5 groups; 1000 mg/mL of Triple antibiotic paste (TAP), 1000 mg/mL of Double antibiotic paste (DAP), 1 mg/mL of TAP in Methylcellulose gel (MTAP), 1 mg/mL of DAP in Methylcellulose gel (MDAP), and distilled water control groups (n = 12). The assigned treatment was applied for 14 days. The CIE L*a*b calorimetric parameters were measured for all dentine specimens using a Chroma meter. One-way ANOVA and multiple comparisons were used for statistical analyses (p < 0.05). ΔE for the different treatments as compared to distilled water group was calculated. Results TAP and MTAP groups significantly affects the L* values of the root dentine (p < 0.05). ΔE change was noticeable between TAP and MTAP compared to the distilled water group. Conclusion The incorporation of minocycline in TAP medicaments, even in low concentrations, can still provoke a noticeable tooth discoloration.

Wang S, Ma C, Zhu Y, Yang Y, Du G, Li J. Deep dewatering process of sludge by chemical conditioning and its potential influence on wastewater treatment plants. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2019; 26:33838-33846. [PMID: 29905896 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-018-2351-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2018] [Accepted: 05/16/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
FeCl3, quick lime, and cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM) were used for excess sludge conditioning from wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and the dewatering performance by different chemical conditioners was investigated. Experimental results showed that FeCl3 could make small and concentrated sludge particles. Furthermore, new mineral phase structures for building a dewatering framework were obtained by the addition of quick lime, and the coagulation capacity was enhanced by the formation of colloid hydroxyl polymer, which was induced due to the alkaline environment. In addition, the floc particle size significantly increased after the CPAM dosage. The bound water could be released with the stripping of tightly bound extracellular polymeric substance (EPS). Therefore, the dewatering performance and efficiencies were improved and subsequently the hypothetical sludge deep dewatering process was depicted in accordance with the variation of EPS. However, high-strength refractory organics in sludge filtrates caused by quick lime pyrolysis could lead to the unstable operation of the WWTP, because the relatively high concentrations of organic compounds with benzene were dominant in sludge dewatering filtrates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the viability of stem cells from exfoliated and deciduous teeth (SHED) on dentin surface treated with triple antibiotic paste or calcium hydroxide. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nine single-rooted extracted premolars were prepared appropriately and divided into three groups. In group A, the root canals were left empty, a triple antibiotic paste was placed in the root canals of group B, and calcium hydroxide was placed in the root canals of group C. After 1 week, the intracanal medicaments were removed, and stem cells were seeded on the treated surface of the specimens for 1 more week. The cells were stained and then observed under confocal microscope over the entire surface of each test material. Counting of the cells was made by Image J (3D) software, as well as manually. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS To investigate any statistically significant differences between the experimental groups, statistical tests including Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U-test were performed. Significance level was set to P < 0.05, and all analyses were performed with SPSS IBM program, v. 21. RESULTS Groups B and C showed statistically significantly higher number of cells compared to Group A, whereas cells developed in a substrate of calcium hydroxide residues appeared in majority with distinct cores and widened unlike other groups. CONCLUSIONS The effect of calcium hydroxide manifested better results regarding the number of stems cells on root canal surfaces.

Abstract
Objectives To investigate the potential for pulpal regeneration via autologous transplantation of deciduous tooth pulp into immature necrotic permanent teeth using an experimental dog model. Methods Experimental apical periodontitis was induced in 60 teeth of six Beagle dogs. Following canal disinfection and pulpotomy, autologous deciduous pulp tissue was transplanted into the root canals (n = 30); as controls, contralateral teeth were treated in accordance with the recommendations of the American Association of Endodontists. Radiographic examinations were performed immediately before transplant, as well as 3 and 6 months after transplant. At the 6-month examination, root samples were collected and histological and immunohistochemical analyses were used to examine tissue regeneration. Results Radiographic analysis showed no significant differences in most histopathological parameters examined; however, apical diameter reduction was greater in the experimental group. Histological and immunohistochemical analyses showed that the canal walls of the experimental group had newly formed dentin-like tissue with dentinal tubules, while the control group had cementum-like deposits along the canal wall and apical foramina. Conclusions Autologous transplantation may be useful for regeneration of dental pulp in necrotic young permanent teeth.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of platelet rich fibrin (PRF) during revitalization of necrotic immature permanent anterior teeth after 6 months and 1 year follow up period. The following treatment protocols; Group A: revitalization using blood clot scaffold only, and Group B: revitalization using blood clot and PRF. STUDY DESIGN twenty-two patients (7-12 years old) suffering from immature necrotic permanent maxillary central incisors were randomly selected and randomly allocated into 2 groups. Clinical examinations were performed to detect any pain or swelling during the follow up period. Standardized radiographs were digitally evaluated for changes in root length, periapical radiolucency size, presence of apical or cervical calcific bridges. RESULTS After a follow-up period of 12 months, most of the cases showed radiographic evidence of periapical healing and showed calcific bridges either cervical and/or apical. No significant differences were shown between both groups. CONCLUSIONS The revitalization procedures succeeded to show continued development of roots in teeth with necrotic pulps. The use of PRF was not essential for repair but it helped during the procedures.

Abstract
AIM Clinical and radiographic assessment of the regenerative potential of bilateral immature permanent maxillary central incisors with necrotic pulps using blood clot (BC) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) scaffolds. TRIAL DESIGN This is a split mouth double-blinded parallel randomized controlled clinical trial. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Randomization and blinding: the study started with 15 patients with bilateral maxillary immature permanent central incisors with necrotic pulp. The two upper bilateral central incisors were randomly assigned to either the control (BC scaffold) group I or examined (PRP scaffold) group II. Participant: 13 patients aged 8-14 years fulfilled the study requirements. A follow-up was done for 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. Standardized radiographs were collected during the follow-up period, and radiographic changes were measured using Image J software. Primary outcome measured were clinical: pain, mobility, swelling, and sinus/fistula. Radiographic outcome included increased root length and increase in root thickness. Secondary outcomes were clinical: discoloration and sensibility test. Radiographic outcome included an increase in bone density measurements and a decrease in apical diameter. Standardized radiographs were collected during the follow-up period, and radiographic changes were measured using Image J software. RESULTS All 26 treated teeth survived during the 12-month follow-up period with 100% success rate. PRP-treated teeth showed a statistically significant increase in radiographic root length, width, periapical bone density, and a decrease in apical diameter when compared with BC. At the end of 12 months, all treated teeth did not respond to the sensibility test. BC displayed a significantly higher amount of crown discoloration compared to the PRP group. CONCLUSION For necrotic immature teeth, regenerative endodontic treatment using PRP is a desirable alternative to BC and shows excellent 12-months prognosis.

Abstract
Objectives The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of calcium hydroxide with 2% chlorhexidine gel (HCX) or distilled water (HCA) compared to triple antibiotic paste (TAP) on push-out bond strength and the cement/dentin interface in canals sealed with White MTA Angelus (WMTA) or Biodentine (BD). Materials and Methods A total of 70 extracted human lower premolars were endodontically prepared and randomly divided into 4 groups according to the intracanal medication, as follows: group 1, HCX; group 2, TAP; group 3, HCA; and group 4, control (without intracanal medication). After 7 days, the medications were removed and the cervical third of the specimens was sectioned into five 1-mm sections. The sections were then sealed with WMTA or BD as a reparative material. After 7 days in 100% humidity, a push-out bond strength test was performed. Elemental analysis was performed at the interface, using energy-dispersive spectroscopy. The data were statistically analyzed using analysis of variance and the Tukey test (p < 0.05). Results BD presented a higher bond strength than WMTA (p < 0.05). BD or WMTA in canals treated with calcium hydroxide intracanal medications had the highest bond strength values, with a statistically significant difference compared to TAP in the WMTA group (p < 0.05). There were small amounts of phosphorus in samples exposed to triple antibiotic paste, regardless of the coronal sealing. Conclusions The use of intracanal medications did not affect the bond strength of WMTA and BD, except when TAP was used with WMTA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) using autologous platelet concentrates as scaffolds can improve the biologic outcome of treatment. This prospective, randomized trial compared the clinical and radiographic performance of REPs using platelet-rich plasma (PRP), platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), a platelet pellet (PP), and an induced blot clot (BC). METHODS Sixty-seven healthy children (aged 8-11 years) with 88 immature necrotic incisors were included. After the root canal disinfection step, the teeth were randomly assigned into 1 of the following groups (n = 22/group) according to the scaffold used: PRP, PRF, PP, and BC. In the PRP, PRF, and PP groups, the platelet concentrates were introduced into the root canal without prior induction of apical bleeding. Treatment outcomes were assessed using a combined clinical and radiographic scoring system, whereas the changes in root dimensions were compared using linear measurements of root length and width with ImageJ (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD) and Turboreg (Biomedical Imaging Group, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne, Switzerland) and planar measurements using the radiographic root area (RRA) and radiographic canal area (RCA) techniques. One-way analysis of variance, the Duncan multiple range test, the Kruskal-Wallis test, the Mann-Whitney U test, and chi-square dependency tests were used for statistical analysis of data (all P = .05). RESULTS Except for 2 teeth in the PRF and BC groups, all teeth showed similar and high success scores (periapical healing, radiographic root development, and positive response to sensitivity tests) after an average follow-up time of 28.25 ± 1.2 months. Of all teeth, 73.9% showed complete apical closure with similar closure rates among groups (P > .05) and a greater tendency for conical-shaped apical closure than a blunt apex. Although linear measurements indicated a similar increase in root length and width among all groups (P > .05), the RRA of the BC group was significantly greater than those of the PRF and PP groups, and the RCA of the BC group was significantly greater than PRP, PRF, and PP (all P < .05) when the follow-up time was not used as a factor. Eighty-six percent of the teeth showed a positive response to sensitivity tests with similar initial response times (P > .05). CONCLUSIONS PRP, PRF, and PP can yield similar clinical and radiographic outcomes to BC without the need for prior apical bleeding and with significantly less tendency for root canal obliteration. RRA and RCA may reveal minor differences that cannot be determined by linear measurements.

Abstract
Calcium hydroxide apexification and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) apexification are classical treatments for necrotic immature permanent teeth. The first tend to fail for lack of compliance given the high number of sessions needed; the second has technical difficulties such as material manipulation and overfilling. With both techniques, the root development is interrupted leaving the tooth with a fragile root structure, a poor crown-to-root ratio, periodontal breakdown, and high risk of fracture, compromising long-term prognosis of the tooth. New scientific literature has described a procedure that allows complete root development of these specific teeth. This regenerative endodontic procedure (REP) proposes the use of a combination of antimicrobials and irrigants, no canal walls instrumentation, induced apical bleeding to form a blood clot and a tight seal into the root canal to promote healing. MTA is the most used material to perform this seal, but updated guidelines advise the use of other bioactive endodontic cements that incorporate calcium and silicate in their compositions. They share most of their characteristics with MTA but claim to have fewer drawbacks with regards to manipulation and aesthetics. The purpose of the present article is to review pertinent literature and to describe the clinical procedures protocol with its variations, and their clinical application.

Abstract
Abstract The aim of presented systematic scoping review was to investigate the actual and future clinical possibilities of regenerative therapies and their ability to regenerate bone, periodontal and pulp with histological confirmation of the nature of formed tissue. Electronic search was conducted using a combination between Keywords and MeSH terms in PubMed, Scopus, ISI-Web of Science and Cochrane library databases up to January 2016. Two reviewers conducted independently the papers judgment. Screened studies were read following the predetermined inclusion criteria. The included studies were evaluated in accordance with Arksey and O’Malley’s modified framework. From 1349 papers, 168 completed inclusion criteria. Several characterized and uncharacterized cells used in Cell Therapy have provided bone regeneration, demonstrating bone gain in quantity and quality, even as accelerators for bone and periodontal regeneration. Synthetic and natural scaffolds presented good cell maintenance, however polyglycolid-polylactid presented faster resorption and consequently poor bone gain. The Growth Factor-Mediated Therapy was able to regenerate bone and all features of a periodontal tissue in bone defects. Teeth submitted to Revascularization presented an increase of length and width of root canal. However, formed tissues not seem able to deposit dentin, characterizing a repaired tissue. Both PRP and PRF presented benefits when applied in regenerative therapies as natural scaffolds. Therefore, most studies that applied regenerative therapies have provided promising results being possible to regenerate bone and periodontal tissue with histological confirmation. However, pulp regeneration was not reported. These results should be interpreted with caution due to the short follow-up periods.

Abstract
Regenerative endodontic procedures for immature permanent teeth with apical periodontitis confer biological advantages such as tooth homeostasis, enhanced immune defense system, and a functional pulp-dentin complex, in addition to clinical advantages such as the facilitation of root development. Currently, this procedure is recognized as a paradigm shift from restoration using materials to regenerate pulp-dentin tissues. Many studies have been conducted with regard to stem/progenitor cells, scaffolds, and biomolecules, associated with pulp tissue engineering. However, preclinical and clinical studies have evidently revealed several drawbacks in the current clinical approach to revascularization that may lead to unfavorable outcomes. Therefore, our review examines the challenges encountered under clinical conditions and summarizes current research findings in an attempt to provide direction for transition from basic research to clinical practice.

Management of an Immature Necrotic Permanent Molar with Apical Periodontitis Treated by Regenerative Endodontic Protocol Using Calcium Hydroxide and MM-MTA: A Case Report with Two Years Follow Up. Dent J (Basel) 2019; 7:dj7010001.

Abstract
Traditionally, immature teeth diagnosed with necrotic pulp and periapical periodontitis were treated by apexification with long-term calcium hydroxide or in one session with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) or Biodentine apical plug. However, these teeth become fragile and susceptible to root fracture. Regenerative endodontic procedure is a new therapeutic approach that promotes continuation of root growth in immature necrotic teeth potentially preventing root fracture. Only few case reports have shown the success of this procedure on molar cases. The current case report demonstrates a regeneration of a lower first molar with necrotic pulp and chronic apical abscess treated with Micro Mega-MTA (MM-MTA), a new endodontic biomaterial that has not been described previously. Calcium hydroxide was used as an intracanal medicament for two weeks. Next, calcium hydroxide was removed and after blood clot creation, MM-MTA® was placed over it. Apical healing and continuation of root growth were evident at nine months follow-up. CBCT at two years follow-up confirmed apical closure and complete healing. This case shows that a regenerative endodontic procedure for management of an immature necrotic permanent molar is feasible and can be successfully done using Ca(OH)2 and MM-MTA.
