Treatment outcomes of permanent teeth with uncomplicated and complicated crown fractures and factors associated with pulp survival: A retrospective study. Dent Traumatol 2024; 40:306-315. [PMID: 37916540 DOI: 10.1111/edt.12907] [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: 05/23/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/21/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Crown fracture is the most common injury in permanent teeth. This study aimed to evaluate the treatment outcomes of permanent teeth with uncomplicated and complicated crown fractures and to investigate potential factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study included patients who experienced crown fractures in permanent teeth from 2018 to 2021 with at least 12 months of follow-up. All complicated crown fractured teeth were treated with pulpotomy, while for teeth with uncomplicated crown fractures, three treatments (restoration, indirect pulp capping, or pulpotomy) were employed. The chi-square test was used to compare the prognosis of teeth with uncomplicated and complicated crown fractures. Potential factors associated with pulp survival including gender, interval, root development, enamel infraction, mobility, concomitant luxation injury, treatment, and coronal restoration were identified via Cox regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 307 teeth from 220 children (average age = 9.3 ± 1.4 years; age range, 6-14 years) with a median follow-up of 23 months were included, and 82.1% of all teeth had immature roots. Complicated crown fractured teeth (93.6%, 102/109) had a significantly higher success rate compared with uncomplicated crown fractured teeth (85.4%, 169/198) (p < .05). Pulpotomy (96.9%) had the highest success rate of all treatments for uncomplicated crown fractures, followed by only restoration (85.0%) and indirect pulp capping (76.9%). The success rate of teeth that received pulpotomy was significantly higher than those treated by indirect pulp capping (p < .05). In uncomplicated crown fractures, teeth with Class II mobility were more vulnerable to failure than teeth without abnormal mobility (HR = 34.83; 95% CI, 9.59-126.56; p < .05); teeth that received pulpotomy were less prone to failure than teeth that received indirect pulp capping (HR = 13.53; 95% CI, 1.58-115.72; p < .05). CONCLUSION Crown fractures treated with conservative pulp treatments had a relatively highly favorable prognosis. The prognosis of uncomplicated crown fractured teeth was impacted by the severity of periodontal injury and treatment strategies. Accurate diagnosis and identification of micro-exposures are important. Dentists should take multiple risk factors into account and select optimal treatment strategies.

Abstract
A complicated crown fracture in a permanent incisor is one of the most difficult traumatic dental injuries to deal with. Treatment involves multiple visits and invasive intraoperative interventions and this is a very costly procedure. However, progress in vital pulp therapy and adhesive dentistry may allow practitioners to treat these injuries with a conservative method. Correct diagnosis of the pulp is important as it forms the basis for the establishment of an appropriate management strategy. A partial pulpotomy is indicated if the patient has significant pulp exposure or if it is reported after a considerable delay. It has been reported that partial pulpotomies after complicated crown fractures have a 96% success rate. Other studies have reported that partial pulpotomy is a treatment of choice after a complicated traumatic crown fracture, with a very high success record. Traditionally, calcium hydroxide has been applied as a dressing agent. However, research has recently focused on other calcium silicate cements (CSC), such as Biodentine (BD). This study aimed to illustrate the successful management of a vital permanent incisor with complicated crown fractures, which were treated by partial pulpotomy using Biodentine material and evaluated for healing clinically and radiographically. No radiographic signs of failure or clinical symptoms were detected over a one-year period.

Abstract
Calcium silicate-based materials are hydrophilic materials with biocompatibility and bioactivity properties. Despite many advantages, they might present some problems related to discolouration, setting time, manipulation and solubility depending on the composition of the product and the type of clinical application. Calcium silicate-based materials can be evaluated under two types according to their intended use: calcium silicate-based cements (CSCs) and calcium silicate-based sealers (CSSs). CSCs can be used in many endodontic procedures including perforation repair, resorption repair, apical barriers, guided endodontic repair, vital pulp treatment, endodontic surgery, root fractures and root canal filling as a core obturation material. CSSs are available for use with gutta-percha to obturate root canals using cold and warm techniques, including the sealer-based obturation technique. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the available literature on CSCs and CSSs and to provide up-to-date information and recommendations for their clinical applications.

Immature permanent incisors with complicated crown fractures treated with partial pulpotomy using white mineral trioxide aggregate and IRoot BP plus-a retrospective long-term study. Dent Traumatol 2023; 39:165-172. [PMID: 36409268 DOI: 10.1111/edt.12804] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2022] [Revised: 10/21/2022] [Accepted: 10/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Calcium silicate cements have been widely used for pulpotomies in immature permanent teeth with complicated crown fractures due to their superior properties. However, few studies have evaluated the long-term outcomes of white mineral trioxide aggregate (WMTA) and iRoot BP Plus for partial pulpotomies. The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of WMTA and iRoot BP Plus for partial pulpotomies in immature permanent incisors with complicated crown fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS Children who had partial pulpotomies of immature permanent incisors with complicated crown fractures using WMTA or iRoot BP Plus as capping agents were enrolled. Eighty immature permanent incisors in 68 children (aged 8-13 years) were included. They were divided into two groups (WMTA and iRoot BP Plus) according to the capping agents. Clinical and radiographic information was collected during a 5-year follow-up period. Study data were analyzed using Chi-square tests or Fisher exact tests. RESULTS The clinical and radiographic success rates in the WMTA (n = 36) and iRoot BP Plus groups (n = 44) were 94.4% versus 97.7% and 88.9% versus 97.7%, respectively (both p < .05). The average observation period was 74.5 ± 13.2 months and 61.9 ± 1.6 months in the WMTA and iRoot BP Plus groups, respectively (p < .01). Five cases presented with periapical radiolucencies. The WMTA group had four cases of pulp canal calcification (11.1%), while the iRoot BP Plus group had two cases (4.6%). There was crown discolouration in all cases in the WMTA group, but none in the iRoot BP Plus group. CONCLUSION Both WMTA and iRoot BP Plus had favorable outcomes in promoting physiological development and maintaining the basic functions of immature permanent incisors with complicated crown fractures. As a partial pulpotomy material, iRoot BP Plus may be more suitable for the esthetic zone than WMTA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Complicated crown fractures are frequently encountered in the paediatric population and pulpotomy procedures (either partial or coronal) are recommended to maintain the pulp. The aim of this study was to determine the pulp outcomes of permanent teeth with complicated crown fractures treated with pulpotomy in a hospital-setting and to identify potential factors which may influence the outcomes. MATERIAL AND METHODS Data for this retrospective study were extracted from dental records of patients with complicated crown fractures and treated with pulpotomies at a single centre between 1 January 2015 and 30 August 2019. Pulp outcomes were determined, and the associations between the outcome and independent variables were assessed using the Chi-Square test of independence and the Point-Biserial Correlation Test. Predictors of outcome were identified using the binary logistic regression model. RESULTS The overall success of pulpotomy in managing traumatised permanent teeth was 61%, which was lower than those previously reported. Pulp healing was seen in 54.1% and 73.7% of teeth treated with partial pulpotomies and coronal pulpotomies, respectively. The presence of a radiographically detectable dentine bridge (p < .01) and longer clinical experience of the clinician (p < .04) was significantly associated with successful outcomes. The history of pain and the stage of root development were identified as significant predictors of the outcome. CONCLUSION Pulpotomy is a viable treatment modality for complicated crown fractures in the paediatric population. However, appropriate case selection and further training may be required to ensure improved pulp healing outcomes. A longer follow-up period should be considered to identify late-stage complications.

Abstract
Dental trauma may have a severe impact on the social and psychological wellbeing of a patient. Most cases of dental injuries involve anterior teeth, especially the maxillary upper incisors. Crown fractures, with or without pulp exposure, are the most common trauma in permanent dentition. There are many methods of management, in which the initial state of the pulp, the time since the injury, and the presence of an accompanying injury play a key role. This case report aimed at showing a possible conservative treatment after complicated tooth fracture that consisted of partial pulpotomy followed by adhesive reattachment of the tooth fragment using a technique based on heated resin composite. Such a specific procedure represents a conservative approach to traumatic coronal lesions, providing a suitable opportunity to maintain the tooth vitality, aesthetics, and function. Indeed, reattachment of tooth fragment using a composite/adhesive is a simple technique to achieve excellent results in terms of aesthetic and function.

Abstract
The indications of vital pulp therapy (VPT) are expanding, which cases are suitable for VPT, and how to improve the success rate of VPT is a problem that often bothers us. The main purpose of VPT is to eliminate pulpitis by promoting the formation of reparative dentin or calcium bridge, so that it can continue to perform various physiological functions, and finally achieve the purpose of preserving pulp vitality and long-term preservation of affected teeth. Pulp capping and pulpotomy are the most common methods for VPT. The research field of VPT has attracted the attention of many scholars, who have studied it from many aspects (such as indications, material selection, operation requirements, and long-term prognosis). This article reviews the recent advances in the techniques of VPT in permanent teeth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Partial pulpotomy is a procedural intervention that can maintain the vitality of pulp during the management of traumatized permanent teeth with pulpal involvement. AIM To evaluate whether partial pulpotomy can be considered a reliable conservative treatment option for treating traumatized permanent anterior teeth with pulpal involvement. METHODOLOGY A computerized systematic search was performed in PubMed, Science Direct, Cochrane, and LILACS databases from 1980 to May 2021. Five studies were included in the final analysis. Quality assessment, Meta-analysis, and Publication bias of the studies were evaluated. This systematic review was registered in PROSPERO (ID - CRD42021262031). RESULT The comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software was used. The test of the heterogeneity was analysed using Cochran's Q statistics. The Q value was 7.186 (df = 6) with a P value of 0.3 and I2 as 16.5%. The studies were considered homogenous, and the fixed-effect model showed an overall point estimate of 0.89 with a 95% confidence interval (0.86-0.91). The Begg and Egger funnel plot indicated that there was no publication bias in the included studies. CONCLUSION Evidence indicates that partial pulpotomy may be considered a reliable definitive treatment option in asymptomatic traumatized permanent anterior teeth with exposed pulp rather than total pulpotomy.

Abstract
Background Consensus on the treatment of choice for complicated crown fractures of teeth is limited. Recent guidance recommends vital‐pulp‐therapy; however, the preferred type is not specified. Higher success rates for pulpotomy compared to pulp‐capping have been documented, which suggests pulpotomy may be a preferable option for complicated crown‐fractures. Objectives The purpose of this systematic review was to determine the success rate of pulpotomy (partial and complete) on teeth that suffered complicated crown fractures. Participants: patients who have suffered a complicated crown fracture to an anterior permanent tooth. Intervention: pulpotomy (partial or complete). Comparator: pulp‐capping or root canal treatment. Outcome: combined clinical and radiographic success at or after 12 months. Methods A systematic literature using key search terms was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science and Cochrane‐Central‐Register‐of‐Controlled‐Trials (CENTRAL) as well as a grey literature search from inception to May 2021 and without language restricted to English. Strict inclusion criteria were applied. A standardized tool with defined criteria to assess the risk of bias in each study was used. For non‐randomized comparative trials, the Robins‐I tool was used while the Newcastle‐Ottawa scale was used for non‐comparative non‐randomized studies. Results Seven retrospective clinical studies were included. The studies reported high success rates for pulpotomy with overall success ranges for partial or complete pulpotomy ranging from 75% to 96%. One study compared the success rates of pulpotomy to an alternative treatment option pulp capping (90.9% vs. 67%, respectively). Due to the lack of homogeneity in the included studies, a meta‐analysis was not possible. Discussion This review highlights the limited evidence based for the current guidance on treatment of complicated crown fractures. The findings of the review indicate high success rates for pulpotomy; however, there is a moderate risk of bias and small sample sizes in the included studies with the result that the overall results should be interpreted with caution. Conclusion Within the limitations of this review, the benefits and high success rates reported for partial pulpotomy suggest this procedure, rather than pulp‐capping, should be considered as the treatment of choice for both immature and mature teeth that have suffered complicated crown‐fractures.

Abstract
The prognosis of traumatized teeth depends largely on the fate of the pulp and its treatment. This review aims to update the present status on the endodontic management of traumatic injuries to permanent teeth and to identify relevant research areas that could contribute to an improvement in diagnosis and treatment of traumatized permanent teeth. Future research should pay greater attention to (1) diagnostic methods to assess the perfusion of the pulp and enhance detection of tooth cracks and initial signs of root resorption; (2) improved materials for vital pulp treatment; (3) studies focusing on type and duration of splinting after root fractures; (4) antiresorptive intracanal medication in case of posttraumatic pulp necrosis and infection-related resorption and (5) long-term data on the apical barrier technique compared to revitalization.

An electronic search in six databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, LILACS, SCIELO, Web of Science, and Scopus) was conducted by three independent reviewers to identify eligible articles. The following search terms were used: ((discolo*, staining potential, color, colour, or spectrophotomet*), (teeth or tooth), and (Biodentine)). Methodology following the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) guidelines was adopted for this investigation. At the end of the selection process, 30 articles were identified as eligible, of which 14 in vitro studies were included in this systematic review. Nine of the included studies evaluated the discoloration potential of Biodentine in the presence of blood. Within the limitations of this review, teeth discoloration using Biodentine is highly expected when material is placed in direct contact with blood during dental procedures. In the absence of blood, Biodentine causes less teeth color changes than MTA-based materials, but it is still unclear what clinically relevant results could be expected regarding the discoloration frequency and intensity induced by Biodentine.

Abstract
This position statement represents a consensus of an expert committee convened by the European Society of Endodontology (ESE) on the endodontic management of traumatized permanent teeth. A recent comprehensive review with detailed background information provides the basis for this position statement (Krastl et al. 2021, International Endodontic Journal, https://doi.org/10.1111/iej.13508). The statement is based on current scientific evidence as well as the expertise of the committee. Complementing the recently revised guidelines of the International Association of Dental Traumatology, this position statement aims to provide clinical guidance for the choice of the appropriate endodontic approach for traumatized permanent teeth. Given the dynamic nature of research in this area, this position statement will be updated at appropriate intervals.

Abstract
The pulp plays a key role in the treatment of traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) and is strongly associated with the outcome, particularly in severe cases. A correct pulp diagnosis is essential as it forms the basis for developing the appropriate management strategy. However, many TDIs are complex, and their treatment requires a profound knowledge of the physiological and pathological responses of the affected tissues. This comprehensive review will look at the dentine-pulp complex and its interaction with the surrounding tissues following TDIs. The literature up to 2020 was reviewed based on several searches on PubMed and the Cochrane Library using relevant terms. In addition to the recently revised guidelines of the International Association of Dental Traumatology, this article aims to provide background information with a focus on endodontic aspects and to gather evidence on which a clinician can make decisions on the choice of the appropriate endodontic approach for traumatized permanent teeth.
