Abstract
Fractal analysis (FA) is a quantitative, objective and non-invasive method that facilitates the characterisation of the tissue architecture. This study aims to compare the periapical healing at 1-year follow-up by evaluating newly generated trabecular bone with FA after Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) plug and regenerative endodontic treatment (RET). A total of 55 asymptomatic teeth with a single-canal, open apex and periapical lesion, treated with MTA plug or RET, were evaluated retrospectively. After considering the inclusion/exclusion criteria, FA was conducted on 30 periapical images using the box-counting method. In both groups, a significant decrease was observed in the periapical lesion size at 1-year follow-up (p < 0.01). However, there was no significant difference between the MTA plug and RET (p > 0.01). Significantly higher fractal dimension values were detected at 1-year follow-up in both MTA plug and RET cases (p < 0.01). However, the difference was not significant between the groups (p > 0.01). Both procedures seem to improve periapical healing with a new resistant bone of similar density and complexity.

Apical Sealing Ability of Two Calcium Silicate-Based Sealers Using a Radioactive Isotope Method: An In Vitro Apexification Model. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14216456. [PMID: 34771981 PMCID: PMC8585189 DOI: 10.3390/ma14216456] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2021] [Revised: 10/22/2021] [Accepted: 10/25/2021] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the sealing ability of two calcium silicate-based sealers (TotalFill BC RRM Fast Set Putty and White ProRoot MTA) when used as apical plugs in immature teeth through nuclear medicine. Single-rooted extracted teeth (n = 34) had their crowns and root tip sectioned to obtain 14 mm long root segments to simulate an in vitro apexification model. Were created two experimental groups, namely MTA (n = 12) and BC (n = 12), and two control groups, PG (positive group, n = 5) and NG (negative group, n = 5). On the 4th day after placing the respective apical plug, the apical portions of the teeth were submerged in a solution of sodium pertechnetate (99mTcNaO4) for 3 h. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between the MTA group and the controls (p < 0.05). The BC group had a significant difference regarding the negative control (p < 0.001) but showed no statistical significance regarding the positive control (p = 0.168). There was a statistically significant difference (p = 0.009) between the BC group (7335.8 ± 2755.5) and the MTA group (4059.1 ± 1231.1), where the last showed less infiltration. Within the limitations of this study, White ProRoot MTA had a significantly better sealing ability than TotalFill BC RRM Fast Set Putty.

Abstract
Apexification strategies in traumatised non-vital immature permanent teeth can promote root-end closure and continued root development. However, traumatic injuries may compromise the integrity of generative cells of the apical papilla responsible for root maturation. This report describes the long-term treatment outcome of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) apexification managed with late-term surgical intervention. A seven-year-old male reported with swelling and suppuration associated with a traumatised maxillary left central incisor (#21). After palliative treatment and MTA apexification procedures, the incisor demonstrated normal function during a 14.5-year period with radiographic evidence of atypical radicular elongation. Seventeen years after initial treatment, the patient presented with mid-plate buccal swelling and surgical treatment was completed involving root resection, biopsy of a spherical mineralised tissue specimen and placement of MTA root-end filling. Periapical healing and normal tooth function was evident at the 20-year review.

Eur Arch Paediatr Dent 2020; 22:515-525.

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.
