Abstract
Apexification is a technique used to create a mineralized barrier in a root having an open apex or to continue the apical growth of a root that is still not fully developed in teeth with necrotic pulps. Biodentine is a versatile material which can help in achieving apical closure as well as reinforcement of thin dentinal walls, thus improving the overall prognosis and preserving the natural dentition. In the present case, the radiographic evaluation showed thinner dentinal walls and an open apex with periapical radiolucency in relation to the upper right central incisor. The large open root apex and thin dentin walls of immature permanent teeth render them challenging to treat with root canal therapy. This case report describes a modified single-step apexification procedure and strengthening of the dentinal walls of the root canal using Biodentine.

[PMID: 38007432 PMCID: PMC10676601 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-023-04550-4] [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: 02/05/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 11/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Pulp treatment is extremely common in endodontics, with the main purpose of eliminating clinical symptoms and preserving tooth physiological function. However, the effect of dental pulp treatment is closely related to the methods and materials used in the process of treatment. Plenty of studies about calcium silicate-based bioceramics which are widely applied in various endodontic operations have been reported because of their significant biocompatibility and bioactivity. Although most of these materials have superior physical and chemical properties, the differences between them can also have an impact on the success rate of different clinical practices. Therefore, this review is focused on the applications of several common calcium silicate-based bioceramics, including Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Biodentine, Bioaggregate, iRoot BP Plus in usual endodontic treatment, such as dental pulp capping, root perforation repair, regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs), apexification, root-end filling and root canal treatment (RCT). Besides, the efficacy of these bioceramics mentioned above in human trials is also compared, which aims to provide clinical guidance for their clinical application in endodontics.

Abstract
This case report presents a five-year follow-up and the management of a necrotic, immature incisor tooth treated by a novel platelet-rich plasma/platelet extract solution and platelet-rich fibrin (PRP-PES/PRF) and the restoration by using a stress-reduced direct composite restoration (SRDC) technique. The patient with a broken maxillary lateral tooth was referred to our clinic. Extra/intra-oral examinations were within normal limits. The nonvital tooth having an apical lesion and open-apical apex was treated with a regenerative endodontic treatment procedure (REP), and further root development with continued apical closure was shown in the follow-ups up to 60 months. In conclusion, the SRDC and PRP-PES/PRF combination can be an opportunity for the teeth requiring post-restoration. In contrast to the treatment strategy susceptible to weakening or fracturing the patient's tooth root, the REP approach may lead to a better prognosis for the patient's tooth.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a modified pulpotomy (MP) procedure in immature permanent teeth with apical periodontitis (AP). DESIGN Randomised controlled trial. SETTING One public hospital in Shanghai, China PARTICIPANTS: A total of 33 teeth (31 patients) with a definitive diagnosis of AP with radiographic periapical radiolucency were recruited in this study. All the patients (teeth) completed the study accordingly. METHODS AND INTERVENTION Patients were randomly assigned to either MP or apexification treatment groups and were followed up for 12 months. Clinical symptoms and complications were recorded, and parallel periapical radiographic images were used to measure changes in root length and apical diameter. Wilcoxon's rank sum test and Fisher's exact test were used to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes between MP and apexification, and analysed with analysis of variance. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE The primary outcome was increase in root length at 12 months. The secondary outcomes included tooth survival, clinical success and decrease in apical diameter. RESULTS MP group showed a significant increase in root length (10.05%±2.14% vs 1.16%±0.79%, p<0.05) at 12 months and a decrease in apical diameter (48.88%±10.42% vs 15.90%±8.88%, p<0.05) as compared with the apexification group. The tooth survival rate was 100%, and 90.91% (30/33) of teeth were asymptomatic with apical healing in both treatment groups (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS MP can be an option for treating immature permanent teeth with AP. MP showed better performance in terms of continued root maturation than apexification. MP and apexification achieved comparable outcomes with regard to the resolution of clinical symptoms and apical healing. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR-INR-17012169.

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.

Long-term outcome of nonvital immature permanent teeth treated with apexification and corono-radicular adhesive restoration - a case series. J Endod 2022; 48:1191-1199. [PMID: 35750220 DOI: 10.1016/j.joen.2022.06.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2022] [Revised: 06/03/2022] [Accepted: 06/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aims to evaluate the long-term outcome of sixteen permanent maxillary central incisors with nonvital pulps and open apices treated with apexification and corono-radicular adhesive restorations, within a follow-up span of 5 to 22 years. METHODS Fourteen patients providing a total of sixteen teeth treated with MTA (n = 12), Biodentine (n = 3) or β-tricalcium phosphate (n = 1) apical barrier and corono-radicular restoration, with or without fiberglass post, were included. Clinical and radiographic criteria were defined for assessment at recall. Restoration and periapical tissues' status evaluation were performed according to FDI World Dental Federation's esthetic, functional and biological criteria and Ørstavik Periapical Index (PAI). Outcome was dichotomized in "healed" (PAI ≤ 2, asymptomatic with absence of signs of infection) or "not healed" (PAI ≥ 3, presence of clinical signs and/or symptoms). RESULTS Fourteen out of twenty-four patients were available for the present study (recall rate = 58%). Within a follow-up of 5 to 22 years, ten (62.5%) teeth were considered "healed", fulfilling both strict clinical and radiographic success criteria. Only one tooth was missing due to root resorption and one patient was presenting with clinical signs and symptoms at recall, resulting in a survival rate of 93.8%. CONCLUSIONS Adhesive corono-radicular restoration in nonvital permanent immature teeth treated with apexification allows for favorable long-term outcomes, by ensuring structural reinforcement and coronal microleakage prevention. Teeth sustaining a substantial loss of coronal structure may require post/core placement. In the case of failure, this endodontic-restorative combination assured teeth survival until growth phase conclusion, thus allowing for proper prosthetic rehabilitation approaches.

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
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
Objective: The study aimed to compare treatment outcomes when MTA apical plugs are placed to different apical extents in nonvital immature permanent anterior teeth with an open apex. Methods: Six participants (five male & one female) between the age group of 8-18 years exhibiting bilateral traumatized nonvital immature permanent maxillary anterior teeth (n=12) with non-blunderbuss canal (Cvek’s stage 4) were included. Standardized endodontic procedures were performed, and an inter-appointment calcium hydroxide medicament placed for one week. Based on the apical position of the MTA apical barrier, two study groups were defined. Accordingly, Group I {(n=6) (4mm MTA plug up to the radiographic root end)} and Group II {(n=6) (4 mm MTA plug 2 mm short of the radiographic root-end)}. Teeth were obturated after twenty-four hours with thermoplasticized gutta-percha technique. They were evaluated clinically and radiographically at 12 and 24 months. Radiographs were assessed for periapical healing based on the periapical index (PAI) scores that were dichotomized as score <3 as healed and ≥3 as not healed. The data were compared using Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis and post hoc analysis. Results: At 24 months, all teeth in Group I and II were healed clinically and radiographically. On inter-group comparison, radiographically, all teeth (n=12) exhibited a PAI score <3 and were categorized as healed (P=1.00). Conclusion: The apical extent of MTA plug does not influence the treatment outcome. The clinician can place MTA apical plug either up to or 2 mm short of the radiographic root-end.

Abstract
Background/purpose Residual calcium hydroxide (CH) in the root canal dentine walls may influence the adhesion of tricalcium silicate-based materials. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of various CH removal protocols on the dislodgement resistance of biodentine from simulated immature root canals in an experimental apexification model. Materials and methods CH was applied to 120 simulated immature root canals. The samples were divided into 12 experimental groups (n = 10) according to the applied irrigation protocols used for the removal of CH: Group 1: Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), Conventional needle irrigation (CNI); Group 2: NaOCl, EndoActivator; Group 3: NaOCl, XP-endo Finisher; Group 4: NaOCl- Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), CNI; Group 5: NaOCl-EDTA, EndoActivator; Group 6: NaOCl-EDTA, XP-Endo Finisher; Group 7: NaOCl+etidronic acid (HEBP), CNI; Group 8: NaOCl+HEBP, EndoActivator; Group 9: NaOCl+HEBP, XP-endo Finisher; Group 10: NaOCl- Peracetic acid (PAA), CNI; Group 11: NaOCl-PAA, EndoActivator; Group 12: NaOCl-PAA, XP-endo Finisher; Control Group: CH was not applied. Biodentine was placed at the apical thirds of 130 immature root canals. Vertical loading was applied to biodentine fillings inside the dentin discs. Maximum force to dislodge the material was statistically analyzed with ANOVA. Results The control, NaOCl+HEBP (CNI, EndoActivator, XP-endo Finisher) and NaOCl-PAA (EndoActivator, XP-endo Finisher) groups exhibited the lowest dislodgement resistance values (p < 0.001). When used CNI, irrigation with NaOCl+HEBP resulted in lower resistance to dislodgement of biodentine compared to NaOCl, and NaOCl-EDTA (p < 0.001). Conclusion Adhesion of apical barrier materials to root canal dentine can be influenced by the irrigation protocols used for CH removal.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was the isolation and characterization of dental follicle-derived Hertwig's epithelial root sheath cells (DF-HERSCs). MATERIALS AND METHODS DF-HERSCs were isolated from dental follicle (DF)-derived single-cell suspensions. Their epithelial phenotypes were analyzed by Western blotting, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) was induced in DF-HERSCs by treatment with transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) or fetal bovine serum (FBS)-added medium. Characteristics of DF-HERSCs were compared with normal human oral keratinocytes (NHOKs) and normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs). Osteogenic differentiation and mineralization of DF-HERSCs were analyzed by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Alizarin red staining. All experiments were conducted in triplicate. RESULTS Primary DF-HERSCs were isolated from DF. Epithelial phenotypes of DF-HERSCs were confirmed by morphological and Western blot analysis. PCR results demonstrated that the origin of DF-HERSCs was neither endothelial nor hematopoietic. Enamel matrix derivative (EMD)-associated genes were not expressed in DF-HERSCs. Treatment with TGF-β and FBS-added medium triggered the progression of EMT in DF-HERSCs. The acquired potency of differentiation and mineralization was shown in EMT-progressed DF-HERSCs. CONCLUSIONS DF contains putative populations of HERSC, named DF-HERSC. DF-HERSCs shared common characteristics with NHOKs and NHEKs.

Çırakoğlu S, Baddal B, İslam A. The Effectiveness of Laser-Activated Irrigation on the Apical Microleakage Qualities of MTA Repair HP and NeoMTA Plus in Simulated Immature Teeth: A Comparative Study. MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13153287. [PMID: 32718044 PMCID: PMC7436115 DOI: 10.3390/ma13153287] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2020] [Revised: 07/10/2020] [Accepted: 07/17/2020] [Indexed: 01/09/2023]
Abstract
There are limited data regarding the potential effect of erbium, chromium: yttrium–scandium–gallium–garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser-activated irrigation (LAI) on the microleakage qualities of calcium silicate-based cements. The objective of the present study was to assess the effect of LAI on the microleakage qualities of MTA Repair HP (MTA-HP) and NeoMTA Plus (Neo) used in root-end filling and to compare the antimicrobial effectiveness of MTA- HP. Two experimental sets were conducted: antimicrobial activity (agar diffusion test/at 24, 48 h) and microleakage (glucose leakage model/at 1st, 10th, 20th days). Antimicrobial activities of MTA-HP, Neo, Biodentine, ProRoot and MTA Angelus were evaluated, and inhibition zones were observed not only against a range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria but also against yeast at 48h. For microleakage evaluation, fifty teeth were prepared to simulate the clinical situation where the root-tips (apex) are open, and randomly divided into two experimental groups (n = 20/group) according to the cement type (MTA-HP and Neo), and two control (n = 5/group) groups. Each experimental group was further divided into two subgroups (n = 10/group) with respect to LAI: MTA-HP, L-HP, Neo, L-Neo. A statistical difference was only detected between Neo and L-HP groups on day 1. Subsequently, MTA-HP exhibited superior microleakage quality compared to Neo in the short-term. Er,Cr:YSGG laser-activated irrigation could be used as a reliable technique without creating adverse effects on the sealing abilities of MTA Repair HP and NeoMTA Plus.
