Abstract
To evaluate the effects of the association of host defence peptide IDR-1002 and ciprofloxacin on human dental pulp cells (hDPSCs). hDPSCs were stimulated with ciprofloxacin and IDR-1002. Cell viability (by MTT assay), migration capacity (by scratch assay), production of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators by hDPSCs (RT-PCR) and osteogenic differentiation (alizarin red staining) were evaluated. Phenotypic profile of hDPSCs demonstrated 97% for positive marked mesenchymal stem cell. Increased pulp cell migration and proliferation were observed after 24 and 48 h of exposure to IDR-1002 with ciprofloxacin. Mineral matrix formation by hDPSCs was observed of the association while its reduction was observed in the presence of peptide. After 24 h, the association between ciprofloxacin and IDR-1002 significantly downregulated TNFRSF-1, IL-1β, IL-8, IL-6 and IL-10 gene expression (p ≤ 0.0001). The association between the IDR-1002 and ciprofloxacin showed favourable immunomodulatory potential, emerging as a promising option for pulp revascularisation processes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Tooth color matching is challenging, and digital photocolorimetry using eLABor_aid (eLAB) provides objective evaluation through polarized photographs. However, its comparability with spectrophotometry remains unclear. METHODS AND MATERIALS Bovine incisor root canals (n=30) were prepared to simulate an incomplete root apex. The teeth were randomly assigned to three groups based on intracanal medication: control (without medication); calcium hydroxide/propylene glycol; and triple-antibiotic paste (n=10 each). Tooth color was assessed using both eLAB and spectrophotometry. Measurements were taken at the crown medio-cervical region on five-time intervals (baseline, 1, 3, 7, and 14 days). Statistical analysis included two-way repeated-measures ANOVA, Sidak post hoc and Pearson's correlation test (α=0.05). RESULTS No significant differences were observed between the two methods for either medication or follow-ups (p>0.05). Triple-antibiotic paste exhibited higher color variation (p<0.05). After 7 days, all groups presented significant color changes (p<0.05). Moderate to high correlations (R2 from 0.51 to 0.84, p<0.0001) were found between both methods for all groups at all intervals. CONCLUSION The eLAB is a reliable method for detecting tooth color changes, and its results are comparable to spectrophotometry analysis.

Antibiotic Over-Prescription by Dentists in the Treatment of Apical Periodontitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Antibiotics (Basel) 2024; 13:289. [PMID: 38666965 PMCID: PMC11047734 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics13040289] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2024] [Revised: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024] Open
Abstract
After pulp infection and necrosis, the passage of microbial antigens into the periapical space causes apical periodontitis (AP). Most of the clinical forms of AP can be managed without prescribing antibiotics, only with root canal treatment and abscess drainage or, where appropriate, tooth extraction. However, the scientific literature provides evidence of inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions by dentists in the management of apical disease. OBJECTIVES The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to analyze the global pattern of antibiotic prescription in the treatment of apical disease. METHODS PRISMA Guidelines were followed to carry out this systematic review. The research question was as follows: What is the pattern of antibiotic prescription by dentists in the treatment of the different clinical forms of apical periodontitis? A systematic search was conducted on MEDLINE/PubMed, Wiley Online Database, Web of Science and Scopus. All studies reporting data about the pattern of antibiotic prescription by dentists in the treatment of apical disease were included. The meta-analyses were calculated using the Open Meta Analyst version 10.10 software. Random-effects meta-analyses were performed. The risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The certainty of evidence was assessed using GRADE. RESULTS The search strategy identified 96 articles and thirty-nine cross-sectional studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The overall percentage of antibiotic prescriptions by dentists in cases of symptomatic AP was 25.8%, and 31.5% in cases of asymptomatic AP with sinus tract present. The percentage of dentists prescribing antibiotics in cases of acute apical abscess with no/mild symptoms was 47.7%, whereas, in cases of acute apical abscess with moderate/severe symptoms, 88.8% of dentists would prescribe antibiotics. Endodontists prescribe antibiotics at a lower rate than general practitioners. The total risk of bias was considered moderate, and the final rating for the certainty of the evidence was low. CONCLUSIONS Dentists worldwide are over-prescribing antibiotics in the management of apical disease. It is necessary to improve antibiotic prescribing habits in the treatment of endodontic infections, as well as educational initiatives to encourage the rational and appropriate prescription of antibiotics in periapical diseases.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the syringe-needle irrigation (SNI), passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), EDDY, and shock wave-enhanced emission photoacoustic streaming (SWEEPS) techniques regarding calcium hydroxide and double antibiotic paste removal from the root canal in regenerative endodontic treatments. Eighty single-rooted human teeth were decoronated and enlarged up to #100 to stimulate the immature tooth model. Root canals were irrigated with 1.5% sodium hypochlorite followed by saline solution according to the regenerative endodontic treatment protocol. Dressed teeth were divided into 2 main groups regarding the used intracanal medicaments. Calcium hydroxide and double antibiotic paste were introduced to the canals, and teeth were stored for 3 weeks. Each medicament group was divided into 4 subgroups according to the activation techniques. Medicaments were removed using a 17% EDTA solution. Teeth were split longitudinally into two parts. The remaining medicaments were evaluated under a stereo microscope with a scoring system. Data were analyzed with the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests. Regardless of the used irrigation activation systems, there was no statistically significant difference between the removal of the CH and DAP from the root canal (P>0.05). While SWEEPS had the highest ability regarding the removal of intracanal medicaments, syringe-needle irrigation had the lowest (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between PUI and EDDY (P>0.05). Complete removal of intracanal medicaments could not be achieved with any techniques. SWEEPS technology was more effective in removing intracanal medicaments in regenerative endodontic treatments compared to the sonic and ultrasonic irrigation activation systems.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the effect of the XP-Endo Finisher (XPF), passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) and conventional irrigation using side-vented needle (SVN) on the amount of apically extruded debris and canal cleanliness following the removal of double antibiotic paste (DAP) from immature root canal models. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-eight extracted mandibular premolars were drilled using peeso drills to simulate immature apices. The canals were filled with DAP and were randomly assigned into 3 groups according to the DAP removal method: XPF, PUI, and SVN (n = 16). The amount of extruded debris was assessed with an analytical balance then roots were split longitudinally and imaged using stereomicroscope to evaluate the residual medicament. Data were statistically analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's test. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to determine significant correlation between extruded debris and the residual DAP scores. RESULTS There was no significant difference between debris extrusion values for all groups (P value 0.237). For canal cleanliness, the amount of remaining DAP was significantly lower in the XPF and PUI compared to SVN (P value < 0.001). A non-significant positive (direct) correlation was found between the amounts of apically extruded debris and residual DAP scores (P value 0.087). CONCLUSION XPF and PUI were associated with better canal cleanliness during removal of DAP, no difference could be found between the three irrigation techniques regarding the debris extrusion.

Abstract
Objective The present research evaluated and compared effectiveness between nitrofurantoin and double antibiotic paste in alleviating post-operative pain in patients suffering from symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Methods There were 60 subjects enrolled who were allotted among three groups: Group 1 - Nitrofurantoin, Group 2 - double antibiotic paste, and Group 3 - Control. Succeeding access opening and chemo mechanical preparation, intracanal medicament was placed in the root canals. Using a numerical pain scale, pain scores were measured at the following time intervals: preoperative, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h. One-way ANOVA and post hoc statistical analysis were conducted, with a p-value of ⩽ considered as statistically significant. Results Preoperatively, most patients experienced moderate to severe pain. The patients in groups 1 and 2 reported considerable reduction in their pain scores (p ⩽ 0.001) on each time interval. However, patients in group 3 experienced a higher level of pain even at 72 h. No considerable distinction was found among participant's pain scores of groups 1 and 2 (p = 0.193). Conclusion For effective pain-relieving, both nitrofurantoin and double antibiotic paste can be successfully used in patients suffering from symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. However, when calcium hydroxide was used, patients experience high levels of pain.

Abstract
Aim Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is a relatively new versatile dental material. MTA has many advantages as well as disadvantages. To reduce most of the drawbacks of MTA, a premixed bioceramic MTA, NeoPutty MTA, was introduced in 2020. In this study, we assessed the antimicrobial activity of the newer MTA, NeoPutty MTA. We modified NeoPutty MTA and compared both against Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli. Materials and Methods Using the agar diffusion method, NeoPutty MTA was tested for antibacterial activity against the above-mentioned microorganisms. A base layer of Petri plates was done using Muller-Hinton agar for S. aureus, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa and brain heart infusion agar for E. faecalis. A total of 32 plates were employed; the plates were divided randomly into four test groups having eight plates each, so microorganisms were tested eight times. Three cavities were made in agar and filled with freshly mixed materials after 24 h. A pour plate seeded the microorganisms. The plates were pre-incubated for 2 h at room temperature and incubated at 37°C for 24 h. An independent observer measured the inhibition zone diameters. Results NeoPutty MTA, when tested alone, did not show much antibacterial activity against E. faecalis, S. aureus, and E. coli but had significant antimicrobial activity against P. aeruginosa when used at different concentrations. Modified NeoPutty (NeoPutty with antibiotics added individually) showed significant antibacterial activity against these microorganisms, as seen by the zone of inhibition of these bacteria. Conclusion Modified NeoPutty with antibiotics has a better antimicrobial effect than NeoPutty MTA.

Abstract
AIM There is a need to explore new alternatives for root canal disinfection in regenerative endodontics, since the current strategies are far from ideal. Currently, the potential use of diclofenac (DC) is being investigated for controlling root canal infections. The objective was to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of novel DC-based hydrogels (DCHs) against polymicrobial biofilms grown in radicular dentine and root canals and to compare results with triantibiotic (TAH) and diantibiotic (DAH) hydrogels, and calcium hydroxide (Ca[OH]2 ). METHODOLOGY The in vitro antimicrobial activity of intracanal medicaments was evaluated against 3-week-old polymicrobial root canal biofilms grown on human radicular dentine. Dentine samples were obtained and randomly divided into the study groups (n = 4/group): (1) 1 mg/ml TAH; (2) 1 mg/ml DAH; (3) 5% diclofenac (DCH); (4) 2.5% DCH; (5) 1.25% DCH; (6) 1 mg/ml DAH + 5% DCH; (7) Ca(OH)2 paste; (8) positive control. The microbial viability, in terms of percentage of intact cell membranes, was assessed after 7 days by confocal scanning laser microscopy (CSLM). The ex vivo efficacy of intracanal medications was evaluated in root canals infected with a polymicrobial suspension. Intracanal microbiological samples at baseline (S1) and 7 days post-treatment (S2) were taken; microbial quantification and cell viability were assessed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and flow cytometry (FC). The mean Log10 of bacterial DNA copies in root canal samples before (S1) and the Log10 reduction of DNA copies S1-S2 in qPCR were recorded. The absolute value of total cells stained, and the percentage reduction of intact membrane cells after treatment (S1-S2), were analysed by FC. Global comparison was done using the Kruskal-Wallis test, whilst the Mann-Whitney U test was used for pair-by-pair comparison. RESULTS Confocal scanning laser microscopy analysis indicated that the greatest effectiveness was obtained with 5% DCH, showing significant differences with respect to the other groups (p < .001). In root canals, the highest Log10 DNA reduction S1-S2 was obtained with 5% DCH and TAH, with no differences between them. The results of FC showed that only 5% DCH proved significantly superior to the other treatments. CONCLUSIONS Sodium DC hydrogels demonstrate antimicrobial efficacy against endodontic biofilms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulp revascularization has become a new method for the treatment of periapical diseases in young permanent teeth in recent years. Through root canal flushing and disinfection, avoiding mechanical preparation, guiding apical stem cells into the root canal and promoting the continuous development of tooth roots, it has achieved good clinical curative effects. But in adult patients with chronic periapical periodontitis with immature roots and open apices, apical barrier technology is often used to treat these teeth.
CASE SUMMARY Pulp revascularization of a 26-year-old patient's tooth was performed using cefaclor instead of minocycline and iRoot BP instead of mineral trioxide aggregate as intracanal medication. The case was followed up for 36 mo. Observations showed evidence of regression of clinical signs and symptoms, resolution of apical periodontitis and no discolouration of affected teeth.
CONCLUSION For adult patients with chronic periapical periodontitis with immature roots and open apices, pulp revascularisation showed favourable results in treating these teeth.

Abstract
AIM: The aim of this study is to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of pre-synthesized novel antibiotic loaded electrospun nanofibers and compare it with conventional triple antibiotic paste when used in patients with immature necrotic teeth.
METHODS: Antibiotic loaded nanofibers were fabricated by electrospinning. Thirty-four patients with immature necrotic teeth were included in the study. In the first visit, access cavity preparation was performed to obtain the first bacteriological sample (S1). The canals were thoroughly irrigated using sodium hypochlorite 1.5% and a second sampling was performed (S2). Patients were randomly divided into two groups according to the intracanal medicament used: Modified triple antibiotic paste (MTAP) loaded electrospun nanofibers or MTAP paste. At the second appointment, the third samples (S3) were taken. The intracanal bacterial count was determined using the spread plate culture technique. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to examine the morphology of the fabricated MTAP loaded electrospun nanofibers.
RESULTS: Both MTAP nanofibers and MTAP paste resulted in significant reduction of bacterial count after the irrigation step. MTAP nanofibers resulted in significantly higher percent reduction of bacterial count (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: It was concluded that electrospinning technology can be used to fabricate antibiotic containing nanofibers which can results in enhanced disinfection in regenerative endodontic procedures.

Abstract
Treatment failure of endodontic infections and their concurrent inflammations is commonly associated with microbial persistence and reinfection, also stemming from the anatomical restrictions of the root canal system. Aiming to address the shortcomings of current treatment options, a fast-disintegrating nanofibrous film was developed for the intracanal coadministration of an antimicrobial (ZnO nanoparticles) and an anti-inflammatory (ketoprofen) agent. The electrospun films were fabricated based on polymers that dissolve rapidly to constitute the actives readily available at the site of action, aiming to eliminate both microbial infection and inflammation. The anti-inflammatory potency of the nanofiber films was assessed in an in vitro model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells after confirming their biocompatibility in the same cell line. The nanofiber films were found effective against Enterococcus faecalis, one of the most prominent pathogens inside the root canal space, both in vitro and ex vivo using a human tooth model experimentally infected with E. faecalis. The physical properties and antibacterial and anti-inflammatory potency of the proposed electrospun nanofiber films constitute a promising therapeutic module in the endodontic therapy of nonvital infected teeth. All manuscripts must be accompanied by an abstract. The abstract should briefly state the problem or purpose of the research, indicate the theoretical or experimental plan used, summarize the principal findings, and point out major conclusions.

Abstract
Conventional methods used to control bacterial biofilm infection in root canals have poor efficacy, causing repeated and chronic infections, which pose a great challenge to clinical treatment. Microbubbles, due to their small size and ultrasound (US)-enhanced cavitation effects, have attracted considerable clinical attention. They possess the potential for therapeutic application in restricted spaces. We address the above problem with a strategy for the restricted space of root canals. Herein, phase-change nanodroplets (P-NDs) exposed to US are combined with common antibacterial drugs to disrupt a 7 day Enterococcus faecalis biofilm in an in vitro human tooth model. Specifically, the preparation of P-NDs is based on secondary cavitation. Their average particle size is ∼144 nm, and the stability is favorable. The clearance effect for the biofilm is notable (the disruption rate of P-NDs + US is 63.1%, P < 0.01), while the effect of an antibacterial in conjunction with 2% chlorhexidine (Chx) is significant (the antibiofilm rate of P-NDs@2% Chx + US is 96.2%, P < 0.001). Furthermore, biocompatibility testing on human periodontal ligament fibroblasts demonstrated that P-NDs are safe. In summary, the strategy that we have proposed is suitable for the removal of biofilms in root canals. Notably, it also has great potential for application in the treatment of bacterial infections in restricted spaces.

Efficacy of Ciprofloxacin, Metronidazole and Minocycline in Ordered Mesoporous Silica against Enterococcus faecalis for Dental Pulp Revascularization: An In-Vitro Study. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15062266.

Abstract
Pulp revascularization of teeth with necrotic pulp has become an alternative treatment in cases with immature apex. Microbial control is essential to achieve a successful outcome and continued root development. Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) is the most frequently isolated bacterial species in root canals of endodontically failed teeth. Our main goal was to compare the in-vitro antimicrobial efficacy of different antibiotic formulations delivered by ordered mesoporous silica (OMS) against E. faecalis. To determine antibiotic susceptibility, we tested OMS and triple antibiotic paste (TAP; ciprofloxacin:metronidazole:minocycline) with different reagents in different concentrations, using the Kirby−Bauer disk diffusion method. OMS and metronidazole showed no antibacterial activity against E. faecalis. Mixtures of OMS and antibiotics in proportions of 2:2:14 and 4:1:7 (mg/L of ciprofloxacin:metronidazole:minocycline, respectively) showed the lowest antibacterial activity. The antibacterial activity of the combined solutions of ciprofloxacin and metronidazole was significantly higher (p < 0.005). Combinations in different concentrations of minocycline, ciprofloxacin, and metronidazole in OMS have shown activity against E. faecalis, although the combined use of ciprofloxacin and metronidazole has shown the most effective results. This study demonstrates the efficacy of intracanal antibiotic combination paste activity against E. faecalis, avoiding the use of minocycline, whose undesirable effect of teeth staining is a common problem for patients and professionals in dental clinic.

Abstract
Regenerative endodontic procedures have been described for over a decade as a paradigm shift in the treatment of immature necrotic permanent teeth, owing to their ability to allow root maturation with subsequent enhancement of the tooth’s fracture resistance in addition to the potential for regeneration of vital intracanal tissues. Concomitantly, minimally invasive endodontics is another rising concept with the main concern of preservation of tooth structure. Stemming from their potential to preserve the original tooth structure, both regenerative and minimally invasive endodontics could be considered as two revolutionary sciences with one common goal. Achieving this goal would entail not only employing the appropriate strategies to recreate the ideal regenerative niche but modifying existing concepts and protocols currently being implemented in regenerative endodontics to address two important challenges affecting the outcome of these procedures; conservation of tooth structure and achieving effective disinfection. Therefore, the search for new biomimetic cell-friendly disinfecting agents and strategies is crucial if such a novel integratory concept is to be foreseen in the future. This could be attainable by advocating a new merged concept of “minimally invasive regenerative endodontic procedures (MIREPs),” through modifying the clinical protocol of REPs by incorporating a minimally invasive access cavity design/preparation and biomimetic disinfection protocol, which could enhance clinical treatment outcomes and in the future; allow for personalized disinfection/regeneration protocols to further optimize the outcomes of MIREPs. In this review, we aim to introduce this new concept, its realization and challenges along with future perspectives for clinical implementation.

Abstract
After dental trauma to immature permanent teeth (IPT), there can be pulpitis, necrotic, and periapical periodontitis, which will halt further root development. Traditional endodontic root canal treatments and apexification cannot revitalize the necrotic pulp to revitalize the tooth to promote further root development. As a consequence, IPT with thin dentinal walls can be prone to fracture and if a fracture occurs, the patient will likely suffer the loss of the tooth. In an attempt to save IPT, there has been a growing interest among dentists to use regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) to revitalize a replace dental pulp to continue root development and strengthen the dentinal walls to help prevent a subsequent loss of the tooth. However, the effectiveness of REPs and the precise methods to successfully accomplish REPs are controversial. Therefore, the objective of this review is to compare the different approaches to REPs in case reports by highlighting their advantages and limitations.

Abstract
Immediate implant placement is a single-stage restorative approach for missing teeth widely used to overcome the ridge remodeling process occurring after dental extractions. The success of this procedure relies on opportune osseointegration in the surrounding tissues. To support this process, a multifunctional nanocomposite, to be applied in the fresh post-extraction socket, was here designed, prepared, and characterized. This formulation consists of quercetin (QRC)-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) entrapped in a chitosan-based solid matrix containing ciprofloxacin (CPX). QRC-NLCs were prepared by homogenization followed by high-frequency sonication, and thereafter this dispersion was trapped in a chitosan-based CPX-loaded gel, obtaining the nanocomposite powder (BioQ-CPX) by lyophilization. BioQ-CPX displayed desirable properties such as high porosity (94.1 ± 0.5%), drug amounts (2.1% QRC and 3.5% CPX). and low swelling index (100%). Moreover, the mechanism of drug release from BioQ-CPX and their ability to be accumulated in the target tissue were in vitro and ex vivo elucidated, also by applying mathematical models. When trapped into the nanocomposite, QRC stressed under UV light exposure (50 W) was shown to maintain its antioxidant power, and CPX and QRC under natural light were stable over nine months. Finally, both the measured antioxidant power and the antimicrobial and antibiofilm properties on Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated that BioQ-CPX could be a promising platform to support the single-stage dental restorative treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Macrophages regulate the processes of inflammation and tissue regeneration/repair through their plasticity and phenotypes of different activation states. Previous studies have shown that disinfection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-contaminated dentin with photoactivated rose bengal-functionalized chitosan nanoparticles (CSRBnps) in vivo supported neotissue formation without signs of inflammation and root resorption. The aim of this study was to understand the mechanism underlying CSRBnp-guided attenuation of inflammation in LPS-contaminated dentin using macrophage polarization as an indicator of inflammation and repair. METHODS To quantify the polarized macrophage populations, M1/M2-specific surface markers CD68, CD80, and CD206 and transcriptional factors signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 1, STAT3, and STAT6 were determined using immunohistochemistry among previously obtained root specimens implanted into mandibles of guinea pigs for 4 weeks. In group 1, the canals were not inoculated; in group 2, the canals were inoculated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa LPS; in group 3, the canals were inoculated and disinfected with sodium hypochlorite; in group 4, the canals were inoculated and disinfected with sodium hypochlorite and calcium hydroxide; and in group 5, the canals were inoculated and disinfected with sodium hypochlorite, and CSRBnps (300 μg/mL) with photoactivation (λ = 540 nm, 40 J/cm2) were analyzed. RESULTS An increased expression of M2-specific markers was observed in the group treated with CSRBnps compared with the groups treated with either conventional or no root canal disinfection. A statistically significant population of macrophages expressing both M1- and M2-specific markers was observed in all the tested groups. CONCLUSIONS Disinfection of LPS-contaminated dentin with CSRBnps demonstrated M2-type polarization of macrophages, which corresponded to repair and neotissue formation.

Abstract
In dentistry, the use of biomaterial-based drug delivery systems (DDS) aiming the release of the active compounds directly to the site of action is slowly getting more awareness among the scientific and medical community. Emerging technologies including nanotechnological platforms are offering novel approaches, but the majority are still in the proof-of-concept stage. This study critically reviews the potential use of DDS in anesthesiology, oral diseases, cariology, restorative dentistry, periodontics, endodontics, implantology, fixed and removable prosthodontics, and orthodontics with a special focus on infections. It also stresses the gaps and challenges faced. Despite numerous clinical and pharmacological advantages, some disadvantages of DDS pose an obstacle to their widespread use. The biomaterial's biofunctionality may be affected when the drug is incorporated and may cause an additional risk of toxicity. Also, the release of sub-therapeutic levels of drugs such as antibiotics may lead to microbial resistance. Multiple available techniques for the manufacture of DDS may affect drug release profiles and their bioavailability. If the benefits outweigh the costs, DDS may be potentially used to prevent or treat oral pathologies as an alternative to conventional strategies. A case-by-case approach must be followed.

Abstract
Vital pulp therapy (VPT) is deliberated as an ultraconservative/minimally invasive approach for the conservation of vital pulpal tissues, preservation of dental structure, and maintenance of tooth function in the oral cavity. In VPT, following the exposure of the dental pulp, the environment is prepared for the possible healing and probable refunctionalisation of pulpal connective tissue. However, to succeed in VPT, specific biomaterials are used to cover and/or dress the exposed pulp, lower the inflammation, heal the dental pulp, provoke the remaining odontoblastic cells, and induce the formation of a hard tissue, i.e., the dentinal bridge. It can be assumed that if the employed biomaterial is transferred to the target site using a specially designed micro-/nanosized local drug delivery system (LDDS), the biomaterial would be placed in closer proximity to the connective tissue, may be released in a controlled and sustained pattern, could properly conserve the remaining dental pulp and might appropriately enhance hard-tissue formation. Furthermore, the loaded LDDS could help VPT modalities to be more ultraconservative and may minimise the manipulation of the tooth structure as well as pulpal tissue, which could, in turn, result in better VPT outcomes.

Abstract
This work aimed to investigate the use of Regenerative Endodontic Procedures (REP) on the treatment of pulp necrosis in mature teeth through systematic review and meta-analysis of evidence on clinical and radiographic parameters before and after REP. A search was performed in different databases on 9 September 2020, including seven clinical studies and randomized controlled trials (RCT). The methodological quality was assessed using Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias (RoB 2) and Before-and-After tools. Meta-analyses were performed to evaluate the success incidences regarding the reduction of periapical lesion and recovery of sensitivity. The certainty of the evidence was assessed using GRADE. Meta-analysis showed a high overall success of 0.95 (0.92, 0.98) I2 = 6%, with high periapical lesion reduction at 12 months (0.93 (0.86, 0.96) I2 = 37%) and by the end of follow-up (0.91 (0.83, 0.96) I2 = 13%). Lower incidences of positive sensitivity response were identified for the electrical (0.58 (0.46, 0.70) I2 = 51%) and cold tests (0.70 (0.54, 0.84) I2 = 68%). The calculated levels of REP success were similar to those reported for immature teeth. With a very low certainty of evidence, the meta-analysis showed a high incidence of REP’s success for mature teeth with necrotic pulp evidenced by periapical lesion reduction and moderate positive responses to sensitivity tests.

Antibacterial Efficacy of Triple Antibiotic Medication With Macrogol (3Mix-MP), Traditional Triple Antibiotic Paste, Calcium Hydroxide, and Ethanol Extract of Propolis: An Intratubular Dentin Ex Vivo Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopic Study. J Endod 2021; 47:1609-1616. [PMID: 34310981 DOI: 10.1016/j.joen.2021.07.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2021] [Revised: 07/05/2021] [Accepted: 07/16/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of antibacterial activity of medications used in regenerative endodontic treatment. METHODS Sixty-seven dentin cylinders of single-rooted teeth were contaminated with a culture of Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 29212; American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA) for 5 days. Samples were divided into 1 control group and the following experimental groups according to the medication applied: traditional triple antibiotic paste (TAP), clindamycin-modified TAP (mTAP), triple antibiotic medication with macrogol (3Mix-MP), clindamycin-modified 3Mix-MP (m3Mix-MP), calcium hydroxide (CH), and ethanol extract of propolis (EEP). After 14 days, the medications were removed, and the samples were submitted to confocal laser scanning microscopic analysis to quantify the percentage of viable bacteria. The distribution of data was confirmed by the Shapiro-Wilk test. The Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests were used for intergroup comparisons, and the Wilcoxon test was used for comparison between superficial and deep antibacterial efficacy for the same medication. The level of significance was set at P < .05. RESULTS 3Mix-MP and m3Mix-MP presented significantly higher antibacterial efficacy compared with the other tested medications (P < .05), except for mTAP. mTAP was more effective than TAP (P < .05). The antibacterial efficacy of EEP and CH did not differ significantly from TAP and mTAP (P > .05). All medications showed effective antibacterial action compared with the control group (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS 3Mix-MP and m3Mix-MP, which present extremely high concentrations of antibiotics (1500 mg/mL), were not more effective than mTAP at the concentration recommended by the American Association of Endodontists (5 mg/mL). Moreover, CH and EEP were as effective as TAP and mTAP.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to compare the antibiofilm effects of a triple antibiotic solution (TAS); a double antibiotic solution (DAS); and 5%, 2.5%, and 1.25% diclofenac solutions (DCSs) against Enteroccocus faecalis biofilm. METHODS Eighty-four sterile radicular dentin blocks were used as biofilm substrate for 3 weeks. The study groups were as follows: (1) 1 mg/mL TAS (minocycline, metronidazole, and ciprofloxacin), (2) 1 mg/mL DAS (metronidazole and ciprofloxacin), (3) 5% DCS, (4) 2.5% DCS, (5) 1.25% DCS, and (6) 0.9% saline solution. The antimicrobial activity was evaluated by bacterial count determinations and confocal laser scanning microscopy. The contact time for the antimicrobial tests was 5 minutes. Bacterial counts were expressed as the reduction percentage of colony-forming units; for the confocal laser scanning microscopic evaluation, the log10 total biovolume and percentage of green population (live cells) were calculated. RESULTS The colony-forming unit reduction percentage ranged between 62.98 and 98.62, respectively, for TAS and 5% DCS. The DCS showed a concentration-dependent effect.For the confocal laser scanning microscopy, the log10 total biovolume in all groups was very similar and showed a scarce (1.39-1.02) but significant reduction with respect to the control; 5% and 2.5% DCSs gave the lowest viable cell percentage. The TAS and DAS groups showed intermediate values without significant differences between them. CONCLUSIONS DCSs at 5% and 2.5% have greater antimicrobial effects than TAS and DAS and may be considered a valid alternative for controlling the infection of teeth with apical periodontitis.

Abstract
Root canal disinfection is of utmost importance in the success of the treatment, thus, a novel method for achieving root canal disinfection by electromagnetic waves, creating a synergistic reaction via electric and thermal energy, was created. To study electromagnetic stimulation (EMS) for the disinfection of root canal in vitro, single rooted teeth were instrumented with a 45.05 Wave One Gold reciprocating file. Specimens were sterilized and inoculated with Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29,212, which grew for 15 days to form an established biofilm. Samples were treated with 6% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 1.5% NaOCl 1.5% NaOCl with EMS, 0.9% saline with EMS or 0.9% saline. After treatments, the colony forming units (CFU) was determined. Data was analyzed by Wilcoxon Rank Sums Test (α = 0.05). One sample per group was scored and split for confocal laser scanning microscopy imaging. There was a significant effect with the use of NaOCl with or without EMS versus 0.9% saline with or without EMS (p = 0.012 and 0.003, respectively). CFUs were lower when using 0.9% saline with EMS versus 0.9% saline alone (p = 0.002). Confocal imaging confirmed CFU findings. EMS with saline has an antibiofilm effect against E. faecalis and can potentially be applied for endodontic disinfection.

Abstract
Background: Regenerative endodontics is a rapidly developing field in dentistry. However, the regenerative endodontic procedures are not familiar to many clinicians in India. Aim: This survey aimed at assessing the level of knowledge, attitude, and perception (KAP) among endodontists toward regenerative endodontics. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in the year 2019 to collect data. A questionnaire to collect data on KAP toward regenerative endodontics was administered to 49 faculty and 69 postgraduate students of endodontics from four universities. The Chi-Square test and logistic regression were applied to study the association between KAP and demographic variables. Spearman's rho was computed to study the correlation between KAP scale scores of the participants. The data were analyzed by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software program (SPSS), version 15.0 (South Asia, Bangalore). Results: The survey yielded an overall response rate of 81%. Less than 50% of the participants had sound knowledge, 65% had a positive attitude, and only 21% had a positive perception about Regenerative Endodontic Procedures (REPs). Most of the participants (86.5%) were of the opinion that regenerative therapies should be a part of dentistry. Majority of the participants (89.6%) were inclined to receive training in REPs. About 80% of the participants felt that the higher cost of treatment is a significant hurdle for patients to accept REPs. Less than half the participants (41.7%) were using REPs in their clinical practice, such as the use of membranes, scaffolds, and revascularization. Conclusion: Endodontists have a positive attitude toward the use of regenerative therapies. However, there is a deficiency of training in REPs in dental colleges.

Abstract
This report describes the second attempt at pulp revascularisation, using an association between 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) and calcium hydroxide (CH) as intracanal dressing, in an immature traumatised anterior tooth with pulp necrosis. A 21-year-old woman complained of pain and dental crown darkening of a permanent maxillary right central incisor. Her medical records presented a history of dental trauma, and at age 15, the first attempt at revascularisation was performed, using triple antibiotic paste (TAP) as the intracanal dressing. Recent radiographs then showed a periapical lesion associated with an immature root, which demonstrated the failure of the first attempt. The second pulp revascularisation was performed, using an association between CHX and CH as intracanal medication. The case was followed up for 24 months. Observations showed evidence of root development, dentinal wall thickening and periapical healing. In this case, the association between CHX and CH showed favourable results as an intracanal medication.

Abstract
PURPOSE To collect long-term survival data in anterior traumatised teeth on the outcome of Regenerative Endodontic Treatments (RET) with a network of dentists working in different clinics to overcome the problem of anecdotical evidence. METHODS The seven dentists from Paediatric REsearch Project (PREP) performed RET treatments following the same protocol in five different secondary dental care clinics in the Netherlands. Treatment resulting in pain, apical problems, sinus tracts, resorption or fracture were considered as failure of treatment. RESULTS 47 teeth in 38 children were treated between January 2009 and September 2017 and had at least 6 month follow-up (mean 35 months). Apical closure was seen in 27 teeth (25 cases) and root length growth in 6 teeth (6 cases). Thickening of the root walls was seen in 20 teeth (20 cases) and obliteration of the root canal in 30 teeth (25 cases). Of 38 teeth with apical inflammation at the start of treatment, no radiographic sign of apical inflammation was visible at 3 months in 13 of 28 teeth; taking up to 42 months for radiographic signs of apical inflammation to be not visible. Nineteen of 35 teeth showed discoloration at the beginning of treatment. After 18 months two teeth showed signs of ankylosis, but were still functional. After 36 months one more tooth showed signs of new apical inflammation and 2 months later it was extracted. CONCLUSIONS With three failures in 47 treated teeth, RET seems to be a promising treatment for difficult to treat anterior traumatised teeth with an open apex.

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
Introduction Responses of oral-microflora-exposed dental pulp to a triple antibiotic paste (TAP), a mixture of ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, and minocycline in ointment with macrogol and propylene glycol, remain to be fully clarified at the cellular level. This study aimed to elucidate responses of oral-microflora-exposed dental pulp to capping with TAP in mouse molars. Methods A cavity was prepared on the first molars of 6-week-old mice to expose the dental pulp for 24 h. The exposed pulp was capped with TAP (TAP group) or calcium hydroxide cement (CH group), in addition to the combination of macrogol (M) and propylene glycol (P) (MP, control group), followed by a glass ionomer cement filling. The samples were collected at intervals of 1, 2, and 3 weeks, and immunohistochemistry for nestin and Ki-67 and deoxyuride-5′-triphosphate biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay were performed in addition to quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analyses. Results The highest occurrence rate of pulp necrosis was found in the control group followed by the CH group at Weeks 2 and 3, whereas the highest occurrence rate of healed areas in the dental pulp was observed in the TAP group at each time point. Tertiary dentin formation was first observed in the dental pulp of the TAP group at Week 2. In contrast, bone-like and/or fibrous tissues were frequently observed in the CH group. qRT-PCR analyses clarified that TAP activated the stem and dendritic cells at Weeks 1 and 2, respectively. Conclusions The use of TAP as a pulp-capping agent improved the healing process of oral-microflora-exposed dental pulp in mouse molars. We established a mouse model to evaluate the pulpal responses to capping materials. TAP induced odontoblast-like cell differentiation faster than calcium hydroxide. Tertiary dentin was predominantly seen at the exposure site in the TAP group. TAC-P tends to activate dental pulp stem cells earlier than calcium hydroxide. TAP favored the repair process of the oral-microflora-exposed pulpal tissue.

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
Regenerative endodontics is a biologically based treatment designed for immature permanent teeth with necrotic pulp to replace dentin and root structures, as well as dental pulp cells. This procedure has become a part of novel modality in endodontics therapeutic manner, and it is considered as an alternative to apexification. In the last decade, numerous case reports, which describe this procedure, have been published. This therapeutic approach succeeded due to its lower financial cost and ease of performance. Although the clinical protocol of this procedure is not standardized and the effects of irrigants and medicaments on dental stem cells fate remain somewhat ambiguous, however when successful, it is an improvement of endodontics treatment protocols which leads to continued root development, increased dentinal wall thickness, and apical closure of immature teeth. To ensure a successful regenerative procedure, it is essential to investigate the appropriate disinfection protocols and the use of biocompatible molecules in order to control the release of growth factors and the differentiation of stem cells. This is the first review in the literature to summarize the present knowledge regarding the effect of intracanal irrigants and medicaments on the dental derived stem cells fate in regenerative endodontic procedures.

Abstract
Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) was used to evaluate the antibacterial effect and depth of action of a novel clarithromycin-containing triple antibiotic mixture, which was proposed for root canal disinfection in dental pulp regeneration. A previous study reported that this mixture had no tooth discoloration effects in vitro. After infection with Enterococcus faecalis for 3 weeks, the dentinal tubules in the cylindrical root specimens were exposed to different antibiotic mixtures: ciprofloxacin, metronidazole and minocycline (3-MIX); ciprofloxacin, metronidazole and clarithromycin (3-MIXC) and ciprofloxacin and metronidazole (2-MIX). Each antibiotic formulation was mixed with macrogol (MG) or hyaluronic acid (HA) vehicles. CLSM and viability staining were used to quantitatively analyze the mean depth of the antibacterial effect and the proportions of dead and live bacteria inside the dentinal tubules. The 3-MIX and 3-MIXC demonstrated a similar depth of action. The mean proportion of dead bacteria was similar in the 3-MIX and 3-MIXC groups, and both were statistically higher than that of 2-MIX (p = 0.014). Each antibiotic mixture showed a higher bactericidal efficacy if conveyed with HA, compared to MG (3-MIX, p = 0.019; 3-MIXC, p = 0.013 and 2-MIX, p = 0.0125). The depth of action and the antibacterial efficacy of 3-MIXC seemed comparable with 3-MIX.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to assess the influence of antibiotic formulations (tablet/capsule [TC] or United States Pharmacopeia [USP]-grade antibiotics) and vehicles (water [H2O] or macrogol + propylene glycol [MP]) on the cytotoxicity and pH of triple antibiotic pastes (TAPs). METHODS L929 fibroblasts were exposed to TAPs prepared with TC or USP-grade antibiotics mixed with H2O or MP for 72 hours. Each isolated antibiotic with each vehicle, each isolated vehicle, and the culture medium were used as controls. Cytotoxicity was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide and neutral red assays. The pH was measured after 3 and 8 hours of immersion of the pastes in water. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance, the Bonferroni or Tukey posttests (α = 0.05), and the Pearson correlation test (α = 0.05). RESULTS The pastes prepared with TC were less cytotoxic than pastes prepared with USP-grade antibiotics (P < .05), and pastes with the MP vehicle were less cytotoxic than pastes with H2O (P < .05). TC TAP + MP showed the lowest cytotoxicity, whereas USP-grade TAP + H2O showed the highest cytotoxicity (P < .05). All TAPs showed a pH ranging from 4.64-5.20. Irrespective of the vehicle, USP-grade TAP showed a lower pH than TC TAP (P < .05). TAPs with H2O had a lower pH than TAPs with MP (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS The vehicle and the antibiotic formulations influenced the cytotoxicity and pH of TAP. The pastes prepared with TC and MP were less acidic and less cytotoxic than the type prepared with USP-grade antibiotics and H2O.
