Summary: This study aimed to compare the outcomes of complete pulpotomy (CP) and partial pulpotomy (PP) techniques for the management of mature permanent teeth with carious pulpal exposure and symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (SIP). The results showed that both CP and PP resulted in favorable outcomes for treating this condition. CP may be a more conservative approach and can be considered as the first choice for treatment.

Summary: This network meta-analysis compared the efficacy of different medicaments and techniques for pulpotomy of molar teeth. The results showed that calcium hydroxide was inferior to other options, while mineral trioxide aggregate and biodentine were superior to formocresol, ferric sulfate, and sodium hypochlorite in terms of clinical and radiographic success rates. The ranking probabilities indicated that mineral trioxide aggregate was the optimal choice in most outcomes. Therefore, mineral trioxide aggregate is recommended for pulpotomy due to its significant improvement in clinical and radiographic success.

Summary: This study found a significant association between the concentration of aMMP-9 in pulpal blood and the outcome of pulpotomy in teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis, suggesting it may serve as a potential prognostic biomarker. The area under the receiver operating characteristics curve indicated excellent discriminatory power of aMMP-9 concentration in predicting the pulpotomy outcome.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis show that pulpotomy is a highly effective treatment for managing permanent teeth. The results indicate that the success rate of pulpotomy using ProRoot MTA is significantly higher than when using calcium hydroxide. However, the certainty of evidence supporting these findings is low, and there is a need for well-designed RCTs to assess the long-term outcomes of pulpotomy using newer bioceramic materials.

Summary: This retrospective study focused on the 12-month pulp sensibility test response after MTA full pulpotomy in mature permanent teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. The results showed that a majority of teeth responded to the electric pulp test, while only a few responded to the cold test. Factors such as gender, quadrant, tooth type, and restoration location did not influence the response to the tests.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) pulp capping for caries-exposed permanent teeth in children. The meta-analysis results showed that MTA pulpotomy was superior to calcium hydroxide (CH) treatment, and the condition of apical opening and surgical type were found to influence the success rate.

Summary: The study compared dimensional alterations of dental arches in children with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate before and after different techniques of primary plastic surgeries. Results showed that cheiloplasty and one-stage palatoplasty resulted in smaller growth of maxilla compared to cheiloplasty and two-stage palatoplasty in terms of linear measurements (T-T' and I-CC') and total area of the dental arches.

Summary: This study aimed to develop a new pulp capping multilayer membrane with chitosan and evaluated its physicochemical and biological properties. The membranes showed satisfactory properties including alkaline pH, calcium release, and high radiopacity, with good cytocompatibility demonstrated in vitro. Further in vivo and clinical studies are needed to confirm the suitability of these membranes for human teeth applications.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge of different dental professionals' profiles in Brazil on diagnosing and indicating pulpotomy in primary teeth and how these groups updated on this theme. The study found that professors and specialists paid more attention to updates on this subject, while other professionals were more interested in social media updates. The study also found that professionals directly involved in pediatric dentistry had more capability to diagnose and treat cases of pulpotomy.

Summary: This narrative review provides a feature on the three-dimensional tools available for the assessment of dental arches in children with orofacial cleft and mixed dentition. It concludes that digital tools, such as benchtop scanners, are reproducible and reliable in evaluating the dental arches of cleft lip, palate, and mixed dentition patients. These tools also allow sustainable storage and manipulation without the use of ionizing radiation, contributing to environmental preservation.

Summary: This study compared the morphometry of the edentulous palate in children with CZS, UCL, and without craniofacial anomalies. The results showed that the CZS group had smaller intercanine distance and area, but greater dental arch length compared to the other groups. The UCL group had parameters similar to those of the control group.

Summary: This study aimed to identify and characterize online oral health misinformation. The study found that misinformation mainly focused on gum diseases, root canal treatment, toothache, fluoride, and dental caries. This misinformation was predominantly produced or disseminated by dental professionals, linked to alternative/natural treatments, and motivated by financial interests. It was primarily spread on Facebook and Instagram, with limited knowledge about its dissemination by fact-checking agencies.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of cleft width on dental arch symmetry in children with unilateral cleft lip and palate. Digital dental casts of 41 children were analyzed, and cleft palate width and various measurements were obtained. The results showed that cleft width influenced palatal asymmetry, with the anterior and middle cleft widths impacting asymmetry in early life and the middle width impacting residual asymmetry. The findings suggest the importance of considering cleft width in the assessment and treatment of children with cleft lip and palate.

Summary: This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the effects of propolis on the severity of coronavirus disease symptoms by reducing periodontal disease. The study showed that propolis components have antiviral activity and can improve periodontal health. The antibacterial activity of propolis could be mediated through its direct action on microorganisms or the stimulation of the immune system. Therefore, propolis inhibits the replication of SARS-CoV-2 and improves general health by activating the immune system against coronavirus.

Summary: This study compared the use of manual and rotary files in pediatric dentistry. The results showed that the rotary system had a shorter instrumentation time compared to manual files, but both methods had similar filling quality and clinical and radiographic outcomes over a 12-month period. Additionally, the retention of restorations was found to be related to treatment prognosis.
