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 aim of this study was to compare and evaluate the clinical and radiographic performance, post-operative pain, and anti-inflammatory intake after partial pulpotomy with different pulp capping agents. The results showed that there was a significant difference in post-operative pain and anti-inflammatory medication intake after partial pulpotomy with Emdogain compared to other three capping agents. However, there was no difference in both clinical and radiographic performances among the four capping agents.

Summary: This study compared the coronal discoloration at 6 and 12 months after full pulpotomy in mature permanent molars using MTA, Biodentine, and TotalFill, and found that Biodentine and TotalFill resulted in less discoloration compared to MTA. Additionally, the remaining buccal wall thickness had a significant effect on the degree of discoloration.

Summary: The umbrella review found that partial pulpotomy and full pulpotomy had higher success rates compared to direct pulp capping in carious pulp-exposed permanent human teeth, with conflicting results for prognostic factors. Factors such as restorative material, age, and study type seemed to have minimal impact on treatment outcomes.

Summary: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of different materials on the treatment of permanent immature molars with incomplete root development. The results showed that calcium-silicate based cement, nano-hydroxyapatite, and platelet-rich fibrin had similar success rates. However, platelet-rich fibrin may be considered the preferred material as it is easier to retreat.

Summary: This study investigated the survival probability of permanent first molars (PFMs) after coronal pulpotomy (CP) using two outcome definitions: success-focused and functional survival-focused. The study also identified factors influencing tooth survival. The results showed that CP using calcium silicate-based cements (CSCs) has long-term survival potential as an alternative treatment for cariously exposed PFMs in children. Factors such as proximal lesions and resin composite restorations were found to increase the failure risk.

Summary: Pulpotomy is an effective treatment for permanent teeth with irreversible pulpitis. Symptomatology, root apex development, and type of biomaterial are significant predictors for treatment success. This meta-analysis is the first study to evaluate the clinical outcome of pulpotomy for carious teeth with irreversible pulpitis, identifying the stage of root development and type of biomaterial as predictors for treatment success.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the success rates of pulpotomy with calcium hydroxide and biostimulation compared to other techniques in primary molars. Results showed that CH + PBMT had advantages in clinical and radiographic success rates, performing similarly to MTA and FC in clinical success but lower than MTA and FC in radiographic success.

Summary: The study aimed to assess whether fabricating metal-ceramic crowns with controlled interocclusal relief could reduce occlusion and adjustment time. Results showed that crowns with 2-shim spacing had the best outcome and required less adjustment time compared to conventional occlusal contact crowns.

Summary: This study evaluated the bacterial community composition in caries-active and caries-free children using next generation sequencing techniques. While diversity indices did not find differences between the groups, comparative analysis at the species level revealed specific bacteria that were significantly more abundant in caries-active children. The predominance of certain species in caries-free children warrants further research into their potential role in a health-associated microbial community.

Summary: This study compared the salivary fluoride concentrations of different fluoride formulations in adults after toothbrushing with or without rinsing. The results showed that rinsing after toothbrushing is not recommended when using toothpaste with sodium monofluorophosphate. Amine fluoride resulted in significantly higher saliva fluoride concentration at 90 minutes compared to other fluoride toothpaste formulations, regardless of rinsing.

Summary: This study evaluated the use of digital bitewing radiographs with PSP plates in estimating the true extension of proximal carious lesions. The study found that the clinical extension of proximal caries after non-selective caries removal was significantly deeper than the preoperative radiographic extension assessment. This finding was consistent across different types of teeth, locations, and affected tooth surfaces.

Summary: The aim of this study was to compare the antibacterial effect of different fluoride-containing and bioactive restorative materials, and their effect on the expression of specific biofilm-associated genes and therefore the caries process. The results showed that both fluoride-releasing and bioactive materials exhibited significant inhibitory effects on biofilm growth and downregulated the expression of targeted biofilm-associated genes. These findings have clinical significance in reducing the chances of secondary caries and increasing the lifetime of dental restorations for patients.

Summary: The study compared the bacteria debridement efficacy of the first and second generations of sonic root canal irrigant activation systems. The results showed that activation of 2% NaOCl with either EndoActivator or SmartLite Pro EndoActivator significantly reduced the overall intracanal bacterial load compared to syringe-side-vented needle delivery. However, delivering 2% NaOCl for 5 minutes using the syringe-side-vented needle produced better bacteria debridement than either sonic agitation system.

Summary: The study compares the experience of patients seen using teledentistry with traditional Orofacial Pain and TMD visits. Results indicated a borderline difference in effectively using teledentistry for follow-ups among different age groups, but no significant differences were found in patients' experience between virtual and conventional visits. This suggests that high-quality dental care services can be provided remotely without adversely affecting patient experience or quality of care.

Summary: This study characterized the surface topography and evaluated the biological responses of various cells to a novel 3D-printed dental implant. The surface of the implant showed a highly interconnected porous architecture and roughness, leading to good adhesion and growth of human oral osteoblasts, gingival fibroblasts, mesenchymal stem cells, and monocytes. These findings suggest that this 3D-printed implant has excellent potential for clinical applications.
