Treatment Outcome of Regenerative Endodontic Procedures for Necrotic Immature and Mature Permanent Teeth: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Based on Randomised Controlled Trials.

To analyse whether the stage of apical development affects the effectiveness of regenerative endodontic treatment by comparing the outcomes for necrotic mature and immature permanent teeth treated with regenerative endodontic procedures. Multiple databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, EMBASE and OpenGrey databases) were searched through February 17th, 2022. Inclusion criteria were randomised controlled trials that included treatment of necrotic immature or mature permanent teeth using any regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) that aimed to achieve pulp revascularisation or regeneration. The Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.0 tool was used to assess risk of bias. The included indicators were asymptomatic sign, success, pulp sensitivity, and discolouration. The extracted data were expressed by percentage for statistical analysis. The random effect model was used to explain the results. Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Version 2 was used to perform the statistical analyses. Twenty-seven RCTs were eligible for inclusion in the meta-analysis. The success rates of necrotic immature and mature permanent teeth were 95.6% (95% CI, 92.4%-97.5%; I2=34.9%) and 95.5% (95%CI, 87.9%-98.4%; I2=0%), respectively. The asymptomatic rates of necrotic immature and mature permanent teeth were 96.2% (95%CI, 93.5%-97.9%; I2=30.1%) and 97.0% (95%CI, 92.6%-98.8%; I2=0%), respectively. The treatment of immature and mature necrotic permanent teeth with REPs yields high success rates and low symptomatic rates. The incidence of positive sensitivity response for electric pulp testing in necrotic immature permanent teeth (25.2% [95% CI, 18.2%-33.8%; I2=0%]) was lower than that in necrotic mature permanent teeth (45.4% [95% CI, 27.2%-64.8%; I2=75.2%]), and this difference was statistically significant. The restoration of pulp sensitivity seems to be more evident in necrotic mature permanent teeth than in necrotic immature permanent teeth. The crown discolouration rate of immature permanent teeth was 62.5% (95% CI, 49.7%-73.8%; I2=76.1%). Necrotic immature permanent teeth have a considerable crown discolouration rate. REPs for both immature and mature necrotic permanent teeth yield high success rates and promote root development. The vitality responses seem to be more evident in necrotic mature permanent teeth than in necrotic immature permanent teeth.

Clinical and radiographic evaluation of NeoMTA versus conventional white mineral trioxide aggregate in revascularization of non-vital immature permanent anterior teeth (A randomized controlled trial)

ObjectiveTo evaluate and compare clinically and radiographically the effect of using two different coronal plug materials (NeoMTA versus Conventional White mineral trioxide aggregate) in revascularization of non-vital immature permanent anterior teeth, with special reference to the assessment and evaluation of discoloration potential over a period of one year.MethodsRevascularization procedure was performed in (30) immature permanent non-vital anterior teeth which were randomly allocated to two equal groups (n = 15). NeoMTA was used as coronal plug material in the Experimental Group (N), while conventional White mineral trioxide aggregate (WMTA) was used as a coronal plug material in the Control Group (W). All treated teeth were evaluated clinically at 1 week, 1, 3, and 12 months and radiographically at 12 months.ResultsThe overall clinical and radiographic success rate of Groups (N) and (W) at the end of the 12-month follow-up period was 100%. The discoloration was detected in a single tooth (9.1%) in Group (N) and three teeth (27.3%) in Group (W) but the difference between groups was not statistically significant.ConclusionsBoth NeoMTA and conventional WMTA were successful coronal plug materials in the revascularization of non-vital immature permanent teeth achieving a high level of clinical and radiographic success. NeoMTA is a promising coronal plug material that can be used for revascularization procedures in the esthetic zone as it showed less discoloration potential compared with conventional WMTA, however, there was no statistically significant difference between both materials.

Effect of radiation therapy on fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth submitted to root reinforcement.

The literature is scanty regarding the effect of radiation therapy (RT) on the mechanical properties of immature permanent teeth. To evaluate the effect of RT on the fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth submitted to different types of root reinforcement. Sixty-four human teeth simulating the Cvek stage 3 of root development were distributed into eight groups (n = 8), according to exposure or not to RT (70 Gy) and the root reinforcement method: Group NR (control)-no reinforcement/no RT; Group NR + RT (control)-no reinforcement/RT; Group PO-tricalcium silicate-based cement (TS) apical plug/canal obturation/no RT; Group PO + RT-TS apical plug/canal obturation/RT; Group TS-canal filling with TS/no RT; Group TS + RT-canal filling with TS/RT; Group FP-TS apical plug/fibreglass post/no RT; and Group FP + RT-TS apical plug/fibreglass post/RT. Fracture resistance was determined using a universal testing machine (0.5 mm/min). In the intergroup comparison, nonirradiated teeth had higher fracture resistance (p < .05). Groups FP and FP + RT had higher fracture resistance (p < .001). Radiotherapy affected the fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth. Reinforcement with fibreglass posts increased the fracture resistance, regardless of the radiation.

Is Revascularization the Treatment of Choice for Traumatized Necrotic Immature Teeth? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) has been considered a reliable procedure to treat immature necrotic teeth; however, the effect of dental trauma on the prognosis of RET is questionable. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the current level of evidence for revascularization techniques (the RET) in the management of traumatized necrotic immature permanent teeth with or without periapical radiolucent areas. Four electronic databases-PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase-were searched until November 2022. Only randomized clinical trials, cohort studies, and case-control studies with a minimum of 10 cases and 12 months of follow-ups were included. The search identified 363 preliminary results. After discarding the duplicates and screening the titles, abstracts, and full texts, 13 articles were considered eligible. The results showed that RET techniques seemed to have high survival and success rates, 93.8% and 88.3%, respectively, in the treatment of traumatized necrotic immature permanent teeth. Root maturation with RET techniques seemed to be lower in traumatized teeth. Future studies are needed to evaluate root maturation in traumatized teeth using 3-dimensional radiographic evaluations. In addition, the lack of literature on the studies comparing RET and apexification (calcium hydroxide or an MTA) in the treatment of traumatized necrotic immature teeth highlights the necessity for high-level clinical studies comparing these treatment modalities.

Effects of Apical Barriers and Root Filling Materials on Stress Distribution in Immature Teeth: Finite Element Analysis Study

PurposeA finite element analysis (FEA) study was performed to determine whether the material of apical barrier used for root apexification and/or the use of canal reinforcement affect the stress distribution in an endodontically treated immature permanent tooth in order to infer in which clinical scenarios a fracture is more likely to occur based on the ultimate tensile strength threshold of dentin. Methods and MaterialsAn extracted human immature mandibular premolar was selected as the reference model and scanned by micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). The digital model was segmented and converted to STL (Standard Tessellation Language) using Simpleware Scan-IP and exported in IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) to Ansys 19. Six experimental models were designed with different combinations of composite, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), and Biodentine (BIO). Using FEA, a static 300 N load at a 135 angle with respect to the axis of the tooth was applied to each model and von Mises stress values (MPa) were measured at the sagittal, apical 8-mm, 5-mm, 2-mm, and 1-mm levels. ResultsIn all regions examined, the control (NT model) had lower stress in the root compared WITH experimental models. At the mid-root level, models with composite, MTA, and BIO reinforcement exhibited lower stresses in the root dentin than those with pulp or gutta-percha. BIO models had equal or greater average von Mises stress values than those of MTA models in all regions. Both, MTA and BIO, caused increases in stress of surrounding root dentin, with BIO causing a greater increase than MTA. ConclusionsStress distribution in immature permanent teeth treated by apexification is affected by the types of materials used. Root dentin's stress was lower when the mid-root canal was reinforced by composite, MTA, or BIO, which provided similar stress reduction to the root dentin. MTA is a more favorable apical barrier material from a mechanical standpoint because it induces less stress on apical root dentin than BIO.

Photobiomodulation Therapy and Pulp-Regenerative Endodontics: A Narrative Review.

Regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) were used to recover the dental pulp's vitality in order to avoid the undesirable outcomes of conventional endodontic treatment and to promote dentinal formation, especially for immature permanent teeth. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) exhibits photobiological and photochemical effects for improving the root canal's environmental conditions by compensating for oxidative stress and increasing the blood supply to implanted stem cells and improving their survival. Basic research has revealed that PBMT can modulate human dental pulp stem cells' (hDPSCs) differentiation, proliferation, and activity, and subsequent tissue activation. However, many unclear points still remain regarding the mechanisms of action induced by PBMT in REPs. Therefore, in this review, we present the applications of laser and PBMT irradiation to the procedures of REPs and in endodontics. In addition, the effects of PBMT on the regenerative processes of hDPSCs are reviewed from biochemical and cytological perspectives on the basis of the available literature. Furthermore, we consider the feasibility of treatment in which PBMT irradiation is applied to stem cells, including dental pulp stem cells, and we discuss research that has reported on its effect.

Delayed Replantation of Avulsed Tooth: A Case Report

This case report presents of delayed replantation of avulsed maxillary central incisor after an extended dry extra-alveolar period. Eight-year-old girl and presented with avulsed maxillary central incisor due to trauma occurring 4 hours earlier. Treatment guidelines for avulsed immature permanent tooth with prolonged extra-oral time was carried out for the teeth and the extra-oral endodontic treatment was completed. After having been repositioned, the teeth were stabilized for 4 weeks and prophylactic antibiotic was prescribed. Clinical and radiographic controls were done after 9 months. During the follow-up periods the tooth reported in the case have remained in a stable, functional position but revealed clinical initial replacement resorption and ankylosis.

Regenerative Endodontics - A Case Report

The usual treatment modalities for an immature permanent tooth that has undergone pulpal necrosis is Apexification using Calcium Hydroxide or MTA. But both these approaches doesnot cause dentinal wall thickening, lengthening and apex maturation and closure. Regenerative Endodontic Procedures ensures that there is regeneration of the pulpal-dentin complex by migration of stem cells into the canal space , and there is thickening and lengthening of canal walls and apex maturation and closure. However the histological evidence of the tissues formed in the pulp canal space shows that there is repair instead of true regeneration. It is expected that with the further research works in this field there will be more modifications in the current procedure.

The management of avulsed immature permanent teeth &amp;amp; primary teeth

It is well known that avulsion among various dental traumas is difficult to treat and has a poor prognosis.When immature teeth with open apex are avulsed, the ideal treatment objective is spontaneous revascularization of the pulp. Replantation is not recommended in case of avulsion of primary teeth, but it is possible when all conditions are favorable.

Histopathological and immunohistochemical profiles of pulp tissues in immature dogs’ teeth to two recently introduced pulpotomy materials

ObjectiveThe pulpal response to Hoffmann’s Pulpine mineral (PMIN) and Pulpine NE (PNE) was compared to mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) when used as pulpotomy materials in immature permanent teeth in dogs.Materials and methodsImmature premolars were randomly divided according to the observation period into three equal groups (n = 24) (10 days, 30 days, and 90 days) then furtherly subdivided into 3 subgroups according to the material used. Histopathological analysis regarding inflammatory cell infiltration and dentin bridge (DB) formation was done. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed using osteopontin marker.ResultsThe results showed that after 90 days, both MTA and PMIN subgroups had 100% complete thick DB without inflammation in 87.5% of the samples, while the PNE subgroup failed to form DB in 37.5% of the samples and 50% of samples showed thin initial DB with heavy inflammation in 62.5% of the samples. There was no significant difference between MTA and PMIN, while there was a statistically significant difference between PNE and the two other subgroups in DB formation and inflammatory cell infiltration (P > 0.05). After 90 days, MTA showed the highest mean value of osteopontin positive fraction area followed by PMIN without statistically significant differences, while the least value was recorded in PNE subgroup with statistically significant difference with the remaining subgroups (P < 0.05).ConclusionPMIN is a promising alternative to MTA when used for pulpotomy.Clinical relevanceVital pulp therapy in immature teeth can be done using PMIN as an alternative to MTA.

Evolution of regenerative endodontic in young permanent teeth: a literature review

Objective: to compare different protocols available for regenerative endodontic. Methodology: articles published between 2001 and 2021 were searched on the database PubMed using the following keywords: “pulp revascularization” or “pulp revitalization” or “apexification”. Inclusion criteria were studies on humans, patients with immature permanent teeth with necrosis or irreversible pulpitis, a follow-up of at least 12 months, clearly described protocols and in English language. Results: The search produced 944 results. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, only 35 were selected. 11 articles were added following a bibliographic review of the selected articles and a total of 46 cases were included. The success rate outcome for regenerative endodontic was of 80% observed in a total of 278 teeth. During irrigation, NaOCL was used in most of the cases with concentration varying from 0.5% to 6% and TAP has been the most used intracanal medication (32.7%). Periapical healing and resolution of the symptoms were observed in 95.7%, while apexogenesis was observed in 80.2%. Increase in root length reach 60%, root thickness 64.8% and apical closure 61,9%. Pulp vitality was found in 7.2% of the cases and discoloration in 29.5%. Conclusion: Regenerative endodontic showed signs of apexogenesis in most cases, and a pronounced increase in root thickness, root length and closure of the apex. Due to a high number of protocols and their heterogenicity, the superiority of one over the others cannot be established. More randomized clinical trials are needed to determine the most effective protocol.

Efficacy of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate Repair High Plasticity, Biodentine, and EndoSequence Root Repair Material Putty as Apical Barriers in Immature Permanent Teeth: An In Vitro Bacterial Leakage Study.

To assess the microleakage of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) repair high plasticity (HP), EndoSequence root repair material (ESRRM) putty, and Biodentine, when used as an apical plug in immature permanent teeth. In an in vitro model, 55 extracted maxillary incisors were decoronated and resected 3 mm apically to obtain standardized 15-mm root blocks, which were then cleaned and shaped. All samples had a 1.1-mm standardized, prepared artificial open apex. The teeth were arbitrarily designated into three experimental groups (n = 15) and two control (positive/negative) groups (n = 5). In the experimental groups, orthograde 4-mm thick apical plugs of Biodentine (group I), ESRRM putty (group II), and MTA repair HP (group III) were placed. Positive control samples were left vacant while negative control samples were filled with Biodentine. The bacterial leakage method was used to appraise the sealing efficiency of the cements. Statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) software, version 21.0, was used for data analysis. Post hoc Tukey's test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and repeated measures of ANOVA were used for intergroup and intragroup comparisons. On day 1, there was a significant difference between the groups, with group II showing the least and group 1 showing the maximum microleakage. No significant difference among the groups was seen at other observational periods. There was a tendency for leakage to increase significantly from day 1 to 7, then decrease till the end of the experimental period. It was concluded that the three materials evaluated, with time, exhibited comparable apical microleakage when treating teeth with open apices. MTA repair HP can be used as an apical plug material in open apices with similar success as ESRRM putty and marginally better outcome than Biodentine.

Regeneration of immature incisor using platelet rich fibrin: report of a novel clinical application

BackgroundEndodontic treatment of young permanent teeth with necrotic pulp presents a clinical challenge for the dentist, and conventional endodontic treatment will result in tooth fracture along with a poor prognosis. Regenerative endodontics is a new protocol that has been advanced in the last decades for managing immature permanent teeth. Rare successful management of immature permanent incisors using platelet-rich fibrin is a technique-sensitive procedure.Case presentationA 08 years 04 months old female reported the chief complaint of pain in the upper front tooth region for one week. A blunderbuss canal was identified on radiographic examination, and revascularization using platelet-rich fibrin was planned and adopted. After the treatment, apical closure and root lengthening were noted without complications during subsequent follow-ups. Complete periapical healing with greater than 1.5 cm of dentinal thickness was noted.ConclusionRevascularization can be considered a viable treatment option for immature nonvital permanent teeth; with advancements in regenerative medicine and clinical practices, revascularization therapies could be developed as a novel mode of treatment in non-vital and dental traumatic cases.

A novel DSPP frameshift mutation causing dentin dysplasia type 2 and disease management strategies.

The present study aims to investigate the mutation in a Chinese family with dentin dysplasia type II (DD-II) and to summarize mutation hotspots, clinical manifestations, and disease management strategies. Phenotype analysis, clinical intervention, mutation screening, and cosegregation analysis within the enrolled family were performed. A summary of the reported mutations in the dentin phosphoprotein (DPP) region of dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP) was analyzed. Pathogenicity prediction analysis of the physical properties and function of DSPP variants was performed by bioinformatic processing. Clinical management strategies are discussed. A novel pathogenic mutation (c.2035delA) in the DPP region of DSPP was identified, which was cosegregated in the family. The immature permanent teeth of patients with DD-II presented with X-shaped root canal phenotypes. Most of the identified mutations for DD-II were clustered in the DPP region between nucleotides 1686-2134. Points of differential diagnosis, clinical interventions, and management strategies are proposed. This study revealed a novel DSPP frameshift mutation and presented new clinical features of DD-II. The locus involving nucleotides 1686-2134 of DSPP may represent a mutational hotspot for the disease. Appropriate management of DD-II at different stages is important to avoid the development of secondary dental lesions.

Regenerative therapy in young permanent tooth: Case report

Pulp necrosis in immature permanent teeth represents a challenge for clinical management. The dentin wall in immature teeth is thin and the root is short, leading to an unfavorable long-term prognosis due to the risk of root fracture. Regenerative endodontic procedures have been shown to be effective and improve the prognosis of the compromised immature tooth by re-establishing functional pulp tissue that promotes continued root development and immune competence. The objective of the study was to report a case of a young permanent molar, diagnosed with necrosis and incomplete rhizogenesis. A female patient, 08 years old, attended the clinic of the specialization course in Endodontics, Faculty of Dentistry São Leopoldo Mandic, Belo Horizonte Unit. Regenerative therapy was proposed, which involved the following steps: anesthesia, opening, odontometry, minimal instrumentation, disinfection with 2% chlorhexidine gel, irrigation with saline solution, intracanal medication with calcium hydroxide paste, induction of bleeding to form a blood clot, cervical sealing with mineral trioxide aggregate and composite resin. The patient remained symptom-free up to 5 months after treatment. However, radiographically, an increase in the periapical radiolucent area was noted, so it was decided to carry out the conventional endodontic treatment. Regenerative therapy can be an alternative to apexification in immature teeth in cases of irreversible pulpitis and pulp necrosis associated or not with a periapicalesionson. It is a simple treatment with advantageous results as it promotes an increase in the length and thickness of the dentin wall and apical closure as seen in the case described in this work.

Vital pulp therapy following pulpotomy in immature permanent teeth with carious exposure.

This prospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of vital pulp therapy (VPT) with the use of iRoot BP Plus (Innovative Bioceramics, Vancouver, Canada) for immature permanent teeth of patients aged from 6 to 10 years with pulp exposure resulting from dental caries and determine the impact of preoperative factors on VPT. Forty-six immature permanent teeth with dental caries underwent pulpotomy using iRoot BP Plus following a standardized protocol. Postoperative follow-ups were conducted on the first 3, 6 and 12 months post-surgery, then annually afterward. Successful treatment outcomes were defined based on clinical and radiographic evaluations. Statistical analysis was performed using the Fisher exact test, with p < 0.05 considered for statistical significance. Forty-four patients included in this study were 8.48 ± 1.49 years old and were followed up for 6 to 36 months. The overall success rate of pulpotomy was found to be 90.9% (40/44). None of the physical examination findings and symptoms significantly affected VPT prognosis (p > 0.05). Immature permanent teeth with caries-induced pulp exposed in patients aged 6 to 10 years can be effectively treated with pulpotomy using iRoot sBP Plus.

Short fiber reinforced composite on fracture strength of immature permanent anterior teeth with simulated regenerative endodontic procedures: an in vitro study.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of short fiber reinforced composite on the fracture strength of anterior immature teeth treated with regenerative endodontic procedures. A total of 120 permanent maxillary central incisors were selected, and root lengths were standardized. Except for the positive control group (n = 20), the root canals were instrumented to simulate immature teeth with incomplete root development, and the regenerative endodontic procedure was performed. Twenty instrumented teeth acted as negative controls (n = 20), and the remaining 80 teeth were randomly divided into 4 groups according to the chosen coronal restoration material: bulk fill, short fiber reinforced composite (SFRC), polyethylene fiber (Ribbond Ultra), and flowable composite resin. Each specimen was then subjected to fracture testing using a universal testing machine (AGS-X, Shimadzu, Japan). The load to fracture was recorded. Data were subjected to statistical analysis using analysis of variance and the Tukey Honestly Significant Difference test. A significant difference was detected between the groups (p < 0.05), with the positive control group showing the highest mean fracture strength. The SFRC group had significantly higher values than the bulk fill, polyethylene fiber, flowable composite resin and negative control groups. In conclusion, SFRC has a relatively high fracture strength compared to other materials used in regenerative endodontic procedures. The use of SFRC enhanced the fracture strength of immature permanent teeth.

Successful Rehabilitation of Traumatized Immature Teeth by Different Vital Pulp Therapies in Pediatric Patients

Conservative treatment of the traumatized immature vital permanent teeth is considered critical step for rehabilitating with continued normal development of root and apex closure without adverse sequelae. Hence, the present article describes the case series of successfully and effectively managing the fractured vital immature permanent teeth (Ellis Class-II and Ellis Class-III dental trauma) in pediatric patients by employing three different conservative Vital Pulp Therapy (VPT) approaches using suitable sealing/pulp-capping agents to promote apexogenesis, followed by functional and esthetic restoration. In all the three presented cases, Apexogenesis was achieved without any unfavorable outcome like pulpal or periapical sequelae. Furthermore, the current dental literature relevant to VPT procedures for apexogenesis in young permanent teeth has been thoroughly described in this article.

Comparative outcomes of platelet concentrates and blood clot scaffolds for regenerative endodontic procedures: A systematic review of randomized controlled clinical trials.

The main objective of this systematic review is to evaluate the effectiveness of platelet concentrates -Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or Fibrin-rich plasma (PRF)- compared with blood clot (BC) as scaffolds for maturogenesis, in patients with immature permanent teeth with or without AP, in terms of the criteria for pulp revascularization success. We reviewed randomized controlled clinical trials comparing regenerative endodontic therapies (maturogenesis) based on PRP or PRF versus the conventional BC approach, in necrotic teeth with or without apical periodontitis (AP) under clinical and radiographic criteria. We performed a strategic search in MEDLINE (PUBMED), EMBASE, and ISI Web of Science from inception to October 2022. This systematic review of the literature was developed following the Cochrane Collaboration and PRISMA statement recommendations. We used the Cochrane risk of bias tool v2 to assess the included studies' quality. We performed a qualitative synthesis of the evidence. Ten randomized controlled clinical trials were included in this systematic review. Analyses of these studies suggest that maturogenesis is a successful therapy regardless of the method employed. However, further research should be conducted with more suitable research methodologies and more homogenous data for meta-analysis. Results from this systematic review suggest that BC maturogenesis approaches yield similar clinical and radiographic outcomes when compared to Platelet-concentrates based therapies (PRP and PRF). Key words:Maturogenesis, Revascularization, Platelet-rich plasma, Fibrin-rich plasma, blood clot, systematic review.
