Lateral Luxation Management in Young Permanent Teeth: An Effort to Prevent Pulp and Periodontal Pathologies

Posttraumatic Displacement Management: Lateral Luxation and Alveolar Bone Fracture in Young Permanent Teeth with 5 Years of Follow-Up

Dental trauma is an important public health problem due to high prevalence and associated limitations. The external impact accounting for trauma may result in different injury types to teeth and supporting structures. This paper describes a clinical case of tooth trauma in an 8-year-old patient exhibiting the displacement of three permanent teeth with open root apexes. Although the traumatic im...

Pulp therapy for primary and young permanent teeth.

Comparative Gene-Expression Analysis of Periodontal Ligament and Dental Pulp in the Human Permanent Teeth

There is no genetic activity information with the functions of dental pulp and periodontal ligament in human. The purpose of this study was to identify the gene-expression profiles of, and the molecular biological differences between periodontal ligament and dental pulp obtained from human permanent teeth. cDNA microarray analysis identified 347 genes with a fourfold or greater difference in ex...

Catalase activity in healthy and inflamed pulp tissues of permanent teeth in young people.

AIM To evaluate catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6) activity in healthy and inflamed dental pulp of young patient's teeth and to investigate if an active defense system oxidizing agents is present as a response to bacterial invasion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty young patients between 15 and 25 ages, who were diagnosed to be healthy, were the source of the pulp tissue. The situation of the dental pul...

Clinical and radiographic assessment of direct pulp capping and pulpotomy in young permanent teeth.

Seventy-six vital permanent incisors with complicated crown t’ractures in 72 children were assessed clinically and radiographically for the healing of pulp exposures treated by direct pulp capping or by pulpotomy. Thirty-eight of these teeth had pinpoint exposures, complete roots, and were treated by pulp capping. Pulpotomy was the treatment for the other 38 teeth that had incomplete root devel...
