Twenty-eight patients were prospectively enrolled and followed for 12 months alongside a retrospectively selected historical control group. Outcomes were evaluated through standardised blinded clinical, radiographic and vitality assessments. The A-PRF+ protocol demonstrated significantly faster periapical healing, superior root lengthening, increased dentinal wall thickness and apical closure (<i>p</i> < 0.0001), with excellent aesthetic outcomes and no reported tooth discolouration. Pulpal blood flow measured by laser Doppler flowmetry indicated vitality restoration in 93% of cases. Preliminary linear regression identified treatment duration as a significant predictor of apical closure (<i>p</i> < 0.0001), with possible enhancement by additional patient-specific variables. These findings validate the A-PRF+ protocol as a highly effective, aesthetically favourable and predictable regenerative strategy, establishing a new benchmark for the management of immature necrotic teeth and laying the foundation for personalised predictive endodontic care.

Chloride tolerance varies among acidophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria, but the concentrations at which they remain active are generally too low to permit the industrial use of seawater. Therefore, identifying highly chloride-tolerant leaching microorganisms and studying their bioleaching potential in chloride-containing systems is of utmost importance. This study investigated chloride tolerance and adaptability of bacteria from different genera, with a focus on <i>Sulfobacillus thermosulfidooxidans</i> subsp. <i>asporogenes</i> 41, a moderately thermophilic strain that can oxidize both Fe (II) and reduced inorganic sulfur compounds (RISCs). This dual activity makes it advantageous for bioleaching by facilitating sulfur removal, generating acidity, and preventing mineral passivation. Comparative experiments on the bioleaching of pyrite and chalcopyrite demonstrated that adaptation to 0.3 M NaCl enhanced the chloride tolerance of <i>S. thermosulfidooxidans</i> subsp. <i>asporogenes</i> 41. The adapted strain exhibited significantly improved copper extraction under saline conditions compared with the native culture. Maximum copper recovery was achieved at 0.4 M NaCl, highlighting the potential of chloride-adapted moderate thermophiles for biomining applications in saline environments.
