These injuries, which occur across a wide range of sports, have increasingly been recognized for their immediate and long-term impact on the health and well-being of athletes [<span>1, 2</span>]. This highlights the urgent need for effective preventive measures, such as mouthguards, which have been shown to reduce the risk of dental and soft tissue injuries significantly [<span>1</span>]. By prioritizing orofacial injury prevention, athletes can be better protected not only from short-term injuries but also from long-term complications, fostering a safer and more sustainable approach to sports participation [<span>2, 3</span>]. As digital platforms continue to shape healthcare communication, the quality of available information becomes ever more crucial [<span>4-8</span>].

Their study highlights the marked differences in content quality between videos produced by dental professionals and non-professionals. By examining 300 videos, the authors categorize their findings based on publisher credibility and video types, shedding light on the role of online educational resources in informing athletes about protective measures.

However, the guidelines of the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD) and the American Association of Endodontists (AAE) ‘Clinical recommendations for a regenerative procedure’ recommend against calcium hydroxide apexification. The American Association of Endodontists “Clinical considerations for a regenerative procedure” do not list calcium hydroxide apexification as a treatment option for immature teeth with pulp necrosis. This review analyses the strength of the science that led to calcium hydroxide no longer being recommended by the EAPD and AAE regenerative guidelines. Many differences in the studies and failure to include adequate controls have resulted in inconsistent outcomes between studies. Furthermore, prior in vitro studies have assessed narrow mechanical properties of teeth without a theoretical fracture mechanics model. Cvek's concerns regarding the thinness of the dentinal walls remain as a primary risk for tooth fracture with Class 3 root development fractured with an incidence of 77% compared to a fracture incidence of just 2% for mature teeth. This review develops a simple fracture mechanics approach to the phenomenon of transverse root fracture that provides a theoretical framework to why fragile roots are more likely to fracture when compared to mature teeth. Furthermore, the effect of the varying size access cavities has not been previously considered. Systematic reviews and clinical studies do attest to the success of all approaches for the treatment of immature teeth with pulp necrosis. Calcium hydroxide apexification is one of the recommended treatments in the International Association of Dental Traumatology guidelines. However, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and hydraulic calcium silicate cements (HCSC's) may provide better outcomes and have the convenience for the patient of a shorter treatment time.
