Interdental papilla deficiency is frequent among different populations, with a tendency to increase with age and in patients with periodontal disease. In addition, GBT causes phonetic problems, food impaction, plaque accumulation, and increased risk for root caries. The small dimensions of the IDP and the limited vascular supply to the interproximal space render treatment modalities of receded papillae unpredictable. Still, and based on the etiological factors, several non-surgical treatment options, including correction of traumatic oral hygiene practices, restorative interventions, papilla priming, papilla enhancement with either autologous fibroblast injection or hyaluronic acid, and orthodontic therapy, have been proposed to fill the GBT. In addition, different surgical techniques-with or without grafting biomaterials-have also been introduced to reconstruct the lost papilla. Nonetheless, there is no gold standard set yet. Further, systematic reviews evaluating the efficacy of surgical reconstruction of deficient IDP are still lacking due to the scarcity of large-scale clinical trials and the absence of long-term clinical outcomes. The aim of this review was to identify various causes of IDP recession as well as to explore the available treatment modalities to reconstruct the lost papilla.","PeriodicalId":73077,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in dental medicine","volume":"5 ","pages":"1537452"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11797962/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143365545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 39 schools (57% response rate) responded to the survey, and all 39 of them reported that SDF was now part of their curriculum, significantly different (p < 0.001) from 2016 (68% of schools). Significant changes (p < 0.001) were reported in the survey responses from 2016 to 2022, particularly in how SDF was being taught (97% teaching didactically and clinically vs. 48% in 2016), but were not necessarily a response to the COVID pandemic. Schools report teaching more indications for the use of SDF and using more specific protocols with more schools teaching arresting caries in permanent teeth (97% vs. 78% in 2016). Since 2016, the use and teaching of SDF have been increasingly adopted across U.S. dental schools, though there remains room for improvement in terms of consistent implementation, specific clinical protocols, and comprehensive training.","PeriodicalId":73077,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in dental medicine","volume":"5 ","pages":"1466962"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11797966/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143366223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This case report describes using a multidisciplinary approach to manage a child with not only a fused tooth with a supernumerary but also the presence of other supernumerary teeth in the same place. In this case, deviation from the standard management of a fused permanent anterior tooth, an anchor for aesthetics, by extracting it because of crown root complexity and allowing a supernumerary to erupt into its place made the difference in the successful outcome. However, this condition required multidisciplinary management that necessitated the involvement of the psychiatric department. Continuous assessment of the patient's psychosocial function using the Social Avoidance and Distress Scale (SADS) allowed appropriate guidance to manage the patient's behavior. This case report added a different perspective on managing a fused tooth with a supernumerary to the literature.

Vertucci's classification was also studied.Results: Vertucci Type I was more prevalent in palatal and mesio-buccal root of superior molar and distal root of inferior molars. Type IV was more frequent in the mesial root. Dentine thickness was studied at three levels and for all the surfaces of the root canal. In the mesiobuccal root, in the middle and apical third, the mean in the upper molars is significantly higher than in the lower molars. The mesio-lingual canal has the major mean in mesio-distal and bucco-lingual diameter at coronal third. Isthmus were found mostly in the mesial root in all three levels. The high number of foramina and lateral canals were located at apical third of the mesial and mesio-buccal roots.Conclusion: This study showed the complexity and variability of the root canal morphology of primary molars.

The condition begins with the accumulation of dental plaque, which initiates an immune response. Current radiographic methods for assessing alveolar bone loss are subjective, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. This study aims to develop an AI-driven model using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to accurately assess alveolar bone loss and provide individualized periodontal prognoses from panoramic radiographs.Methods: A total of 2,000 panoramic radiographs were collected using the same device, based on the periodontal diagnosis codes from the HOSxP Program. Image enhancement techniques were applied, and an AI model based on YOLOv8 was developed to segment teeth, identify the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ), and assess alveolar bone levels. The model quantified bone loss and classified prognoses for each tooth.Results: The teeth segmentation model achieved 97% accuracy, 90% sensitivity, 96% specificity, and an F1 score of 0.80. The CEJ and bone level segmentation model showed superior results with 98% accuracy, 100% sensitivity, 98% specificity, and an F1 score of 0.90. These findings confirm the models' effectiveness in analyzing panoramic radiographs for periodontal bone loss detection and prognostication.Conclusion: This AI model offers a state-of-the-art approach for assessing alveolar bone loss and predicting individualized periodontal prognoses. It provides a faster, more accurate, and less labor-intensive alternative to current methods, demonstrating its potential for improving periodontal diagnosis and patient outcomes.","PeriodicalId":73077,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in dental medicine","volume":"5 ","pages":"1509361"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11797906/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143365469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
