Revascularization procedure in an open apex tooth with external root resorption: A case report
External inflammatory root resorption (EIR) represents a challenge in endodontic practice. EIR commonly occurs after dental trauma that results in periodontal ligament injury, pulp necrosis and subsequent infection.  Treatment of EIR is based on disinfecting the root canal system through chemomechanical procedures and then filling it with calcium hydroxide or triple antibiotic paste. Dental trauma commonly occurs in young patients whose teeth are not fully formed and have thin dentinal walls and open apices. Revascularization therapy has proven to be suitable for treatment of root canals of teeth with pulp necrosis an...

Consistent absence of BRAF mutations in salivary gland carcinomas
Conclusions: According to our results SGCs didn’t acquire BRAF mutations that result in a constitutive activation of the signaling cascade downstream of EGFR, hence SGCs can be a good candidate for anti EGFR therapies. (Source: Journal of Dental Materials and Techniques)

Assessment of Color Changes in Vita 3D-Master Shade Guide after Sterilization and Disinfection
Conclusions:  The color change of shade tabs was significant both after disinfection by a chemical solution and by sterilization through autoclaving. However, although disinfectants may not have a clinically important effect, sterilization should be considered as an interfering factor during color-matching procedure.

Endodontic Therapy of the Periapical Lesion in the Anterior Mandibular in a Patient with ...
Tricho-Dento-Osseous syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder. Immunosuppressive drugs, though critical to the treatment, have undesirable effects on patient's healing process. This is a case report of a 10-year-old female, suffering from Tricho-Dento-Osseous syndrome who was under treatment with penicillamine. As the dental treatment was sought too late, both central and lateral incisors on the right side of mandible had severe enamel hypoplasia and tooth necrosis was evident. A large lesion was found in anterior mandible. After proper treatment of the teeth with appropritately considering the systemic condition of ...

Hybrid Odontogenic Lesion: A Rare Entity
Hybrid tumors are very rare tumors composed of two different tumor entities, each of which conforms to an exactly defined tumor category. A 14-year-old boy was referred for an intraosseous painless lesion with a histopathological feature of multiple odontogenic lesions including calcifying odontogenic cyst, complex odontoma and ameloblastic fibro-odontoma. The final diagnosis considered to be a hybrid odontogenic lesion.  (Source: Journal of Dental Materials and Techniques)
