Damaged first permanent molar: how conservative can we be?
CONCLUSION: The decision to retain a FPM is based on several criteria, including assessment of pulpal status (which remains problematic, especially on immature permanent teeth) and the feasibility of coronal restoration. The decision to retain or extract a FPM must be the subject of a multidisciplinary discussion between a paediatric dental surgeon and a specialist qualified in dentofacial orthopaedics.PMID:37930343 | DOI:10.1684/orthodfr.2023.135 (Source: L' Orthodontie Francaise)

Pulp regeneration: follow the guide
CONCLUSION: Each stage of the protocol must be carried out rigorously so as not to compromise the stages of the various biological processes involved. The practitioner has to stay informed of advances in knowledge resulting from research and new protocols to be published.PMID:37930344 | DOI:10.1684/orthodfr.2023.136 (Source: L' Orthodontie Francaise)

What do we currently need to know about molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH) and hypomineralized second primary molars (HSPM)?
CONCLUSION: The knowledge of these different elements on diagnosis, structure, prevalence and etiologies will allow the orthodontist to better collaborate with the dentist but also with the parents in order to ensure an adequate dental and orthodontic management.PMID:37930345 | DOI:10.1684/orthodfr.2023.138 (Source: L' Orthodontie Francaise)
