Article Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this retrospective study was to examine the effect of orthodontic extrusion on the pulpal vitality of maxillary incisors with a history of trauma.
Methods: Pulpal condition was examined clinically (rating of crown color and sensitivity testing with a cryogenic spray) and radiologically (periapical and panoramic radiographs) after orthodontic extrusion of previously traumatized (Orthodontics/Trauma group, n = 77) and nontraumatized teeth (Orthodontics group, n = 400) and after previous dental trauma without subsequent orthodontic treatment (Trauma group, n = 193). Dental traumata were divided into hard tissue injuries (fracture of enamel and enamel chipping, fracture of enamel-dentin without pulpal involvement, fracture of enamel-dentin with pulpal involvement, root fracture, crown-root fracture) and periodontal injuries (concussion, subluxation, intrusion, extrusion, lateral luxation, and avulsion).
Results: Teeth in the Orthodontics/Trauma group showed a significantly higher frequency of pulp necrosis than teeth in the Orthodontics group (P < .001) or teeth in the Trauma group (P < .009). In addition, teeth in the Orthodontics/Trauma group with periodontal injuries showed a significantly higher rate of pulp necrosis than teeth in the Orthodontics group (P < .001) or the corresponding teeth in the Trauma group (P = .004). No significant differences were observed between teeth in the Orthodontics/Trauma group with previous hard tissue injuries and teeth in the Orthodontics group or the corresponding teeth in the Trauma group. In addition, no statistically significant differences were determined between central and lateral incisors.
Conclusions: The results indicated that maxillary incisors with a history of severe periodontal injury have a higher susceptibility to pulp necrosis during orthodontic extrusion than nontraumatized teeth.

Background: The efficacy of clear aligner treatment (CAT) in space closure following premolar extraction (SCaPE) and its resistance to unwanted tooth movement remain uncertain. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy, predictability, and resistance to unwanted tooth movement by CAT for SCaPE.
Methods: Pre-post studies, randomized, and non-randomized clinical trials were included.

This study evaluated the association between planned anterior tooth movements, attachment use, and the need for refinement in clear aligner (CA) therapy using logistic regression. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 116 patients and 696 anterior teeth treated with Invisalign. For each tooth, planned movement magnitudes (extrusion, intrusion, rotation, angulation, inclination) and the presence of attachments were recorded.

Complex crown-root fractures in the esthetic zone refer to a type of dental trauma occurring in the anterior region, characterized by concurrent fractures involving both the crown and root, with associated pulp exposure and periodontal tissue injury. These injuries consistently exhibit critical anatomical features, including a fixed palatal fracture location below the alveolar crest, compromised residual tooth structure, and frequent violation of the biological width. To predict treatment outcomes, a risk assessment framework based on the restoration-tooth-periodontium (RTP) interface was developed.

Aim: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy and accuracy of optimized versus conventional attachments in clear aligner treatment using Invisalign.
Materials And Methods: Adhering to the 'Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis' (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines, the review obtained 6 retrospective cohort studies and one randomized controlled trial, sourced from databases such as PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and clinical trial registries. Four studies were included for meta-analysis.
