Article Abstract
Introduction: Incomplete root formation following pulp necrosis requires mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) apexification. Although effective, this treatment does not increase the root thickness, necessitating additional reinforcement. This study aimed to evaluate the fracture resistance of simulated immature mandibular premolars apexified with MTA and reinforced with various materials using Weibull analysis.
Methods: Ninety human mandibular first premolars were prepared to simulate immature teeth. After MTA apexification, teeth were divided into six groups: negative control (intact teeth), positive control (untreated apexified teeth), gutta-percha (GP) with AH Plus, GP with Bioceramic sealer, core, and fiber post/core. The teeth underwent thermocycling, periodontal ligament simulation, and fracture testing.
Results: Negative and positive controls exhibited the highest and lowest fracture resistance, respectively. Core and fiber post/core had hazard ratios of 4.79 and 6.23, respectively, outperforming GP with AH Plus and GP with Bioceramic sealer (hazard ratios: 14.23 and 17.22, respectively). Most fractures occurred in the coronal third.
Conclusions: Intraradicular reinforcement materials (fiber post/core and core) provided greater support to MTA-apexified roots than conventional root filling materials (GP/AH Plus and GP/Bioceramic sealer).

Effect of time and local factors on the stability of hydrophilic self-tapping tissue-level implants: 1-year prospective study.
Int J Oral Implantol (Berl)
September 2025
Purpose: To evaluate changes in implant stability quotient values of hydrophilic tissue-level implants over time, and to investigate the influence of local factors on variations in these values.
Methods: Fifty tapered, self-tapping, tissue-level implants with a hydrophilic surface were placed and monitored for 12 months. Implant stability quotient values were recorded at the time of insertion (T0) and monthly thereafter for 12 months.
Fit accuracy of complete crowns fabricated by generative artificial intelligence design: a comparative clinical study.

Department of Prosthodontics, School of Dentistry, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, Republic of Korea.
Purpose: Designing restorations remains challenging because the process is time-consuming and requires operator skill and experience. This clinical study evaluated the fit accuracy of polymerized complete crowns fabricated using a web-based 3D generative artificial intelligence design (GAID) method compared to crowns fabricated using a conventional computer-aided design (CCAD) method.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-two patients requiring complete crowns in maxillary and mandibular premolars and molars were enrolled.
Measurement-Based Analysis of a Novel Method for Orthodontic Mandibular Molar Protraction Using an Improved Superelastic Ni-Ti Alloy Wire.

Purpose Improved superelastic nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) alloy wires (ISWs) can be used not only for aligning but also for closing the extraction space. The objective of this study was to measure and compare the force and moment generated during mandibular molar protraction using an ISW combined with either short or long hooks under simulated crowded dentition conditions. Materials and methods Assuming crowded dentition following mandibular first premolar extraction, we designed a three-tooth model simulating the canine, the second premolar, and the first molar.

Objectives: This retrospective study evaluates alveolar bone remodeling patterns and their association with incisor displacement in adults undergoing clear aligner therapy with premolar extractions for Class II malocclusion correction.
Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 38 maxillary and 37 mandibular incisors were analyzed. Displacement vectors for four anatomical landmarks (cusp tip [C], root apex [R], root neck midpoint [M], labial cementoenamel junction [L]) were quantified.
Combining machine learning algorithms to construct a new method for inferring dental age of children with missing teeth in southern China.

Age inference is a key focus of forensic work, and traditional dental age inference methods require individuals to have a complete dental arch. However, congenital or acquired tooth loss may lead to random tooth loss in individuals, resulting in bias in age prediction. To address this issue, we validated and modified Bedek's tooth age inference method (a method for inferring the age of a population with missing teeth) for the first time in the Chinese population of children with complete dentition, congenital tooth loss, and acquired tooth loss, and constructed two new machine learning based tooth age inference methods (unilateral mandible and bilateral mandible tooth age estimation models) in this population.
