Comparing apexification and apexogenesis for immature permanent teeth, with evidence on MTA, calcium hydroxide, and regenerative endodontic approaches.

The shift from metal-ceramic (PFM) to all-ceramic restorations represents one of the most significant material transitions in restorative dentistry over the past two decades. In the United States, all-ceramic crowns now account for over 65% of single-unit posterior restorations according to the 2023

For over a century, the dominant paradigm in caries management has been surgical: identify cavitated lesions, remove carious tissue with rotary instruments, and restore the tooth with a synthetic material. Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) — a colorless alkaline solution containing silver (25% w/v), flu

Regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs) represent a paradigm shift in the management of immature permanent teeth with necrotic pulps. For decades, the standard of care for these teeth — typically resulting from trauma or dens evaginatus in children and adolescents aged 7–16 years — was apexificati

The use of autologous blood-derived products to enhance wound healing and tissue regeneration has been a focus of surgical research for over four decades. The first-generation product, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), was introduced in the 1970s and gained popularity in the 1990s for its ability to deliv

These prevalence figures have significant clinical implications. A general dental practice with 500 implant patients can expect approximately 95 patients to develop peri-implantitis requiring intervention. Unlike periodontitis around natural teeth, peri-implantitis presents unique challenges: the ab

Dental implantology has undergone a fundamental shift in treatment philosophy over the past two decades. The original Branemark protocol, established in the 1970s, mandated extraction socket healing for 6 to 12 months before implant placement, followed by an additional 3 to 6 months of submerged hea

Esthetic dentistry has historically relied on analog diagnostic tools: mounted study casts on semi-adjustable articulators, two-dimensional facial photographs, manual wax-ups, and diagnostic mock-ups fabricated by the dentist or laboratory technician. While these methods have produced excellent resu
