To date, there are no standardized protocols available in the literature for hypersensitivity treatment in molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of erosion–infiltration treatments with resin in children with a strong hypersensitivity and also to develop a minimally invasive diagnostic–therapeutic pathway for young MIH patients. Patients with clinical signs of MIH were enrolled according to international guidelines. A total of 42 patients (8–14 years old) with sensitivity of at least one molar and patients with post eruptive enamel fractures, but without dentin involvement or cavitated carious lesions were selected. A single superficial infiltration treatment with ICON (DMG, Germany) was performed with a modified etching technique. Sensitivity was tested with the Schiff Scale and Wong Baker Face Scale and was repeated at 12 months follow-up. All patients reported lower sensitivity values at the end of the treatment. Significant differences of sensitivity according to the Schiff scale were reported between T0 and all subsequent follow-ups, p < 0.05. The treatment of erosion infiltration with ICON resin is a minimally invasive preventive treatment that significantly improves the problem of hypersensitivity in permanent molars with MIH.

Abstract This clinical case was aimed at reporting and discussing diagnostic methods for early detection and preventive treatment of proximal carious lesions. The patient presented to the dental clinic seeking treatment of a problem she reported as being “dental caries”. The patient’s orthodontist diagnosed dental caries, by means of radiographic exam. There was no evidence of any proximal carious lesion in the intraoral examination. The bitewing radiographs presented a radiolucent area limited to enamel in the mesial of maxillary left-second-bicuspid. For the purpose of confirming the intraoral diagnosis, an immediate tooth separation was performed. The immediate separation was unable to provide sufficient access; thus, the slow separation approach was performed. After 24-hours, tooth separation of 1mm was obtained, providing enough access for clinical examination. The proximal areas were evaluated by transillumination and impression taking. During the visual inspection, an area of enamel staining was observed, with no roughness due to tactile inspection and the evaluation by transillumination and impression showed no cavitation. The following preventive treatment plan was endorsed: oral hygiene instructions with emphasis to the importance of flossing the proximal areas, and healthy dietary habits. After a 5-years period of follow-up, the enhanced oral hygiene and heathy dietary habits were observed. A clinical examination with immediate tooth separation and bitewing radiographs was performed and showed no cavitation. Thecombination of methods for detecting carious lesions in proximal surfaces was effective in obtaining a diagnosis of cariesin the permanent dentition. The absence of cavitated lesions must be indicative of preventive treatment.Keywords: Dental Caries. Preventive Dentistry.

A paciente procurou atendimento restaurador com queixa de cárie diagnosticada por exame radiográfico realizado após término de seu tratamento ortodôntico. Ao exame clínico não havia suspeita de lesão cariosa. A avaliação radiográfica revelou, na face mesialdo dente 25, presença de área radiolúcida limitada à metade externa do esmalte. Para confirmação do diagnóstico realizou-se a separação interdentária imediata, porém como a mesma não permitiu adequada visualização foi realizada a separação mediata e após 24 horas obteve-se adequada separação (1 mm) para o exame clínico. Em seguida, a superfície proximal foi avaliada por transiluminação e moldagem. Durante a inspeção visual foi constatada área de manchamento do esmalte, com ausência de rugosidade pela inspeção tátil e a avaliação tanto por transiluminação da superfície proximal, quanto por moldagem revelou ausência de cavitação. Devido o diagnóstico obtido o seguinte tratamento preventivo foi indicado: reforço de higiene oral com ênfase na importância do uso do fio dental e hábitos dietéticos saudáveis. Após 5 anos de acompanhamento melhoria da higiene oral e hábitos dietéticos foram constatados. O exame clínico com separação interdentária imediata e exame radiográfico revelaram ausência de cavitação. Conclui-se que a combinação de métodos de detecção de lesões cariosas proximais foi efetivo no diagnóstico da cárie dentária na dentição permanente. O resultado deste relato de caso mostrou que a ausência de lesões cariosas cavitadas deve ser um indicativo de tratamento preventivo.Palavras-chave: Cárie Dentária. Odontologia Preventiva.

Purpose: To observe the clinical effect of partial pulpotomy with I Root Bp Plus in cariously exposed mature permanent teeth. Methods: twenty-three cariously exposed mature permanent teeth were choosen by preoperative clinical signs, pulp dynamic examination and imaging examination. After informed consent, rubber barrier was placed. The tooth decay and the inflamed pulp were removed by round bur. After 5% sodium hypochlorite covered the section until sufficient hemostasis was achieved, I Root Bp Plus was used to tightly cover the pulp with a thickness of about 2mm, resin was filled to repaired the shape of the tooth. The capping pulp was examined by X-ray immediately after operation. Clinical and imaging examinations were performed 12 months and 36 months after treatment. Results: After 3 year, the success rate of partial pulpotomy was 86.96%, which is similar as root cannal therapy. Conclusions: The partial pulptomy for caries exposed mature permanent teeth may be an alternative to root canal therapy, and is more consistent with the current concept of minimally invasive and preservation of vital pulp.

Background: The chemical-mechanical removal of caries involves the chemical softening of the infected dentin, following by the mechanical removal of the softened tissue using non-cutting manual instruments. Papacárie® (Fórmula&Ação, Sao Paulo, Brazil) is a product in gel form used for the chemical-mechanical softening of the affected tissue. Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Papacárie®. Methods: Clinical and radiographic evaluations were performed on 14 young permanent molars treated with Papacárie® and restored with glass ionomer cement (VitroMolar, DFL Ind. Com LTDA,Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) 24 months following intervention. Results: Success was achieved in 13 of the 14 cases. Conclusion: Papacárie® was effective in the treatment of carious lesions and constitutes a conservative alternative that offers benefits to patients.

BACKGROUND The vitality of dental pulp is essential for long-term survival of the tooth. Vital pulp therapy (VPT) intends to maintain healthy pulp tissue by eliminating bacteria from the dentin-pulp complex. There are many treatment options for vital pulp therapy in extensively decayed teeth. Pulp capping or pulpotomy procedures rely upon an accurate assessment of the pulp status, and careful management of the remaining pulp tissue. We wanted to evaluate as to whether biodentine total pulpotomy is an effective alternative to conventional endodontic therapy for young permanent teeth. METHODS Full coronal pulpotomy was performed in young permanent molars diagnosed with acute irreversible pulpitis with Biodentine as the pulpotomy medicament. Follow up evaluation was done clinically and radiographically at 3, 6 and 12 months. RESULTS During follow-up periods clinical signs/symptoms were absent including pulpal pain, swelling or presence of sinus and percussion pain. Continuous root development and healing of periapical radiolucency were noticed in the study which were indicative of maintenance of vitality of the pulp. CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this clinical study, it is concluded that total pulpotomy with Biodentine has a promising scope in regenerative approaches in the treatment of carious young permanent teeth.

Clinical Relevance A minimally invasive esthetic treatment can provide longevity and color stability. SUMMARY This clinical case report describes a minimally invasive approach to mask diffuse and demarcated opacities in permanent anterior teeth in an eight-year-old child who was upset with the appearance of her incisors. Clinical examination showed diffuse opacities in teeth 7, 8, 9, and 10, diagnosed as dental fluorosis associated with yellow demarcated opacity in tooth 9 related to molar-incisor hypomineralization. The treatment was based on conservative dentistry using the low-viscosity resin infiltration technique and resin composite restoration in an attempt to mask the lesions. The follow-up time was 24 months.

This study evaluated the stepwise excavation technique in 138 permanent molars with deep carious lesions and incomplete root formation within a 24-month clinical and radiographic follow-up period. In 96.7% of the cases, success was observed (no pain, integrity of restoration margins, absence of radiographic alterations and apexogenesis). The cases of failure (3.3%) were due to the loss of the temporary restoration. In conclusion, the stepwise excavation is a promising technique for permanent teeth with deep carious lesions and incomplete root formation as a minimally invasive approach because it allows the preservation of pulp vitality and occurrence of apexogenesis.

This study aimed to analyze the preoperative factors of immature first molars treated with vital pulp therapy and to find out their correlation in pediatric patients. From May 2014 to January 2020, 523 patients and 1,242 immature first molars were investigated. Factors including age, sex, tooth location, Molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH), caries cavity location, and history of previous restoration were evaluated. As a result of the study, the vital pulp therapy group had 5.56 times more MIH, 3.39 times more mesial cavities, and 8.73 times more distal cavities. In order to avoid vital pulp therapy in immature first molar, early diagnosis and active management of MIH and preventive treatment of mesial and distal caries are necessary after its immediate eruption.

<p><b>Objective:</b> We retrospectively evaluated the results of an edge-to-edge repair (Alfieri stitch) of the mitral valve performed via a transaortic approach in patients who were undergoing minimally invasive aortic valve replacement.</p><p><b>Methods:</b> From January 2010 to September 2010, 6 patients underwent minimally invasive edge-to-edge repair of the mitral valve via a transaortic approach with concomitant aortic valve replacement. The patients were considered to be candidates for this procedure if they were deemed by the surgeon to be high-risk for a double valve procedure and if on preoperative transesophageal echocardiogram the mitral regurgitation jet originated from the middle portion (A2/P2 segments) of the mitral valve.</p><p><b>Results:</b> There was no operative mortality. Mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was 137 minutes, and mean cross-clamp time was 111 minutes. There was a significant improvement in the mean mitral regurgitation grade, with a mean of 3.8 preoperatively and 0.8 postoperatively. The ejection fraction remained stable, with mean preoperative and postoperative ejection fractions of 43.3% and 47.5%, respectively. Follow-up transthoracic echocardiograms obtained at a mean of 33 days postoperatively (range, 8-108 days) showed no significant worsening of mitral regurgitation.</p><p><b>Conclusion:</b> Transaortic repair of the mitral valve is feasible in patients undergoing minimally invasive aortic valve replacement.</p>

Ocular tuberculosis (TB) is an extrapulmonary tuberculous condition and has variable manifestations. The incidence of TB is still high in developing countries, and a steady increase in new cases has been observed in industrial countries as a result of the growing number of immunodeficient patients and migration from developing countries. Choroidal granuloma is a rare and atypical location of TB. We present a case of a presumptive choroidal granuloma. This case exposes that diagnosis can be remarkably challenging when there is no history of pulmonary TB. The recognition of clinical signs of ocular TB is extremely important since it provides a clinical pathway toward tailored investigations and decision making for initiating anti-TB therapy and to ensure a close follow-up to detect the development of any complication.
