Regenerative Endodontic Treatment

Traumatic dental injuries are particularly common in school-age children and often occur in the anterior region. Process management of cases is possible with alternative treatments according to the root development levels. This case series is aimed to present the treatment and 2-year follow-up of permanent anterior teeth with traumatic dental injuries. Case 1: An 8-year-old patient, who had a bicycle accident 20 days earlier, was diagnosed with extrusion of #31. Due to late admission to the clinic, no repositioning procedure was applied to the tooth. Regenerative endodontic treatment was performed. During the radiological follow-up, the apex was closed in the 12th month; however, it was observed that obliteration started in the root canal at the 24th month. The case is still being followed up at regular intervals. Case 2: A 13-year-old patient, who had a traffic accident 3 days prior, was diagnosed with subluxation in #11, and a root fracture was detected in the apical third of #21. In #21, root canal treatment was applied to the coronal part of the fragments. After the diagnosis of pulp necrosis in #11 in the 2nd month of the follow-up period, root canal filling was applied. During the follow-up period, no pathology was detected and no granulation tissue was formed between the fragments in #21. In traumatic dental injuries, long-term follow-up, well-timed endodontic treatments, and material selection play an important role in success. With regenerative endodontic treatment, successful results can be obtained even in treatments applied in late-admitted patients.

Aim: Traumatic dental injuries occur frequently in children. Treatment and follow ups are important to avoid short and long term complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of sequelae in the permanent anterior teeth following the trauma in their predecessors in the period of 2005 to 2011. Methods: This study was performed retrospectively according the data from the records of 79 children (53 boys, 26 girls), who were treated for anterior deciduous tooth trauma. Of the 79 affected children (186 teeth), 35 (91 teeth, 22 boys and13 girls) were available for the follow-up examination. Kappa coefficient was calculated for inter-examiner reliability. Descriptive statistics including percentage and mean values were also calculated. Results: Sequelae were detected on 45(49.5%) of 91 successors of the traumatized deciduous teeth and enamel hypoplasia and/or discoloration was observed in 14 (31.1%) teeth. Eruption was disturbed in 14 (31.1%). In 13 teeth (28.9%) crown and root malformation, in three teeth (6.7%) only crown and in one tooth (2.2%) only root malformation was detected. Most frequent sequela of successors were observed after the intrusive luxation of the deciduous teeth (33%). Crown-root malformations of the successor teeth were most frequently occurred after the trauma at the age of 0 to 2 (61.53%). Conclusions: Early diagnosis and treatment of primary dental injuries and routine clinical and radiological follow up would minimize the sequelae which were observed in permanent successors..

Multiple Vertebral Fractures

AbstractDenosumab discontinuation is associated with rapid reversal of bone turnover suppression and with a considerable increase in fracture risk, including a risk for multiple vertebral fractures (MVF). Long-term follow-up of patients who sustained MVF after denosumab discontinuation has not been reported. This case-series was aimed to provide a long-term follow-up on the management and outcome of denosumab discontinuers who initially presented with multiple vertebral fractures. Denosumab discontinuers were identified from a computerized database of a large healthcare provider. Baseline and follow-up clinical, laboratory, and imaging data were obtained from the computerized database and electronic medical records. The post-denosumab discontinuers MVF patients consisted of 12 women aged 71±12. Osteoporotic fractures were prevalent before denosumab discontinuation in 6 of the patients. The majority received bisphosphonates before denosumab. MVF occurred 134±76 days after denosumab discontinuation. The patients were followed for a median of 36.5 (IQR 28.2, 42.5) months after MVF. Two patients passed-away. Two patients suffered recurrent vertebral fractures. Following MVF, patients were treated inconsistently with denosumab, teriparatide, oral, and intravenous bisphosphonates, in various sequences. Two patients underwent vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty. This long-term follow-up of real-world patients with MVF following denosumab discontinuation reveals that management is inconsistent, and recurrent fractures are not uncommon. It calls for clear management guidelines for patients with MVF after denosumab discontinuation and for special attention to this high-risk group.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) are still often disappointed with the current treatments offered and there is a clear demand for more effective options. Since the late 1990s there has been a revival in the use of radiotherapy (RT) for different benign diseases, including HS. During the past 20 years one case series and some scattered case reports have described promising results of RT. <b><i>Objectives:</i></b> To evaluate the long-term efficacy of RT in early-stage HS. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A postal survey-based long-term follow-up with simple factual questions of partly retrospective and partly contemporary characteristics was performed. Sixty-four patients (96 axillae), diagnosed with mild to moderate HS were irradiated with a orthovoltage unit with 100 kV, 3 mm Al or 200 kV, 0.5 Cu filtering, respectively. Four to six biweekly fractional doses ranging from 0.75 to 1 Gy up to a total dose of 6 Gy in one series, and in chronic cases followed by four daily fractions of 2 Gy up to a total dose of 14 Gy, were given. Late treatment toxicity and the rate of remission of the disease were evaluated. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The overall response rate of the survey was 64.1% with 40.6% (26/64) valid, complete questionnaires. In total, 40 axillae were irradiated in these 26 patients. After a median follow-up of 40 years (range 32–52) complete remission of the lesions occurred in 34 of the 40 sites (85%). None of the 26 patients with 40 irradiated sites reported adverse effects at the time of the survey. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> RT appears to be an effective treatment for early and mild HS in the majority of patients. In this case series, no side effects were reported after a median follow-up period of 40 years.

Abstract Background and study aims We previously reported a case series of our first 182 colorectal endoscopic submucosal dissections (ESDs). In the initial series, 155 ESDs had been technically feasible, with 137 en bloc resections and 97 en bloc resections with free margins (R0). Here, we present long-term follow-up data, with particular emphasis on cases where either en bloc resection was not achieved or en bloc resection resulted in positive margins (R1). Patients and methods Between September 2012 and October 2015, we performed 182 consecutive ESD procedures in 178 patients (median size 41.0 ± 17.4 mm; localization rectum vs. proximal rectum 63 vs. 119). Data on follow-up were obtained from our endoscopy database and from referring physicians. Results Of the initial cohort, 11 patients underwent surgery; follow-up data were available for 141 of the remaining 171 cases (82,5 %) with a median follow-up of 2.43 years (range 0.15–6.53). Recurrent adenoma was observed in 8 patients (n = 2 after margin positive en bloc ESD; n = 6 after fragmented resection). Recurrence rates were lower after en bloc resection, irrespective of involved margins (1.8 vs. 18,2 %; P < 0.01). All recurrences were low-grade adenomas and could be managed endoscopically. Conclusions The rate of recurrence is low after en bloc ESD, in particular if a one-piece resection can be achieved. Recurrence after fragmented resection is comparable to published data on piecemeal mucosal resection.

Objectives: Penile fracture with concomitant complete urethral disruption is an uncommon urologic disorder. Data about the treatment and outcome measurements of this condition are scarce in the literature. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the long term urinary and sexual functions of patients with penile fracture associated with complete urethral injury after immediate surgical reconstruction. Patients and methods: Twelve patients met our inclusion criteria and were included in this retrospective case series study; however, one was lost during follow-up. Patient's medical records were reviewed and all patients were interviewed for clinical evaluation. Urinary function was assessed by history, uroflometry and retrograde urethrography, while, sexual function was assessed by questionnaire (Sexual Health Inventory for Men) and penile Doppler for patients with erectile dysfunction. Results: Patients’ mean age was 32.3 ± 7.5 years (range 21-43) and the mean follow-up period was 72.6 ± 45.4 months (range 14-187). Vigorous sexual intercourse was the main cause in 91% of our patients. No serious long term complications was found. Only 1 patient (9%) suffered from anterior urethral stricture, 1 patient (9%) complained of weak erection, 3 patients (27%) had a palpable fibrosis and 2 patients (18%) reported a slight penile curvature during erection. Ninety one percent of all our patients maintained their normal urinary and sexual functions. Conclusion: On the long term follow-up, most of the patients maintained their normal erectile and voiding functions with no harmful long-term complications. We advocate immediate surgical intervention and reconstruction of both corpora cavernous and urethra as a first line treatment for those patients.
