RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Regenerative endodontic procedures provide conditions for the continuity of apical formation and increase of the dentin wall thickness, being a useful technique to resume root development of necrotic teeth with incomplete apex. This study aimed to evaluate the coronal discoloration promoted by a new intracanal calcium silicate-based dressing and compare it with other intracanal dressings used in regenerative endodontic procedures. METHODS: Sixty bovine incisors were prepared to simulate teeth with incomplete apexes and divided according to the intracanal dressing used: triple antibiotic paste-double antibiotic paste-DAP, calcium hydroxide associated with 2% chlorhexidine gel, calcium hydroxide associated with saline solution, and Bio-C Temp. As control, no dressing was performed. The intracanal dressings remained in the simulated root canal for 21 days. Luminosity (ΔL) and color difference (ΔEab and ΔE00) were evaluated using long-term (1 year) spectrophotometric analysis. The results were analyzed using the ANOVA test with Tukey post hoc with a significance of 5%. RESULTS: Triple antibiotic paste showed the highest values of ΔEab and ΔE00 and lowest values of ΔL (P < .05). Bio-C Temp showed higher ΔEab than the other groups from 6 months (P < .05), higher ΔE00 and lower ΔL after 1 year (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS: Bio-C Temp induced noticeable coronary discoloration after the 1-year analysis.

BACKGROUND/AIM: Dental trauma (DT) occurs frequently in children and adolescents. Therefore, understanding the factors associated with its occurrence in these age groups is important to establish specific preventive measures. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships of lip coverage, overjet, and open bite to dental trauma in Brazilian children and adolescents. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The review protocol was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42020156290) and the bibliographic search was performed in nine electronic databases until July 2020. The studies included were observational, performed in Brazil, with healthy children and adolescents (0-19 years old), and without the restriction of date or language. Two reviewers assessed the individual risk of bias of the eligible studies with a standardized checklist. The meta-analyses were stratified by dentition stage and age range using fixed or random effects, odds ratio (OR) as the effect measure, and 95% confidence interval. The heterogeneity across studies was assessed with the I² test and the GRADE approach assessed the certainty of evidence. RESULTS: The search presented 2493 initial results, from which 55 met the eligibility criteria and were included. Most studies (67%) presented a low risk of bias and were published between 2000 and 2019. Children and adolescents with inadequate lip coverage are 1.86-2.36 times more likely to suffer from DT, while those with increased overjet are 1.94-3.11 times more likely. Children with primary dentitions and anterior open bites are 1.76 (95% CI: 1.20-2.59) times more likely to suffer from DT. The certainty of evidence varied from very low to moderate. CONCLUSIONS: Inadequate lip coverage, increased overjet, and anterior open bite are associated with the occurrence of dental trauma in Brazilian children and adolescents.
