Ever wonder how reparative dentin is formed at the molecular level? 🔬

The pulpal response to mild/moderate caries begins with the sprouting of sympathetic and somatosensory fibers in the dentin near the caries site, clinically producing dentinal hypersensitivity. Neuropeptides such as SP, CGRP, NKA, and NPY are released, inducing a reversible inflammatory reaction with vascular changes of vasoconstriction and vasodilation. PBF is not affected due to activation of the para-sympathetic system, and VIP is released as a compensatory mechanism of vasodilation for control of the vascular tone of the pulp. SP, CGRP, and NPY stimulate endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and inflammatory cells to induce angiogenesis, a mechanism by which hypoxic areas in the pulpal tissue are controlled. These neuropeptides, through their NK1, CGRP1, and NPY Y1 receptors, bind to odontoblasts and fibroblasts to induce them to produce reparative dentin as a defense mechanism.

Did you know that scientists can already clone entire teeth in mice using tooth germs? Tooth germs surgically implanted on a biodegradable scaffold will erupt as a bioengineered tooth, and cloned and natural rodent teeth share some similarity in their specific size, shape, and anatomical structure. Here the natural mouse incisor on the left has uniform size and shape, whereas the bioengineered mouse incisor on the right is misshapen due to its different origins and developmental environment.

Of course the excitement about cloning teeth is tempered by the health risk of the implanted tooth germ migrating from the site of bone implantation and developing a cloned tooth somewhere else (eg, in the tongue), but this migration risk can be reduced by anchoring the stem cells within a tissue construct prior to surgical implantation.

Science like this can be transformative with widespread possibilities, but it can also be dangerous when applied recklessly, which is why ongoing investigations into stem cells and regeneration of the dentin-pulp complex are so fascinating.

The process of restyling a smile begins with an esthetic analysis. ☝️

Restoring a smile in complex cases requires extensive experience on the part of the clinician and technician. The all-digital workflow helps a great deal in performing a complete esthetic remodeling of the smile.

The complexity of the case is due to the change of so many morphological parameters. In addition, extension can make a case complex, which is decided based on the dental exposure when the patient smiles.

Historically, clear aligners did not have the potential to address Class II skeletal discrepancies. Growing patients with mandibular retrognathia would first be treated with the dreaded headgear or a functional appliance to correct the Class II skeletal discrepancy, and only once the buccal occlusion was corrected to Class I would clear aligners be used in a second phase of treatment for alignment, leveling, and finishing.

That all changed when Align Technology introduced Invisalign with Mandibular Advancement (Invisalign MA). This appliance resembles a clear aligner with the addition of buccal projections called “precision wings” placed on the buccal surface of both aligners. These precision wings interlock in occlusion to posture the mandible forward for Class II correction.

In her new and bestselling second edition of Clear Aligner Technique, Sandra Khong Tai shows how to set up the digital software plan for clear aligner mandibular advancement and use this appliance to achieve Class II correction.

Medicine in Dentistry: Hemorrhagic infarction 💡

About 10% to 15% of all strokes are caused by intracerebral hemorrhage. One of the most important risk factors is arterial hypertension. In this case, a predamaged, usually small vessel ruptures. The escaping blood causes an increase in intracranial pressure, with less space available for the brain due to the volume of escaping blood. As a result of increased intracerebral pressure, compression of surrounding brain tissue occurs, leading to loss of function. The typical localization (loco typico) of hypertensive-related intracerebral hemorrhage is the basal ganglia. Characteristic symptoms include sudden headache, as well as nausea and vomiting, in addition to contralateral limitations of motor function or sensitivity.

☝️ Basically, it is not possible to conclude from the clinical deficit whether an ischemic or a hemorrhage-related infarction event is present, which has immediate consequences for acute diagnosis and therapy. In addition to arterial hypertension, oral anticoagulation (eg, by means of phenprocoumon or new oral anticoagulants) and the regular use of acetylsalicylic acid (eg, aspirin) are risk factors for intracerebral hemorrhage. If these patients experience fall events with subsequent neurologic deficits, a possible intracerebral hemorrhage should always be considered.

About another 5% of all strokes are caused by subarachnoid hemorrhage. Typical symptoms include the peracute onset of severe headache (thunderclap headache), nausea and vomiting, and meningeal irritation (painful neck stiffness). In most cases, subarachnoid hemorrhage is caused by congenital or acquired aneurysms that carry a risk of rupture.

Medicine in Dentistry: Diabetes mellitus and caries 💡

It has been demonstrated in animal models that diabetes not only aggravates periodontal disease but also increases the prevalence of caries. ☝️ However, the situation is not so clear in clinical studies. Patients with good metabolic control (HbA1c levels in the normal range) can be expected to have a lower risk of caries, whereas patients with poorly controlled diabetes (very high HbA1c levels) can be expected to have an increased risk of caries.

🔎 An overview of risk factors for caries in type 1 diabetes mellitus is shown in the figure. To reduce the risk of caries, patients should be advised not to consume short-chain carbohydrates too often (less than three times per day).

The most challenging part of single-tooth replacement in the esthetic zone can be atraumatic flapless tooth extraction. This is because the buccal bone plate is extremely delicate and prone to injury during tooth removal.

💡 Clinicians must use the proper armamentarium for tooth extraction. It is critical that the supracrestal gingival fibers are severed using sharp dissection with a surgical scalpel before finebeak pliers or forceps are used to gain purchase on the root surface.

👉 A rotational movement is recommended for tooth removal in lieu of buccolingual luxation, which could fracture the buccal bone plate.

🔎 Illustrations: Extraction of single-rooted anterior teeth.

Peri-implant soft tissue management: Periosteal flaps 💡

In cases of major horizontal and vertical bone defects, especially in edentulous spans of limited extent, such as in the area of the maxillary lateral incisors, tension-free suturing of the flaps can be challenging due to insufficient amounts of mucosal tissue. This is particularly true when regeneration must take place beyond the bony peaks of adjacent teeth.

Flap tension inexorably leads to necrosis of the marginal tissues and premature exposure of the membrane. To overcome this problem, Triaca et al described the periosteal flap (or periostioplasty) in 2001. With this technique, the buccal flap is lengthened and a simultaneous increase in the thickness of the crestal soft tissue is achieved.

Surgical technique:
1. A normal periosteal releasing incision is made with a no. 15C Bard-Parker blade at the base of the flap, extending from the right to the left vertical incision (Fig a).
2. Two accessory vertical incisions are made at the edentulous ridge to form a quadrangular periosteal flap (Fig b).
3. With the primary flap pulled coronally, a partialthickness periosteal flap is elevated with two tweezers (Fig c).
4. The periosteal flap is sutured under the palatal flap 3 to 4 mm from its margin with horizontal mattress sutures, leaving the knot on the outer aspect of the palate (Fig d).
5. The primary buccal flap is sutured over the periosteum to the palatal flap with horizontal mattress and simple sutures (Fig e).

Veneer preparation for discolored teeth 💡

The restoration of single teeth with intrinsic discolorations for which nonvital bleaching is contraindicated are the most challenging anterior composite restorations to perform. Adequate preparation of such teeth is one of the many restorative parameters that make up the key to success.

The depth of the preparation should be adjusted according to the intensity and depth of the intrinsic discoloration. Although overpreparation adversely affects the retention of the restoration due to the great amount of enamel tissue loss, it is mandatory for a better esthetic outcome.

‼️ Clinical Tip: The cervical and proximal preparation borders should be extended subgingivally and behind to the contact points for the preparation of discolored teeth.
