Investigating In situ Expression of Neurotrophic Factors and Partner Proteins in Irreversible Pulpitis
In situ assessments of neurotrophic factors and their associated molecular partners have not been explored to date particularly in humans. The present investigation aims to explore the expressional dysregulation of neurotrophic factors (NGF, BDNF and NT4/5), their receptors (TrkA and TrkB) and their modulators (USP36 and Nedd4-2) directly in irreversibly inflamed human pulp tissues.

Prevalence of and factors associated with vertical root fracture in a Japanese population: an observational study on teeth with isolated periodontal probing depth
This study examined teeth with an isolated periodontal probing depth (PD) as an indicator of VRF. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of vertical root fracture (VRF) and non-VRF among teeth with an isolated probing depth (PD) ≥ 5 mm, the secondary aim was to assess factors associated with VRF by comparing the teeth with and without VRF in the Japanese population.

Long-Term Clinical and Radiographic Observation of Previously Regenerated Treated Incisors Subjected to Orthodontic Movement. A Case Series.
With an increasing number of anterior traumatized teeth treated with REPs nowadays, orthodontic movement of such teeth is expected to become a common scenario in everyday clinical practice. However, little is known about the clinical implications and the response capacity of regenerated tissues to orthodontic forces. The aim of this clinical article was to report on four cases of REP-treated immature anterior permanent teeth subjected to orthodontic forces, and to describe the long-term response of the regenerated apical and intracanal tissues.

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps aggravate apical periodontitis by stimulating osteoclast formation
Neutrophil Extracellular Traps (NETs) have been described as structures composed of DNA and proteins, such as elastase and myeloperoxidase, which are able to kill bacteria extracellularly. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the role of NETs in bone resorption observed in pulp infection-induced apical periodontitis in mice. (Source: Journal of Endodontics)
