The effect of antagonist tooth contact on the biomechanical response of custom‐fitted mouthguards
ConclusionsMouthguards are efficient at decreasing the stress and strain values on the tooth in front of an impact reaching more than 90% of shock absorption. A mouthguard with balanced occlusion and maximum number of contacts with mandibular anterior teeth should be considered because it reduces mouthguard displacement. (Source: Dental Traumatology)

In vitro assessment of the tooth staining potential of endodontic materials in a bovine tooth model
ConclusionsThe presence of bismuth oxide in calcium silicate cements was not shown to be a reliable predictor for tooth discoloration. Antibiotic pastes without tetracycline derivatives do not guarantee the color stability of teeth. (Source: Dental Traumatology)

Risk factors for traumatic dental injuries in the primary dentition: concepts, interpretation, and evidence
In conclusion, increased overjet is undoubtedly associated with TDI in the primary dentition. As behavioral factors may be targeted by preventive strategies, their role on TDI occurrence should be clarified in future cohort studies. Clinicians should understand the terms and measures described in studies on risk factors to properly apply knowledge and benefit patients. (Source: Dental Traumatology)

Pulse oximetry: a useful test for evaluating pulp vitality in traumatized teeth
ConclusionsPO can be extremely useful for the assessment of dental pulp status in traumatized teeth, particularly when these teeth do not show signs of PN and do not respond to cold tests. (Source: Dental Traumatology)

Optimal heating condition of mouthguard sheet in vacuum –pressure formation: part 3 styrene‐based thermoplastic elastomer
ConclusionThis study demonstrated that for sufficient softening, it was necessary to heat the sheet to obtain a sag of 10 mm or more, and that the mouthguard thickness decreased as the sag increased. (Source: Dental Traumatology)

Influence of working model position on the formation of a pressure ‐formed mouthguard
ConclusionsThe results of this study suggest that pressure‐formed mouthguards could be fabricated effectively by positioning the center of the working model 15 mm posteriorly from the center of the pressure former. The position of the working model should be considered carefully when forming a mouthguard. (Source: Dental Traumatology)

Non suicidal self injury resulting in dental trauma in an adolescent
ConclusionNSSI may be an etiologic or risk factor for dental trauma in intellectually normal adolescents as seen in the present case. Self hitting, intrapersonal factors or self directed factors and impulsivity are more likely to predispose an adolescent toward performance of such behavior. (Source: Dental Traumatology)
