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)

Severe tooth loss after root damage caused by predrilled intermaxillary fixation screw: a case report
Abstract
Intermaxillary fixation (IMF) with screws is routinely used as a conservative therapy or to obtain normal occlusion during the surgical procedure of open reduction and internal fixation for treating mandibular fractures. The risk of iatrogenic dental damage caused by interdental drilling is widely known. Several side effects are described, including loss of response to pulp sensibility testing, root fracture, and, loss of the tooth. This is a case report about a young man who had undergone temporary IMF treatment with a single proven root damage. The patient did not appear for follow‐up but he presented 5 years ...

ConclusionWhen bonding and replanting tooth roots after a vertical fracture, the application of EMD was effective in regenerating cementum on root surfaces from which periodontal ligament had been lost in the area around the fracture line and in reducing the incidence of root resorption.
