Postoperative pain after emergency pulpectomy with or without photobiomodulation in symptomatic irreversible pulpitis A randomized clinical trial Sérgio Alves Guida Freitas-Júnior, Meire Coelho Ferreira, Amanda Palmeira Arruda Nogueira, Cláudia de Castro Rizzi, Wallace Vieira Mendes, Etevaldo Matos Maia-Filho, Giulio Gavini, Renata Grazziotin-Soares, Ceci Nunes Carvalho Scientific Reports, 2026 To evaluate postoperative pain following emergency pulpectomy in permanent teeth diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and to compare outcomes with or without adjunctive low-level laser therapy (LLLT). This parallel, randomized, single-blind clinical trial included 70 patients with permanent teeth diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups (n = 35 each): the experimental group received gallium-aluminum-arsenide laser therapy (808 nm, 100 mW), while the control group received no laser intervention. Postoperative pain was assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS-10) and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Bite sensitivity was evaluated before and after emergency treatment. Demographic characteristics and analgesic intake were recorded. The primary outcome was postoperative spontaneous pain assessed at multiple time points. Secondary outcomes included bite sensitivity and analgesic intake. Time-dependent reductions in postoperative pain were observed in both groups. Inter-group comparisons showed statistically significant differences at isolated time points (12 and 24 h), with higher pain scores in the experimental group; however, these differences did not translate into a significant overall treatment effect. Longitudinal analysis accounting for repeated measures demonstrated a significant effect of time (p = 0.001), while treatment group was not a significant determinant of postoperative pain. Effect estimates are presented with 95% confidence intervals. Within the limitations of this pragmatic emergency-care study, adjunctive low-level laser therapy was not associated with a reduction in postoperative pain in permanent teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.
Oral health and quality of life among people living with HIV based on evidence from a Brazilian population Camila Dayla Melo Oliveira, Marcos Vinícius Marinho Silva Sousa, Bianca de Jesus Montenegro da Silva, Felipe do Nascimento Lima, Eduardo Coelho Ferreira, Jefferson R. Tenório, Cyrene Piazera Silva Costa, Meire Coelho Ferreira, Thalita Santana Discover Public Health, 2026 Oral health plays an important role in overall well-being, particularly among people living with HIV (PLHIV), who may be more vulnerable to oral diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the oral health condition of PLHIV and its impact on quality of life (QoL). A cross-sectional study was conducted between PLHIV and healthy individuals (reference group [RG]). Demographic, socioeconomic, habits, and clinical data were collected. The Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index and the Community Periodontal Index (CPI) were collected, along with an assessment of oral lesions. For the assessment of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) was utilized. Chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests were employed. Linear regression analyses were performed separately for the HIV and control groups to assess the association between oral health conditions and quality of life (QoL). A total of 67 PLHIV and 67 individuals in RG were evaluated. There was a higher frequency of smokers, alcohol users, illicit drug users, and individuals with difficulty accessing dental care among PLHIV (p < 0.001). The HIV group showed a significantly higher mean DMFT index, higher occurrence of periodontal pockets, and higher CPI means compared to the RG (p < 0.001). In the PLHIV group, 22 (36.4%) presented some oral manifestation, with candidiasis being the most frequent (n = 9/13.5%). The mean OHIP-14 score was 15.57 (± 13.02) in the RG and 18.72 (± 1.29) in the PLHIV group, considered moderate in both groups. In PLHIV, bleeding on probing was associated with higher OHIP-14 scores (β = 49.0; p = 0.015). In the reference group, dental calculus was associated with higher OHIP-14 scores (β = 13.0; p = 0.013). OHRQoL did not differ between groups despite worse oral health in PLHIV; however, periodontal conditions were associated with poorer OHRQoL within each group.
Perception of Parents Regarding Oral Health-Related Quality of Life of Children With Epidermolysis Bullosa: A Cross-Sectional Study Lara Ribeiro Feitosa Duailibe, Alanna Barros de Arruda, Patrick Pereira Garcia, Cyrene Piazera Silva Costa, Meire Coelho Ferreira International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, 2026 Background Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare disorder characterized by recurrent blisters on the skin and oral mucosa, occurring spontaneously or after minor trauma. Aim Evaluate the oral health status of children with EB and parents' perceptions of its impact on their child's and family's quality of life. Design A cross‐sectional study with age‐matched groups was conducted with 42 children (14 with EB and 28 without EB), aged 2–10 years, along with their parents/guardians. Participants were recruited from a reference center and a school clinic. Data demographic and socioeconomic were collected. Oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) was measured using the Parental‐Caregiver Perceptions Questionnaire (P‐CPQ—short form) and Family Impact Scale (FIS). Oral examination included evaluation of gingival condition, malocclusions, dental caries, and oral lesions. Statistical analysis included Chi‐square, Mann–Whitney, t ‐test, and Kruskal–Wallis tests ( α = 5%). Results Children with EB had significantly higher gingival and plaque indices ( p = 0.001; p < 0.001). Parents reported worse OHRQoL for children with EB, especially in “oral symptoms” and “functional limitations” ( p < 0.001). FIS scores were similar between groups ( p > 0.05). Oral lesions were significantly associated with poorer OHRQoL ( p = 0.001). Conclusions Oral lesions were responsible for impacts experienced in children's daily lives, with significant negative effects occurring through symptoms.
Prevalence of Dental Erosion in Children from Schools and Dental Clinics: A Cross-Sectional Study Daniella Vidigal Fernandes da Silva Guimarães, Daniela Malagoni Fagundes, Jacqueline Vitória do Nascimento Azevedo, Rayenne Augusta Mota Ferreira, Gustavo Garcia Castro, et al. Pesquisa Brasileira Em Odontopediatria E Clinica Integrada, 2026 ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the prevalence of erosion in permanent teeth and associated factors. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 208 children aged 8 to 11 years old, from public schools and dental clinics (both private and public). Data collection included a demographic and socioeconomic questionnaire, and questions related to dental erosion, as well as an oral clinical examination. Dental erosion (DE) in permanent teeth was assessed using the Tooth Wear Evaluation System (TWES). Chi-square test, and univariate and hierarchical multivariate Poisson regression were performed. Results: The overall prevalence of DE was 26%, being more prevalent in children from dental clinics (61.1%; p=0.003), those who consumed soft drinks (62%; p=0.016), and with attrition (51.9%; p=0.049). The sample of children from dental clinics, soft drink consumption, and the frequency of consuming acidic foods and beverages 2 to 3 times a day were suggestive factors for explaining DE (PRadjust=1.864; CI95% =1.072-3.242; PRadjust=2.027; CI95%=1.040-3.951; PRadjust=1.803; CI95%=1.171-2.775). The age of 11 years was revealed as a protective factor against DE (PRadjust=0.420; CI95%=0.196-0.899). Conclusion: Dental erosion was associated with dental clinic samples, consumption of soft drinks, and the frequency of consuming acidic foods and beverages.
Postoperative pain and quality of life after the use of different endodontic sealers in asymptomatic molars: a randomized clinical trial Patrícia Santos Oliveira, Meire Coelho Ferreira, Natália Gomes de Paula, Wallace Vieira Mendes, Thieny Gouveia dos Santos, Giulio Gavini, Leonardo Hunaldo dos Santos, Suellen Linares Lima, Renata Grazziotin-Soares, Ceci Nunes Carvalho Clinical Oral Investigations, 2026 Objective To compare postoperative pain intensity and incidence after root canal obturation using AH Plus or EndoSequence BC in asymptomatic molars. Materials and methods This randomized clinical trial included 152 patients and was conducted in accordance with CONSORT guidelines. Teeth were randomly allocated according to the sealer used. Postoperative pain was assessed using validated pain scales at 6, 12, and 24 h, and at 2 and 3 days after obturation. Quality of life was evaluated using the OHIP-14 questionnaire. Bite sensitivity and analgesic intake were also recorded. Results Postoperative pain intensity was very low in both groups at all time points. The AH Plus group showed slightly higher pain intensity within the first 24 h compared with the BC sealer group ( p < 0.05). No differences were observed between groups regarding pain incidence, bite sensitivity, or impact on quality of life ( p > 0.05). Analgesic intake was higher in the AH Plus group. A weak positive correlation was observed between pain intensity and functional limitation domains of the OHIP-14 (physical disability and social impairment). Conclusions Overall, both sealers resulted in very low postoperative pain. Although AH Plus showed slightly higher pain intensity compared with BC, both sealers demonstrated a similar risk of pain and comparable impact on quality of life. Clinical relevance Postoperative pain after root canal obturation was minimal with both AH Plus and EndoSequence BC sealers. Minor differences in pain intensity were observed during the early postoperative period, with a slightly faster reduction in pain reported for EndoSequence BC, and no differences in pain risk or impact on quality of life.
Regenerative endodontic procedure using Emdogain: a case series Karime Tavares Lima da Silva, Meire Coelho Ferreira, Renata Grazziotin-Soares, Letícia Gomes Dourado, Claudia de Castro Rizzi Maia, Gisele Rodrigues da Silva, Ceci Nunes Carvalho Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2025 BACKGROUND: , Basel, Switzerland) is an enamel matrix derivative and has an important role in odontogenesis, by potentializing pulp tissue repair and regeneration, as showed in biological studies. Nevertheless, the benefits of using Emdogain as a scaffold in clinical regenerative endodontic procedures has not been demonstrated and is not yet fully understood. The aim of this report was to show three clinical cases that had different preoperative conditions and underwent pulp regenerative procedures under an identical clinical protocol. This report also aimed to show the value of using Emdogain to guide angiogenesis and the healing process by reporting clinical and radiographical results. This is a pioneering study on the use of Emdogain in regenerative endodontic procedures in humans. CASES PRESENTATION: This report is a retrospective description of clinical findings from three regenerative treatments conducted under an identical protocol in two appointments using Emdogain as a scaffold. The three young Brazilian patients, aged 8, 8, and 12 years old (one female and two male), are from São Luís city, state of Maranhão. All three patients identify as Pardo ethnicity with brown skin color, come from low-income backgrounds, and had necrotic immature permanent teeth. Quantitative assessments of crown shades of treated teeth were determined with VITA Easyshade® Advance 4.0 spectrophotometer (VITA Zahnfabrik, Bad Sackingen, Germany) at baseline to 24-month follow-up. Self-reported pain was measured using the visual analogue scale (VAS) at the time of treatment (shortly after induction of bleeding into the canal) and at 7 day following the procedure. At 12 months, radiographic lesions were resolved. At 24 months there were apical closures, and the three teeth remained in function without symptomatology or signs of failure. All cases had the root length increased and the dentin wall thickened. One case presented radiographic images suggestive of scattered calcified zones in the root canal lumen. CONCLUSION: Emdogain may be beneficial as a scaffold in regenerative endodontic procedures. The following outcomes were noted at 24-month follow-up: continuity of root formation, thickening of the root dentin walls, and closure of the root apex.
Postoperative pain and quality of life assessment after endodontic preparation with rotary and reciprocating endodontic instruments: randomized clinical trial Wallace Vieira Mendes, Suellen Nogueira Linares Lima, Jacqueline Vitória do Nascimento Azevedo, Hadda Lyzandra Austríaco Leite, Patrícia Santos Oliveira, Meire Coelho Ferreira, Ceci Nunes Carvalho Trials, 2025 BACKGROUND: Postoperative pain is a common complication following endodontic treatment, often caused by acute inflammatory responses in the periapical tissues. Several factors contribute to this, including inadequate instrumentation, apical extrusion of debris during canal preparation, and other aspects of the procedure. Advances in technology have led to the development of nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments that have shown potential to reduce postoperative discomfort. The purpose of this study was to evaluate postoperative pain in patients undergoing endodontic treatment with different NiTi systems. METHODS: This randomized clinical trial will include 128 patients between the ages of 18 and 50 years with a diagnosis of pulp changes in molars without pain or radiographic lesions requiring endodontic treatment. Patients will be randomized to receive root canal preparation with the rotary ProTaper Ultimate rotary system or the Reciproc Blue reciprocating single-file system. The primary outcome will be the intensity of postoperative pain measured by a numerical rating scale (NRS-10 cm) in 24 h postoperatively. Secondary outcomes will include the intensity of postoperative pain measured by a visual analog scale (VAS-0-10 cm) at 6 and 12 h and spontaneous pain, occlusion sensitivity, and quality of life, assessed by the OHIP-14 questionnaire. DISCUSSION: Our null hypothesis is that there will be no significant difference in postoperative pain between the two systems. The results of this study will provide information on the incidence and intensity of postoperative pain after instrumentation of root canal instrumentation with different NiTi systems and may help improve patient outcomes and quality of life.

Adhesive system containing Bioglass 45S5 particles in teeth affected by molar-incisor hypomineralization and quality of life impact: study protocol for a randomized clinical trial Kamila Nogueira Borges da Costa, Nicole Paiva Veras, Ceci Nunes Carvalho, José Roberto de Oliveira Bauer, Alessandro Dourado Loguercio, Andres Felipe Millan Cardenas, Fabiana Suelen Figuerêdo de Siqueira, Meire Coelho Ferreira Trials, 2025 BACKGROUND: Molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is a systemic condition characterized by a qualitative defect in the dental enamel. It primarily affects the first permanent molars and is often associated with the permanent incisors. Resin restorations in MIH-affected teeth consistently show worse results than those in normal teeth because of the ultrastructure of hypomineralized enamel, which compromises adhesion. The incorporation of bioactive particles into adhesives is a promising option for inducing remineralization. This study protocol describes a randomized clinical trial evaluating restorative treatment using an adhesive system containing 45S5 bioactive glass for MIH-affected teeth. METHODS: Restorations will be performed on the upper or lower first permanent molars in children with MIH aged 6-12 years. The inclusion criteria will include MIH teeth with post-eruptive enamel fractures that compromise the middle third of the dentin, with at least two surfaces of hypomineralized enamel near the cavity, without caries, pulpal, or periradicular involvement. Before treatment, children will complete the Child Perceptions Questionnaire 8-10 and 11-14 (CPQ8-10 and CPQ11-14). The teeth will be divided into two groups: a control group (commercial self-etching adhesive system: Clearfil SE Bond (CF) Primer + Bond) and an experimental group (CF Primer + experimental Bond using 10% 45S5 bioglass [Bond 45S5 10%]). Restorations will be made using composite resin, and quality will be assessed using digital radiographs (interproximal and periapical), intraoral photographs, and epoxy resin replicas. Clinical evaluation of the restorations will be performed immediately following the procedure (baseline) and after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months using the World Dental Federation (FDI) criteria. The impact of the treatment on the quality of life will be assessed after 3, 6, and 12 months through the re-administration of CPQ8-10 and CPQ11-14. DISCUSSION: 45S5 bioactive glass is capable of enhancing the effect of materials on bone and dental structures, promoting remineralization. The results of this study may aid in the clinical management of patients with MIH, given the challenges of treating sensitive and compromised teeth and the difficulty in achieving long-term restorative success while addressing the individual patient needs.

Impact of oral health conditions on the quality of life of hospitalized cardiovascular patients: evidence from Brazil Natália de Castro Corrêa, Meire Coelho Ferreira, Aldair Darlan Santos-de-Araújo, Rodrigo Costa Cutrim, Rudys Rodolfo De Jesus Tavarez, Lyrian Lorena Freire Lira, Plínio da Cunha Leal, Robinson Sabino-Silva, Adriana Sanches Garcia-Araújo, Daniela Bassi-Dibai BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2025 BACKGROUND: The oral health directly impacts the quality of life of individuals with different health conditions. To the best of our knowledge, no studies with this objective and design have investigated the impact of this condition on quality of life among patients with cardiovascular diseases of varying types and severities, with or without comorbidities, in Brazil. OBJECTIVE: To identify the main oral conditions that impact the quality of life of individuals with cardiovascular diseases admitted to a highly complex hospital. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study with individuals of both sexes hospitalized in a ward and a cardiac intensive care unit, where sociodemographic and clinical data were collected. An oral bedside inspection was carried out, and the Oral Health Impact Profile questionnaire with 14 questions (OHIP-14) was applied to assess the impact of oral health on quality of life. The Mann-Whitney test was used to compare OHIP-14 and oral condition. Univariate and multivariate Poisson regression evaluated the factors suggestive of an impact on health-related quality of life. RESULTS: Eighty patients were examined, and 68.8% were men, 73.75% had tooth loss. Edentulous individuals (p < 0.001), crown fractures (p < 0.001), with the use of dental prostheses (p = 0.016), had worse quality of life concerning oral health. The factors most strongly associated with this negative impact were coronary artery disease (adjusted PR = 0.026) and the use of prosthesis (adjusted PR = 0.009). CONCLUSION: Edentulism, use of prosthesis, and crown fractures were the clinical indicators of oral health that most impacted the quality of life of hospitalized individuals with cardiovascular disease. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
Effects of silver diamine fluoride in human dentin: A systematic review of in vitro studies Andressa Cardoso Amorim, Allyne Jorcelino Daloia de Carvalho, Mary Stefany Andrade Carvalho, Meire Coelho Ferreira, Veridiana Resende Novais European Journal of Oral Sciences, 2025 The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the effects of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) on dentin in permanent teeth. Eight databases (PubMed, SciELO, Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, Science Direct, LILACS, and Livivo) and three “gray literature” sources (Open Access Theses and Dissertations [OATD], Open Grey, and ProQuest) were used. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta‐Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed, and methodology quality was assessed using the QUIN tool. The review included in vitro studies investigating the effect of 38% SDF on demineralized permanent dentin. The primary outcomes were findings from energy‐dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) approaches, while secondary outcomes included findings from hardness testing, micro‐computed tomography (micro‐CT), and scanning electron microscopy. From 16,630 results, 17 studies met the eligibility criteria. After treatment with 38% SDF, significant increases were observed in the levels of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) in dentin. Higher mineral/matrix ratios and a significantly lower amide I/HPO2− ratio were identified, using FITR, in groups treated with SDF. Restoration of dentin crystallinity in groups treated with SDF, with sharp peaks for silver chloride and silver, were shown using XRD. Micro‐computed tomography revealed reduced lesion depth, while scanning electron microscopy showed smoother surfaces and partial occlusion of tubules. Risk of bias was moderate in 13 studies and high in four. Overall, 38% SDF reduces demineralization, preserves mineral content, increases the levels of Ca and P, and enhances mineral/matrix ratios, demonstrating potential for managing demineralization.
