EndodonticsStabilization of avulsed tooth requires 1-2 weeks of splinting. This short period is recommended because: 1) Brief splinting allows periodontal ligament healing without ankylosis, 2) Extended splinting (>2 weeks) increases risk of replacement resorption and ankylosis, 3) Early mobilization promotes functional healing of periodontal ligament fibers, 4) Studies show optimal healing occurs with flexible splinting for 7-14 days, 5) Longer periods compromise the natural healing process and increase complications. Rigid or prolonged splinting should be avoided.

The distal root of the mandibular first molar is often thinner on the buccal aspect due to its concavity/shape, making the buccal wall the most common site for perforation during post-space preparation.

Alcoholic cirrhosis is characterized by the presence of extensive scar tissue (fibrosis) and regenerative nodules within the liver. This results from chronic alcohol-induced damage to hepatocytes and the subsequent wound healing response.
