APEXOGENESIS OF TRAUMATIZED PERMANENT INCISORS WITH OR WITHOUT TOOTH FRAGMENT

Apexogenesis and revascularization treatment procedures for two traumatized immature permanent maxillary incisors: a case report

Traumatic injuries to an immature permanent tooth may result in cessation of dentin deposition and root maturation. Endodontic treatment is often complicated in premature tooth with an uncertain prognosis. This article describes successful treatment of two traumatized maxillary central incisors with complicated crown fracture three months after trauma. The radiographic examination showed immatu...

Traumatized permanent incisors in children.

Post-traumatic apexogenesis of immature non-vital permanent incisors.

Injury to an immature permanent tooth may result in cessation of dentin deposition and root maturation leaving an open root apex and thin dentinal walls that are prone to fracture. Endodontic treatment is often complicated and protracted with an uncertain prognosis frequently resulting in pre-mature tooth loss. There are several advantages of promoting apexogenesis in immature teeth with open a...

Ankylosis of traumatized permanent incisors: pathogenesis and current approaches to diagnosis and management.

Ankylosis is a known complication of replanted or severely intruded permanent incisors and can be diagnosed by the characteristic sound emitted when the tooth is tapped. The ankylosed incisor demonstrates a lack of physiologic mobility and, later, radiographic evidence of replacement resorption. If the patient is pre-adolescent or adolescent at the time of trauma, infraocclusion relative to adj...

Mandibular midline supernumerary tooth associated with agenesis of permanent central incisors: a diagnostic conundrum.

Concomitant hypo-hyperdontia is a rare mixed numeric anomalous condition. The presence of this condition in the same area of dental arch and specifically in the mandibular anterior region is reported very infrequently. This case report presents a case of 20 years old male with congenitally missing permanent mandibular central incisors in conjunction with a mandibular midline supernumerary tooth...
