REINFORCEMENT OF FRACTURE RESISTANCE AFTER APEXIFICATION : CASE REPORT

Fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth after apexification with calcium silicate-based materials

OBJECTIVE To compare the fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth filled with an apical barrier of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Biodentine, and calcium-enriched mixture (CEM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-two single-rooted human maxillary central incisors were used. For standardization, the teeth were sectioned 6 mm above and 9 mm below the cementoenamel junction to simulate immatu...

Frey's syndrome after condylar fracture: case report.

Frey's syndrome is the occurrence of hyperesthesia, flushing and warmth or sweating over the distribution of the auriculotemporal nerve and/or greater auricular nerve while eating foods that produce a strong salivary stimulus. Frey's syndrome is also known as auriculotemporal syndrome and gustatory sweating. We present a case of Frey's syndrome after a condylar fracture and its treatment by int...

In vitro effect of fiber reinforcement on fracture resistance of incisal edge composite restorations

Objective: Introduction of fiber-reinforced composites (FRC) greatly enhanced the restoration of fractured anterior teeth. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of fiber reinforcement on fracture resistance of incisal edge composite restorations of variable thicknesses. Methods: Forty extracted sound human maxillary incisors were divided into four groups of 10. Incisal reduction wa...

Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty After an Iatrogenic Subtrochanteric Fracture due to Hardware Removal: A Case Report

Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) after proximal femoral fixation is a challenging procedure due to possible hardware-related complications. Case presentation: A 78-year-old female with hip osteoarthritis had a proximal femoral osteotomy fixed using a blade plate in the same femur 41 years ago. A two-step approach was planned. After a challenging...
