Significance of Cervical Enamel Projections in Periodontal Treatment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Periodontitis is primarily a dental plaque induced inflammatory disease. Anatomic factors such as cervical enamel projections, enamel pearls, and developmental grooves are often associated with advanced, localized periodontal destruction. Enamel projections and pearls are mostly associated with molars. Enamel projections in the furcation areas of molars have no true attachment and are therefore highly susceptible to the creation of a deep periodontal pocket. A close association has been reported in the past between enamel projection and furcation involvement. Here is a article which is a review of cervical enamel projections and its management.

Enamel pearls and cervical enamel projections on 2 maxillary molars with localized periodontal disease: case report and histologic study.
Presented here is an unusual case of teeth with aberrant enamel. One small and 3 large enamel pearls were identified in 2 maxillary third molars of a patient. One long enamel projection was connected to one of the large enamel pearls, along with 2 short cervical enamel projections. The ectopic enamel was associated with advanced localized periodontal destruction. After extraction, the molars we...

Introduction Some anatomical conditions can promote plaque retention, making difficult its removal and facilitating incidence of periodontal lesions [1]. Therefore, the tooth anatomy can play an important role in the periodontal disease etiology, acting as a predisposing factor [2]. Several anatomical root characteristics have been studied and related to the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment o...

Background: Periodontitis is primarily a dental plaque induced inflammatory disease, local factors that facilitate the accumulation of bacteria may contribute to the progression of the disease. Periodontal disease is not a single entity nor is there a single causative factor that elicits a consistent periodontal response. Dental abnormalities such as palatal grooves and cervical enamel projecti...
متن کاملCharacteristics of the molar surface after removal of cervical enamel projections: comparison of three different rotating instruments.
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare tooth surface characteristics in extracted human molars after cervical enamel projections (CEPs) were removed with the use of three rotating instruments. METHODS We classified 60 extracted molars due to periodontal lesion with CEPs into grade I, II, or III, according to the Masters and Hoskins' criteria. Each group contained 20 specime...

This human clinical trial evaluated the clinical and histologic response to recombinant human platelet-derived growth factor-BB (rhPDGF-BB) delivered in bone allograft for the treatment of advanced Class II furcation defects. Three mandibular and one maxillary molar furcation defects were treated: Two received 0.5 mg/mL and two received 1.0 mg/mL rhPDGF-BB, in all cases mixed with DFDBA. Clinic...
