Dental trauma is more common in young patients and its sequelae may impair the establishment and accomplishment of an adequate treatment plan. This paper reports a case of complicated crown-root fracture in a young adult that was treated using adhesive tooth fragment reattachment and orthodontic root extrusion. Considering the time elapsed to follow up, the fracture extension, the amount of rem...

Instrument fracture within the root canal during root canal treatment is an unwanted and frustrating complication. The fractured segment may hinder cleaning and shaping procedures with potential impact on prognosis of treatment. Fracture of endodontic instrument often results from incorrect use or overuse. If breakage occurs clinically, the patient should be informed of the incident and conside...

A longitudinal complicated crown-root fracture of an unerupted permanent incisor following trauma to primary teeth is reported. The development of the affected permanent tooth was not disturbed during a follow-up period of six years. Traumatic injuries to primary teeth can be transmitted to the permanent dentition because of the close relationship between the apices of primary teeth and the dev...

Root fracture has been defined as a fracture involving dentin, cementum, pulp and periodontal ligament. Depending on the level of the fracture line various treatment modalities may be employed by the clinician to promote healing. The following case reports highlight how changes in technique allow for conservative management of horizontal root fractures at different levels. This approach allows ...

Instead of extraction this case report presents an alternative treatment option for a maxillary incisor with a vertical root fracture (VRF) causing pain in a 78-year-old patient. After retreatment of the existing root canal filling the tooth was stabilized with a dentine adhesive and a composite restoration. Then the tooth was extracted, the VRF gap enlarged with a small diamond bur and the exi...

Abstract This case report describes successful long-term conservative management of a cervical root fracture and a complicated crown fracture of the maxillary central incisors in a 12-year-old patient. A mineral trioxide aggregate partial pulpotomy was performed on the maxillary right central incisor, while the maxillary left central incisor was splinted to the neighbouring lateral incisor usin...

Currently calcium hydroxide is often used as an intra-canal medication during root canal treatment. It has a pH of approximately 12.5, and it has antimicrobial activity, tissue-dissolving ability, inhibits tooth resorption and induces repair by hard tissue formation. It has been promoted for intra-canal placement for various endodontic conditions, including apexification, apexogenesis, after tr...

this case report describes the treatment of two immature maxillary central incisors in a 7- year-old female patient. she suffered complicated crown fracture because of trauma, and the root formation was incomplete. white mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) was selected as the pulp-capping material after cervical pulpotomy to preserve the pulp tissue vitality and achieve maturogenesis. follow-up ev...

introduction: this study sought to assess the effects of amperage (ma) and field of view (fov) on intracanal metal post artifacts and the diagnostic parameters for detection of vertical root fracture (vrf) in teeth with intracanal posts. methods and materials: in this diagnostic study, 80 human single-canal teeth were evaluated by cone-beam computed tomography (cbct). nickel chrome cast posts w...
