Biomechanical and biochemical factors are involved in bone remodeling. Occlusal loading is a well-known mechanical modulator of alveolar bone remodeling. Neuropeptides, such as vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and calcitonin generelated peptide (CGRP), have been described within the biochemical bone regulators. In this study, the influences of occlusal loading on the alveolar bone remodeling...

Progressive replacement resorption following delayed replantation of avulsed teeth has proved to be an intractable clinical problem. A wide variety of therapeutic approaches have failed to result in the predictable arrest of resorption, with a good long-term prognosis for tooth survival. Bisphosphonates are used in the medical management of a range of bone disorders and topically applied bispho...

PURPOSE The present study was undertaken to evaluate and assess, through questionnaire, the knowledge of mothers with different education levels regarding the emergency management of avulsed permanent teeth. BACKGROUND The replantation is the preferred treatment for avulsed tooth. The prognosis depends upon the handling of the periodontal ligament and speed of replantation. Mothers are common...

Periodontal disease is an inflammatory response to the bacterial biofilm which leads inflammation of periodontal structures and further results in loss attachment bone severe cases mobility teeth, eventually may cause exfoliation teeth. Treatment option for excessive mobile teeth extraction replacement can be carried out with fixed partial denture or implant placement. In patients financial con...

AIM This is to assess the priority in tooth avulsion: replantation as quickly as possible and deferred endodontic treatment, or replantation and elimination of every irritating stimulus for the periodontal ligament. The objective is to establish a univocal protocol by analysing and comparing the various components of these therapeutic procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS STUDY DESIGN 20 patie...

Root fracture is defined as a fracture involving the dentin, cementum, and pulp. Most fractures occur in the maxillary anterior teeth between the ages of 11 and 20 years old. The treatment for root fracture in permanent teeth involves the reduction and fixation of the displaced coronal segment. When signs of pulp necrosis or inflammatory root resorption are present, root canal therapy should be...

Following avulsion and replantation, teeth are at risk for infection and infection related resorption (IRR). Severe discolorations of tooth crowns and cervical root fractures are common. This study presents data on endodontic related complications of avulsed teeth replanted following an extraoral endodontic treatment. Periodontal aspects will be discussed in the second part of the present publi...

This study evaluated microscopically the effects of root surface treatment with three different solutions in delayed rat teeth replantation. Central incisors from 30 rats (Rattus norvegicus, albinus Wistar) were extracted and left on a bench for 6 h. The pulps were extirpated and root canals were irrigated with 1% sodium hypochlorite. After endodontic treatment, the root surfaces of all teeth w...
