IJMDS ● www.ijmds.org ● July 2017; 6(2) 1558 Case Report Perforation repair using biodentine: A nobel approach Mukherjee M, Shekhawat K   ABSTRACT Root perforations are one of the many consequences of compromised endodontic procedure. It not only poses a significant problem in treatment outcome but also greatly affects the prognosis if not repaired in time. If it occurs, it allows microbial i...

INTRODUCTION A radicular perforation caused by an inflammatory internal root resorption was present in a maxillary lateral incisor. METHODS The root canal preparation was completed with hand files and thorough irrigation. Calcium hydroxide was placed as a temporary dressing for 10 days. At the second visit, the root canal with resorption lacuna was filled with warm vertical compaction of gutt...

The present report reviews the diagnostic and treatment challenges of a mandibular molar with previous root canal treatment and signs of a procedural mishap, i.e. furcal radiolucency and localized swelling of the gingival margin in which a sinus tract was present. By tracing the sinus tract, it became evident that the lesion originated from the furcation area, not the root apices. This case was...

Calcium hydroxide is used extensively as an intracanal medicament in endodontics for many years. It is used in various clinical situations such as to promote apexification, to repair perforation, to enhance healing of periapical lesions, to control root resorption, and to control exudation in teeth with persistent periapical inflammation. This paper presents a case report in which Ca(OH)2 was u...

For many years, gutta-percha has been the root canal filling material of choice. Chloroform is one of the most efficient solvents widely used for gutta-percha removal in retreatment cases, despite being toxic and carcinogenic. The present case report discusses a chloroform extrusion through an existing perforation to the surrounding periodontal ligament space and subsequent necrosis in supporti...

Many treatment plans require a dental practitioner to maintain the entire labial cortical plate of bone when removing an anterior maxillary tooth. A tooth with an undermined root secondary to an endodontic perforation or internal (Idiopathic) resorption can present a surgical challenge to the general practitioner. This article describes a new technique for extracting a severely undermined anter...

Calcium deposited within a root canal due to exogenous stimuli may hamper root canal treatment. In endodontic treatment, an operating microscope allows the conditions within the root canal to be directly viewed and evaluated. This report describes a case in which an operating microscope was used to facilitate the excision of a calcified structure from within a root canal at an early stage in th...

OBJECTIVES Fast-setting pozzolan cement (Endocem, Maruchi) was recently developed. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of various root canal irrigants on the washout of Endocem in comparison to the previously marketed mineral trioxide aggregate (ProRoot; Dentsply) in a furcal perforation model. MATERIALS AND METHODS ProRoot and Endocem were placed into acrylic molds on moist ...

There were several materials used to seal different types of perforation defects. MTA is one of these restorative materials that is considered the most effective, biocompatible, non-toxic, and non-irritant; promote bone healing and cementum regeneration. The objective of this article was to review and summarize the sealing ability of MTA compared with the other materials used for sealing differ...

The Nasopalatine duct cysts (NPDCs) are the most common developmental, epithelial and non-odontogenic of maxilla. They generally asymptomatic diagnosed on routine clinical or radiographic examination. should however be distinguished from large incisive fossae. On attaining a size, they may cause symptoms like pain itching, root resorption, teeth displacement bone perforation. We report case gia...
