Treating pathological defects that are caused by resorption in teeth can be challenging. The task is complicated further if the resorption extends beyond the restrains of the root. The aim of this report is to describe a case of extensive internal tunneling resorption (ITR) associated with invasive cervical resorption (ICR) in a maxillary right lateral incisor and its nonsurgical treatment. A 2...

CASE REPORT Root canal treatment was performed in a mandibular right second premolar with a periapical lesion and apical resorption. The root canal was prepared with K-files using the step-back technique and 3% NaOCl as an irrigant; during obturation gross overfilling of gutta-percha occurred. The tooth was permanently restored with a post and core along with a crown. Although healing of the pe...

internal inflammatory root resorption (iirr) is a rare condition of the root canal and if it is left untreated it may lead to destruction of the surrounding dental hard tissues. odontoclasts are responsible for this situation which can potentially perforate the root. many initiating factors have been mentioned for iirr, almost all causing chronic inflammation in the vital pulp. iirr is usually ...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the quality of root fillings, coronal restorations, complications of all root-filled teeth and their association with apical periodontitis (AP) detected by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images from an adult Turkish subpopulation. MATERIAL AND METHODS The sample for this study consisted of 242 patients (aging from 15 to 72 years) with 522 endodontica...

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an inherited syndrome characterized by mucocutaneous telangiectases that commonly involve the tongue, lips, fingers, and conjunctiva. While root resorption has been reported in association with central hemangiomas of bone, the association of HHT with external cervical root resorption has not been described to date. We report a case of a 57-year-old...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate, radiographically, the root forms of maxillary incisors in a sample of patients seeking orthodontic treatment in Nairobi, Kenya. DESIGN A retrospective study of maxillary incisor root forms based on periapical radiographs. SETTING A private dental clinic in Nairobi, Kenya. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study comprised 393 maxillary incisors in 100 consecutive subjects (5...

AIM To address the indications, contraindications, surgical procedure, complications following treatment, factors influencing the results and success rate of intentional replantation procedure. BACKGROUND Intentional replantation is extraction of a tooth to do extraoral root canal therapy, curettage of apical lesion when present, and its replacement in its socket. It has been proposed as an a...

The effect of experimental tooth movement on nerve fibers immunoreactive to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and to protein gene product (PGP) 9.5 were studied, as well as the coincidence of these responses with changes in blood vessel density and distribution in the periodontal ligament (PDL) and pulp of young Wistar rats. The first right maxillary molar was moved mesially by an orthodon...

Invasive cervical resorption (ICR) is an uncommon phenomenon (0.1%), however, it represents a challenge to the structural and functional integrity of dentogingival junction, as well risk for survival affected tooth. They are characterized by their location invasive character, being able appear in any tooth permanent dentition. It shows up after damage insertion apparatus, leaving pulp without p...

a s p i bstract he purpose of this study was to evaluate, radiographcally, whether there is similarity in the apical root esorption found in endodontically treated teeth and ntreated teeth when they are submitted to orthodontic reatment. From 2,500 treatment records examined, 16 atients were selected who had a maxillary central ncisor treated endodontically before initiation of the rthodontic m...
