Traumatic injuries to maxillary anterior teeth are a common finding in children because of falls while playing. Sequelae of trauma to dental hard tissue include broken, lost, aspirated and swallowed teeth. One additional hazard is the embedding of fractured tooth fragments in the soft tissues, particularly in the lip. A 10-year-old male patient complained of pain in the lower lip. There was a h...

Root resorption (RR) is the loss of dental hard tissues as a result of clastic activities. Internal inflammatory root resorption (IRR) is a type of RR characterized by progressive loss of tooth substance starting from the root canal wall. IRR is usually asymptomatic, slowly progressing, and detectable upon routine radiographic examination or by the clinical sign of a ‘pink spot’ when the IRR in...

The aim of this study was an assessment of the overall optical characteristics changes in volume of the dentin, after the diffusion of the chemical components included in the sealer throughout the endodontic space, in order to demonstrate the discoloration effect of the endodontic sealer on tooth crown of a recently extracted maxillary premolar. Thin sections were studied using the polarized tr...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Fluorosis is defined as a sort of enamel hypocalcification. Clinical features of fluorosis vary from thin white lines on the enamel to chalky and opaque enamel. The enamel may be destroyed after tooth eruption. Various prevalence rates have been reported in different populations. Major contributing factors are temperature, altitude and hygienic trends. The aim of this study ...

Composite restorative materials represent a class of unique modern biomaterials since they replace biological tissue in both appearance and function. The early formulations were characterized by problems such as polymerization shrinkage, improper marginal adaptation, inappropriate proximal contact, discoloration or staining also secondary caries. need to improve said properties achieve adequate...
