Severe traumatic injuries to immature teeth often cause damage to periodontal ligament as well as dental pulp; pulp necrosis, root resorption and subsequent apical lesion are common consequences. This article reports the surgical management of an infected immature maxillary central incisor associated with a gigantic periradicular lesion and severe root resorption. The tooth had a history of tra...

o bjectives: correct determination of working length is an important step for suc- cess of endodontic therapy. conventional radiography has limitations in providing the accurate location of apical foramen. for this reason, electronic apex locators (eals) were developed to shorten the treatment time and decrease the radiation dose. the aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of root zx ea...

Introduction: Periapical infection of primary molars affects the development permanent teeth (premolars). Therefore, present study was conducted to test null hypothesis in children aged 4-10 years with chronic apical periodontitis (CAP) molars. Materials and methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional on 185 panoramic radiographs healthy CAP total 256 infected (144 females, 112 males) were analyz...

External root resorption is a feared complication during orthodontic procedures. It can affect both the apex, but also the cervical zone of the roots subjected to orthodontic forces for tooth movement and can compromise the future of the involved teeth. The patient must be informed about the risks of resorption as a consequence of orthodontic treatment. The detection of resorptions can occur du...

The apical third of most root canals shows some degree of curvature, which is important in cleaning/shaping and obturation during root canal treatment. The present study evaluated the effect of master cone size on the apical seal of severely curved root canals. Thirty-eight mesial roots of human mandibular first molars were prepared using the crown-down technique. All samples were mature roots ...

INTRODUCTION Short Root Anomaly (SRA) is an uncommon disease and a challenge for orthodontic treatment as it tends to increase the risk of root resorption. OBJECTIVE Assess the current status of the diagnosis, etiology and orthodontic management of teeth with SRA, and present case reports. METHODS A literature review was carried out in PubMed, SciELO, LILACS, Scopus and Web of Science datab...

Background: Accurate and early diagnosis of internal root resorption is essential for determining the outcome treatment prognosis. Several digital processing algorithms have been introduced resorption. The aim present study was to evaluate effect gamma values in detection cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Methods: A total 45 healthy extracted single-rooted teeth were selected study. ...

external inflammatory root resorption (eir) represents a challenge in endodontic practice. eir commonly occurs after dental trauma that results in periodontal ligament injury, pulp necrosis and subsequent infection.  treatment of eir is based on disinfecting the root canal system through chemomechanical procedures and then filling it with calcium hydroxide or triple antibiotic paste. dental tra...

Lymphangiomatosis with Gorham-Stout syndrome is a rare disease involving two pathological processes: Infiltration of nonmalignant, aberrant lymphatic vessels into soft and hard tissues and bone lysis. This report will describe a patient suffering from Lymphangiomatosis with external dental cervical resorption that mimics caries lesions. The rate of resorption was found to be related to disease ...
