Tooth loss or damage, such as that caused by dental caries and periodontal disease, can cause fundamental problems with oral functions. The development of regenerative therapy for tooth tissue repair and whole-tooth replacement is currently considered a novel treatment with the potential to fully recover tooth function. Several mesenchymal stem cell-like cell types have been identified in oral ...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of the present study was to evaluate mandibular talon cusps distribution from the comprehensive literature search and proposal of new classification Material and Methods: The study was a review of articles published in the English language from January 1960 to December 2013. The PubMed/MEDLINE/Google Scholor databases were searched electronically using 'talon cusp', 'dens...

This study evaluated, by clinical analysis, the hard tissue response following treatment of ligature-induced peri-implantitis defects in 5 dogs. The mandibular premolars were removed from both sides of the jaw. After 3 months of healing, two titanium implants were placed on each side of the mandible. Following abutment connection, 3 months later, experimental peri-implantitis was induced by the...

PURPOSE The objective of this study was to elucidate the role of collagen membranes (CMs) when used in conjunction with bovine hydroxyapatite particles incorporated with collagen matrix (BHC) for lateral onlay grafts in dogs. METHODS The first, second, and third premolars in the right maxilla of mongrel dogs (n=5) were extracted. After 2 months of healing, two BHC blocks (4 mm×4 mm×5 mm) were...

introduction: because of prevalence of permanent tooth extraction and it’s related complication and due to bether alternative ways of tooth repair, this stady is done in health centers of karaj province to evaluate the etiologies and related risk factors. methods: survey was done by cross-sectional method on 240 patients. after extraction of data/factors like etiology of tooth remoral/ age/ sex...

Some clinical case reports have shown that immature permanent teeth with periradicular periodontitis or abscess can undergo apexogenesis after conservative endodontic treatment. A call for a paradigm shift and new protocol for the clinical management of these cases has been brought to attention. Concomitantly, a new population of mesenchymal stem cells residing in the apical papilla of permanen...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess the associations between dental treatment in the early primary dentition and later treatment in the primary and permanent teeth. METHODS Delta Dental Plan of Michigan insurance claims data on 9,886 children who were born in 1990 and were covered by dental insurance from 1990-1998 were used. Risk ratios (RR), screening test measures of sensitivit...

autogenous tooth transplantation (att) is a simple and reasonable choice for replacing the missing teeth when a proper donor tooth is available. this report presents a case of successful att of a maxillary right third molar for replacement of mandibular right second molar with a concomitant endodontic-periodontal disease. the mandibular second molar was believed to be hopeless due to a severe d...

Introduction Hypoplasia is defined as a quantitative defect of enamel visually and is histomorphologically identified as an external defect involving the surface of the enamel and associated with reduced thickness of enamel (Ozturk et al, 2004).Turner's hypoplasia usually manifests as a portion of missing or diminished enamel, generally affecting one or more permanent teeth in the oral cavity. ...
