A clinical report of an erupted immature primary molar in a newborn is presented. The occurrence of a natal or neonatal molar can be considered a rare event since the majority of cases described are incisors. Clinical appearance, location, histological and radiographical examinations were used to establish the identity oF the lesion, The literature related to natal and neonatal teeth is reviewe...

Injury to an immature permanent tooth may result in cessation of dentine deposition and root maturation leaving an open root apex and thin dentinal walls that are prone to fracture. Endodontic treatment is often complicated and protracted with an uncertain prognosis frequently resulting in premature tooth loss. Postnatal stem cells, which are capable of self-renewal, proliferation and different...

Dental pulp is a soft connective tissue that surrounded by highly mineralized tissues such as enamel, dentin, cementum and provides homeostasis of the tooth. Pulp specialized with limited regeneration ability due to anatomical arrangement postmitotic structure odontoblastic cells. Classical endodontic treatment based on removing infected root dentin filling disinfected canal cavity bioinert mat...

BACKGROUND/AIM Immature endodontically treated teeth may require reinforcing to reduce the risk of root fracture. This study assessed the fracture resistance of simulated immature tooth roots reinforced with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) or two composite resin (CR) materials. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred extracted roots of mature human maxillary incisors were decoronated and sectioned ...

Mucosal fenestration is a clinical condition where tooth root apices are visible in the oral cavity due to loss of overlying alveolar bone and mucosa. Mucosal fenestration mostly affect maxillary incisors. The present case series reports two cases where patient reported with complaint of unesthetic appearance because of exposed roots of maxillary anterior teeth which on radiographic examination...

Non vital immature teeth with open apex and thin dentinal walls are difficult to treat via conventional endodontic therapy. Calcium hydroxide has been conventionally used in such cases for a long time. However, due to its various shortcomings, MTA (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate) became the material of choice. A new bioactive dentin replacement material, Biodentine, can act as an ideal dentin subst...

Root canal treatment of teeth presenting immature development is a great challenge for both the patient and the professional. The thinness of the root canal walls of immature teeth may lead to root fracture and thus the outcomes of such treatments are uncertain. Revascularization is based on root canal decontamination followed by the induction of blood migration from the periapical tissues and ...

Introduction Regenerating a tooth completely in human oral cavity is not achieved by current studies yet. Here, we have conceived a man-induced method to construct a teeth germ which might be used to regenerate a tooth in vivo. This idea was generated by traits of the development of the compound odontoma, a benign tumour of tooth malformation. This is a kind of developmental tooth malformation,...
