Aim: To fulfil esthetic restoration demand of a badly mutilated maxillary anterior tooth. Background: The life span endodontically treated teeth has been extraordinarily upgraded by proceeding with improvements made in endodontic treatment and restorative systems. It accounted for that an enormous number are re-established to their unique function with the utilization intra-radicular instrument...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Unresolved controversy exists concerning the remaining coronal tooth structure of anterior endodontically treated teeth and the best treatment option for restoring them. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of post, core, crown type, and ferrule presence on the deformation, fracture resistance, and fracture mode of endodontically treated bovine inc...

Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth obturated with gutta percha using four different root canal sealers (MTA Fillapex, AH plus, Real Seal SE and Tubli Seal). Materials and methods: Sixty freshly extracted single rooted human mandibular premolar teeth were used. After standardizing the root length to 14 mm, the teeth were chemo mechani...

fabricated and prefabricated. In the late 19th century, the “Richmond crown,” a single-piece post-retained crown with a porcelain facing, was engineered to function as a bridge retainer. Richmond crown is not post and core system but it is customized, cast able post and crown system as both are single unit and casted together. It is easier to make cast metal restorations with the aid of posts f...

Cosmopolitan cities have become a pool of migrants from different parts of the world, who carry their cultural beliefs and superstitions with them around the globe. Canine gouging is a kind of infant oral mutilation (IOM) which is widely practiced among rural population of Africa where the primary tooth bud of the deciduous canine is enucleated. The belief is that the life threatening illnesses...

A prospective in vivo investigation was conducted to determine radiographic and clinical factors associated with contemporary nonsurgical endodontic retreatments. Approximately 1,100 failing endodontically treated teeth were screened to determine an appropriate treatment plan. Using magnification, 337 consecutive retreatment cases were evaluated and treated. The vast majority of the retreated c...

Nonhealing periradicular pathosis associated with endodontically treated teeth is customarily managed by revision (retreatment). Root-end resection is less often the first choice of treatment. Objectives. This prospective randomized study compared the outcome of retreatment and surgical intervention in root cana[ treated teeth with nonhealing periradicular pathosis. Study design. One such tooth...

Avulsion is a serious injury which causes damage to dental and supportive tissues, ranging from 1-16 % among dental injuries and it mostly occurs in maxillary incisors. This report presents a case of replantation of a traumatically avulsed central incisor. The left central incisor of an 8 year-old boy with open apex was avulsed and was left in unclean and dry conditions. Tooth was replaced afte...
