Root perforations are an undesired complication of endodontic treatment which result in loss of integrity of the root, and adversely affect the prognosis of the treatment. Recently, Iranian mineral trioxide aggregate [Root MTA] has been introduced as an ideal material for perforation repair. In this article a successful repair of strip root perforation of mandibular molar using Root MTA is pres...

Tooth root perforation is an artificial communication between the oral environment and the supporting structures in the external root surfaces which may causes serious implications that can even lead to extraction, however if diagnosed early and with appropriate management of the perforation will lead to long term survival of the tooth. A PubMed search was carried out of which 121 results were ...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare the accuracy of conventional intraoral (CI) radiography, photostimulable phosphor (PSP) radiography, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) for detection of strip and root perforations in endodontically treated teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mesial and distal roots of 72 recently extracted molar were endodonticall...

Aim. To report on the endodontic and periodontal management of a root and alveolar process perforation in a maxillary front tooth. Summary. Perforation during access cavity preparation is an infrequent complication during endodontic therapy, leading to potential periodontal tissue breakdown. The case described the two-stage management of a massive facial root perforation requiring a connective ...

Background: The location of the endodontic perforation has shown a strong correlation with healing process and successful outcome. aim this study was to determine prevalence iatrogenic perforations according their affected root surfaces. Materials methods: Over period 7 years, 100 cases were recorded from digital radiographs each case. classified following criteria: (1) – cervical, furcation,...

This article presents the successful surgical management of a failed mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) orthograde obturation of a tooth with a history of impact trauma and perforated internal root resorption. A symptomatic maxillary lateral incisor with a history of perforation due to internal root resorption and nonsurgical repair using MTA was referred. Unintentional overfill of the defect wit...

INTRODUCTION A radicular perforation caused by an inflammatory internal root resorption was present in a maxillary lateral incisor. METHODS The root canal preparation was completed with hand files and thorough irrigation. Calcium hydroxide was placed as a temporary dressing for 10 days. At the second visit, the root canal with resorption lacuna was filled with warm vertical compaction of gutt...

Root perforations are undesired complications of endodontic treatment which result in loss of integrity of the root and further destruction of the adjacent periodontal tissues. In recent literature mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been regarded as an ideal material for perforation repair. In this case iatrogenic perforation was observed in a maxillary central incisor. It was not possible to...

BACKGROUND Iatrogenic complications such as accidental perforation of the root or the floor of the pulp chamber may occur. CASE REPORT Patient was referred for root canal retreatment of the mandibular left second molar with periapical lesion evidenced through radiographic examination. During post removal, iatrogenic perforation occurred at the mesial face of the distal root. After clinical lo...
