this report describes a case of a 7 years old girl who suffered from complicated crown fracture of right mandibular central incisor because of a bicycle accident . for the tooth partial pulpotomy with calcium hydroxide, capping was performed in order to achieve apexogenesis and the tooth was restored with a double-seal of glass ionomer cement and composite resin. the patient was reviewed over 8...

Chipped and broken functional teeth are common in modern sharks with serrated tooth shape. Tooth damage consists of splintering, cracking, and flaking near the cusp apex where the enameloid is broken and exposes the osteodentine and orthodentine. Such damage is generally viewed as the result of forces applied during feeding as the cusp apex impacts the skeletal anatomy of prey. Damage seen in s...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the movement of anterior teeth during retraction with a force applied through the assumed centre of resistance (CRe).Twenty-two subjects with a Class I or II malocclusion were included. Each subject had the two upper first premolars extracted, resulting in a symmetrical extraction space of at least 3 mm between the upper laterals and canines. The force was ...

CASE-1 A 26-year-old male visited the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics after referral from Oral Surgery for opinion regarding maxillary right lateral incisor. Diagnosis established in Oral Surgery was of an infected cyst in relation to tooth #12 and the treatment suggested was enucleation and curettage. Patient’s dental history revealed anterior trauma at 10 years of age and...

Aim: Previous studies have demonstrated that orthodontic forces may injure dental pulp tissue via the apical foramen. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of various cytokines in pulp tissues of root apex after orthodontic tooth movement and compare the amount of internal root resorption in vital and pulp less rat teeth. Methods: Upper right first molars of 7-week Wistar ...

this report describes a case of an eight years old girl who was treated for complicated crown fracture of right maxillary central incisor because of a sport accident. for the tooth total pulpotomy was performed in order to achieve apexogenesis and the tooth was restored with a composite resin. the patient was reviewed over 10 years. at first the tooth showed continued root development and compl...

Introduction: Inflammatory external root resorption in the permanent dentition is a dental complication, usually associated with inflammation of bacterial/endodontal origin. This case report describes nonsurgical root canal retreatment of a mandibular molar with inflammatory external root resorption (IERR) and open apex with calcium enriched mixture (CEM) cement. Case Report: Radiographically, ...

Background Avulsion of the permanent teeth is one of the most serious oral health problems among active children and adolescents. Traumatized patients require immediate and correct treatment in order to restore damaged structures and function that have major impact on daily patient's life. As a result, proper guidelines and fast treatment methods are necessary. This case report discusses treatm...

Numerous apex locator studies have been performed. Generally, they use only stainless-steel hand files for testing purposes. Today many clinicians use both stainless-steel and nickel-titanium files during the treatment of a case. Given the widespread use of nickel-titanium files, a comparison of the accuracy in determining length with an apex locator using stainless-steel and nickel-titanium fi...
