Crown fractures account for the majority of dental traumas. If handled properly, prognosis of the pulp following a traumatic crown fracture can be favorable. The present case report focuses on the treatment of a traumatized mature permanent incisor with exposed pulp that was treated with the novel technique of miniature pulpotomy using calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement. One-year follow-up r...

Prosthodontic treatment, especially restorations of fractured teeth in small animals, has been the subject of many veterinary dental analyses in relation to techniques of endodontic treatment, preparation and cementation, as well as the general principles of prosthodontic treatment. The purpose of this paper is to present a previously undescribed method of all-in-one crown and root prosthetic r...

Objective- Due to its specific position, the canine tooth is more exposed to the injuries, fractures and pulp necrosis. In these cases, the damaged teeth are usually pulled out. The root of this tooth is very large and sometimes extends over the premolar teeth. To extract it, a large amount of alveolar bone tissue should be harvested. Moreover, the cavity remains very large, wh...

Restoration of crown-root fractures with the involvement supracrestal attached tissues represents difficulties for clinicians, as these types require a multidisciplinary approach adequate treatment and successful prognosis. Depending on location fracture, different approaches, such periodontal crown lengthening procedures, rapid orthodontic or surgical root extrusion tooth extraction followed b...

BACKGROUND Acrylic teeth have long been used in the treatment of a complete denture. One of the primary advantages of acrylic teeth is their ability to adhesively bond to the denture base resins. Although the bonding seems satisfactory, however, bond failures at the acrylic teeth and denture base resin interface are still a common clinical problem in prosthodontics. The purpose of this study wa...

AIM Malignant Infantile Osteopetrosis is a hereditary pathology caused due to osteoclastic cells which are incapable of carrying out their functions and hence do not resorb osseous tissue where required. Thus the consequence is that during growth phase, the medullary cavities and nervous tissue cavities do not undergo sufficient growth and the corresponding organs do not develop adequately. The...
