Teeth being exposed to multiple iatrogenic complications during root canal treatment are usually extracted and replaced with a dental implant. This case report presents the treatment of a mandibular canine that had multiple endodontic complications using an intentional replantation technique. The case was showing swelling and pain, unusual canal anatomy, periapical lesion, broken instruments, a...

A number of root-repair materials have been developed by various manufacturers, including Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) that has adequate biological and physical properties of a good root repair material [1,2]. MTA has been used for apexification, perforation repair, root resorption, and as a root-end filling material. The main ingredients of MTA are silicate oxide, tricalcium oxide, tricalc...

Perforations might occur due to carious lesions, tooth resorption or they might be iatrogenic during endodontic treatment or in most cases they might occur during post space preparation. CASE REPORT: A 31-year-old female patient presented with a complaint of chronic pain on tooth #30 during last 6 months and sensitive to bite since a few days ago. There was a mild swelling on the gingival tissu...

introduction the materials used in sealing furcating perforation can have considerable effects on controlling the ensuing inflammation and periodontal repair. the objective of the present study was to carry out a histological comparison between the effects of pro-root, cold ceramic, glass-ionomer cement, and root mta on the healing of periodontal tissues after furcal perforation in dog's teeth....

iatrogenic perforation of the furcation area in multi-rooted molars during preparation of the access cavity can potentially lead to tooth extraction. the present case report describes the nonsurgical endodontic management of an extensive pulp chamber floor perforation in a first mandibular molar with calcium enriched mixture (cem) cement. the perforation was chemically cleaned and then physical...

AIM To determine the efficacy, safety, and clinical value of a novel surgical procedure involving the blunt perforation of the ligamentum flavum (LF) during endoscopic interlaminar lumbar discectomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a prospective study of 50 patients (27 males, 17-51 years of age) undergoing lumbar discectomy for single segment L4/L5 or L5/S1 disk herniation were grouped into th...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of two electronic apex locators (Smarpex and NovApex) in detecting apical perforation. MATERIALS AND METHODS After access cavity preparations, the working length was determined by the first examiner before and after perforation with a stereomicroscope by introducing a K-file size 10 into the canal and size 25 K-file up to the per...

Root perforation connect root canal spaces with periodontal tissues. The connection may occur as result of iatrogenic causes during root canal treatment (at the level of floor of the coronal cavity or at different levels of the root) or during prosthetic treatment of post canal trioxide aggregate(MTA), composite resin, glass ionomer cement and calcium hydroxide, most of these penetration. (1) A...

UNLABELLED Root perforation is an unwanted incident which may occur at any stage of endodontic treatment and can adversely affect tooth prognosis. AIM To compare the recovery rate after treatment of root perforations in the interradicular area of the molars, using two different materials: MTA and ceramic nanoparticles mineral cement DiaRoot BioAggregate, by a clinical-radiological and statist...

Background : Root perforation results in the communication between root canal walls and periodontal space (external tooth surface). It is commonly caused by an operative procedural accident or pathological alteration (such as extensive dental caries, external internal inflammatory resorption). The diagnosis of pulp and/or periapical tissue previous to important predictor prognosis. Case A femal...
