Amelogenesis imperfecta is an autosomal dominant disorder. It is a group of hereditary diseases showing abnormal enamel density and crown malformation. This clinical report describes the oral rehabilitation of a young adult diagnosed with a variant of hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta with multiple impacted teeth and skeletal class III malocclusion. The treatment procedures of teeth extractio...

In recent years, the skeletal anchorage through miniscrews has expanded the treatment options in orthodontics (Yamaguchi et al., 2012). We hereby present a modified method for tooth extrusion for cases where crown-lengthening surgery is contraindicated for aesthetic reasons. This modified method uses three orthodontic appliances: a mini-implant, an orthodontic wire, and a bracket. The aim of th...

We report a case of nonendodontically treated first upper premolar crown root fracture in which the palatal cusp fracture extended below the cementoenamel junction. Reattachment of the palatal cusp in its original position by acid-etch and flowable composite allowed the creation of a standard access opening as in an intact tooth, avoiding apex location errors and contamination of the root canal...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the effectiveness of guided bone regeneration (GBR) carried out with xenogenic bone substitute (Bio-OssTM) and collagen resorbable membrane (Bio-GideTM) to improve gingival smile (GS) in patients with excessive vertical maxillary growth (EVMG). METHODS Twelve healthy women aged between 20 and 49 years old (mean age of 26 years), with 5 mm or more of gingival exp...

Background: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has gained worldwide acceptance in the field of dentistry, because it provides definite images form slices single roots which can accurately measure crown and root lengths all teeth including premolars. Crown have its applications surgical extrusion lengthening cases tooth wear. Aim: To document frequency crown-root ratio (using CBCT images) long...

Novel-design bonded porcelain restorations, the so-called Type IIIA BPRs, represent a reliable and effective procedure when restoring large parts of the coronal volume and length in the anterior dentition. While traditional treatment approaches involve the removal of large amounts of sound tooth substance (with adverse effects on the pulp, gingivae and crown biomechanics, as well as serious fin...

This case report describes the multidisciplinary management of subgingival horizontal crown-root fracture of an immature permanent maxillary central incisor in a 10-year-old boy. After removal of the fractured fragment, pulpotomy was performed within 48 h from the injury to promote apexogenesis. The tooth was orthodontically extruded until the fracture line was located above the alveolar bone l...
