AIM To report the endodontic treatment of an immature maxillary central incisor with dens invaginatus. SUMMARY Dens invaginatus is a rare malformation of teeth, probably resulting from an infolding of the dental papilla during tooth development. The present case describes the complex endodontic treatment of a type III dens invaginatus in an immature maxillary central incisor with a necrotic p...

INTRODUCTION This article describes 3 cases that presented persistent symptoms after appropriate endodontic treatment. Histopathologic and histobacteriologic investigation were conducted for determination of the cause. METHODS Three cases are reported that presented with persistent symptoms after endodontic retreatment (cases 1 and 2) or treatment (case 3). Periapical surgery was indicated an...

Parendodontic surgery is indicated for teeth with a persistent periradicular pathological process, which did not respond to the conventional approach. This intervention also requested cases of accidents in endodontic treatment. Among these, overfilling and extravasation cone obturator cement can lead appearance chronic inflammatory process tissues. The difficulty removing this material makes ne...

Biomaterials such as membrane barriers and/or bone grafts are often used to enhance periapical new bone formation. A combination of apical surgery and these biomaterials is one of the latest treatment options for avoiding tooth extraction. In case of periapical lesions, guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is attempted to improve the self-regenerative healing process by excluding undesired prolifer...

When the pathological process affects dental pulp of deciduous element and causes inflammation or infection, endodontic treatment is indicated. The maintenance primary tooth important, especially in cases permanent agenesis. aim this study to report a clinical case about lower molar with furcation lesion, root resorption premolar A patient was selected at clinic FAPAC/ITPAC (Porto Nacional) – T...

BACKGROUND Tooth replantation after traumatic avulsion or transplantation is a challenge in oral surgery. A special method named auto-alloplastic replantation, in which a titanium post is used after extraoral endodontic treatment, combines several advantages. The treatment is performed in one step with no further endodontic intervention, no wide root canal instrumentation, no recontamination, a...

This article is a case report of the successful interdisciplinary management of a maxillary lateral incisor with a deep palatogingival groove. The tooth presented with severe periodontal destruction owing to the deep extension of the groove up to the root apex. The groove was meticulously diagnosed and treated by endodontic and subsequent periodontal surgery leading to complete resolution of th...

This report provides a review of the major biological events that occur in the oral mucoperiosteal tissues following simple surgical wounding. The chronological sequence and interrelationships of mucoperiosteal tissue wound healing responses are described. The objectives of this review are to provide clarification of wound healing terminology and a basic reference source for further investigati...
