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...

This case report presents conservative management of unset mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) after being placed as a root-end filling material following periapical surgery. Periapical surgery was indicated for a maxillary lateral incisor of a 15-year-old male due to persistent exudate and a large periapical lesion. During surgery Angelus MTA was placed as root-end filling. The next session it wa...

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...

For management of a symptomatic maxillary lateral incisor with dull pain on chewing, suppurative sinus tract, defective metal-ceramic crown and iatrogenic internal root resorption, an interdisciplinary approach was taken. Two-visit nonsurgical treatment with calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement, replacement of metal-ceramic crown with all-ceramic crown and corrective periodontal plastic surger...

Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-treated dentin matrix (TDM) is an enriched source of bioactive molecules. Therefore, it was hypothesized that fabrication of autogenous TDM on root dentinal walls of necrotic immature permanent teeth may allow more predictable outcome of revascularization treatments. Two young patients with permanent nonvital immature teeth were chosen for revascularizatio...

In modern endodontics, vital pulp therapy (VPT) has been considered an ultra-conservative treatment modality. Based on the level of pulp preservation, VPT includes stepwise excavation, indirect pulp capping (IDPC), direct pulp capping (DPC), miniature pulpotomy (MP), partial/Cvek pulpotomy and coronal/complete pulpotomy (CP). The present article reviews the treatment outcomes of 94 permanent te...

INTRODUCTION This case report describes apexogenesis treatment of three molar teeth of an 8-year-old boy using three different pulpotomy agents. METHODS Pulpotomy was performed on decayed immature molar teeth with established irreversible pulpitis and the remaining pulp was capped with either zinc oxide eugenol, ProRoot mineral trioxide aggregate or calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement. Teet...

Fishbone is one of industrial waste that can be used as a calcium source. This study aims to find out the use catfish bone flour source in dried noodles, its effects on physicochemical and sensory evaluation contribution calcium-enriched noodles Indonesian Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) calcium. The properties (moisture, ash, protein, fat, carbohydrate, calcium, phosphor, water absorption,...

Calcium and ash accumulation in aerobic granules treating organic wastewater was investigated systematically in this study. It was found that ash content of granular sludge reached 43% at stable state of reactor operation with calcium carbonate precipitation as the main cause. Since granular sludge in the reactor at the steady state was the mixture of granules with different sizes, granules in ...
