1/12. Inadequate implant angulation resulting from oroantral fistula: case report.Successful implant surgery is largely dependent on good treatment planning and careful surgery. A complete treatment plan must encompass both surgical and prosthetic considerations for the implant restoration. Some compromised implants are restorable, and the result can be acceptable if they can be adjusted into a more ideal position. The goals of the segmental osteotomy are the preservation of a healthy dental unit, the creation of a more ideal environment for dental restoration and occlusal reconstruction, the optimization of cost effectiveness, and the minimization of edentulous space. The purpose of this study is to present the segmental maxillary osteotomy to reposition the alveolar segment with its implant that was in a highly compromised situation.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/12. Effect of occlusal trauma on healing of periapical pathoses: report of two cases.AIM: To present two clinical cases and demonstrate that occlusal trauma may affect healing of periapical pathoses. SUMMARY: Two teeth with periradicular disease did not respond successfully to conventional root canal treatment or endodontic surgery. occlusal adjustment was finally performed on both cases. After occlusal adjustment, uncomplicated healing and periapical repair occurred in both cases. The findings in these two cases suggest that occlusal trauma may play a role in the healing of periapical pathoses. KEY learning POINTS: Occlusal trauma is positively correlated with changes in periodontal tissues. Although experiments in animals have shown that application of forces to teeth will not induce further periodontal destruction, we believe that some failures of root canal treatment may be due to the presence of occlusal trauma modulating the responses of inflamed periapical tissues or apical pathoses with persistent infection.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 711.70766215927keywords = periapical (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/12. Infraclusion of primary molars: a review and report of a case.The term infraclusion is usually used to define mandibular primary teeth in posterior region that remain below the occlusion level. The degree of infraclusion depends on some factors like deviation below the occlusal plane, and infraclusion of tooth in the alveolar bone. Deficient eruptive force, disturbed metabolism of the periodontal ligament, trauma, local inflammation, deficient local vertical bone growth, disturbance in interaction between normal resorption and hard tissue repair, ankylosis and hereditary components have been given as etiological factors. Complications of infraclused primary molars are tipping of the neighboring teeth, space loss, supraeruption of the antagonists, and dislocations of permanent teeth lying under the primary tooth. In this case report, after reviewing the literature a patient with infraclused mandibular primary second molar has been examined to observe the complications of infraclusion. With an appropriate treatment approach, a proper condition was prepared for the eruption of permanent teeth.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/12. amelogenesis imperfecta and nephrocalcinosis: a new case of this rare syndrome.This article describes a new case of a rare syndrome including enamel agenesis of the primary and permanent dentition, delayed or absent eruption of the permanent dentition, coronal intra-alveolar resorption and gingival enlargement. Renal symptoms include medullary nephrocalcinosis without any apparent cause, and evolution to a renal failure. The early diagnosis provided by the oral symptoms leads to a better renal prognosis. As a consequence, pediatric dentists should be aware of this pathology.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/12. Talon cusp causing occlusal trauma and acute apical periodontitis: report of a case.- The talon cusp, or dens evaginatus of anterior teeth, is a relatively rare dental developmental anomaly characterized by the presence of an accessory cusp-like structure projecting from the cingulum area or cemento-enamel junction. This occurs in either maxillary or mandibular anterior teeth in both the primary and permanent dentition. One of the main problems caused by accessory cusps are occlusal interferences. The anomalous cusp even can generate occlusal trauma and reversible acute apical periodontitis of the opposing tooth. This article reports a case of talon cusp affecting the permanent maxillary left lateral incisor that caused clinical problems related to occlusal trauma and apical periodontitis caused by a premature contact. The treatment of the occlusal interference produced by the taloned tooth is described.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1266.4503350076keywords = periodontitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/12. Maxillary bone growth and implant positioning in a young patient: a case report.The literature supports the efficacy of osseointegrated implants for partially edentulous patients, but care must be exercised in adolescents with incomplete bone formation. Implants do not follow the normal growth of the jaws, and they behave like ankylosed teeth. They may also interfere with the normal growth of the alveolar process and jeopardize the germs of the adjacent permanent teeth or alter eruption. This case report analyzes the unfavorable clinical and radiographic findings of a single-tooth replacement in a young male over a 15-year period.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/12. The segmental osteotomy in the management of malposed implants: a case report and literature review.BACKGROUND: The segmental osteotomy provides an important treatment approach for the correction of skeletal-dental malocclusions that would otherwise be unmanageable with conventional orthodontic care. The combined use of orthodontics and orthognathic surgery also has been adapted for use in the correction of developmental and traumatic deformities. Severely malpositioned implant fixtures may not permit restorative correction even with custom prosthetic appliances. As an alternative to implant removal, which can be associated with significant alveolar destruction, orthognathic surgery may offer a treatment modality to improve fixture alignment, thereby enabling a more favorable esthetic and functional prosthesis. This paper presents a case report and review of the segmental osteotomy procedure. methods: A 32-year-old female with congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors underwent implant surgery for prosthetic replacement of these teeth. Due to severe labial positioning of the implant fixtures, acceptable prosthetic treatment was not possible. A segmental osteotomy procedure was used to reposition the implants. The implants were splinted using a ridged interim suprastructure during the 4-month healing period. An occlusal appliance also was worn during the initial 8 weeks of this healing period. RESULTS: The surgical procedure permitted intrusion and palatal repositioning of the implants. Healing proceeded with no untoward effects. Clinical findings at second-stage surgery were consistent with complete osseous repair and integration of the fixtures. Successful prosthetic treatment was subsequently completed for the patient. CONCLUSION: The segmental osteotomy may provide an alternative treatment to the removal of severely malposed implants or their compromised prosthetic restoration.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/12. Orofacial complications associated with forward repositioning of the mandible in snore guard users.snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) result from a collapse of the tongue, soft palate, and pharynx, causing temporary airway blockage. Acrylic mandibular advancement splints and Herbst appliances are used to relieve snoring and mild OSA. Repositioning the mandible forward may have an adverse effect on the orofacial and dentoalveolar structures of susceptible individuals. This article reports two cases in which orofacial complications developed following the utilization of snore guard appliances.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/12. Periodontal lesions associated with deep traumatic overbite.Certain aspects of malocclusion, particularly deep overbite, can be related to periodontal pathology, especially in the presence of poor oral hygiene. The authors have noted an association between deep overbite and unusual periodontal lesions. These lesions often appear on radiographs as circumscribed radiolucencies, remote from the alveolar crest and sometimes close to the apex. Gingival surface injury and food impaction may be important aetiological factors. This is illustrated in this article by a number of case studies.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
