1/6. Reattachment of a subgingivally fractured central incisor tooth fragment: report of a case.A case report of a 9-year-old boy with a fractured maxillary right incisor and ulcerated pulp at the fracture line is presented. On satisfactory completion of a root canal filling one week later, the access cavity was restored with glass ionomer cement. The fragment was reattached by a light activated hybrid composite during the flap surgery. tetracycline hydrochloride was applied on open root surface for a better healing.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/6. Management of periodontitis associated with endodontically involved teeth: a case series.The pulp and the periodontal attachment are the two components that enable a tooth to function in the oral cavity. Lesions of the periodontal ligament and adjacent alveolar bone may originate from infections of the periodontium or tissues of the dental pulp. The simultaneous existence of pulpal problems and inflammatory periodontal disease can complicate diagnosis and treatment planning. The function of the tooth is severely compromised when either one of these is involved in the disease process. Treatment of disease conditions involving both of these structures can be challenging and frequently requires combining both endodontic and periodontal treatment procedures. This article presents cases of periodontitis associated with endodontic lesions managed by both endodontic and periodontal therapy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 17.046605687757keywords = oral cavity, cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/6. Intraoral examination in pyogenic facial lesions.Pyogenic cutaneous lesions of the cervicofacial region may be due to a variety of causes. One possibility that should be considered is an odontogenic infection secondary to untreated dental caries, periodontal disease or previous maxillofacial trauma. An intraoral examination is mandatory to evaluate the oral cavity for signs of pathology that may be manifested as a purulent cutaneous lesion. patients with odontogenic infection should be referred to a dentist for definitive treatment, which may consist of either endodontic therapy or extraction of the involved tooth and curettage of any abscesses or fistulous tracts.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/6. Cavitational bone defect: a diagnostic challenge.A patient with a history of trauma to the maxillary left anterior region presented with chronic pain of unknown etiology. root canal therapy and periradicular surgery failed to resolve the persistent pain. A second surgical procedure revealed a bone cavity superior and distopalatally to the apex of the maxillary left lateral incisor. The suspected etiology was necrotic bone removed from the bone cavity.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/6. The use of bone imaging to detect a periapical lesion of endodontic origin.This article reports the detection of a lesion of dental origin in the mandible of a 41-yr-old male patient during a routine bone scan used as a follow-up to cancer therapy. Unfortunately, more than 1 yr passed before the patient's signs and symptoms became severe enough for a definitive diagnosis to be made. A comprehensive dental examination is indicated for patients with positive bone scans in the area of the oral cavity. The use of bone imaging can be recommended to complement the dental examination of high risk patients with suspected metastasis or when all routine dental diagnostic measures are inconclusive.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 17.046605687757keywords = oral cavity, cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/6. Endodontic involvement resulting from dental abrasion or erosion.A case is presented of extreme loss of tooth substance, most probably as a result of dentifrice abrasion. The lesions resulted in many instances of pulpal death and periapical pathosis. In most instances, an opening into the pulp chamber could not be demonstrated using an explorer. In two instances, an opening into the pulp chamber was present and probable. This communication with the oral cavity resulted in pulpal pathosis and an accompanying periapical lesion. In most cases of dental abrasion and erosion, or both, pulpal pathosis and periapical pathosis do not occur because of the ability of the pulp to lay down dentin as the pulp recedes. The findings in this case are not typical.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 17.046605687757keywords = oral cavity, cavity (Clic here for more details about this article) |
