1/18. Root extrusion, a practical solution in complicated crown-root incisor fractures.Implants and fixed and removable prostheses are very successful in replacing missing units but their cost can be inhibitory to a number of patients. In addition fixed and removable prostheses can be destructive to sound abutment teeth and can result in damage to dental and soft tissue. This report describes the restoration of a tooth with a complicated incisor crown-root fracture that extended below both the gingival cuff and the alveolar crest, by using remaining tooth tissue. The restoration was completed after root extrusion with a cast post, diaphragm and core, and porcelain crown.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/18. Implant failures associated with asymptomatic endodontically treated teeth.BACKGROUND: Endosseous root-formed implants occasionally fail to osseointegrate. Causes of failure include infection, overheating of the bone, habitual smoking, systemic disease, transmucosal overloading, excessive surgical trauma and implant placement adjacent to teeth demonstrating periapical pathology. CASE DESCRIPTION: In this article, the authors present another possible cause of implant failure. The cases of four patients who received endosseous root-formed implants are discussed. Each patient demonstrated signs of infection after initial implant placement. The common factor in each failing implant was its placement adjacent to an asymptomatic endodontically treated tooth with no clinical or radiographic evidence of pathology. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: These patients demonstrate the importance of evaluating and possibly retreating or extracting adjacent endodontically treated teeth before placing implants.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5773.3400769727keywords = periapical (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/18. Submerging an endodontically treated root to preserve the alveolar ridge under a bridge--a case report.The loss of teeth results in the resorption of the residual alveolar ridges. This case report describes the successful maintenance of the alveolar ridge contour in the maxillary anterior region under a fixed prosthesis by the mucosal coverage and submersion of an endodontically retreated root, including a 6-year follow-up.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/18. Inflammatory follicular cyst associated with an endodontically treated primary molar: a case report.This is a case study of an inflammatory follicular cyst associated with an endodontically treated deciduous molar with radiographic and microscopic diagnosis. This cystic lesion represents a typical follicular cyst that arose in association with periapical inflammation from a non-vital deciduous molar and involved the follicle of the unerupted successor premolar. This paper describes the case and discusses diagnosis, histogenesis, and controversies regarding terminology.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5773.3400769727keywords = periapical (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/18. Management of a non-vital central incisor tooth with three root canals.A macrodont permanent central incisor tooth with unusual root canal morphology became non-vital 18 months following trauma. Two root canals were initially identified and filled, but the patient continued to have symptoms and radiographic examination indicated apical periodontitis. Careful radiographic and clinical examination revealed a third root canal, which was subsequently treated, resulting in the resolution of symptoms and periapical healing.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5921.0914131575keywords = periapical, periodontitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/18. Dentoalveolar trauma in a patient with chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura: a case report.A case is presented of a 13-year-old boy with chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) who sustained traumatic labial luxation of both lower central incisors, with partial alveolar fracture resulting in displacement of the labial alveolar plate. Intravenous immunoglobulin (Fleibogamma, 1 g/kg body weight x 2 days) was administered, resulting in the patient's platelet count rising from 15,000/mm3 to 70,000/mm3. Under general anesthesia, the displaced lower labial alveolus and luxated teeth were repositioned and splinted 2 days following trauma. Healing was uneventful. Subsequently, both lower central incisors became nonvital and were endodontically treated. The dental treatment of this patient with ITP is discussed in terms of emergency management, and subsequent care.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/18. Mandibular endodontic-related paresthesia.A 57-year-old woman sought treatment for mandibular swelling (of two weeks duration), pain, and paresthesia in the region of the left canine and first premolar. The teeth had undergone endodontic therapy; in addition, they partially supported a long-span fixed partial denture. The patient was concerned about the possibility of a serious neoplastic condition. The initial panoramic radiograph demonstrated a large periapical pathology area associated with the first premolar. Eventually, both the canine and first premolar teeth were retreated, although the paresthesia did not resolve for approximately four months. A brief review of endodontic-associated paresthesia is provided, along with a description of the therapy and postoperative radiographs taken 20 months later.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5773.3400769727keywords = periapical (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/18. Orthodontic movement of a horizontally fractured tooth: a case report.Intra-alveolar root fractures are relatively uncommon, and sometimes may be healed without treatment. diagnosis of intra-alveolar root fracture is frequently made by exclusion of clinical signs of other traumatic injury, and by radiographic examination with films taken at different tube angulations. This case report presents a horizontal root fractured tooth that was healed satisfactory without treatment and moved orthodontically after prolonged time from trauma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/18. An intrusion injury as an example of interdisciplinary aspects in dental traumatology: a case report.Traumatic injury to teeth presents a considerable challenge for the practitioner. Very often a variety of oral tissues are involved, such as enamel, dentin, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, and mucosa. Extraoral lesions are often another focus of attention for the patient and the practitioner. To cover all these various demands and necessities in a proper and adequate manner, a sound knowledge and experience of many different dental fields is needed. This case report presents the treatment of an 8-year-old girl during which surgical, restorative, endodontic, and orthodontic practices cooperated to achieve an adequate rehabilitation of the patient.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/18. Reactive correction of a maxillary incisor in single-tooth crossbite following periodontal therapy.BACKGROUND: The reactive correction of a single tooth anterior crossbite following periodontal therapy is described. This case report provides new information regarding correction of a crossbite relationship and con- firms existing reports of tooth movement following periodontal therapy. methods: A 39-year-old woman in good general health presented with a history of recurrent periodontal abscesses of a maxillary incisor. Probing depths of the abscessed tooth ranged from 5 to 12 mm, and class 1 mobility was noted. Radiographs revealed that the tooth had previously been treated endodontically. The patient's periodontal diagnosis was generalized chronic moderate to severe periodontitis. Treatment considerations were complicated by a single-tooth crossbite relationship of the involved incisor and clinical evidence that the periodontal abscess communicated with an apical infection. Treatment of the abscess consisted of cause-related therapy, bone grafting, and occlusal adjustment. RESULTS: Five months after surgical treatment, an edge-to-edge incisal relationship was observed, the first indicator of tooth movement. Further correction to a normal incisal relationship resulted 1 year after modification of the proximal contact. At this time, there was normal probing depth with only slight recession and mobility. Bone fill was radiographically noted. CONCLUSION: It appears that some cases of maxillary incisor crossbite that are complicated by periodontal disease may be corrected, without orthodontic appliances, following periodontal treatment.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 147.75133618479keywords = periodontitis (Clic here for more details about this article) |
