1/42. Forced eruption: a multidisciplinary approach for form, function, and biologic predictability.There are several treatment options for patients with coronal fractures, subgingival caries perforations, and root resorption. Frequently, forced eruption is not considered, although in many cases of single-rooted teeth, forced eruption is the "gold standard" for producing an esthetic result without jeopardizing periodontal support for adjacent teeth. Sufficient tooth length, achieved through forced eruption, ensures the periodontal health of the "biologic width" and crown margin and thus a successful restorative outcome.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = root resorption, resorption, root (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/42. Thermal sensitivity of endodontically treated teeth.case reports: The problem of thermal sensitivity following non-surgical root-canal treatment is explored and case reports are presented. Possible causes for post-treatment discomfort from endodontic and restorative aetiologies are discussed, as are the mechanisms to explain the patients' painful experiences. Treatment of this problem may vary from the simple replacement of a defective restoration to a more extensive non-surgical retreatment of the case, despite radiographic evidence of an acceptable root filling and normal periradicular tissues.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.1216466780108keywords = root (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/42. apexification & apexogenesis.When there is pulpal involvement of permanent teeth with incompletely formed roots, techniques for the induction of apical closure should be completed before endodontic therapy is begun. apexification is a method of inducing a calcified barrier at the apex of a nonvital tooth with incomplete root formation. Apexogenesis refers to a vital pulp therapy procedure performed to encourage physiological development and formation of the root end.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.1824700170162keywords = root (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/42. Apical bridging in association with regular root formation following single-visit apexification: a case report.A case report is presented in which continuing root formation occurred in a carious nonvital and immature mandibular second premolar after single-visit calcium hydroxide apexification treatment. An apical hard tissue barrier was formed, accompanied by a separate, mesioapically growing root, 7 months posttreatment. Treatment was concluded with gutta-percha root canal restoration. The success of this single-visit apexification treatment supports the contention that frequent changing of the calcium hydroxide dressing is not always required to induce apical closure.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.42576337303781keywords = root (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/42. Management of a horizontal root fracture after previous root canal therapy.This case report concerns a 9-year-old girl who had a horizontal root fracture of her maxillary left central incisor and had root canal therapy performed by her family dentist immediately after the injury. Because of the incomplete canal obturation, the root canal filling material was removed, and calcium hydroxide therapy was initiated. Healing at the fracture site occurred, with hard tissue forming between the root segments. The coronal segment of the root was then obturated with gutta-percha. The patient later had orthodontic treatment with some movement of the coronal segment. Six-year post-treatment follow-up shows apparent clinical and radiographic success. This case illustrates the potential for repair of a horizontal root fracture after endodontic retreatment of the coronal segment and long-term splinting.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.85152674607561keywords = root (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/42. Enhanced post crown retention in resin composite-reinforced, compromised, root-filled teeth: a case report.The introduction of an intraradicular composite reinforcing technique, in conjunction with the reestablishment of matching post canal spaces, has allowed compromised, root-filled teeth to be restored with functional, esthetic post crowns. This clinical case report suggests that reconstituted post canals, in accurately adapting to passive, parallel-sided, matching, and well-fitting posts, can enhance the retention of post crowns. Other factors of clinical importance relating to the resin-reinforced technique are discussed, including fracture resistance, depth of polymerization, dentin adhesion, polymerization shrinkage, and coronal microleakage.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.30411669502701keywords = root (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/42. 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 = 0.36494003403241keywords = root (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/42. 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 = 0.1216466780108keywords = root (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/42. Treatment of cariously involved fused maxillary primary lateral and central incisors.A 3-and-a-half-year-old male child presented with fused cariously involved right maxillary primary central and lateral incisors as well as a previously traumatized non-vital left primary central incisor with a draining fistula. The child also had other restorative needs and the decision taken was to address all needs under a G.A. With respect to the fused incisors, these were split and root canals treatment was performed for all three incisors which were then restored with stainless steel crowns with esthetic facings.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.060823339005401keywords = root (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/42. Unusual tooth sensation due to maxillary sinusitis--a case report.maxillary sinusitis can cause pain or discomfort to the maxillary dentition but no report of patients complaining of a "jumping tooth sensation" during sinusitis has been recorded in the literature. This article presents a case of an unusual localised sensation from a maxillary right second premolar experienced while undergoing root canal treatment. This sensation was felt during walking while the patient was suffering an episode of influenza. This sensation first occurred following debridement of the root canal. However, it persisted even after the root canal had been sealed. A hypothetical explanation of this manifestation is proposed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.1824700170162keywords = root (Clic here for more details about this article) |
