1/57. zirconium oxide post and core system for the restoration of an endodontically treated incisor.Due to their enhanced optical properties (eg, translucency, value, chroma), ceramic systems can provide natural aesthetics for restorations placed in the anterior segment. In endodontically treated teeth with stained dentin, however, the use of translucent ceramic materials may be contraindicated unless the underlying discoloration can be masked. This article describes the use of a zirconium oxide post and core system with an all-ceramic crown for the restoration of an endodontically treated anterior tooth. This contemporary system allows optical and mechanical requisites to be resolved simultaneously.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = tooth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/57. The dentine-bonding of a fractured non-vital anterior tooth.This case illustrates an alternative management of a fractured non-vital incisor using adhesive techniques to avoid the disturbance of, and offer protection to, successful endodontic treatment. The rationale for the maintenance of sound tooth structure and the minimisation of coronal leakage, while adequately restoring aesthetics, is discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5.0264172958709keywords = tooth, fracture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/57. Carbamide peroxide whitening of nonvital single discolored teeth: case reports.patients who present with a single discolored tooth represent a significant restorative challenge. These case reports describe an economic and conservative treatment option for these patients. The situations presented demonstrate techniques for bleaching with carbamide peroxide in a traditional nightguard or with an inside-outside technique to achieve acceptable esthetic results on isolated nonvital discolored teeth. Although these techniques may not be effective in all cases, they do not compromise or eliminate any future treatment options.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = tooth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/57. 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 = 1.0052834591742keywords = tooth, fracture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/57. 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 = 1keywords = tooth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/57. 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 = 0.036984214219305keywords = fracture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/57. 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 = 0.0052834591741864keywords = fracture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/57. Nonvital tooth bleaching: a 2-year case report.A discolored, nonvital maxillary right central incisor was bleached with sodium perborate and water, used as a "walking" bleach. An excellent result was obtained, proving the efficiency of both the intracoronal bleaching technique and the materials employed. A clinical evaluation performed 2 years later revealed that the tooth was slightly stained but esthetically satisfactory.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = tooth (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/57. A cautionary tale. Case report.A healthy 26 year old female underwent unsuccessful surgery for an incorrectly diagnosed sebaceous cyst in the cheek. Eventually the problem was traced to a non-vital tooth 24.

10/57. 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 = 2.0264172958709keywords = tooth, fracture (Clic here for more details about this article) |
