1/43. A case report of a vital replanted tooth with unfavourable extra-alveolar condition: a 10-year follow-up.This case report describes the survival of a maxillary left central incisor after an avulsion injury under unfavourable extra-alveolar condition, when the patient was 9 years old. At subsequent clinical follow-ups, the tooth maintained vitality 10 years after the injury. There was sign of gradual obliteration of the root canal space. Concomitantly, the replanted tooth manifested typical characteristics of ankylosis with minimally detectable resorption complication.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |

3/43. Bonded arch bars to manage traumatic injuries to the teeth and alveolar bone.A simple, rapid, painless, and bloodless method of successfully treating avulsed and partially avulsed teeth with or without associated dentoalveolar fractures is presented for management by the general practitioner in the office. It is a bonding technique with the key elements being a prefabricated malleable mesh backed arch bar in combination with any light curing composite procedure that is standard in the individual's office.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 41.384999117846keywords = dentoalveolar, alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/43. prognosis of replanted primary incisors after injuries.Between 1979 and 1997, 58 avulsed primary teeth were treated at the Pedodontic Clinic of Niigata University Dental Hospital. Among these, we replanted six avulsed incisors of four patients and treated two teeth of two patients replanted at other dental clinics. Referring to the clinical records, oral photographs and radiographs, we examined the injury age, cause of injury, condition of tooth storage, length of time until replantation, and also the prognosis after replantation. Three teeth of two cases remained until eruption of their permanent successors, and one tooth of one case remained under observation without extraction. Although the other four teeth of three cases resulted in extraction, no secondary infection was detected due to replantation. The following reasons were suspected for the poor prognosis of the four teeth. One avulsed tooth was not fixed immediately after replantation. One replanted tooth might not have been compatible with the alveolar socket. In the other two teeth, the periodontal vital tissues might have been removed before replantation. It is generally suggested that replantation of primary teeth is not a good option. However, from the present results, it was considered that replantation can be an effectual method when the condition of the avulsed primary tooth is suitable.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/43. rehabilitation of a patient with severe dentoalveolar injuries: a case report with a 10-year follow-up.This clinical report describes the emotional and physical rehabilitation of a young man. The impact of the injuries sustained and repeated failure of traditional dental treatment methods had caused the patient to become quite withdrawn. A successful outcome followed surgical placement of multiple titanium plasma-sprayed cylindrical fixtures in severely damaged dental supporting tissues to serve as intermediary abutments for complex maxillary and mandibular fixed prostheses. The loss of crestal bone during the postprosthetic years is determined. The advantages only implant dentistry could bring are identified.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 162.33999647138keywords = dentoalveolar, alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/43. Decoronation of an ankylosed tooth for preservation of alveolar bone prior to implant placement.A 12-year-old patient sustained avulsions of both permanent maxillary central incisors. Subsequently, both teeth developed replacement resorption. The left incisor was extracted alio loco. The right incisor was treated by decoronation (removal of crown and pulp, but preservation of the root substance). Comparison of both sites demonstrated complete preservation of the height and width of the alveolar bone at the decoronation site, whereas the tooth extraction site showed considerable bone loss. In addition, some vertical bone apposition was found on top of the decoronated root. Decoronation is a simple and safe surgical procedure for preservation of alveolar bone prior to implant placement. It must be considered as a treatment option for teeth affected by replacement resorption if tooth transplantation is not feasible.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.2keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/43. Conservative management of an intruded immature maxillary permanent central incisor with healing complication of pulp bone.Traumatic intrusion injury of permanent teeth is serious with multiple complications possible associated with the pulp, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone and Hertwig's epithelial root sheath. The optimal treatment for the management of an intrusion injury has not yet been determined. A case is presented involving the conservative management of an immature maxillary permanent central incisor intrusively luxated by allowing for re-eruption and orthodontic extrusion two weeks later. After a follow-up period of ten months, the intruded tooth continued to show a mobility of grade one, without metallic percussion tone or infra-occlusion, which confirmed periodontal ligament healing. Although the intruded tooth failed to respond to dry ice testing, no other signs of pulp necrosis were evident and the colour of the intruded tooth was within normal limits throughout the follow-up period. However, complications of healing of Hertwig's epithelial root sheath occurred, causing in-growth of bone and periodontal ligament into the root canal.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/43. Auto-alloplastic transplantation of a primary canine after traumatic loss of a permanent central incisor.This report describes the transplantation of a primary canine after traumatic loss of a central incisor in an 8-year-old boy. The 7-month follow-up revealed normal periodontal healing with absence of infection, ankylosis or progressive resorption. The patient was then lost for control. After 16 months another trauma in the same patient resulted in an avulsion of the transplant. However, the alveolar bone was maintained in vertical and sagittal dimensions. Another primary canine was transplanted and followed for further 11 months. Again normal periodontal healing could be observed. The transplantation of a primary canine is seen as a promising method to replace a lost permanent tooth and maintain the surrounding tissues in very young patients.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/43. Different treatment outcomes of two intruded permanent incisors--a case report.Intrusive luxation involves the displacement of the tooth apically into the alveolar socket. This type of injury represents a very complex wound, involving disruption of the marginal gingival seal, alveolar bone, periodontal ligament fibers, cementum and the neuro-vascular supply to the pulp, which results in severely compromised healing and possible complications. The case presented is a report of a 60-year-old lady who fell and intruded her two maxillary central incisors. The healing outcomes of the two central incisors were markedly different from each other even though they sustained similar injuries.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.4keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/43. Use of self-etching adhesive system and compomer for splinting traumatized incisors.Traumatized teeth that are displaced from their normal alveolar positions need to be repositioned and stabilized so that healing can occur. Orthodontic ligature wire bonded into place with resin-based composite works well for splinting teeth. Using a self-etching adhesive bonding system and compomer material facilitates both the resin bonding and its removal. This clinical report describes a simplified resin/wire splinting procedure.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = alveolar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
