A Case Series Of Successful Root Amputations And Hemisection: Retaining Compromised Teeth With Perio-Endodontic Lesion, Mohd Nazrin Isa, Nurul Ain Ramlan, Afzan Adilah Ayoub, Muhammad Hilmi Zainal Ariffin

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

Case report: This case report presents three successful approaches for preserving a tooth through root amputation or hemisection. Patients were referred to the Periodontic Department due to mobility of teeth and swelling of the upper left first molar, upper right first molar and lower right first molar with considerably good oral hygiene. Patients were diagnosed with generalized severe periodontitis associated with perio-endodontic lesions. Therefore, non-surgical root canal treatment (NSRCT) was carried out prior to periodontal treatment, followed by surgical root resection (RR) of the distobuccal (DB) root of the upper left first molar, root resection of the distobuccal (DB) root …

Primary Endodontic Infections - Key Issue In Pathogenesis Of Chronic Apical Periodontitis, Alexandru Andrei Iliescu, Irina Maria Gheorghiu, Sergiu Ciobanu, Ion Roman, Anca Silvia Dumitriu, George Alexandru Denis Popescu, Stana Paunica

Journal of Mind and Medical Sciences

Primary root canal infection is a dynamic process. All species of oral microbiota have comparable abilities to establish in the root canals of necrotic teeth. The essential ecological factors in their biological selection are nutrient availability, anaerobic environment and bacterial interactions. In chronic apical periodontitis, all selected microflora residing in the long-term infected habitat of root canals system are synergistic, and each of them can play the role of an endodontic pathogen. Microorganisms living in the root canal system of pulpless teeth progressively reach through anatomical communications to the periodontal ligament where, sooner or later, they cause the inflammatory and …

Antimicrobial Efficacy Of Different Intracanal Medicaments Used In Regenerative Endodontics Against A Mature Multi-Species Biofilm Model (An Ex-Vivo Study), Shehabeldin Mohamed Saber Prof.Dr.

Dentistry

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of different antimicrobial agents, including Ciprofloxacin, Doxycycline, Clindamycin, Metronidazole, Amoxicillin and Clavulanate, Triple antibiotic paste (TAP) and Calcium hydroxide (CH), as intra-canal medications for regenerative endodontics against an aged, multispecies ex-vivo biofilm model.

Methods: A total of one hundred fifty single-rooted human teeth were used in this study. Fifteen teeth were used to monitor the formation and maturation of a multispecies biofilm model consisting of Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Candida albicans. After 21 days of incubation, the other one-hundred and thirty-five teeth were divided into 9 equal …

Dentistry

Aim: to assess and compare the quality of root canal obturation using AH Plus and GuttaFlow 2 in patients with symptomatic

irreversible pulpitis.

Materials and methods: This randomized clinical trial included 50 participants with mandibular molars diagnosed with

symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups: the AH Plus group (RBS) and the

GuttaFlow 2 group (SBS). Clinical procedures included local anesthesia, access cavity preparation under a surgical microscope,

rubber dam isolation, and root canal preparation using the ProTaper Gold system. For the RBS group, AH Plus sealer was used

with cold lateral condensation, while for the SBS …

Does Reduced Taper Canal Preparation Increase The Load Capacity Of Endodontically Treated Teeth?, Shehabeldin Mohamed Saber Prof.Dr.

Dentistry

Objectives: The aim of this in-vitro study is to assess and compare the load capacity of teeth with canals prepared using progressive taper versus regressive taper.

Methods: Twenty-seven extracted mandibular molars were categorized into three equal groups. The negative control group involved teeth that were accessed and restored with composite resin without canal preparation. The regressive canal preparation group used the TruNatomy file system, while the progressive canal preparation group employed the ProTaper Gold system. Subsequently, all samples underwent loading using a universal testing machine until tooth fracture occurred. The force required to fracture each tooth was recorded in Newton. …

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

Objective: The acidic pH of remineralizing agents is beneficial in etching the enamel to facilitate increased remineralization. This study aims to modify the pH of Casein Phosphopeptide Amorphous Calcium phosphate to acidic and evaluate the enamel surface microhardness exposed to acidified CPP ACPF, acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF gel), and conventional CPP ACPF. Methods: The pH of conventional CPP ACPF (GC Tooth Mousse) is acidified. 24 tooth samples were assigned into three groups receiving as follows: Group 1 (n = 8) acidified CPP ACPF, Group 2 (n = 8) APF gel, and Group 3 (n = 8) CPP ACPF for four …

Esthetic Management Of Maxillary Anteriors With Complicated And Uncomplicated Fractures Using Different Fragment Reattachment Approaches, Lavanya A, Rajendra Kumar Tewari, Sharique Alam

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

Appropriate management of anterior tooth fracture restores the function and aesthetics and provides a positive psychological impact for the patient. One of the most conservative approaches for such a restoration is reattachment; if a fracture fragment remains attached to the tooth and is available, as in young patients, immediate reporting helps preserve the vitality and long-term defense mechanism. Objective: This case report provides two cases with varied approaches for the management of complicated and uncomplicated crown fractures using reattachment procedures. Case report: During the clinical examination, the first case described the management of an uncomplicated fracture using the …

Resin-Build-Up As A Direct Monoblock Concept For Root Canal Dentin, Core, And Crown Restoration On Anterior Endodontically Treated Tooth, Citra Kusumasari, Takashi Hatayama, Junji Tagami, Yasushi Shimada Prof.

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

The long-term clinical performance of restoration in endodontically treated teeth (ETT) is an essential yet complicated strategy to achieve it. A resin-build-up tooth with higher elastic moduli is a minimally invasive strategy to decrease the risk of catastrophic root fracture. Additionally, intracanal resin composite anchorage simplifies the restorative procedure and increases the bonding. Objective: This case report describes a resin-build-up tooth restoration using the direct monoblock concept to replace a failed metal post and core and porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crown on the maxillary right central incisor. Case report: A 50-year-old man attended a dental university hospital …
