Abstract

Introduction: Odontogenic anomalies of teeth can be encountered frequently in dental practise. Fusion and gemination are developmental dental anomalies leading to eruption of joined elements as double teeth. These anomalies pose a challenge even to the most experienced clinician in treating these teeth. Aim: Aim of this article is to throw light on a case of fused teeth which was esthetically rehabilitated. Method: Endodontic treatment followed by esthetic corrections. Result: Esthetically pleasing result. Conclusion: Its early interceptive treatment can help in avoiding severe pulpal and periodontal complications along with acceptable esthetic result.

Abstract

Introduction: Endodontic failures can be attributed to inadequacies in shaping, cleaning and obturation, iatrogenic events, re-infection of the ischolar_main canal system etc. Nonsurgical endodontic retreatment offers the patient a ray of hope to save a ischolar_main canal treated tooth that would otherwise be destined for extraction. Aim: Nonsurgical endodontic retreatment. Method: Endodontic treatment with calcium hydroxide placement as an intracanal medicament. Result: Healing of the periapical lesions with successful resolution of signs and symptoms both clinically and radiographically. Conclusion: Nonsurgical endodontic retreatment procedures have enormous potential for success if proper guidelines for case selection are followed and the most relevant technologies, best materials and precise techniques are utilized.

Abstract

Introduction: Pulp capping in carious teeth has been considered unpredictable and therefore contraindicated. A recently developed material, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), resists bacterial leakage and may provide protection to the pulp, when used in combination with a sealed restoration. Aim: Aim of this case report was to determine the clinical and radiographic success rate of vital pulp therapy with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in human mature permanent molar teeth. Methods: Carious pulpal exposure was treated by direct pulp capping with MTA. Results: After 9 months clinical and radiographic follow-up, it was found that the procedure had successful outcome. Conclusion: Although the results favoured the use of MTA in carious permanent teeth by vital pulp therapy but more studies with larger sample and a longer recall period are needed to justify the use of this novel material for treatment of reversible pulpitis in permanent teeth.
