Abstract

Hemisection refers to the surgical separation of a multi-ischolar_mained tooth with the extraction of one ischolar_main along with the overhanging crown. It is performed to retain the original tooth structure and attain the fixed prosthodontic prosthesis. Loss of the posterior teeth leads to teeth drifting, loss of masticatory function and loss of arch length, which requires prevention and maintenance measures. Management of periodontally involved molars with extensive decay is challenging and is limited to dental extraction and replacement with implants.

Keywords

Hemisection, Prosthesis, Implant, Periodontally Compromised.

Abstract

This case report describes and analyses a tooth fragment reattachment technique used to resolve crown fractures of the anterior teeth. This treatment allows a conservative approach to traumatic coronal lesions offering a better possibility of maintaining aesthetics and function. The adhesive reattachment is a simple system to achieve good aesthetic and functional results. When tooth and fragment margins are intact, the reattachment technique without any tooth preparation is a simple and predictable procedure.

Keywords

Tooth Fragment, Re-Attachment, Trauma.

Abstract

Platelet Rich Fibrin consists of an autologous leukocyte-platelet-rich fibrin matrix, composed of a tetra molecular structure, with platelets, leukocytes and stem cells within it, which acts as a biodegradable scaffold that favors microvascularization and is able to guide epithelial cell migration to its surface. This case report describes about the management of large periapical lesions with surgical approach and PRF placement and a non-surgical approach.

Keywords

Platelet Rich Fibrin, Leukocytes, Scaffold.
