Apexification with a New Intra-Canal Medicament: A Multidisciplinary Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dental trauma generally requires multidisciplinary planning and treatment for good prognosis. When immature teeth are traumatized to a degree where pulp necrosis ensues, the objective of root canal treatment should be apexogenesis and root maturation. Apexification of the root is the conventional choice, which involves cleaning the canal and filling it with a temporary medication that stimulates the formation of a calcific apical barrier. Dental Trauma Service of Piracicaba Dental School, State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil employs a dressing for apexification treatments with calcium hydroxide, chlorhexidine gel 2% and zinc oxide. This paper reports the case of a dental trauma of the maxillary central incisors and subluxation on teeth 11, 12 and 21 that were treated with multidisciplinary collaboration (Endodontics, Periodontology and Operative Dentistry) to improve prognosis. After five-years there were no pathological conditions and the teeth showed every evidences of success.

Objective: The objective of this report was to present a case of apexification in traumatized teeth treated with two different therapies for immature teeth. Methods: An 11-year-old male patient was referred to the Dental Trauma Service of the College of Dentistry — Piracicaba (UNICAMP), with enamel dentin fracture in the maxillary central incisors associated with subluxation caused by a bicycle...
متن کاملEffect of calcium hydroxide application time on dentin
Currently calcium hydroxide is often used as an intra-canal medication during root canal treatment. It has a pH of approximately 12.5, and it has antimicrobial activity, tissue-dissolving ability, inhibits tooth resorption and induces repair by hard tissue formation. It has been promoted for intra-canal placement for various endodontic conditions, including apexification, apexogenesis, after tr...

Use of an apical plug in management of cases with open apices has gained popularity in recent years. Biodentine, a new calcium silicate-based material has recently been introduced as a dentine substitute, whenever original dentine is damaged. This case report describes single visit apexification in a maxillary central incisor with necrotic pulp and open apex using Biodentine as an apical barrie...

This paper reviews the rationale and techniques for treatment of the non-vital immature tooth. The importance of careful case assessment and accurate pulpal diagnosis in the treatment of immature teeth with pulpal injury cannot be overemphasized. The treatment of choice for necrotic teeth is apexification, which is induction of apical closure to produce more favorable conditions for conventiona...

An immature tooth with early irreversible pulp involvement presents with thin divergent or parallel dentinal walls. This situation creates clinical challenges in disinfection, and as a result, affects the long-term outcome of the treatment. Traditionally, calcium hydroxide has been used as the intra-canal medicament in apexification procedures. However, because of its high pH it will cause necr...
