A Hope for a Hopeless Tooth: A Case Report
نویسنده
چکیده
Vertical root fracture(VRF) is one of the common reasons for extraction of endodontically treated teeth. Though many options of saving such teeth were available, they were not of much success. Therefore the objective of this article is to discuss one such case. A 50 year old male patient reported with Vertical root fracture and 15 mm of periodontal probing depth in the distal aspect of 14. Radiographic examination indicated vertical root fracture. Dual cure nanoionomer cement, Ketac N100 was used to seal the fracture followed by guided tissue regeneration therapy with amniotic membrane. The use of dual cure nanoionomer cement and amniotic membrane showed favourable results as the pocket probing depth reduced to 5mm and bone formation was appreciated radiographically at 1 year. It can be concluded that the combination of dual cure nanoionomer and amniotic membrane may be a suitable approach in the management of Vertical root fracture since it remarkably improved the prognosis of the tooth.

Treatment of a single hopeless tooth is a routine challenge in dentistry. Causes for this condition commonly include traumatic injury, advanced caries and/or periodontal disease, and failed endodontic procedures.

متن کاملCase Report: The use of an aluminum shell for isolation and marginal elevation in a tooth with no proximal structure
Abstract Deep margin elevation is a technique to solve the problem of localized sub-gingival margins of a tooth. It facilitates isolation and allows the use of adhesive materials. Otherwise, the tooth may not be restorable and the outcome of marginal integrity may remain questionable. Different methods have been suggested previously but they have disadvantages. This article describes the use...
متن کاملAn Attached Odontoma to the Roots of a Mandibular Molar Tooth: A Case Report
Introduction: Odontomas are the most common odontogenic tumors. These lesions are usually considered a hamartoma than a neoplasm. Unlike normal tooth morphology, tissue arrangement is irregular in these lesions. Odontoma has self-limiting and slow growth, and if left untreated, its size will not increase over time. Most of these lesions are clinically asymptomatic and are detected on routine ra...
