A case report is presented on transplantation of a left third molar to replace a right second molar lost due to large furcation perforation. Two weeks after surgery, a reentry surgical procedure was performed on the furcation defect of the second molar to remove membrane and retrieve proliferating periodontal tissue. The left third molar and proliferating periodontal tissue were then transplant...

One of the significant iatrogenic complications during endodontic treatment is Furcal perforations which may lead to failure. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been regarded as an ideal material for perforation repair. This case report describes repair furcal in a young permanent mandibular molar 10year-old male patient using MTA. The tooth was treated endodontically followed by placement zi...

Periodontitis is primarily a dental plaque induced inflammatory disease. Anatomic factors such as cervical enamel projections, enamel pearls, and developmental grooves are often associated with advanced, localized periodontal destruction. Enamel projections and pearls are mostly associated with molars. Enamel projections in the furcation areas of molars have no true attachment and are therefore...

the present report reviews the diagnostic and treatment challenges of a mandibular molar with previous root canal treatment and signs of a procedural mishap, i.e. furcal radiolucency and localized swelling of the gingival margin in which a sinus tract was present. by tracing the sinus tract, it became evident that the lesion originated from the furcation area, not the root apices. this case was...

The purpose of treating furcal perforation is to seal the artificial communication between canal space and periradicular tissue prevent periodontal breakdown. duration, size location were identified as primary prognostic factors for determining successful treatment. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been regarded an ideal material repair owing its excellent sealability biocompatibility. pres...

introduction: perforations of the pulpal floor create problems during endodontic treatment and often results in secondary periodontal involvement with eventual loss of teeth. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta), amalgam, zinc oxide and eugenol (zoe) and portland cement to seal furcal perforations in extracted human molars using dye penetrati...

this case report presents an uncommon case of maxillary molar with two palatal root canals and an enamel pearl in the furcation area. the article discusses root canal complexities of maxillary second molars as well as possibility of coexisting anomalies in the region that makes radiographic interpretation difficult and compromises the success of endodontic treatment.
