INTRODUCTION Vertical root fracture inevitably leads to tooth extraction. Thus, root filling with obturating materials and sealers that can reinforce the tooth would be an ideal way to reduce fracture in root treated teeth. This study aimed to assess the fracture resistance of roots following the application of different sealers including Epiphany, iRoot sealer and AH-plus. METHODS AND MATERI...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the resistance of fracture of mesio-occlusal-distal (MOD) ceramic inlays and composite fillings in premolars and to compare fracture modes between the groups. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty seven extracted intact human premolars were selected and divided into three groups: I - intact teeth (control group), II - MOD cavities restored with indirect cer...

Restoration of endodontically treated teeth is one the major challenges faced in field operative dentistry. In tooth, most part tooth structure lost because dental caries, conventional access cavity preparation and biomechanical during root canal therapy. They become very weak brittle also more prone to fracture compared vital

AIMS To assess the relationship of anterior tooth fractures with type of occlusion and craniofacial morphology. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was conducted on 76 subjects of age group 9 to 13 years with at least one fractured permanent anterior teeth. Lateral cephalograms were taken and study models were prepared for each subject with prior consent of their parents. Then cephalometric traci...

AIM To report a maxillary central incisor tooth with a horizontal root fracture and incomplete root development that healed and was then moved orthodontically some years after the traumatic injury. SUMMARY A 7-year-old girl attended following trauma to the maxillary anterior region. Radiologic examination revealed a horizontal root fracture in the middle third of the maxillary right central i...

Chronic smoking can lead to failure of Osseo integration due to decrease in local blood flow and failure of cell proliferation by by-products of smoking. This along with immediate failure of a malpositioned implant, devitalization of adjacent tooth necessitating a call for endodontic treatment or the fracture of the adjacent tooth due to malpositioned implant, fracture of the prosthesis due to ...

Metal ceramic restorations have been implicated for the discoloration in area of labiogingivalmargin. Attempts to rectify this, by altering the design of metal frameworkswill lead to decrease in fracture strength atmargin. This in vitro study compared the fracture strength at margins of metal ceramic crowns cemented to metal tooth analogs. Crowns evaluated with different marginal configurations...

Background Crown fracture is the most common type of fracture and frequently affects the anterior teeth. Crown fractures have been treated in several ways depending on the location and kind of fracture. This case emphasizes reattachment of fractured fragments using fiber-reinforced post. Also this case report underlines the related aesthetic concerns of reattaching of the fractured fragment. ...

Exposing sound structure of a subgingivally fractured tooth using orthodontic extrusion is considered to be a conservative way to re-establish biologic width without sacrificing esthetics or jeopardizing periodontal support of neighboring teeth. When a misaligned tooth is traumatically involved, a more comprehensive approach combining tooth extrusion and re-alignment may be necessary for a succ...
