A 17-year-old patient with no specific pathological history who consulted for epistaxis with low abundance repetitions by the left nasal fossa associated with a homolateral stuffy nose sensation and episodes of fetid rinorrhea, since 7 months. The clinical examination reveal a patient in good shape . Examination of the nasal cavities found some blood clots in the left nasal cavity , the suction...

<p>Formocresol is widely used in pediatric endodontics as a pulpotomy medicament. Formocresol helps to fix soft tissues oral cavity such pulp. Care should be taken while using formocresol proper isolation techniques during its application an endodontic material, because of hazardous effects on tissue. This article elaborates the case chemical burns due improper handling dental treatment. ...

Odontogenic cysts are pathological cavities enclosed by fibrous connective tissue and lined with epithelial that develops from odontogenic tissues in the maxilla mandible's tooth-bearing regions. Trauma or tooth caries is main cause of radicular periapical cysts. Pulp necrosis outcome dental irritating pulp cavity. Once infection has reached root's tip, it causes periodontitis, which may lead t...

AIM The aim of the present work was to study the size of cavity wall deformation in eight class I and II defects after composite restoration. MATERIALS AND METHODS 1. Creating a geometric model - data on the size of the left maxillary second premolar were obtained from a routine craniofacial scanning of a 20-year-old patient with a 2,5 Dental CT scanner (General Electric), with high resolutio...

AIM To evaluate catalase (CAT, EC 1.11.1.6) activity in healthy and inflamed dental pulp of young patient's teeth and to investigate if an active defense system oxidizing agents is present as a response to bacterial invasion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty young patients between 15 and 25 ages, who were diagnosed to be healthy, were the source of the pulp tissue. The situation of the dental pul...

Calcifying nanoparticles (CNPs, previously called nanobacteria) are self-propagating, cultivable macromolecular complexes. Their extraordinary characteristic is that they can aggregate carbonate apatite on their envelope from soluble calcium and phosphorus at physiologic concentrations and display cytotoxic effects on murine and human fibroblast cell lines. The question arises whether CNPs cont...

The aim of this study was to identify species of the genus Candida in mucosa of oral cavity and in single-rooted teeth with pulp necrosis with chronic endodontic periapical processes, with radiographic images 2+/-4 mm and without clinical symptomatology, in immunocompetent patients. The study included 82 immunocompetent patients of both sexes aged 18-70 years with a clinical dental diagnosis of...

Odontogenesis is accomplished by reciprocal signaling between the epithelial and mesenchymal compartments. It is generally accepted that the inductive mesenchyme is capable of inducing the odontogenic commitment of both dental and non-dental epithelial cells. However, the duration of this signal in the developing dental mesenchyme and whether adult dental pulp tissue maintains its inductive cap...

Biocompatibility of dentin bonding agents (DBA) and composite resin may affect the treatment outcome (e.g., healthy pulp, pulpal inflammation, pulp necrosis) after operative restoration. Bisphenol-glycidyl methacrylate (BisGMA) is one of the major monomers present in DBA and resin. Prior studies focused on salivary esterase for metabolism and degradation of resin monomers clinically. This study...
