Traumatic injuries of the maxillary anterior teeth, especially the permanent dentition, have a psychological impact on both the parents and the child as untreated fractured teeth has been directly related to the emotional state and appearance [1,2]. Dental trauma can result in a number of injuries involving the tooth and the supporting structures. Six types of luxation and seven types of tooth ...

Coronal fractures of permanent dentition are the most frequent type of dental injury. If the original tooth fragment is retained following fracture, the natural tooth structures can be reattached using adhesive protocols. The development and use of fiber-reinforced composite root canal posts make possible of the reattachment of the crown esthetically. This case report presents a clinical techni...

The case presented is designed to draw attention to the increasingly common occurrence of tooth fracture as a result of trauma incurred from a barbell inserted during tongue piercing. Oral piercing is on the rise. Of concern to health personnel are the associated risks, which include damage to dentition, infection, speech impediment and nerve damage. Also of concern is the belief that in some c...

introduction: the aim of this study was to compare the formation of dentinal crack and craze lines in the root dentin during root canal preparation with three different niti endodontic systems, naming reciproc (rcp), protaper universal (ptu) and mtwo. methods and materials: one hundred extracted mandibular premolars with single canals were selected and decoronated. the teeth were randomly divid...

AIM The purpose of this study was to compare the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth restored with different post and core systems in combination with complete metal crowns in teeth with no coronal structure. METHOD AND MATERIALS Fifty extracted mandibular premolars were divided into five groups. The coronal portion of each tooth was removed at the cementoenamel junction (CEJ)...

This study evaluated, in vitro, the loss of tooth substance after cavity preparation for direct and indirect restorations and its relationship with fracture strength of the prepared teeth. Sixty sound human maxillary first premolars were assigned to 6 groups (n=10). MOD direct composite cavities (Groups I, II and III) and indirect inlay cavities (Groups IV, V and VI) were prepared maintaining s...

INTRODUCTION Robotic technology has been safely integrated into thoracic and abdominopelvic surgery, and the early experience has been very promising with very rare complications related to robotic device failure. Recently, several reports have documented the technical feasibility of transoral robotic surgery (TORS) with the daVinci Surgical System. Proposed pharyngeal and laryngeal application...
