The advances in adhesive dentistry have allowed dentists to use the patient’s own fragment to restore the fractured tooth. The present case report describes management of a complicated fracture of maxillary right central incisor treated endodontically, followed by reattachment of the same fragment using fiber post. Reattachment of fractured tooth fragments offers a viable restorative alternativ...

A most frustrating complication to root canal therapy is vertical root fracture (VRF) in an endodontically treated tooth. Prognosis most often is hopeless and differential diagnosis from other pathoses may be difficult at times. Nevertheless, proper diagnosis is critical to distinguish a fracture complication from clinical manifestations of periodontal and endodontic diseases. This review empha...

Coronal rehabilitation of endodontically treated posterior teeth is still a controversial issue. Although the classical crown supported by radicular metal posts remains widely spread in dentistry, its invasiveness has been largely criticized. New materials and therapeutic options based entirely on adhesion are nowadays available. They allow performing a more conservative, faster and less expens...

Mandibular premolars are known to have numerous anatomic variations of their roots and root canals, which are a challenge to treat endodontically. The paper reviews literature to detail the various clinically relevant anatomic considerations with detailed techniques and methods to successfully manage these anomalies. An emphasis and detailed description of every step of treatment including preo...

Successful final restoration is important for the long term success of root canal treatment. A lack of adhesion in a final restoration could result in apical or coronal leakage that causes problems in the root canal treatment. Endodontically-treated teeth frequently require extensive restorations with post-core system. ABSTRACT The Influence of AH-26 and Zinc Oxide-Eugenol Root Canal Sealer on ...

This report presents a case of 10 years old girl who was referred to the pediatric dentistry clinic sustaining a sever trauma led to crown fracture and intrusive luxation of immature maxillary incisors. Antibiotic therapies were initiated at first visit, and after surgical exposure both intruded and extruded teeth were endodontically treated by calcium hydroxide. Orthodontic repositioning was p...

Vertical root fracture is a frequent complication in endodontically treated teeth and usually leads to extraction of the affected tooth. Differential diagnosis may be difficult, especially in patients with periodontal and endodontic disease. This case report describes the diagnosis and clinical and radiographic features of apical periodontitis and vertical root fracture of the same tooth, which...

INTRODUCTION Although it is apparent that teeth become more susceptible to fracture after root canal treatment, the contributing factors for this are not completely established. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are changes in nanomechanical properties of dentin in root canal-treated teeth compared with non-root canal-treated control teeth. METHODS Atomic force microsco...
