BACKGROUND This study reports the case of a 14-year-old girl in good state of health who presented with the apical third of the buccal root of the first upper right premolar that penetrated the alveolar buccal plate and overlying mucosa, being exposed to the oral environment. The treatment rationale is presented and compared with other therapeutic options described in the literature. METHODS ...

Furcation lesions are associated with increased risk of progressive loss of connective tissue attachment, alveolar bone resorption, and tooth mortality (Bjorn and Hjort, 1982; Becker et al, 1984; Wang et al, 1994; Wood et al, 1989; Hirshfield and Wasserman, 1978; McFall, 1982; Carranza and Jolkovsky, 1991), representing one of the greatest challenges in periodontal therapy. Surgical management ...

One of the most important indications for guided tissue regeneration (GTR) treatment is class II furcation lesion. However, periodontal regeneration of this type of defect, although possible, is not considered totally predictable, especially in terms of complete bone fill. Many factors may account for variability in the response to regenerative therapy in class II furcation. The purpose of this...

Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) is a well-established procedure for the regeneration of alveolar bone defects. In case highly complex defect situations, however, inconsistent treatment results are often achieved. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fulfills several relevant preliminary success criteria improved regenerative outcomes in defects: HA supports creation toxin-free wound area, improves space stabili...
