introduction: tooth avulsion is a real dental emergency. if immediate replantation is not performed, the avulsed tooth may be lost due to inflammatory or replacement resorption. this animal study aimed to evaluate the bone response to the titanium coating of the root surface as an artificial barrier, and prevention of resorption of avulsed teeth. methods and materials: this experimental study w...

inflammatory external root resorption (ierr) after orthodontic treatments is an unusual complication. this case report describes a non-vital maxillary premolar with symptomatic extensive ierr (with a crown/root ratio of 1:1) after receiving orthodontic treatment. the first appointment included drainage, chemo-mechanical preparation of the canal and intra-canal medication with calcium hydroxide ...

the aim of this case report was to present a case of multiple idiopathic apical root resorption which is a rare condition in a 17-year-old adult male. external root resorption of the permanent teeth is a multifactorial process. well-recognized causes of apical root resorption in permanent teeth include orthodontic therapy, trauma, periapical or periodontal inflammation, tumors, cysts, occlusal ...

introduction: external root resorption (err) is associated with physiological and pathological dissolution of mineralized tissues by clastic cells and radiography is one of the most important methods in its diagnosis. the aim of this experimental study was to evaluate the accuracy of conventional intraoral radiography (cr) in comparison with digital radiographic techniques, i.e. charge-coupled ...

objective: osteopontin (opn) has been proposed to play a role in bone resorption. with regard to bone and cementum/dentin structural and histological similarities, it was hy-pothesized that expression of this gene might be increased in resorptive lacunae during orthodontic tooth movement. materials and methods: fixed nickel-titanium closed coil springs (dentaurum ® ) capa-ble of delivering appr...

resorption of tooth structures can occur as a result of physiological, pathological, and idiopathic factors. early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can prevent its serious complications. this case report presents surgical endodontic management of a trauma-induced perforating external root resorption, which was diagnosed with the help of cone beam computed tomography. following root canal tre...

background: the aim of this study was to evaluate the hypothesis that budesonide increases the susceptibility of teeth to root resorption during the course of orthodontic treatment. materials and methods: a randomized controlled trial design (animal study) was employed. budesonide was administered in test group for 14 days during which orthodontic force was applied to upper right molar. afterwa...

objective(s): to determine the effect of different doses of caffeine on orthodontic tooth movement (otm) in rats. materials and methods: forty male 250-300 g sprague-dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups of ten animals each and received 0 (control), 1 g/l, 2 g/l and 3 g/l caffeine in tap water for 3 days. orthodontic appliances were ligated between the maxillary first molars and in...
