INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to compare, in a split mouth design, the external apical root resorption (EARR) associated with orthodontic treatment in root-filled maxillary incisors and their contralateral teeth with vital pulps. METHODOLOGY The study sample consisted of 38 patients (14 males and 24 females), who had one root-filled incisor before completion of multiband/bracket ...

An attempt to preserve the knee joint in a patient on hemodialysis with stage IV lower limb ischemia high risk of thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications is presented. Multifocal atherosclerosis extensive occlusion arteries leg ruled out technical possibility revascularization. The refused proposed hip amputation. was made perform amputation at level leg. Required therapy aimed treatment preve...

INTRODUCTION There is a lack of research to support the belief that root canal treatment can be considered for stopping or decreasing external apical root resorption (EARR). There is conflicting evidence as to whether root-filled teeth are more or less likely to experience EARR after orthodontic treatment. The purpose of this study was to compare the degree of EARR of root-filled teeth with tha...

The long-term preservation of a permanent tooth is only possible if it has a proper crown-to-root ratio and the dentin walls are sufficiently stable to ensure normal function. After endodontic treatment of carious, young permanent teeth with not yet fully developed roots, apexogenesis and normal root development is only possible if the radicular part of the pulp remains intact.5 Also in this ca...

Aim: Previous studies have demonstrated that orthodontic forces may injure dental pulp tissue via the apical foramen. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of various cytokines in pulp tissues of root apex after orthodontic tooth movement and compare the amount of internal root resorption in vital and pulp less rat teeth. Methods: Upper right first molars of 7-week Wistar ...

This study evaluated the effects of Albanian propolis on the inflamed pulpal tissue after pulpotomy in piglets. In five piglets, two teeth each were infected using special pathogenic microbial flora that was prepared in advance in order to cause inflammation of the pulp. Pulpotomy was performed in the maxillary and mandibular central and lateral incisors. Microbial flora pathogenesis prepared f...

A total of 52 patients having non-vital anterior teeth who attended at the Department of Conservative Dentistry of a Government Dental College of the city of Kolkata, India where studied for isolation of different microflora in the root canals of the non-vital teeth. 41 (78.8%) out of 52 cases studied showed the presence of microorganisms in the root canal of the teeth. A total of 83 different ...
