Removal of the third molar is a common surgical procedure in the oral surgery department. It can be associated with a number of complications like excessive bleeding, abscess formation, nerve injury or mandibular fracture. Displacement of impacted third molars, either crown, root fragment, or the entire tooth, are the complications that occasionally occur during these operations. Minor complica...

Gingival clefts adjacent to the maxillary canine teeth present a challenge to the veterinary dental surgeon. Periodontal disease results in loss of attached gingiva resulting in periodontal pockets and/or gingival recession. Recession can extend apically toward or beyond the mucogingival margin resulting in clinical exposure of the root surface and subsequent cleft formation. A lateral sliding ...

Mucosal fenestration is a clinical condition where tooth root apices are visible in the oral cavity due to loss of overlying alveolar bone and mucosa. Mucosal fenestration mostly affect maxillary incisors. The present case series reports two cases where patient reported with complaint of unesthetic appearance because of exposed roots of maxillary anterior teeth which on radiographic examination...

AIM The purpose of this report is to present a case of endodontic management of a dilacerated maxillary central incisor fused to supernumerary tooth unusually appearing as a labial tubercle using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) as a diagnostic aid. BACKGROUND Anterior teeth are commonly encountered with aberrant anatomical variations in the crown, number of roots, and root canals. Fusion...

OBJECTIVE To observe dynamic changes in root resorption repair, tooth movement relapse and alveolar bone microstructure following the application of orthodontic force. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forces of 20 g, 50 g or 100 g were delivered to the left maxillary first molars of fifteen 10-week-old rats for 14 days. Each rat was subjected to micro-computed tomography scanning at 0, 3, 7, 10, 14, 28 ...

A root canal treatment generally involves the removal and replacement of a tooth’s pulp. The pulp is soft tissue containing blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue. dThe pulp is found in a canal that runs through the center of the hard tissue on the inside of the tooth (the dentin). dThe pulp extends from the pulp chamber in the crown down through the root canal to the tip of the root in th...

Here, we report the management of a type I endoperiodontal lesion with furcation bone loss. A 59-year-old female attended our hospital with the chief complaint of mobility of tooth 46 and recurrent gingival swelling around the tooth. She previously received dental treatment from two dentists, but her condition did not improve. The tooth manifested the symptoms of typical periodontitis, such as ...

Vertical root fracture(VRF) is one of the common reasons for extraction of endodontically treated teeth. Though many options of saving such teeth were available, they were not of much success. Therefore the objective of this article is to discuss one such case. A 50 year old male patient reported with Vertical root fracture and 15 mm of periodontal probing depth in the distal aspect of 14. Radi...

When a tooth is avulsed and replanted following traumatic dental injury, complications such as replacement and inflammatory resorption may occur. Ultimately, resorption may result in loss of the tooth. This case report describes a traumatic injury to a permanent tooth resulting in complete root resorption within a short period, which required surgery. In the present case, improper treatment mea...
