OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to evaluate the frequency and distribution of early tooth loss and endodontic treatment needs of permanent first molars in a Turkish pediatric population. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 7,895 panoramic radiographs taken for routine dental examination at the Department of Oral Maxillofacial Radiology between 2008 and 2012 years were investigated. Two...

Fractured endodontically treated teeth below the gingival margin are often extracted and restored with implants or other prosthetic treatment options in many cases. However, dentists should carefully consider other treatment options for these teeth before deciding on extraction due to the risk of vertical and horizontal bone resorption subsequent to extraction as this resorption will result in ...

Introduction Advances in the field of scientific knowledge and technology has lead to improvement and better result of autologous tooth transplantation, which is the surgical movement in one individual of a vital or endodontically treated tooth from its original location in the mouth to another site 1 .The earliest reports of tooth transplantation involve slaves in ancient Egypt who were forced...

the root canal treatment (RCT) prognosis. The successful RCT prevents tooth loss and avoids pain and apical periodontitis. This review aimed to categorize common operative procedure errors and clinical factors associated with RCT. Based on this, will be approached common errors of procedures within the clinical operative sequence: endodontic treatment planning, pulp and periapical disease diagn...

The clinical success of a restorative procedure of endodontically treated teeth depends on the cementation used to create a link between the restoration and the tooth. The retention of a post is a major factor influencing the survival of the restoration. Most clinical failures involving endodontically treated teeth reconstructed with posts are due to cementation failure of posts, whereas root f...

This systematic review aims to summarize the current clinical studies that investigated survival rates against fracture of endodontically treated posterior teeth restored with crowns or resin composite restorations. Literature search were performed using keywords. Publications from 1980 to 2016 were searched in PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, MEDLINE, and SCOPUS. Included studies were se...

Tooth avulsion is defined as the complete displacement of the tooth out of its alveolar socket. The treatment of choice is immediate replantation or if that is not possible, placement of the tooth in an appropriate storage media. This report presents replantation of an avulsed maxillary central incisor after 12 hours of storage in milk. The tooth was replanted and splinted. One week later, it w...

Vertical root fractures associated with endodontically treated teeth present as one of the most difficult clinical problems to diagnose and treat .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 from clinical manifestations of periodontal and endodontic diseases. In as...

direct restoration of severely damaged endodontically treated teeth (ett) using available and conventional and current matrix systems is sometimes impractical and in some clinical cases is impossible. the aim of this paper is to introduce and describe a new matrix system based on rigid tray technique (rtt) for dealing with such difficult clinical cases.

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...
