Pea seeds were swollen in solutions with different concentrations of cytokinin benzyladenine (BA). As compared with controls, a low concentration of BA (0.05 mg/l) did not affect the growth of stems and roots of twelve-day-old seedlings but concentrations of 0.20–4.00 mg/l showed an inhibiting effect; this inhibition was proportional to the concentration of BA. In controls the ratio between the...

Introduction. Vertical root fracture (VRF) is one of the most frustrating complications of root canal treatment. The prognosis of the root with VRF is poor therefore tooth extraction and root amputation are usually the only treatment options. However, bonding of the fracture line with adhesive resin cement during the intentional replantation procedure was recently suggested as an alternative to...

A research protocal for submucosal vital root retention in humans has been developed based on laboratory animal studies. Procedures, patient management, and statistical results have been reported in a series of three articles. Changes in techniques have also been reported, along with explanation of a flowchart for tooth root retention and alveolar ridge preservation. Some ideas for future inves...

Clinical Management of a Maxillary Lateral Incisor With Vital Pulp and Type 3 Dens Invaginatus: A Case Report Sashi Nallapati, BDS A maxillary right lateral incisor with a type 3 dens invaginatus and a large periapical lesion with vital pulp in a separate root canal was treated both nonsurgically and surgically. Care was taken not to expose or devitalize the vital pulp in the main root canal sy...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to examine radiographically changes in the periapical status and compare the clinical status of teeth with a vital pulp and root-filled teeth restored with crowns and bridge retainers during 25 years.
