The aim was to make an inventory of the current literature on the clinical performance of tooth- or implant-supported zirconia-based FDPs and analyse and discuss any complications. Electronic databases, PubMed.gov, Cochrane Library and Science Direct, were searched for original studies reporting on the clinical performance of tooth- or implant-supported zirconia-based FDPs. The electronic searc...

Horses can acquire cheek teeth (CT) fractures through many mechanisms, including external trauma, e.g. as a result of kicks, biting inanimate objects and crib biting. These traumatic fractures mainly occur in the anatomically more susceptible rostral mandibular CT. Fractures to CT can also be caused by iatrogenic trauma during dental treatments, such as cutting tall CT overgrowths with dental “...

PURPOSE The aim of the study was to investigate the association between dental injuries and facial fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a prospective study of 273 patients examined at a level 1 trauma center in Switzerland from September 2005 until August 2006 who had facial fractures. Medical history and clinical and radiologic examination findings were recorded to evaluate demograp...

PURPOSE To evaluate the cumulative survival rate (CSR) and mechanical complications of single-tooth Ankylos® implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective clinical study that analyzed 450 single Ankylos® implants installed in 275 patients between December 2005 and December 2012. The main outcomes were survival results CSR and implant failure) and mechanical complications (screw loo...

This investigation examined the relationships of tooth preparation and resin material types in repair of fractured anterior teeth by reattachment of fractured tooth fragments. A total of 44 extracted maxillary central incisors were tested. Statistical analysis revealed that no mechanical preparation of the enamel was as retentive as a 45°-circumferential bevel (p K .01). In addition, light-cure...

PURPOSE In this retrospective study, we analyzed immediate and late mandibular fractures after impacted lower third molar surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred fifty oral and maxillofacial surgeons in the north of- France were questioned about their experience with intraoperative and late mandibular fracture after third molar surgery. Cases were examined clinically and radiographically. ...

PURPOSE The objective of this study was to assess the outcomes for treated root-fractured permanent incisors with respect to pulp vitality, root tissue union, and tooth survival and to examine the effects of clinical and radiographic parameters and rigid splinting on the outcome. METHODS Eighty-four teeth were identified and data extracted from case notes prior to transfer to an SPSS data bas...

OBJECTIVE The goal of this project was to report the complications associated with mandibular angle fractures and identify variables affecting their occurrence. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the charts of patients with a mandibular angle fracture treated at the Centre hospitalier universitaire de Québec between 2009 and 2013. RESULTS Seventy-eight patients (73 males) aged 15-59 years ...

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...

Coronal fractures of permanent dentition are the most frequent type of dental injury. If the original tooth fragment is retained following fracture, the natural tooth structures can be reattached using adhesive protocols. The development and use of fiber-reinforced composite root canal posts make possible of the reattachment of the crown esthetically. This case report presents a clinical techni...
