This study investigated the effect of a crown-lengthening ferrule on the fracture resistance of endodontically-treated teeth restored with two dowel-core systems. Thirty-two extracted mandibular first premolars were sectioned perpendicular to the long axis at a point 1.0 mm occlusal to the buccal cementoenamel junction. Following endodontic treatment, the teeth were randomly assigned to four gr...

OBJECTIVE To review the literature searching for a consensus for the choice of orthodontic extrusion as treatment for crown-root fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic search was performed in the databases PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Scopus and a manual search of the Journal Dental Traumatology. RESULTS Forty articles were found in PubMed and 38 in Scop...

objectives: fracture strength is an important factor influencing the clinical long-term success of implant-supported prostheses especially in high stress situations like excessive crown height space (chs). the purpose of this study was to compare the fracture strength of implant-supported fixed partial dentures (fpds) with excessive crown height, fabricated from three different materials. mater...

Restoration of crown-root fractures with the involvement supracrestal attached tissues represents difficulties for clinicians, as these types require a multidisciplinary approach adequate treatment and successful prognosis. Depending on location fracture, different approaches, such periodontal crown lengthening procedures, rapid orthodontic or surgical root extrusion tooth extraction followed b...

INTRODUCTION A number of vital pulp therapy techniques have been recommended to preserve pulp vitality in teeth with complicated crown fractures, especially in young patients. Calcium hydroxide has been the gold standard as a pulp capping material, but recently mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been recommended. This case report describes the treatment of tooth discoloration caused by white ...

The purpose of this case report was to present the multidisciplinary management of a subgingival crown-root fracture of a patient undergoing apexification treatment. A 12-year-old male patient was referred to the pediatric dentistry clinic with an extensive tooth fracture of the right permanent maxillary lateral incisor. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed the presence of a complica...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the fracture strength endodontically treated human maxillary premolars (ETP) restored with posts and metal ceramic (MC) or monolithic zirconia (MZ) crowns. Sixty ETP were randomly divided into 3 groups. Teeth in control group (C) received a resin filling. MC prefabricated posts, composite cores crowns while MZ glass-fiber Half specimens loaded at 135...

Introduction: Complicated crown fractures involve enamel, dentin, and pulp and occur in 0.9 to l3% of all dental injuries. If left untreated, will always result in pulp necrosis but, if it handled correctly, prognosis of the pulp following a traumatic crown fracture can be favorable. Case Report: The present case report describes an apexogenesis report of a 9-year old boy referred to department...
