autogenous tooth transplantation (att) is a simple and reasonable choice for replacing the missing teeth when a proper donor tooth is available. this report presents a case of successful att of a maxillary right third molar for replacement of mandibular right second molar with a concomitant endodontic-periodontal disease. the mandibular second molar was believed to be hopeless due to a severe d...

statement of problem: various factors are involved in causing inflammation following root canal treatment. controlling these factors may relieve the related pain. one of these factors is extrusion of debris beyond the apex. although debris extrusion happens in all instrumentation techniques, researchers have declared that in coronal flaring technique, there is minimum debris extrusion. purpose:...

In radiology, as in every other medical speciality, the daily practice includes an intrinsic risk of human errors with potentially dangerous consequences to the patient. In particular, interpretation of medical imagines request skill and expertise obtained after a long training because of the difficulty to recognize the presence of pathological aspects, so the most common cause for a medical ma...

Introduction Increasing attention is being directed to the relationship between carbohydrate consumption and cardiovascular disease. However, the principle focus is largely upon obvious disturbances in carbohydrate me­ tabolism (e.g. diabetes mellitus) and clas­ sical evidence of cardiovascular pathosis (i.e. ischemic heart disease). Because of their chronicity, this report is designed to relat...

A fundamental principle in traditional dental practice has been the preservation and rehabilitation of natural teeth. Endodontic treatment procedures have played a key role in this context in the retention and restoration to function of teeth affected by pulp and/or periapical pathosis..The extraction of hopeless teeth is considered as the last resort due to limited restorative options or finan...

PURPOSE The objective of this outcome study was to compare ferric sulfate pulpotomy (FS) and primary tooth root canal therapy (RCT) on cariously exposed vital pulps of primary molars. METHODS A total of 291 molars were treated in 130 children--182 molars received FS and 109 received RCT by random selection. RESULTS At 2-year reassessment, 116 molars (73 FS, 43 RCT) were available for clinic...

Nonhealing periradicular pathosis associated with endodontically treated teeth is customarily managed by revision (retreatment). Root-end resection is less often the first choice of treatment. Objectives. This prospective randomized study compared the outcome of retreatment and surgical intervention in root cana[ treated teeth with nonhealing periradicular pathosis. Study design. One such tooth...
