Introduction: Different treatment approaches are indicated for crown-root fractured teeth. Surgical extrusion is a onestep procedure that implies immediate repositioning of the tooth into its normal position. The aim of this case report was to report the multidisciplinary treatment of a crownroot fractured maxillary premolar. Methods: In this case, a crown-root fractured maxillary premolar was ...

OBJECTIVES To make an inventory of clinical studies on single-tooth restorations supported by implants using a systematic review procedure and to aggregate overall survival results. DATA SOURCES Papers referring to single-tooth implants were located by a MEDLINE search 1990 to April 1998. Three hundred and twenty references were found, and they were subjected to a systematic review procedure....

Orofacial trauma is a serious orodental and general health problem that may have medical, esthetic and psychological consequences for children and their parents. When the root of the primary tooth is close to the unerupted permanent tooth, primary tooth trauma may result in developmental disturbances and pulpal reaction in that permanent tooth. We report an unusual case in which injury to the p...

Unworn teeth of herbivorous mammals are not immediately functional. They have to be partially worn to expose enamel ridges which can then act as shear-cutting blades to break the food down. We use the Plains Zebra (Equus quagga) as a hypsodont, herbivorous model organism to investigate how initial wear of the tooth crown is controlled by underlying structures. We find that the enamel proportion...

This clinical case describes a treatment approach that combines, in a single appointment, a crown lengthening procedure and the final crown preparation for the restoration of a severely decayed tooth. This approach allows for a more accurate placement of the crown margin in relation to the bone crest while reducing treatment time.

Trauma may result in craze lines on the enamel surface, one or more fractured cusps of posterior teeth, cracked tooth syndrome, splitting of posterior teeth, and vertical fracture of root. Out of these, management of some fractures is of great challenge and such teeth are generally recommended for extraction. Literature search reveals attempts to manage such fractures by full cast crown, orthod...

The diagnosis of cracked tooth is difficult in the early stage because the symptoms are not consistent, and often a crack line is not visible. Early detection and proper treatment of cracked tooth are important because all cracks have the potential to become a split tooth. 1. Be reminded that cracked tooth occurs usually on mandibular and maxillary first molars in patients in their 40s and 50s....

Traumatic injury to a primary tooth can affect the underlying permanent tooth germ, and may result in a malformed, hypoplastic crown or root. The degree and nature of malformation depends on the injury. Most trauma cases can be diagnosed using conventional 2-dimensional radiographs, but some cases may benefit from more advanced 3-dimensional imaging such as cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)....

Dentigerous or follicular cysts are one of the most prevalent types of odontogenic cysts and are associated with the crown of an unerupted or developing tooth.' The cyst enclosing the crown of the unerupted tooth also is attached to the tooth along the cervical region. The teeth most often involved are mandibular third molars, maxillary canines, and mandibular premolars. Usually, dentigerous cy...

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 ...
