PURPOSE To report 2 cases of delayed spontaneous Descemet membrane (DM) reattachment following big-bubble deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). METHODS A 21-year-old man with keratoconus and a 36-year-old woman with corneal macular dystrophy underwent big-bubble DALK. No injury to DM was noted intraoperatively or postoperatively. Postoperatively, the patients developed central DM detach...

PURPOSE To document by optical coherence tomography (OCT) the reattachment of the margins of a retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tear. METHODS Single case report, documented by OCT scans, autofluorescence and fluorescein angiography. RESULTS A 67-year-old male presented with a spontaneous RPE tear due to age-related macular degeneration in his right eye. Three months later we observed that t...

Injury of anterior teeth is a relatively common event that mainly affects children and adolescents. Dentists are confronted with managing dental trauma and restoring fractured teeth on a regular basis. Hence the techniques that speed and simplify the treatment, restore esthetics and improve long term success rate are considered of potential value. If an intact tooth fragment is present after tr...

Coronal fractures of permanent dentition are the most frequent type of dental injury. Fractured anterior teeth are usually treated with conventional post and core and crown techniques, after being treated endodontically. If the original tooth fragment is retained following fracture, the natural tooth structures can be reattached using adhesive protocols. Fiber-reinforced post makes the reattach...

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...
