Following furcal perforation, bacteria may colonize the defect and cause inflammation periodontal destruction. This study used confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) to evaluate Enterococcus faecalis colonization proliferation in perforations repaired with different materials. Furcal created 55 extracted human mandibular molars were using either MTA-Angelus, Endocem, or Biodentine coronally ...

Root perforations adversely affect the prognosis of teeth. Inadequacy of the repair materials has been a contributing factor to the poor outcome of repair procedures. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) is a relatively new material that is being successfully used to repair perforations. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the success rate of root perforation repairs using MTA. A list of all ...

Free esophageal perforation following a hybrid visceral debranching and distal endograft extension to repair a ruptured thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) is a rare complication. The authors report a 56-year-old male who underwent elective thoracic endovascular aortic repair of a thoracic aneurysm. Four and a half years later, he presented with a new aneurysm extending from the distal end ...

Abstract These case reports aimed to describe the management of lateral perforation in middle cervical third root two maxillary incisors with pulp canal calcification using Bio-C Repair, safe and viable clinical treatment strategies. Digital radiographic exams were obtained different angles analyzed filters. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images requested show actual position canal, locat...

BACKGROUND Considering the presence of squamous epithelial cells and fibroblasts in the tympanic membrane (TM), topical estrogen application may influence the repair of TM perforations. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the healing effect of topical estrogen on chronic TM perforations and improvement in hearing threshold. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty patients were enrolled in a...

No consensus has been available to optimize the treatment of delayed esophageal perforation. The present study was to investigate the surgical treatment for delayed esophageal perforation with sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) flap after anterior cervical spine surgeries. The diagnosis and treatment of 5 esophageal perforations (May 2004 to January 2013) that occurred in a delayed fashion were r...

The risk of esophageal perforation following endoscopic balloon dilation for achalasia is in the range of 1%-5%, with a mortality rate of 1%-20%. Perforations need to be recognized early, and, if reasonable, an immediate endoscopic repair should be pursued quickly. Herein, we report a case of successful endoscopic closure by clipping of a large iatrogenic perforation in a patient with achalasia...

Giant peptic perforation is a life threatening surgical emergency with high mortality, but literature is silent on the exact definition, incidence, management and complications of giant perforations of peptic ulcers. The present study is a retrospective study comparing efficacy of omental plugging and omental patch in the repair of giant peptic perforation (≥2cm in diameter). This study was und...

INTRODUCTION Bowel injury during laparoscopic surgery is a rare but serious complication. A Bovie injury to the bowel can cause delayed perforation of the viscus, thus increasing the possibility of a preventable morbidity. Patients presenting with perforation peritonitis within 24 hours and up to 2 to 3 weeks after laparoscopic Bovie injury to the bowel have been reported in the literature. C...

PURPOSE To determine the rate of persistent tympanic membrane perforation after intratympanic steroid injection. To determine which comorbid conditions and risk factors are associated with prolonged time to perforation closure following intratympanic steroid injection. MATERIALS AND METHODS Clinical data were gathered for patients who had undergone intratympanic steroid injection to treat sud...
