Root resections were performed on 86 maxillary molars as part of periodontal therapy. The amputation sites were sealed with Dycal and amalgam. The teeth were evaluated for vitality using electric pulp testing and cold (ice) up to 9 yr postoperatively. The greatest loss of vitality occurred within 12 months. The percentage of vital teeth at 6 months was 59% and at 12 months 38%. The number of vi...

Persistent hemorrhage after complete amputation of coronal pulp is a common clinical finding during pulpotomy procedure in primary teeth. These teeth are best managed with pulpectomy, but they have hyperemic pulp with some remaining vital tissue. Good chemico-biomechanical preparation of primary canals cannot guarantee complete removal of this vital tissue from inaccessible areas. Use of Ca(OH)...

the developmental abnormality of tooth resulting from the infolding of enamel/dentin into the root is called dens invaginatus. management of such cases is usually challenging due to the morphological complexity of root canal system. this report presents a rare treatment protocol of a clinical case of oehler’s type iii dens invaginatus combined with an endodontic lesion in a vital maxillary late...

We describe prosthetic limb prescription in the first year following lower-limb amputation and examine the relationship between amputation level, geographic region, and prosthetic prescription. We analyzed 2005 to 2010 Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Inpatient and Medical Encounters SAS data sets, Vital Status death data, and National Prosthetic Patient Database data for 9,994 Veterans who ...
