Coronal fractures of the anterior teeth are common sequelae of dental trauma. In case of complex fractures, where the fractured segment is available and there is close approximation of the segment to the remaining tooth, root canal treatment followed by reattachment of the fractured segment with fiber post reinforcement is a feasible option. The procedure is simple and economic and needs less chair-side time as compared to many conventional methods. In addition, the procedure provides good and long-lasting esthetics, because the original morphology, color, and surface texture are maintained. This paper reports three cases of complex coronal tooth fracture successfully managed using tooth fragment reattachment.

ABSTRACT Crown fractures of the anterior teeth are a common form of dental trauma mainly affecting children and adolescents. One of the options for managing crown fractures is the reattachment of the fractured fragment when the tooth fragment is available with minimal or no violation of the biological width. Reattachment of fractured fragments can provide good esthetics, as it maintains the tooth's original anatomic form, color, and surface texture. It also restores function and is a relatively simple procedure. This case report deals with the esthetic management of a crown-root fracture that was successfully treated with endodontic treatment followed by reattachment of fractured fragment with fiber post.

Background: This clinical trial aimed to compare the effects of bioceramic sealer and resin-based sealer on the incidence and intensity of postoperative pain. Methods: Patients with anterior teeth or premolars requiring root canal treatment were assigned to group 1 (n = 51). Those with molars requiring treatment were assigned to group 2 (n = 57). In groups 1En and 2En, root canals were obturated with Endoseal MTA using the single-cone technique. In groups 1AH and 2AH, the sealer used was AH Plus with the continuous wave technique. On the day of canal filling, each patient was instructed to indicate their pain intensity over the 7 day postoperative period, at rest and, while biting, using a visual analog scale. Results: There was no significant difference in the incidence or intensity of postoperative pain between the Endoseal MTA and AH Plus groups during the 7 day postoperative period (p > 0.05). Less time was needed to seal the root canals with Endoseal MTA, especially in group 2 (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Endoseal MTA and AH Plus had similar effects on the incidence and intensity of postoperative pain. The obturation time was shorter when using Endoseal MTA compared to AH Plus.

(1) Background: To assess orthodontic forced eruption (OFE) as a pre-restorative procedure for non-restorable permanent teeth with subgingival dental hard tissue defects after dental trauma. (2) Methods: A systematic electronic search of three databases, namely, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and EMBASE, revealed a total of 2757 eligible publications. Randomized controlled clinical trials (RCT), retro- and prospective clinical studies, or case series (with a minimum of three patients) were reviewed. (3) Results: Thirteen full-text papers were included: one RCT, one prospective clinical trial, two retrospective cohort studies, and nine case series. Within case series, statistical significance between age and cause of fracture (p < 0.03) was determined. The mean extrusion rate of OFE was 1.5 mm a week within a four to six weeks treatment period followed by retention. Three OFE protocols for maxillary single teeth are available: 1. OFE without migration of gingiva and alveolar bone, 2. OFE with gingival migration and slight alveolar bone migration, and 3. OFE with migration of both gingiva and alveolar bone. (4) Conclusions: The current state of the evidence suggests that OFE is a feasible pre-treatment option for non-restorable permanent teeth. OFE can promote the migration of tooth surrounding hard and soft tissues in the esthetic zone. Root resorption does not seem to be a relevant side effect of OFE.

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of calcium hydroxide as a root canal dressing material on dentin microtensile fracture strength in human primary teeth in vitro. Study design: Thirty primary anterior teeth with root canals packed with calcium hydroxide were divided into groups of ten and immersed in saline at room temperature for 7, 30 and 90 days. Ten teeth with root canals filled with sterile saline were the control group. Microtensile fracture strength was measured in Mechanical tester Lloyd testing machine. Results: There was a significant difference (P &lt; 0.05) between the fracture strength of the calcium hydroxide-filled teeth after 90 days (19.1 MPa) compared with the control (35.8 MPa). Dentin microtensile fracture strength of the calcium hydroxide-filled teeth decreased at an average of 0.142 MPa per day. Conclusion: Calcium hydroxide placed in root canals for an extended time had a significantly negative effect on root strength. Long-term success of root canal treatment in primary anterior teeth is estimated as 65% with most of the failures result from trauma recurrence. Clinical Relevance: Our results stress the need to evaluate the pros and cons of root canal treatment compared to extractions of non-vital primary incisors.

Objectives: The intent of this study was to evaluate and compare the preferences and treatment choices between dentists and dental interns with regard to the following different treatment modalities: Root Canal Treatment (RCT) with restoration versus extraction with Implant-Supported Crown (ISC) or surgical treatment in relation to the given case scenarios. Methods: The questionnaire was presented as an online survey with a case scenario. The total number of the respondents were 165. The four clinical case scenarios included an anterior and posterior tooth having apical periodontitis, with and without previous RCT. The treatment options were as follows: RCT with restoration, extraction then implant, and surgical treatment. Results: A total of 165 dentists and dental interns were included in this study. A hundred and three 62.4% respondents were dentists, 60; 36.3% were males and 105; 63.7% were females. Most of the respondents graduated from the College of Dentistry, Jazan University (93.9%). The highest percentages and numbers for Anterior Teeth (AT) were selected in related to the RCT and restorations in the four scenarios among gender, dentists, and interns, with no considerable differences. A high percentage of RCT and restoration option was recorded for Posterior Teeth (PT) with no previous restoration and around 50% for the same treatment modality to posterior teeth with previous restorations. For Future Planning Postgraduate Studies (FPPS), it was obvious that most of the selected specialties agreed with the RCT and restorations choice. Conclusion: All dentists and interns in both genders preferred RCT with restorations over extraction, and then ISC in the AT with and without previous RCTs. In the PT with no previous RCT, the participants agreed that RCT with restorations is superior to other choices. Among the FPPS, the respondents demonstrated an absolute agreement to RCT and restorations as a treatment of choice for different scenarios. Clinical Significance: Dentists should preserve the natural teeth by RCT with restoration as the first treatment choice followed by other choices. The nonsurgical approach should always be adopted as a routine measure in PA lesions of endodontic origin. Conservative orthograde endodontic therapy demonstrates favorable outcomes with a regular periodic review and assessment of the healing process of PA lesions.

Latar belakang. Masalah pulpa dan periodontal menyebabkan lebih dari 50% kehilangan gigi. Kasus pada laporan kasus ini merupakan lesi primer endodontik dan lesi sekunder periodontal dan secara klinis terdapat sinus tract. Kondisi ini merupakan kasus yang secara kolaborasi dikerjakan oleh bidang konservasi gigi dan bidang periodonsia untukmemdapatkan hasil yang maksimal. Kasus. Terdapat tiga kasus lesi endodonti-periodontal, dua merupakan kasus (gigi 21 dan 37) yang setelah beberapa tahun dilakukan perawatan saluran akar (PSA) mengalami pembentukan sinus tract, dan satu kasus (gigi 47) yang setelah PSA namun tidak memeperlihatkan perbaikan sinus tract yang terbentuk di gingiva. Tindakan bedah flap periodontal dilakukan untuk mencari penyebab, menghilangkan jaringan granulasi, dan memperbaiki kerusakan tulang alveolar yang terjadi. Seluruh kasus terlihat terdapat kerusakan tulang anguler di daerah furkasi pada gigi posterior (37 dan 47), dan daerah interdental pada gigi anterior (21); satu kasus (gigi 21) mengalami fenestrasi di fasial. Defek tulang anguler dan daerah fenestrasi setelah dibersihkan dari jaringan granulasi yang terinfeksi, diisi dengan graf tulang dan ditutup oleh membran pericardium sebagai guided tissue regeneration (GTR), kemudian dijahit. Kontrol 14 hari setelah tindakan bedah, sinus tract  telah hilang dan warna gingiva normal. Kesimpulan. Lesi endodontik-periodontal yang memperlihatkan sinus tract yang persisten setelah perawatan saluran akar merupakan indikasi adanya kerusakan periodontal yang kompleks. Defek periodontal kompleks bisa diperbaiki dengan tindakan bedah regeneratif.Kata kunci. Lesi endodontik-periodontal, sinus tract, defek tulang anguler, fenestrasi Abstract Background. Dental pulp and periodontal problems account for more than 50% of tooth loss. The cases in this case report were primary endodontic lesions and secondary periodontal lesions and clinically contained a sinus tract. This report is a collaborative carried out by the conservative dentistry and periodontics to obtain maximum results. Case. There were three cases of endodontic-periodontal lesions, two were cases (teeth 21 and 37) where after several years of root canal treatment had sinus tract formation, and one case (tooth 47) after endodontic treatment but did not show any improvement in the sinus tract in the gingiva. Periodontal flap surgery is performed to find the cause, remove the granulation tissue, and repair the alveolar bone damage that has occurred. All cases showed angular bone defects in the furcation areas of the posterior teeth (37 and 47), and the interdental areas of the anterior teeth (21); one case (tooth 21) had facial fenestration. Angular bone defects and areas of fenestration after cleaning of infected granulation tissue, filled with bone graft and covered by pericardial membrane as guided tissue regeneration (GTR), then sutured. Control 14 days after surgery, the sinus tract was gone and the gingival color was normal. Conclusion. Endodontic-periodontal lesions showing persistent sinus tracts after root canal treatment are indicated of complex periodontal damage. Complex periodontal defects can be corrected with regenerative surgery.Keywords. endodontic-periodontal lesions, sinus tract, angular bone defect, fenestration

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of magnification during post space preparation on root cleanness and on fiber post bond strength. Methods: Thirty human central upper incisors with similar root canal in size and shape were selected, decoronated to 15 mm and endodontically filled. The teeth were assigned into 3 groups (n=10), according to the method of magnification during post space preparation inspection: Control, using naked eye; loupe, using a dental surgical 3x magnifying glass; surgical microscope, using a 6x surgical microscope. The roots were scanned by using micro-CT before and after post space preparation for residue remnants evaluation. Fiber posts were cemented using self-adhesive resin cement (Rely X U200, 3M-ESPE). Two 1-mm-thick slices from the cervical, medium and apical thirds were submitted to a push-out test (PBS). Failures modes were classified. PBS data were analyzed by using two-way ANOVA with repeated measurement and the Tukey test. The significance level was set at 5%. The method of visualization had no effect on PBS (p=0.556). The cervical region had higher values than apical region irrespective of the inspection method (p=0.012). Adhesive failure between the resin cement and dentin was the prevalent failure mode for all groups. Micro-CT analysis showed no difference on root cleanness into the root canal after post space preparation. The use of magnification devices as loupe and microscope while performing post space do not improve the PBS and did not affect sealer remain of decoronated anterior teeth.

Traumatic dental injuries are particularly common in school-age children and often occur in the anterior region. Process management of cases is possible with alternative treatments according to the root development levels. This case series is aimed to present the treatment and 2-year follow-up of permanent anterior teeth with traumatic dental injuries. Case 1: An 8-year-old patient, who had a bicycle accident 20 days earlier, was diagnosed with extrusion of #31. Due to late admission to the clinic, no repositioning procedure was applied to the tooth. Regenerative endodontic treatment was performed. During the radiological follow-up, the apex was closed in the 12th month; however, it was observed that obliteration started in the root canal at the 24th month. The case is still being followed up at regular intervals. Case 2: A 13-year-old patient, who had a traffic accident 3 days prior, was diagnosed with subluxation in #11, and a root fracture was detected in the apical third of #21. In #21, root canal treatment was applied to the coronal part of the fragments. After the diagnosis of pulp necrosis in #11 in the 2nd month of the follow-up period, root canal filling was applied. During the follow-up period, no pathology was detected and no granulation tissue was formed between the fragments in #21. In traumatic dental injuries, long-term follow-up, well-timed endodontic treatments, and material selection play an important role in success. With regenerative endodontic treatment, successful results can be obtained even in treatments applied in late-admitted patients.
