Revascularization - 6 years follow up

One of the main objective in case of incomplete root formation is to re-establish the blood flow allowing the continuation of the root development. Nowadays, the revascularization technique is an alternative to the traditional apexification using calcium hydroxide for a period of time in order to induce a formation of calcified apical barrier .  Infection […]

The Sandwich Technique: A Convenient and Predictable method for Root Perforation Repair

Root perforations are defined as communications between the root canal space and the periodontium. These communications may be caused by a pathological process (as: external or internal resorption) or as a result of an iatrogenic error (as: misdirection/improper size of the post space drill, drilling through the chamber floor or improper root canal instrumentation)1. According […]

Mid-Root Perforation Repair : A Case Report

Endodontic perforation is an iatrogenic procedural error defined as a communication between the root canal system and the periodontal attachment apparatus through the root canal walls. This defect may occur on any  given tooth at any stage of root canal therapy, from access cavity to post space preparation.   Same day Emergency appointment of a 45 year old […]

What a surprise!

When I started treating the tooth number 3.7, I understood from the beginning that the case was peculiar. During the emergency session a radix paramolaris was not detected and a SX rotary file created immediately an accidental stripping during orifice opening. The management of an unconventional anatomy and the repair of a iatrogenic error will […]

MTA pulp capping in an adult

MTA has a broad field of use in endodontics thanks to its biocompatibility and its capability to harden in a moist environment. Several articles proved it to be effective as a pulp capping material, although most of the literature focuses on the pulp capping in young patients...but what happens when if do this in an […]

Treatment of a dens invaginatus with an apical plug of calcium silicate cement

Introduction Treatment of young permanent teeth with pulp involvement is an endodontic and restorative challenge. When pulp vitality is lost, the formation of dentin stops, resulting in a tooth with thin dentin walls that is prone to fracture. Traditionally, apexification was performed with calcium hydroxide.  It was a lengthy procedure requiring 5-20 months (1) and […]

A simple trick for a sharp apical barrier placement

One step apexification with MTA is nowadays a widely diffused procedure, although the major problem in cases of a wide open apex is the need to limit and confine the apexification material at the apex, avoiding its extrusion into the periodontal tissue. The use of a biocompatible matrix is advisable because its placement in the […]
