Surgical repositioning of traumatically intruded permanent incisor: case report with a 10-year follow up.

This report describes the case of a 10-year-old boy that was referred to the pediatric dentistry clinic 15 days after sustaining a severe traumatism that led to complete intrusion of the maxillary left mature permanent central incisor. The intruded tooth was repositioned by using surgical extrusion. Endodontic therapy was performed with calcium hydroxide-based paste as root canal dressing and root canal filling was performed with a calcium hydroxide-based root sealer and gutta-percha points. The postoperative course was uncomplicated, with both clinical and radiographic success up to 10 years of follow up. In this case surgical repositioning combined with endodontic therapy constituted a viable alternative treatment for intrusive luxations in mature permanent teeth.

Spontaneous correction of pathologic tooth migration and reduced infrabony pockets following nonsurgical periodontal therapy: a case report.

This case report describes the spontaneous correction of pathologic tooth migration and reduced infrabony pockets after nonsurgical periodontal therapy. A 3-mm diastema between the maxillary incisors was closed completely, and the mandibular teeth, which had migrated pathologically, returned to the optimal position. Clinical evaluation showed a significant reduction in probing depth, with increased clinical attachment and bone deposition demonstrated radiologically.

Etching patterns of Co-Cr alloys for bonded cast restorations.

Resin-bonded bridges may replace missing teeth and act as splints in periodontal treatment. The objective of this study was to investigate the etch pattern after electrolytic etching of selected Co-Cr alloys in hydrochloric acid and to assess the changes in alloy composition after different etching times. The alloys investigated were Vitallium, Wironit, Wironium, Nobilium Hard, and Niranium NN. Alloy specimens were electrolytically etched in a hydrochloric acid solution for 1, 2, 5, and 10 min. The etched specimens were examined in a light microscope and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Different etching patterns were revealed in the various alloys. Microprobe analyses after the etching of Vitallium showed generally that Co was released and that Cr content increased at the surface.

Fibre-reinforced composites in restorative dentistry.

Restorative dentistry is constantly evolving as a result of innovative treatment solutions based on new materials, treatment techniques and technologies, with composite materials being a prime example. The advent of fibre reinforcement has further increased the potential uses of composites within restorative dentistry. This paper discusses fibre types, structure and the physical properties of fibre-reinforced composites, in addition to outlining some of the potential clinical applications of this exciting group of materials, thus updating the reader on the new treatment possibilities offered by these developments.

Immediate loading of dental implants in the edentulous mandible.

BACKGROUND: The authors review the literature regarding immediate implant loading in the anterior edentulous mandible, demonstrate the technique they currently use, review preliminary results and present an illustrative case. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The authors conducted a literature search using PUBMED and Ovid databases. They considered for review 31 articles in English from 1969 to 2003 that pertained to immediate loading of the anterior mandible. The authors developed a technique to provide a bar-supported prosthesis on the day of surgery. They treated five patients and followed them up for at least six months. The preliminary results are presented. RESULTS: This literature review demonstrated that immediate loading of anterior mandibular implants is an acceptable method, with predictable results. This case series demonstrates the potential for delivering a final bar on the day of surgery, based on the current evidence and clinical application. CONCLUSIONS AND PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: The method described provides patients with immediate prosthetic restorations and a decreased treatment time compared with that for the traditional two-stage implant approach.

Use of acellular dermal matrix graft in the treatment of gingival recessions: a case report.

Case presentation in which a 12-years-old boy presented with two large gingival recessions on the maxillary central incisors, secondary to a lateral luxation. In the surgical procedure, an acellular dermal matrix graft (ADMG) was placed as a substitute for a free gingival graft. Twelve months later, complete root coverage was achieved, showing that ADMG, a biomaterial recently developed for mucogingival surgery, can be successfully used in the treatment of gingival recessions in pediatric patients.

Healing of root resorption: a case report.

External resorption is sequelae of necrotic periodontal membrane over a large area of root following an injury to the tooth. This usually occurs after severe dental injuries such as intrusion, severe luxations or exarticulation injuries complicated by a prolonged extra oral period. This case report presents a clinical and radiographic follow up (13 months) of treatment of inflammatory external root resorption on maxillary central incisor using Vitapex. Gradual healing of resorption was observed radiographically with no tenderness or pathological mobility.

A biological conservative approach to complex traumatic dento-alveolar lesions.

Of all the kinds of traumatic dental injury, luxation injuries associated with crown-root fractures deserve special attention due to the particular need for complex multidisciplinary treatment. Clinical experience has demonstrated the need for repositioning of luxated teeth and treatment of crown-root fractures by orthodontic or surgical extrusion and completed with periodontal plastic surgery (gingivoplasty). In many cases the outcome is good conservation and excellent esthetic results. This approach cannot however, always be recommended, for example because of the age of the patient. For this reason, a different protocol is proposed that involves, in addition to orthodontic repositioning of the luxated teeth, (as is required to return teeth to the physiological position), the extrusion, restoration and subsequent re-intrusion to the natural position (without the need for further surgery) of those teeth involved with associated crown-root fractures. Two cases illustrate the use of this proposed technique.

The remodeling of human gingival tissues following gingivectomy.

A total of 30 facial gingivectomies were carried out for reduction of suprabony pockets (mean +/- S.D. preoperative pocket depth 2.8 mm +/- 0.3 mm). Remodeling of the gingival margin was monitored by clinical measurements. The following techniques were utilized: A polyvinyl stent was constructed for each surgical quadrant. This stent covered the occlusal margins of the involved teeth and contained the fixed point of reference. Preoperatively, the following measurements were taken: the distance from the fixed point to (a) the height of the free gingival margin, and (b) the base of the clinical pocket. For control purposes similar measurements were taken at the facial surface of an adjacent tooth. A standard gingivectomy to the base of the clinical pocket was then performed and a periodontal dressing was applied for 1 week. Utilizing the stent (fixed point of reference), measurements were taken of the healing margin and control sites inn the same manner as preoperatively; 1,4,8 and 12 weeks after surgery. Our findings indicate that 12 weeks after gingivectomy, the newly formed free gingival margin was located coronally to the line of incision in all cases. The mean pocket depth at 12 weeks after surgery was 0.7 mm +/- 0.2 mm. However, the mean gain in coronal marginal height was 1.2 mm +/- 0.3 mm. Thus, a clinical coronal pocket closure of about 0.5 mm seemed to have taken place at the soft tissue-tooth interface. Measurements at the nonoperated control site showed no significant variations in crevicular depth during the experimental period. We therefore conclude that the excisional reduction of a crevice to 0 mm depth was altered by gingival remodeling during the healing phase. In our experience, this remodeling took place within 3 months after surgery and clinically appeared as a limited coronal pocket closure and gain of marginal height.
