Direct pulp capping of carious immature tooth using bioactive material: A case report.

The management of deep carious lesions in immature tooth and the preservation of its pulp vitality is a real challenge in daily dental practice. Bioactive cements are of interest to deal with such cases. Our case report describes the immediate management and the follow-up of an extensive carious lesion on an immature first right mandibular molar with pulp exposure by direct pulp capping using Biodentine.

Diagnosis and Managment of Maxillary Incisor with Vertical Root Fracture: A Clinical Report with Three-Year Follow-Up.

According to the American Association of Endodontists, "a 'true' vertical root fracture is defined as a complete or incomplete fracture initiated from the root at any level, usually directed buccolingually." Vertical root fracture (VRF) usually starts from an internal dentinal crack and develops over time, due to masticatory forces and occlusal loads. When they occur in teeth, those types of fractures can present difficulties in diagnosis, and there are however many clinic and radiographical signs which can guide clinicians to the existence of the fracture.
