Comparing Techniques for Removing Fiber Endodontic Posts: A Systematic Review.

Aim: This systematic review aimed to establish the available techniques for fiber post removal, pointing out where each method stands out evaluating its advantages, and where they fall short indicating the possible harmful effects.

Materials And Methods: This systematic review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020193799). A broad search of the electronic databases PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Virtual Health Library was carried out before April 27, 2020, for studies about techniques for removing fiber posts luted with resin cements of endodontically treated teeth.

Minimally invasive intervention in external cervical resorption: a case report with six-year follow-up.

Root resorption consists of the loss of mineralized tissue (enamel, dentin, and cementum) of the inner or outer surface of the tooth due to the action of clastic cells. The correct diagnosis, the location, degree of tissue destruction, and the type of treatment are obstacles to the resolution of these lesions. The external cervical resorption is initiated in the amelocemental region progressively resorbing cementum, dentin, and enamel, constituting multiples ducts of resorption in an apical direction.
