Transurgical Restoration With Glass-Ionomer Cement as an Option for Root Perforations: Case Report.

Iatrogenic perforation is a procedural incident that may occur in endodontic treatments of primary and/or permanent teeth. Prognosis may be favorable if a complete seal with biomaterial is immediately established. Several materials, including glass-ionomer cement (GIC), have been used to seal different types of perforation defects.

Characterization of the release profile of doxycycline by PLGA microspheres adjunct to non-surgical periodontal therapy.

The aim of this pilot study was to assess the release of locally delivered doxycycline by poly (l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres in the periodontal pocket of patients with chronic periodontitis, treated by non-surgical periodontal therapy. Nineteen sites of non-adjacent teeth of four different patients were evaluated. Five milligram of PLGA microspheres loaded with 16 doxycycline hyclate (DOX) was administered per periodontal site.

Treatment of peri-implantitis using nonsurgical debridement with bioresorbable nanospheres for controlled release of doxycycline: case report.

Peri-implantitis treatment is often surgical; however, in this case report, an alternative approach has been documented using a combination of nonsurgical debridement with the local controlled release of doxycycline by bioresorbable nanospheres in the peri-implant defect. After 15 months, remission on clinical inflammatory parameters of bleeding and suppuration on probing, as well as reduction of probing depths, was observed. This alternative approach may enhance clinical parameter improvements in some cases of peri-implantitis without the need for a surgical approach for implant decontamination.

Esthetic and functional rehabilitation via reattachment of dental fragments.

Anterior teeth fractures are frequently encountered in clinical practice. The reattachment of dental fragments, if possible, is a conservative and effective technique, which is utilized in this case. This case presentation concerns an 18-year-old male patient with a root-crown fracture of the left maxillary central incisor, which involves the periodontal biologic space.
