Iatrogenic orthodontic dental trauma: a case report.

Iatrogenic trauma can be defined as any adverse condition in a patient resulting from treatment by a physician or dentist. Orthodontic treatment carries with it the risks of tissue damage and treatment failure. The aim of this article is to present traumatic oral tissue lesions resulting from iatrogenic orthodontic origin with a 2-year follow-up period based on orthodontic intervention followed by periodontal surgery.

Oral rehabilitation in a patient with major maxillofacial trauma: a case management.

Traumatic injuries may cause anatomic deficiencies in soft and hard tissues. These defects often result in the loss of attached mucosa and alveolar processes, which might reduce potential prosthesis support and require bone and skin grafting. As a result of major maxillofacial trauma, complete or partial avulsion of the palate may require extensive surgical and prosthodontic rehabilitation.

Fused teeth: a review of the treatment options.

Fused/geminated teeth may cause esthetic, spacing, periodontal, eruption and caries problems. The present study describes two clinical cases of similar dental fusion and compromises different and individualized treatment methods based on the proper treatment needs of a patient. In the first case the fused tooth was separated and the supernumerary tooth was extracted intraorally.
