Regenerative endodontic treatment of an immature permanent canine - A case report of a 13-year follow-up.

Data on long term survival and tooth stability after regenerative endodontic treatment are missing. The purpose of the present report is to describe regenerative endodontic treatment of a permanent mandibular canine with extensive coronal hypoplasia, immature root, and a periapical radiolucency. The regenerative endodontic treatment was initiated by irrigation of the root canal, followed by three weeks of triple antibiotic paste dressing and the creation of a blood clot scaffold covered with mineral trioxide aggregate.

Outcomes of Calcium Hydroxide with Iodoform Pulpectomies in Primary Teeth.

To assess retrospectively the success rate of calcium hydroxide with iodoform as a filling material in pulpectomies of primary molars with irreversible pulpitis or pulp necrosis, and to evaluate factors that affect outcomes.
This study consisted of records of 73 patients with primary molars treated with pulpectomy with high quality radiographs. Treatment was considered successful clinically if the tooth was not extracted and radiographs showed a decrease or no change in preexisting pathologic radiolucent defects.

A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial Comparing Tricalcium Silicate and Formocresol Pulpotomies Followed for Two to Four Years.

Tricalcium silicate (Biodentine), a new synthetic inorganic restorative cement, has shown a high rate of success in pulpotomy treatments, with few side effects. The purpose of the present randomized clinical control trial was to evaluate the long-term success of pulpotomies in human primary molars using tricalcium silicate versus formocresol. Healthy two- to 10-year-olds were treated with pulpotomies on primary molars as part of their scheduled regular dental treatment.

Auriculotemporal nerve syndrome (Frey's syndrome): A literature review and case report.

Frey's syndrome in children is rare and often erroneously attributed to food allergy. A description of a case of Frey's syndrome in a child and a review of the literature is provided. Awareness of this condition is important for the pediatric dentist to avoid unnecessary medical procedures and provide reassurance to the dental team in the setting of this benign condition.

Caries Progression Rate in Primary Teeth: A Retrospective Study.

Objectives: The rate of caries progression in primary teeth has rarely been studied, with most studies on early childhood caries reporting the percentage of lesions that remain at a certain stage of disease over a period of time. The aim of the present study was to examine the prevalence and behavior of proximal and occlusal carious lesions in primary teeth among children from low socio-economic status.

Study Design: This retrospective study was based on bite-wing radiographs of 95 children aged 5-12 taken at 6-12 months intervals, with a follow-up period of at least three years.

Post-and-Core Restoration of Severely Damaged Permanent Posterior Teeth in Young Adolescents.

Purpose: This retrospective study evaluated the survival rates of postendodontic severely decayed posterior permanent teeth in young adolescents.

Materials And Methods: A total of 48 teeth (patient age range: 8.8-16.

Pink Spot - Literature Review and Case Report.

Background: Pink spots in teeth were first described by Mummery in 1920, and were related to resorption. Resorption is a pathologic process that often eludes the clinician with its varied etiologic factors and diverse clinical presentations. Resorption can be generally classified as internal and external resorption.

Pediatric intraoral high-flow arteriovenous malformation: a diagnostic challenge.

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rarely reported in the dental pediatric literature. They may develop adjacent to primary molars and can be life-threatening due to their potential for massive bleeding. The most common symptom associated with documented cases of AVMs is spontaneous gingival bleeding.

Cytotoxicity and proliferative effects of Iodoform-containing root canal-filling material on RAW 264.7 macrophage and RKO epithelial cell lines.

Objective: The present study investigated the effect of the Iodoform-containing root canal filling material on the viability of cultured macrophages and epithelial cells, and on cytokine secretion.

Design: The effect of Endoflas F.S.
