AI Article Synopsis

  • The article discusses a unique case of a maxillary first molar that has only one root and one canal, a morphology not previously reported.
  • It utilizes Spiral computed tomography to accurately assess and visualize this unusual dental structure.
  • The findings expand the understanding of potential anatomical variations in teeth and emphasize the importance of advanced imaging techniques in dental assessment.

Article Abstract

The aim of this article is to present an endodontically managed maxillary first molar with an unusual morphology of a single root and a single canal, which has not been reported in the literature so far. An accurate assessment of this unusual morphology was made with the help of a Spiral computed tomography. This report extends the range of known possible anatomical variations to include teeth with lesser number of roots and canals. This report also highlights the role of Spiral computed tomography as an objective method to confirm the three-dimensional anatomy of teeth.

Revascularization of an Autotransplanted Mature Tooth After Extraoral Root Resection: A Case Report.

Case Rep Dent

January 2025

Institute of Dentistry and Oral Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Palacky University, Olomouc, Czech Republic.

The outcome of tooth autotransplantation depends mainly on the transplant tooth's anatomy-the type of donor tooth and the developmental stage of root formation. Mature teeth display a higher complication rate due to lower pulp revascularization potential, requiring root canal treatment (RCT) pre- or postoperatively to avoid postoperative complications, which extends treatment duration and cost. This report details a 39-year-old patient's autotransplantation of a mature wisdom tooth to replace the first molar after unsuccessful root canal retreatment.

Objective: Primary aim was to analyse dentoalveolar and skeletal effects induced by an anterior open bite (AOB) treatment protocol for intrusion of maxillary buccal segment. Secondary aim was to investigate whether a subsequent change occurred in hyoid position.

Materials And Methods: Study group included 28 non-growing subjects treated in academic setting for correction of AOB.

Accuracy of full arch scans performed with nine different scanning patterns- an in vitro study.

Clin Oral Investig

January 2025

Department of Prosthetic Dentistry, LMU University Hospital, LMU Munich, Goethestrasse 70, 80336, Munich, Germany.

Objective: Evaluation of the accuracy of direct digitization of maxillary scans depending on the scanning strategy.

Materials And Methods: A maxillary model with a metal bar as a reference structure fixed between the second molars was digitized using the CEREC Primescan AC scanner (N = 225 scans). Nine scanning strategies were selected (n = 25 scans per strategy), differing in scan area segmentation (F = full jaw, H = half jaw, S = sextant) and scan movement pattern (L = linear, Z = zig-zag, C = combined).

Objectives: This study investigated the effects of thread design on the soft and hard tissues around implants in rat maxillary peri-implantitis-like lesions.

Methods: Fourteen, 9-week-old, female Wistar rats were used in this study. Two types of grade IV titanium tissue-level implants with a standard V-shape and buttress threads were prepared (control and test implants, respectively).
