Hyalinization and root resorption during early orthodontic tooth movement in adolescents.

Published: April 1998

The aim of this investigation was to study the hyalinization of the periodontal ligament with time and its relationship to root surface resorption after the application of an orthodontic force, reactivated weekly, of 50 cN (approximately 50 g). Fifty-six patients (18 boys and 38 girls, mean age 13.8 years) were divided into 7 groups of 8. In each patient, one premolar was moved buccally 161 with a fixed orthodontic appliance. The contralateral premolar served as a control. The experimental periods ranged from 1 to 7 weeks. Local areas of overcompression in the periodontal ligament were recorded in 33 test teeth (59%) and 2 controls (4%). Hyalinization was seen in all experimental groups, more often after the first 4 weeks of force application. Hyalinized areas were recorded opposite an intact root surface (54%) or close to and just apical or coronal to an area of root resorption (45%), and were usually located buccocervically and linguoapically, corresponding to expected pressure zones of the periodonal ligament.

The odontoclast is a rarely studied cell type that is overly active in many dental pathologies, leading to tooth loss. It is difficult to find diphyodont mammals in which either physiological or pathological root resorption can be studied. Here we use the adult leopard gecko, which has repeated cycles of physiological tooth resorption and shedding.

Comparison of computed tomographic findings for radiolucent lesions of the mandibular ameloblastoma, odontogenic keratocyst, dentigerous cyst, and simple bone cyst.

Background/purpose: Radiolucent lesions of the mandible, including ameloblastoma, odontogenic keratocyst (OKC), dentigerous cyst (DC) and simple bone cyst (SBC), are frequently encountered in clinical practice. However, they vary in type and occasionally in appearance. Each lesion needs a different treatment and approach; therefore, accurate diagnosis is crucial before treatment.

Tooth autotransplantation is widely used to replace congenitally missing teeth or teeth with irreversible damage. This case report presents a personalized ultrasonic osteotome that enables precise preparation, minimizes bone trauma, enhances the initial stability of the transplanted tooth, and contributes to a favorable prognosis. The procedure is as follows: a 25-year-old female patient presented with a porcelain-fused-to-metal crown on Tooth #19, which had detached due to severe decay, rendering the tooth unsalvageable.

A calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumour (CEOT) is a rare benign odontogenic tumour of epithelial origin accounting for approximately 1% of all odontogenic tumours. The intraosseous form occurs more commonly in the posterior mandible whereas the extraosseous form is common in the anterior maxilla. CEOT is often asymptomatic and presents with a painless swelling of the mandible.

Aim To compare the quality of obturation using WVC (warm vertical compaction), CLC (cold lateral compaction), injectable (iFill), and Thermafil (GuttaCore) techniques, along with hydraulic condensation of bioceramic (BC) sealer, and evaluating the percentage of gutta-percha (GP), sealer, and voids in simulated internal resorptive lesions, using an advanced stereomicroscope with ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA). Methods and material In this study, 40 freshly extracted maxillary incisors were collected, and endodontic instrumentation was done to working length using hand K-files. Simulated internal resorption cavities were created in the middle-apical third of the roots after horizontal sectioning and were re-cemented.
