ABSTRACTMaxillary tuberosity fractures during molar teeth extraction can occur commonly in dental practice; however, very few cases are reported and discussed in the literature. This article presents a case of large fracture of maxillary tuberosity during extraction of first maxillary molar tooth and its conservative treatment outcomes. (Eur J Dent 2007;1:256-259)

A tuberosity fracture can prevent or delay the timely delivery of the most appropriate treatment option for a maxillary molar. This is a relatively common complication, but should not prevent treatment in general practice provided the clinician has adequately risk assessed, planned and obtained informed consent. Should a fracture occur, its initial management in general practice is encouraged. This article aims to improve patient outcomes by providing a troubleshooting guide. A fracture classification is suggested to aid assessment, recognition and management. Should referral to secondary care be required, a classification system will provide a basis for discussion and clarity on further management. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This article provides a tuberosity fracture classification to guide clinicians in the management of patients who have sustained such a fracture.

Comprehensive understanding of variations in the root canal morphology of a maxillary molar is useful for performing successful endodontic treatment in such cases. This case report describes endodontic management of a case with such aberrant root canal morphology of a maxillary second molar having a single root and single canal.

Objectives: Osseous dysplasias are the most common subtype of fibro-osseous lesions of the maxillofacial bones. They are benign and often present as incidental asymptomatic lesions. Diagnosis can be made with clinical and radiographic examination. Case report: This article reports the case of a 47-year-old man with a huge cementifying osseous dysplasia of the maxilla that presented with secondary infection after teeth extraction and repair of oroantral fistula. A subtotal maxillectomy had to be done after conservative treatment failed to resolve the infection. Discussion/Conclusion: Biopsy, tooth extraction or surgical trauma to the affected bones of osseous dysplasia could easily lead to severe secondary infection, the treatment of which may be very difficult, and thus should be avoided if possible.

Background. Maxillary tuberosity during teeth extraction can occur in dental practice. The aim of this paper was to present a case of the maxillary tuberosity fracture occurred during tooth extraction, which was the subject of the forensic expertise. Case report. The maxillary tuberosity fracture created during the extraction of the upper molar was neither timely nor adequately managed by the doctor who started extraction. After the treatment at the specialist institution, the patient sued the doctor for the criminal offense of negligent treatment. The task of the expert was to give a professional answer to the question whether the doctor, who caused a maxillary tuberosity fracture during the tooth extraction, acted negligently and applied inadequate treatment. Conclusion. The maxillary tuberosity fracture during molar extraction may be its complication. If it is diagnosed promptly, immediately and adequately managed, there is no possibility for negligence action.

Mandibular molar tooth function is important for cats, however, current veterinary dental practice is to extract teeth affected by even very small resorptive lesions. The aim of this article was to describe an attempt at salvaging mandibular molar teeth where the mesial root and associated crown remained unaffected by resorption. Three cats presented with localised resorption of the distal root of a mandibular molar tooth were treated by hemisection, extraction of the distal root and endodontic treatment of the mesial root. The oral function was maintained in all three cats with no clinical evidence of pain or further resorption at follow-up 10 months post treatment. One cat was also examined at 27 months post treatment, at which stage there was still no oral discomfort and the tooth appeared fine but there were radiographic signs suggestive of early apical resorption. Whilst longer term follow-up is required, it appears that hemisection may be an acceptable treatment for these localised resorptive lesions, at least for the short to medium term.

Aim: The aim of this report is to describe the management of a prosthodontic patient expressing unrealistic expectations with respect to the transition to edentulousness. Objectives: To outline (1) the diagnosis and explicit expectations of the patient on presentation (2) considerations made during treatment planning to address the wishes of the first time prosthodontic patient (3) a sequential treatment plan utilizing transitional partial removable dentures to manage the change to edentulousness (4) functional and aesthetic result achieved. Results: Delivery of immediate removable partial dentures retaining key abutment teeth in upper and lower arches was a viable prosthodontic solution in the transition to edentulousness of a patient expecting unrealistic treatment outcomes. Conclusions: Addressing impractical expectations and devising a treatment plan amenable to both clinician and patient is difficult. Strategies to manage these wishes in prosthodontic dentistry can include transitional partial dentures. Clinical relevance: Practitioners who encounter similar situations may consider this report valuable.
