Clinical Signs And Symptoms

Root canal and furcal perforations are causes of endodontic therapy failure and different materials that stimulate tissue mineralization have been proposed for perforation treatment. In the first case, a patient presented tooth 46 with unsatisfactory endodontic treatment and a periapical radiographic lesion. A radiolucent area compatible with a perforating internal resorption cavity was found in the mesial root. The granulation tissue was removed, and root canals were prepared. The intracanal medication was composed of calcium hydroxide and the perforation cavity was filled with Portland cement. The 11-year followup showed radiographic repair of the tissue adjacent to the perforation and absence of clinical signs and symptoms or periapical lesion. In the second case, a patient presented with edema on the buccal surface of tooth 46. The examination showed a radiolucent area in the furcation region compatible with an iatrogenic perforation cavity. The mesial root canals were calcified, and only the distal root canal was prepared. The cavity was filled with a calcium hydroxide-based paste and the distal root canal was obturated. In sequence, the perforation cavity was filled with Portland cement. The 9-year followup showed the tooth in masticatory function with radiographic and clinical aspects compatible with normality.

Clinical Signs And Symptoms

Painful hand of aged people is a very common symptom but is often disregarded in comparaison with other clinical signs and symptoms analyzed in these patients. When is reported, are rarely taken into account the multiple pathophysiological and clinical aspects of aging that characterize also the hand. Pain and all these other signs induce unexpected aspects of dysfunctions, from functional impairment to disability. Our aim was to present a review of the most common situations related to painful hand in elderly patients, especially in rheumatological and posttraumatic context. This paper is an update of the most common situations in older patients, that often neglect their distal upper limb in a context of polipathology or in a problematically family and social environment. Also are presented the associated functional consequences and the main therapeutic objectives related to pathophysiological, clinical and functional outcomes.

The 1960S

: The concept of regenerative endodontics wherein one can replace damaged pulp structures and recuperate the functionality in erstwhile necrotic and infected root canal systems has been a cutting-edge technology. Though the notion started as early as the 1960s even before the discovery of stem cells and regenerative medicine, it was in the 2000s, this procedure gained momentum. Ever since then, researchers continue to discover its essential benefit to immature teeth and its ability to overcome the caveats of endodontic therapy which is commonly known as root canal treatment. Further, through this therapy, one can redevelop root even in immature teeth with necrotic pulps which overall helps in maintaining skeletal and dental development. Past literature indicates that regenerative endodontic procedures seem to be successful especially when compared with other conventional techniques such as Mineral Trioxide Aggregate apexification. Besides, many clinicians have begun to apply regenerative endodontic procedures to mature teeth in adult patients with several clinical case reports that have shown complete resolution of signs and symptoms of pulp necrosis. Generally, three most desirable outcomes anticipated by clinicians from this procedure namely resolution of clinical signs and symptoms, root maturation and redevelopment of neurogenesis process. Despite this, whether these objectives and true regeneration of the pulp/dentin complex are achieved is still a question mark. Following the discovery that regenerative endodontics indeed is a stem cell-based treatment, addressing the fundamental issue surrounding stem cells might assist in achieving all identified clinical outcomes, while favoring tissue formation that closely resembles pulp-dentin complex.

Abstract This article reported two clinical cases in which the guided endodontics was used to perform the access to the root canals. The first case presents a 40-year-old female with a history of pain related to the left maxillary canine. After radiographic examination, the presence of severe calcification up to the apical third of the root canal, associated with a periapical radiolucency, was noted. In the second case, an 85-year-old male was referred to our service with pain upon palpation, at the right mandibular first molar. The radiographic images revealed the presence of endodontic treatment and a fiberglass post in the distal root canal, which was associated with extrusion of the filling material and a periapical lesion. The 3D-guides were planned based on cone beam computed tomography and intraoral digital scanning, which were aligned using a specific software. Therefore, implant drills could be guided up to the root canal length required for each case. In the first case, a surgical root canal was created and the patient was free of signs and symptoms after the treatment was completed. In the second case, it was observed that the fiber post was worn by the drill, allowing free access to the filling material. It was possible to perform the endodontic reintervention in a more predictable way and in less time. In both cases, the use of the guided endodontics allowed the preservation of a large part of the dental structure. The procedures were performed faster, without the occurrence of fractures and perforations.

Endodontic Retreatment

Pulp diseases commonly happens because of the actions of bacteriological factors and show their characteristic signs and symptoms over the time. With pulp necrosis, a degenerative process starts and when there is no early treatment, it is possible to occur periapical lesions as a result of aggression to the pulp. In cases of periapical secondary lesions, clinical signs and symptoms persist and are related to secondary infection due to persistent bacterial contamination, also to operative factors, inadequate obturation or poor coronary restoration. This study aimed to report a case of endodontic retreatment and clinical and radiographic follow-up for 8 years, of chronic periapical abscess case, in which after retreatment, clinical signs and symptoms are no longer observed and bone neoformation is noticed.

BackgroundA low serum total IGF1 is considered as a diagnostic indicator of GH deficiency (GHD) in the presence of hypopituitarism. Introduction of IRMA and chemiluminescent immunometric assay (CLIA) IGF1 immunoassays has introduced endogenous antibodies as a new source of interference. In general, this goes unnoticed and might lead to unnecessary diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.CaseA 56-year-old man was referred with a decline in physical performance, unexplained osteopenia, and weight loss of 3 kg over the past 8 months. Although clinical signs and symptoms were unremarkable, laboratory results pointed to secondary hypothyroidism and secondary hypogonadism. In addition, the serum total IGF1 level (CLIA; Siemens Medical Solutions Diagnostics) was in the low normal range. Two GH stimulation tests were performed, but these tests did not support the diagnosis GHD. Moreover, IGF1 bioactivity measured by the kinase receptor activation assay was normal. Interference of heterophilic antibodies was considered. After pretreatment with specific heterophilic blocking tubes that contain blocking reagents to eliminate heterophilic antibodies, serum-free thyroxine, testosterone, and IGF1 levels turned out to be normal.ConclusionTo the best of our knowledge, we here describe the first case in the literature of a patient with low serum total IGF1 levels due to interference from heterophilic antibodies in the used IGF1 immunoassay. When confronted with low-IGF1 levels that do not fit the clinical picture, interference of heterophilic antibodies should be considered in the differential diagnosis.

Clinical Signs And Symptoms

The trigeminocardiac reflex is a rare occurrence in patients undergoing maxillofacial surgery, with a reported incidence of 1–2%. Clinical signs and symptoms include bradycardia, nausea, with further stimulation potentially leading to cardiac dysrhythmias, ectopic beats, atrioventricular blocks and asystole. Most maxillofacial procedures, including temporomandibular joint procedures, are considered low risk. We report the first case of a tender temporomandibular joint synovial cyst whose management was complicated by severe trigeminocardiac reflex resulting in asystole. We suggest that in such cases communication between surgeons and the anaesthesia team is of paramount importance and informing the anaesthetist intraoperatively prior to the manipulation of the capsule or temporomandibular joint meniscus is recommended in the prevention or successful treatment of this condition.

Introduction: Chylous ascites is a rare form of ascites characterized by milk-like peritoneal fluid, rich in triglycerides. Clinical signs and symptoms include abdominal distention, pain, nausea, and vomiting. In gynecology, the most common cause for its occurrence is lymph dissection leading to impairment of major lymphatic vessels. There are only a few reported cases of chylous ascites arising after operations for benign diseases. Case report: We report a case of a 46-year-old female patient, who underwent laparoscopy for a myomatous node with chylous ascites occurring on post-surgery Day 2. The ascites was conservatively managed. The exact cause of the chyloperitonitis could not be determined. Conclusion: Although extremely rarely, chylous ascites may also occur in operative interventions for benign diseases in gynecological surgery.

Background: Root canal Therapy is one of the procedures for the management of nonvital tooth with periapical lesion. The principle of this therapy is the complete sterilization of the total pulp canal space thereby healing of the periradicular lesion. Objectives: This experimental study assessed the clinical and radiological outcome of root canal treatment for nonsurgical management of nonvital teeth with periapical lesion. Materials and Methods: A total number of 40 infected teeth with periapical lesion were treated by conventional root canal treatment. Irritants from the root canal system was removed by mechanical instrumentation( Crown down Technique), chemical irrigation with NaOCL and by using Calcium Hydroxide as intracanal medicaments and fluid tight obturation both apically and coronally resulting repairs of inflamed periradicular tissues. The protocol for follow up examination will be 3, 6 and 12 months post operatively. At the time of follow up examination a standard follow up chart will be maintained. Results: Among 40 cases 32 cases could be treated as acceptable as their responses were good both clinically and radiologically and 5 patients came back with some complications among them 3 cases were uncertain and 2 cases were unacceptable. Conclusion: It was concluded that conventional root canal treatment reduced clinical signs and symptoms successfully in teeth with periapical lesion and radiologically. TAJ 2020; 33(1): 25-30

Maternal Graves’ disease is relatively uncommon with an estimated incidence of 0.4%–1% of all pregnancies, but only 1–5% of newborns delivered to mothers with Graves’ disease develop overt clinical signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Here, we describe a case of a 1380-gram female neonate who was born at 30-week gestation to a mother with Graves’ disease. Our patient presented with hyperthyroidism followed by transient hypothyroidism requiring treatment with levothyroxine. While hyperthyroid, she was treated with methimazole, iodine, and a beta-blocker. 20 days after the initiation of methimazole, she developed neutropenia. The neutrophil counts started to improve immediately after the initiation of the weaning of methimazole. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case reported in the literature of methimazole induced neutropenia in a preterm infant being treated for neonatal Graves’ disease.
