The regenerative endodontic procedure (REP) is considered a viable treatment option for immature teeth with necrotic pulp and periapical radiolucency which can facilitate continued root formation. In this report, an immature necrotic mandibular molar received REP in three appointments wherein chemomechanical debridement was performed with a sequential application of nonsetting calcium hydroxide (in the whole canal) and triple antibiotics paste (in the root’s middle third) dressings in the first and second appointments, respectively. In the third appointment, blood clots were created in the root canals. MTA was placed over the blood clots and the tooth was restored with a composite filling and stainless-steel crown. Recall appointments were performed for two years where the tooth was deemed asymptomatic clinically and a complete root formation with significant periapical healing was evident radiographically. More cases are required to warrant the feasibility of this disinfection protocol.

Regenerative endodontic therapy (RET) provides a novel treatment modality for the immature teeth with pulp necrosis. The aim of this case series was to evaluate RET of immature permanent teeth using platelet rich fibrin (PRF) at 36-month follow-up periods. In the present case series, three immature maxillary incisors diagnosed with pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis were treated with RET. The root canals were irrigated with 1.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and medicated with triple antibiotic paste(TAP). At the second visit, TAP was removed and root canals were conditioned with 17% EDTA. PRF was used as a scaffold. MTA was placed over PRF and the teeth were restored with composite resin. Periapical radiographs and cone beam computerized tomography(CBCT) were used to evaluate the healing. At the end of the 36-month follow-up periods, there was no response to pulp sensibility tests with cold and electric pulp tester, but all teeth showed decreased periapical lesions or evidence of healing.

Dental trauma is common in young patients with immature teeth. When necrosis of pulp follows in such a tooth, apexification of the root is the most recognized and accepted treatment of choice. Calcium hydroxide paste is the most popular material used to induce the apical hard tissue barrier which may be composed of different tissues. Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath and (or) its remnants, the cell rests of Malassez may contribute to the apical closure. In the presented case, careful multidisciplinary treatment approach helped to regain esthetic and function. After 27 months the tooth showed every sign of success.

This paper describes the autologous transplantation of a mandibular right third molar to replace the residual roots of the second molar in the same quadrant, preserving function and aesthetics. A 5-year clinical and radiographic follow-up was undertaken. After transplantation, the donor tooth received endodontic treatment and placement of calcium hydroxide, which was periodically replaced every 3 months until the filling of the root canals, totalizing a period of 1-year, when apical closure was confirmed. The tooth was in perfect functional and aesthetic conditions 5 years after beginning of treatment. Autotransplantation is a feasible option for replacing missing teeth when a donor tooth is available. The autotransplantation of a right mandibular third molar with compromised function and aesthetics to replace the residual roots resulting from coronal destruction due to extensive carious lesion of the second molar in the same quadrant was a viable treatment alternative.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the periapical healing process of dogs' teeth with or without apical patency and after root canal filling with two types of sealers. Forty roots of premolars and incisors were utilized. The root canals were overinstrumented and dressed with a corticosteroid-antibiotic solution for 7 days to obtain ingrowth of periapical connective tissue into the canals. After this period, the tissue was removed in half of the specimens (groups with patency) and preserved in the other half (groups without patency). Canals were filled by lateral condensation technique with gutta-percha points and either a calcium hydroxide-based sealer (Sealer Plus) or a Grossman's cement (Fill Canal). The animals were killed by anesthetic overdose 60 days after the endodontic treatment and anatomic pieces were obtained and prepared for histologic examination. Data were evaluated in a blind analysis on the basis of several histomorphologic parameters. The groups without patency had better results (p=0.01) than those in which the ingrown connective tissue was removed. Comparing the sealers, Sealer Plus had significantly better results (p=0.01) than Fill Canal. In conclusion, both the apical patency (presence or absence) and the type of root canal filling material influenced the periapical healing process in dogs' teeth with vital pulp after root canal treatment. The use of a calcium hydroxide-based sealer in teeth without apical patency yielded the best results among the experimental conditions proposed.

ABSTRACT External root resorption of teeth takes its origin from periodontal tissues but is often an endodontic enigma. A combined endoperio management is required if the external resorption involves both entities. This article describes the management of an external resorption in mandibular first molar by intentional reimplantation using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) as an adjunctive diagnostic aid. Following atraumatic extraction of 36, endodontic treatment was performed extraorally, followed by sealing of the resorptive site using Biodentine. The periodontal procedures included guided tissue regeneration using a bioresorbable membrane and placement of osseograft for bone regeneration. After a follow-up period of 10 months, the patient was totally asymptomatic. Intentional reimplantation is a viable treatment option for external root resorption of inaccessible sites.

Abstract This case report discusses the endodontic treatment of a 7-year-old girl who suffered trauma (intrusion) to the immature upper central incisors secondary to a fall from a bicycle. Thirty days after the accident the patient was brought by her mother for clinical and radiographic assessment with a chief complaint of swelling and tenderness to percussion and palpation. Acute apical abscess associated with immature teeth were diagnosed. A decision was made to perform regenerative endodontic treatment. Access cavities were made and the root canals were disinfected by irrigation with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite. Final irrigation was performed with 17% EDTA. Due to pain and presence of secretions, 2% chlorhexidine gel was applied as an intracanal medicament. Seven days later, at the second visit, the root canals were once again disinfected and the canals of the right and left permanent upper central incisors were filled with double antibiotic paste (metronidazole/ciprofloxacin) and calcium hydroxide paste, respectively. Zinc oxide was mixed in both pastes. At the third visit, after 21 more days, the pastes were removed and the periapical areas were stimulated with a #80 K-file to encourage clot formation within the pulp cavities. A mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) paste cervical plug was placed and the teeth were restored with glass ionomer cement. Radiographs and CBCT scans demonstrated complete root formations. The patient has been followed for 12 years, with evidence of clinical success throughout.

Introduction: A pivotal issue to achieve success in the treatment of the root canal is root canal disinfection. One of the most important bacteria that infect the root canal is Enterococcus faecalis. This study seeks to examine the effectiveness of 3 methods for disinfecting the root canal: photodynamic therapy, modified triple antibiotic paste (MTAP), and calcium hydroxide. Methods: Sixty-two single-rooted extracted anterior teeth were collected. After cleaning and disinfecting the teeth, their crowns were cut at the CEJ point. The root canals were shaped to the working length up to file F3 ProTaper (F1, F2, F3). EDTA 17% and sodium hypochlorite 2.5% were used for 5 minutes to wash and remove the smear layer, and then the apical foramen was sealed using composite. After that, the teeth were sterilized in an autoclave at 121°C for 15 minutes. Then 10 samples were taken randomly as the negative control. The remaining samples were immersed and cultivated in a suspension containing E. faecalis for 21 days. Then the samples were divided into 5 groups: 2 positive control groups, 1 group treated with the antibiotic paste with the concentration of 1 mg/mL, 1 group treated with calcium hydroxide, and 1 group treated with photodynamic therapy. Then, to collect the biofilm, the ProTaper file F4 was used. After that, the microbial suspension was provided and counting the colonies was carried out to compare the groups. Results: The findings indicated that the amount of CFU/mg of MTAP samples, including clindamycin, metronidazole, ciprofloxacin in the concentration of 1 mg/mL and photodynamic therapy and calcium hydroxide was lower than that in the control group. Antibiotic paste cleansed the root canal up to 99.9%. Photodynamic therapy reduced the amount of CFU/mg to 98.8%, and calcium hydroxide reduced the amount of CFU/mg to 94.13%. Conclusion: Using photodynamic therapy causes a reduction in the biofilm and inhibits the growth of the E. faecalis bacterium. In addition, in this study, MTAP with a concentration of 1 mg/mL was used, which expunged the bacteria completely. Meanwhile, calcium hydroxide had the weakest effect of all on the E. faecalis bacterium.

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the viability of stem cells from exfoliated and deciduous teeth (SHED) on dentin surface treated with triple antibiotic paste or calcium hydroxide. Materials and Methods Nine single-rooted extracted premolars were prepared appropriately and divided into three groups. In group A, the root canals were left empty, a triple antibiotic paste was placed in the root canals of group B, and calcium hydroxide was placed in the root canals of group C. After 1 week, the intracanal medicaments were removed, and stem cells were seeded on the treated surface of the specimens for 1 more week. The cells were stained and then observed under confocal microscope over the entire surface of each test material. Counting of the cells was made by Image J (3D) software, as well as manually. Statistical Analysis To investigate any statistically significant differences between the experimental groups, statistical tests including Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney U-test were performed. Significance level was set to P < 0.05, and all analyses were performed with SPSS IBM program, v. 21. Results Groups B and C showed statistically significantly higher number of cells compared to Group A, whereas cells developed in a substrate of calcium hydroxide residues appeared in majority with distinct cores and widened unlike other groups. Conclusions The effect of calcium hydroxide manifested better results regarding the number of stems cells on root canal surfaces.
