Background: Root canal disinfection is considered critical for achieving successful regenerative endodontic procedures. Photo-activated oral disinfection is a novel disinfection method that can help to achieve the goal of regenerative endodontics. This article reports the clinical and radiographic results after single visit regenerative endodontics using photo-activated oral disinfection. Methods: An 8.5-year-old girl complained of fractured upper right central incisor. Pulp necrosis was diagnosed on the basis of clinical findings. The root canal was irrigated with sodium hypochlorite solution (1.5%) followed by saline. Then, the canal was dried with paper points. A combination of a photosensitizer solution and low power laser light were applied. EDTA solution was used as a final irrigant. Bleeding was induced, followed by placement of collagen resorbable matrix and white mineral trioxide aggregate. Two days later, the tooth was sealed and restored with permanent filling. Results: Clinical findings revealed no pain on percussion or palpation tests. Radiographic examination revealed an increase in root length, an increase of apical root thickness and apical closure at the 12-month follow-up period. Conclusion: Regenerative endodontics using photo-activated oral disinfection achieved successful outcomes in the necrotic immature permanent tooth.

Background: Iatrogenic complications such as accidental perforation of the root or the floor of the pulp chamber may occur. Case Report: Patient was referred for root canal retreatment of the mandibular left second molar with periapical lesion evidenced through radiographic examination. During post removal, iatrogenic perforation occurred at the mesial face of the distal root. After clinical localization of the perforation and bleeding control, MTA was applied. In a second appointment, the root canal filling was removed and the chemical-surgical retreatment of the canals was performed, followed by the obturation with gutta-percha and sealer. Patient returned after three days reporting no pain. After 6 months, 3, 7 and 10 years of follow-up. Conclusion: Absence of pain, normal periodontal probing and lack of radiolucent area at the region of perforation and the periapices were detected, which evidenced the successful repair of the tooth.

Eliminating microorganisms in the root canal system is important for the success of regenerative endodontics. Objective: This study evaluated the effects of different antibiotic pastes used for regenerative endodontic procedures on dentin microhardness and the push-out bond strength of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) to root canal dentin. Methods: Sixty-four maxillary central incisors were instrumented and randomly divided into the following four groups (n = 16) for medicament treatment: triple antibiotic paste, amoxicillin+clavulanic acid, cefaclor, and control (no dressing). After 21 days, two root segments were obtained by sectioning the roots horizontally for push-out and microhardness evaluations. MTA was placed into the root canal of the sectioned segment for the push-out test. In the microhardness evaluation, three indentations were made at 500 and 1,000 μm from the canal lumen. The arithmetic mean was then calculated for each distance. ANOVA with post hoc Scheffe test and t test were used for the statistical analyses. The significance level was set at p < 0.05. Results: No significant difference was found between the groups in terms of push-out bond strength (p > 0.05). Cefaclor and amoxicillin+clavulanic acid reduced the microhardness values of the dentin at 500 μm (p < 0.05) while cefaclor had the lowest value at 1,000 μm (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Cefaclor reduced the microhardness value more than the other medicaments did at a depth of 1,000 μm. The pastes provided similar adhesion of MTA.

Background: LSTR therapy is considered as one of the most widely accepted clinical procedure for the treatment of permanent tooth with irreversible pulpitis with minimum destruction of tooth tissue Objective: To evaluate the clinical and radiographic findings of permanent tooth with irreversible pulpitis by LSTR 3Mix MP therapy and compare with conventional root canal therapy. Methods: According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 40 teeth were enrolled in this study, out of which 20 teeth treated with LSTR 3Mix MP Therapy, (Group-I) and the remaining 20 teeth treated with conventional root canal therapy (Group-2). Clinical and radiological Follow up examinations were performed at 3, 6- and 12-months interval to investigate the incidence of postoperative pain, tenderness to percussion, swelling and periodical radiolucency, collected date was analyzed by using Statistical package for Social Science (SPSS) version 17. Statistical analysis was performed by Chisquare test to assess the difference between the clinical outcome of Group 1 and 2; a value of P<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: At 3 months observation period, LSTR and Conventional root canal therapy showed 100% success rate in treating teeth with irreversible pulpits; neither pain nor any tenderness on percussion or post-operative swelling was observed. Radiographic examination also revealed no sign of radiolucent area. At 6 and 12 months following the completion of the treatment, except in one case in each observation period, there results were similar to that of 3 months. One LSTR (5%) and one conventional (5%) therapy reported pain, tenderness on percussion and swelling with peripical lesion. There were no statistical differences between the two groups (p>0.05). Conclusions: It can be concluded that LSTR 3 Mix MP Therapy proved to be effective in treating teeth with irreversible pulpitis; with similar clinical and radiological outcome to conventional root canal treatment within one-year observation period.

Traumatic injuries to an immature permanent tooth may result in cessation of dentin deposition and root maturation. Novel revascularisation endodontic procedure (REP) has been considered as an option for treatment of immature teeth with damaged pulp tissue. The continuous development of the root and the root canal has been recognised as a major advantage of this technique over traditional apexification approach. Traditional apexification procedures may resolve pathology but have not been able to prove tooth survival due to absence of continued root development and risk of root fracture. A successful REP results in resolution of signs and symptoms of pathology, radiographic signs of healing, proof of continued root development as well as presence of pulp vitality due to the regeneration of pulp tissue in the root canal. Currently, repair rather than true regeneration of the ‘pulp-dentine complex’ is achieved and further root maturation is variable. According to Glossary of Endodontic terms published by American Association of Endodontists, REP’s are biologically based procedures designed to physiologically replace damaged tooth structures, including dentin and root structures, as well as cells of the pulp-dentin complex.1,2 Apexification treatment has been a routine procedure to treat and preserve such teeth for many decades.3 Apexification is the process by which a suitable environment is created within the root canal and periapical tissue to allow for the formation of a calcific barrier across the open apex. Calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] has been the material of choice for apexification as Frank reported its capacity to induce physiological closure of immature pulpless teeth in 1966.4 However, this technique has several disadvantages, including the unpredictability of apical barrier formation and the long duration of treatment, which often requires multiple visits.5 A retrospective study by Jeruphuaan et al.6 has shown a higher survival rate with regenerative endodontic treatment when compared to both mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Ca(OH)2 apexification. The first evidence of regeneration of dental tissues was in 1932 by G.L. Feldman, who showed evidence of regeneration of dental pulp under certain optimal biological conditions.7 In 1971, a pioneer study in regenerative endodontics conducted by Nygaard-Ostby concluded that bleeding induced within a vital or necrotic canal led to resolution of signs and symptoms of necrotic cases and in certain cases, apical closure.8 According to Windley et al. (2005), the successful revascularisation of immature teeth with apical periodontitis is mainly dependent upon: 1. Canal disinfection 2. Scaffold placement in the canal for the growing tissues 3. Bacteria-tight sealing of the access opening.9 The purpose of this case report is to illustrate the outcome of a revascularisation endodontic procedure in a non-vital immature young permanent central incisor.

This study aims to report the clinical case of a 16 years-old male patient, who attended a private office reporting that at an accident suffered at the age of 10 years-old, which caused extrusive dislocation in both teeth 11 and 21. At that time, the teeth were repositioned, without an adequate follow-up. Upon physical and radiographic examination, the following features were observed: presence of recurrent sinus tract on the vestibular surface, area of ​​external cervical resorption, and a periapical lesion on tooth 21. Endodontic treatments (necropulpectomy) were performed on teeth 11 and 21, with the placement of a root canal dressing of calcium hydroxide and subsequent root canal filling. In addition, soft tissue flap folding was performed to treat the resorption area and to seal it with glass ionomer cement. A 7 months follow-up radiograph shows stabilization in the process of the tooth resorption and remission of the periapical lesion. In conclusion, the endodontic treatment with intracanal medication, and the sealing of the resorption area were successful to preserve the traumatized tooth. In addition, it is noteworthy that following up with the patient after the trauma episode is essential to monitor the pulp vitality of the tooth involved.

ABSTRACT Most periapical radiolucent lesions associated with infections of the root canal system heal uneventfully after endodontic treatment. However, some cases may require periradicular surgery in order to remove pathologic tissue from the periapical region and simultaneously eliminate any source of infection that could not be removed by orthograde root canal treatment. With an adequate technique, surgery can address these issues, although it may be insufficient in some situations. This report describes the healing process after surgery in two cases with a 12 months follow-up. In these cases, apicoectomy was followed by retrograde sealing with Super EBA (Harry J. Bosworth Company, Illinois, USA). The bone defect was filled with PerioGlas (NovaBone, Austin, TX, USA) and covered with a resorbable Guidor membrane (Sunstar, Foster Ave, Chicago, USA). No intraoperative or postoperative complications were observed. After 24 months of follow-up, the patient showed no clinical signs or symptoms associated with the lesion and radiographic examination showed progressive resolution of radiolucency.
