The clinical observations of periodontal and prosthetic therapies using retrospective and radiographic evaluation have indicated that molars affected with advanced furcation involvement (FI) are more prone to reducing clinical periodontal support and losing clinical attachments. The present case showed approach using molar root separation and the design of unilateral CSCTD and magnetic attachment to treating the right maxillary secondary molar with Class II and III furcation involvement. Result showed a remarkable improvement around periodontal tissue of the inner crowns and infra-furcation and furcation roof 14 years later. It can be concluded that the design of the CSCTD combined with magnetic attachment appears to be an effectiveness method in treating advanced molar furcation problems.

ABSTRACTIdiopathic root resorption (IRR) is an infrequent condition that is usually found as an accidental finding on radiography. A significant number of cases of IRR in permanent dentition have been presented but are rarely reported in primary dentition. The aim of this case report is to present a case of localized IRR in a 7-year-old boy. The patient was referred because of increased mobility of the left mandibular primary second molar. On radiographic evaluation, severe root resorption of that tooth, and mild root resorption of the right mandibular primary second molar were evident; the patient was caries-free. The left affected tooth was lost, and after placing a band and loop space maintainer, the patient was followed for 18 months. A patient with an abnormal pattern of root resorption, especially in the primary dentition, should alert the clinician to rule out the known important local and systemic factors. The exact causes of and treatments for IRR continue to be discovered.

A 15 year old boy was presented with pain in his upper anterior teeth. On clinical examination both the maxillary central incisor revealed slight discoloration and fracture of the crown. Radiographic evaluation revealed open apex of the left central incisor and apex of the right central incisor was fully developed. Apexification with MTA apical plug was carried out in left central incisor and conventional root canal treatment was done in right central incisor. In two months follow up both the tooth were clinically and radiographically asymptomatic and the healing of the apical area of the left central incisor was continued. These finding suggests that MTA can induce formation of apical barrier in the case of non-vital tooth with open apex. Update Dent. Coll. j: 2019; 9 (1): 42-45

An intra-articular osteoid osteoma is a very rare cause of elbow pain, and its diagnosis and treatment remain challenging. Delayed diagnosis may lead to arthritic change of the joint. In this study, the authors present the occurrence of intra-articular osteoid osteoma in the right elbow of a 15-year-old male patient who presented with prolonged pain and limited motion owing to delayed diagnosis. After confirming the nidus of osteoid osteoma from radiographic evaluation, the lesion was completely removed arthroscopically. The patient presented a complete relief of symptoms and full range of motion. This is the first domestic report of successful arthroscopic treatment of an intra-articular osteoid osteoma of the elbow.

Purposes: The aim of this clinical report is to discuss the advantages and the steps of the root separation and resection approach in a maxillary molar with a class III furcation of the palatine root with a follow-up of 24 months. Case report: A patient with tooth mobility and bleeding after probing, was diagnosed with a Chronic Periodontitis Generalized Moderate and Localized Severe. Hygienic phase with oral hygiene instructions, scaling and root planning was performed. Due to class III furcation of the palatine root of the teeth 16 and some remaining pockets deepths, was decided to execute an apical repositioning flap on the 1st sextant among with the palatine root amputation combined with the endodontic treatment. During the surgical procedure, it was also performed a reduction of the palate thickness from teeth 15 to 17; in distal area of the 17 a distal wedged was performed in order to remove all the pockets. After the surgery, the patient was inserted in a long-lasting individualized supportive periodontal treatment.This case has a follow up of 24 months. Conclusions: Similar survival rates are described in the literature when we compared the root amputation with the dental implants survival rate, but the first one is cheaper and allows to keep the natural tooth. We can’t forget that the periodontitis is a risk factor of peri-implantitis. This clinical case shows that, with a high motivated patient and with the complete periodontal treatment, is possible to obtain excellent results with root separation and resection in maxillary molars class III.

This case report presents the results of functional and myofunctional treatment of a 9-year, 5-month-old male patient with laterognathy, facial asymmetry and dentofacial deformity. The patient had a history of herpes encephalitis at age 8.5 months and palsy on the left side in early childhood, and his left side remained paralyzed as a sequela. The patient had dentoalveolar asymmetry with a Class I right and Class III left canine relation, a 1.5 mm midline deviation, anterior cross-bite, an overjet of -3 mm and an overbite of 3 mm. The dentoalveolar and facial asymmetries were corrected using a modified removable appliance, with an acrylic vestibular shield inserted on the right side to guide the mandible in the upper arch and an acrylic plate with artificial teeth in the lower arch. The patient was instructed to practice myofunctional exercises regularly. In total, treatment, including observation, was completed in a period of 2 years and 10 months, at which time, a marked correction in facial asymmetry and profile and improvement in smile esthetics could be observed.

Introduction: This case report describes the reconstruction of a severe comminuted fracture and bone defect in the lateral half of the clavicle using a novel titanium prosthesis. This unique prosthesis has been specifically designed and three dimensionally printed for the clavicle, as opposed to the Oklahoma cemented composite prosthesis used in common practice. The aims of this study were to: (1) describe the prosthesis, its stress analysis, and its surgical fixation and (2) to demonstrate the results of the 2-year follow-up of the patient with the lateral clavicle prosthesis.Patient's Main Concerns: A 20-year-old, right-handed woman complaining of severe pain in the right shoulder was admitted to our hospital following a traffic accident. Physical examination revealed pain, swelling, tenderness, limb weakness, asymmetric posturing, and loss of function in the right shoulder.Diagnosis, Intervention, and Outcomes: Radiographic evaluation in the emergency room showed complete destruction with a comminuted fracture of the lateral half of the right clavicle and a comminuted fracture of the coracoid. We designed a new prosthesis for the lateral half of the clavicle, which was then tested by finite element analysis and implanted. Use of the new prosthesis was effective in the reconstruction of the comminuted fracture in the lateral half of the clavicle. After 2 years of follow-up, the patient had an aesthetically acceptable curve and was able to perform her activities of daily living. Her pain was relieved, and the disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand score improved. Active range of motion of the shoulder joint and muscle strength were also improved.Conclusion: This novel prosthesis is recommended for reconstruction of the lateral half of the clavicle following development of bony defects due to fracture. Our patient achieved functional and aesthetic satisfaction with this prosthesis.

The aim of this case report was to present an indication of the PEEK as a material of customizable healing abutment. A 35-year-old male complained about the absence of the right upper first molar that had been previously extracted (2 years) due to unsuccessful endodontic treatment. After the anamnesis, the clinical and radiographic evaluation, a good bone availability that enables a dental implants placement was observed in the edentulous region. A dental implant with hybrid microgeometry and morse taper prosthetic connection was placed. A good primary stability was obtained (32 Ncm), however, the early loading technique was opted for this case instead of the immediate loading, since the implants placed in the posterior region requires to support a high masticatory loading force which could interfere with the healing process of the dental implant. Then, a customizable PEEK healing abutment was installed in order to define the prosthetic emergence profile. There were no signs of complications during the postoperative period, and after the twenty-eight-day healing period, a prosthetic interface for digital transfer was installed and intraoral scanning was performed. The prosthetic rehabilitation was performed by the CAD/CAM system, and a screwed prosthetic rehabilitation was installed at the same day. The patient was followed up for 12 months, and no signs or symptoms of peri-implant pathology or prosthetic complications were detected. The customizable PEEK healing abutment is a good option to induce a properly soft-tissue healing that enables an adequate prosthetic emergency profile.

ABSTRACT Aim To differentiate between gemination and fusion as both are consequences of the developmental anomalies resulting in the formation of a wide tooth, difficult to differentiate clinically. Introduction Gemination is often confused with fusion. Fusion occurs when two tooth buds unite, while gemination is said to occur when one tooth bud tries to divide. Various terms, such as double tooth, connation, linking tooth, synodontia, and shizodontia are also used for describing fusion or gemination. Case Report This article presents the case report of a 6-yearold girl with an asymptomatic wide primary canine present in the right mandibular arch. Conclusion The tooth was finally diagnosed as gemination, although clinical features suggested fusion, but radiographic evaluation led to gemination. Clinical significance Gemination ranges from 0.5 to 2.5%. Early and correct diagnosis of such cases helps clinician in the proper treatment planning and avoiding of complications.

Treatment of severe occlusal cant requires a combination of fixed orthodontic treatment with orthognathic surgery. This case report was aimed to describe the combined fixed orthodontic treatment of Le Fort 1 in maxillary occlusal cant of class III dentoskeletal malocclusion with facial asymmetry. Case report: A female patient aged 17 years seven months came to the private clinic, complained of oblique maxillary teeth, and the right posterior was unable to masticate comfortably. The patient wants to be treated for her teeth and jaw. Extraoral examination revealed facial asymmetry, sunken profile and slightly protruding chin. The intraoral examination resulted in the maxillary median line that shifted to the left, mandible shifted to the right, anterior crossbite, unilateral posterior crossbite, and retrusion of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth. The lateral cephalometric analysis resulted in class III dentoskeletal malocclusion. The diagnosis was class III dentoskeletal malocclusion with maxillary occlusal cant, facial asymmetry, anterior crossbite, and posterior unilateral crossbite. The treatment plan was fixed orthodontic treatment combined with Le Fort orthognathic surgery. The treatment was carried out in 4 stages: decompensated orthodontic treatment, maxillary orthodontic treatment, post-orthognathic surgery orthodontic treatment, debonding, and retainer placement. Conclusion: Class III skeletal malocclusion with maxillary occlusal cant, facial asymmetry, anterior crossbite, and the unilateral posterior crossbite was successfully treated with a fixed orthodontic appliance and Le Fort 1 orthognathic surgery. The dental and skeletal relations were achieved for class I, the interdigitation of the maxillary and mandibular teeth was locked, the masticatory function was corrected, and the patient was very satisfied with her facial aesthetics.Keywords: Class III skeletal malocclusion, facial asymmetry, maxillary cant, anterior crossbite, unilateral posterior crossbite, orthognathic surgery.
