Periodontal Healing of a Horizontal Root Fracture: A Case Report with a Two-year Follow-up

Clinical Relevance Scientific rationale for this case report: Traumatically-induced tooth loss due to root fractures necessitates time-consuming and expensive prosthetic rehabilitation measures. To date, however, the appropriate use of minimal invasive periodontal surgery, in combination with adhesive dentistry, may allow cost-effective, reliable therapeutic options for the treatment of root fractures even below the gumline. Principal findings: The coronal part of a fractured lower incisor was reattached to the apical fragment using the periodontal flap technique, endodontic therapy and adhesive fixation measures. Uncompromised aesthetics and function, and periodontal health, were maintained over a two-year observation period. Practical implications: Data on the long-term stability of the proposed approach is scarce. However, in treatment planning for teeth with horizontal root fractures, re-bonding of the coronal part using flap surgery may be considered a treatment option.

Deep Recession

Introduction. The purpose of this case report was to show the clinical long-term stability of a successful two-step root coverage procedure. A combination of two single techniques was used to treat an isolated deep-wide defect. Case Presentation. A 28-year-old female patient was referred in order to treat a single recession defect at #22. Due to her fear of dental procedures and a poor economic situation, the team developed an alternative solution. They used a modified apically repositioned flap (MARF) to increase the donor area and then a laterally positioned flap (LPF) to treat the root defect. Clinical evaluation at the three-year follow-up revealed complete resolution of the defect, a gain in clinical attachment, excellent esthetic results, and minor morbidity to the patient. Conclusion. The combination of the MARF and the LPF procedures was able to successfully treat a single deep recession defect with some advantages over traditional techniques such as simplicity, ideal color match of tissues, and the absence of palatal donor tissue.

And Function

This case report presents the clinical use of a resin nanoceramic CAD/CAM restoration of a primary second molar without successor in the form of a permanent second premolar tooth in a patient. Three-year follow-up of the case revealed that resin nanoceramic CAD/CAM restoration of the primary molar without successor achieved both aesthetics and function. Despite the high cost of treatment, this type of restoration should be considered if the retained tooth is expected to maintain functionality over the long term.

Accidental injury to anterior region with fractured and mobile teeth can be an awful experience to young female patient. Treating such patient requires knowledge judgment and skill of the operator. In the present case report multiple horizontal root fracture in cervical third region with mobile undetached crown was successfully stabilized by a very simple procedure using hedstrome endodontic file as an endodontic implant. In a two year follow-up period the tooth was completely asymptomatic clinically as well as radiographically. Immobilization of fractured root by endodontic instrument with MTA considered to be a simple ,reliable and cost effective method to save a tooth that would have been difficult to restore with good long term prognosis.

Brain Abscesses

AbstractNocardia brain abscess is a rare clinical entity, accounting for 2% of all brain abscesses, associated with high morbidity and a mortality rate 3 times higher than brain abscesses caused by other bacteria. Proper investigation and treatment, characterized by a long-term antibiotic therapy, play an important role on the outcome of the patient. The authors describe a case of a patient without neurological comorbidities who developed clinical signs of right occipital lobe impairment and seizures, whose investigation demonstrated brain abscess caused by Nocardia spp. The patient was treated surgically followed by antibiotic therapy with a great outcome after 1 year of follow-up.

This case report demonstrates the successful use of intraoral distractor/hygenic rapid expander (HYRAX) for rapid maxillary expansion in anteroposterior direction with an adjunctive use of face mask therapy for anterior orthopedic traction of maxillary complex in a cleft patient with concave profile. The patient was a 13-year-old girl who reported with a chief complaint of backwardly positioned upper jaw and a severely forward positioned lower jaw. Therefore, a treatment was chosen in which acrylic bonded rapid maxillary expansion was done with tooth tissue borne intraoral distractor/HYRAX having a different activation schedule along with Dr Henri Petit facemask to treat maxillary retrognathism. As a result, crossbite got corrected and attained a positive jet with no bone loss in cleft area over a period of 5 months which was followed by fixed mechanotherapy achieving a well settled occlusion in 1 year. After completion of expansion and fixed mechanotherapy, ANB became +1 post-treatment which was −4 pretreatment. The prognathic profile was markedly improved by expansion and taking advantage of the remaining growth potential, thus minimizing the chances of surgery later in life. This provided a viable alternative to orthognathic surgery with good long-term stability.
