A case is reported which states calcific metamorphosis of pulp in a mandibular left lateral incisor and concomitant pulp necrosis of both central incisors for a single trauma. There was a large periapical lesion associated with the teeth. Conventional endodontic treatment was performed on teeth with pulp necrosis, but the canal with calcific metamorphosis could not be negotiated with endodontic files. The periapical lesion was surgically removed and diagnosed as acute periapical abscess on histopathology. During the surgical procedure root apices of calcified tooth  as well as other teeth were removed and retrograde cavity was prepared and filled with glass ionomer cement i.e apicectomy was done. The bony defect was filled with calcium hydroxyappatite crystal. Six months later the teeth were asymptomatic and radiological follow-up showed gradual healing of the bony cavity.

With all aseptic precaution successful pulpotomy treatment of cariuosly exposed permanent teeth with reversible pulpitis and incomplete apex formation can prevent the need for root canal treatment. A case report is presented which demonstrates the use of pulpotomy with calcium hydroxide in order to achieve apexogenesis and the teeth were restored with glass ionomer cement. Clinical and radiographic follow up demonstrated a vital pulp and physiologic root development in comparison with the contra lateral tooth.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/updcj.v1i2.13982 Update Dent.

Background: Composite and Glass ionomer cement (GIC) are common restorative materials of non carious cervical lesions (NCCLs), which effects are controverisial. The aim of the present study was to compare the result of restorations on NCCLs between Composite and GIC. Materials and Methods: follow-up clinical trial with split-mouth design. Thirty-six patients with 96 NCCLs were divided into 2 groups (n=48/group): Group 1 restored by Composite, Group 2 restored by GIC. The restorations were evaluated at baseline, 1 and 3 months for pulpal sensitivity, restoration morphology and overall success grade. Results: GIC restorations gained 100% Good results for all parameters at 3 time points. Composite showed 87.5%, 93.8% and 97.9% Good results at baseline, 1 and 3 months, sequentially. At 3 weeks recall, 1 Composite restorations (2.1%) showed Moderate results of Retention and 2 Composite restorations (4.2%) changed colour. Conclusions: There was no statistically significant difference seen among the three groups for 3 parameters. Key words: non-carious cervical lesion, Composite, Glass ionomer cement

The main goal of vital pulp therapy is to preserve and maintain pulpal health in teeth that have been exposed to caries, trauma, and restorative procedures. This type of endodontic treatment is very important in young permanent teeth that have not reached their complete length and exhibit thin-walled roots and wide open apices. The developments in knowledge of pulpal physiology and immunology, beside to newly introduced dental materials, have changed the treatment approaches for teeth with involved pulps. This report describes a case of a young patient in whom maxillary right central incisor suffered crown fractures because of a traumatic accident. Pulpotomy with MTA were performed in order to achieve apexogenesis and the tooth was restored with a glass ionomer cement and composite resin. The patient was reviewed over 4years.

The occurrence of external cervical root resorption (ECRR) is rare. Herein, we report a case of extensive ECRR in the coronal third of the distal root of a mandibular right molar with food impaction and periapical radiolucency. The distal root was perforated and damaged due to delayed treatment. The resorptive defect was debrided, and the defect was restored with conventionally setting restorative glass-ionomer cement. Postoperative follow-up revealed complete healing.

Implantology has become an important therapeutic procedure that allows complete aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of the oro-facial system in edentulous patients. Implant supported prosthetic restorations can be fixed in two ways, by cement or screws. Both techniques have advantages and disadvantages and their selection depend on situation in patient?s mouth. The aim of this study was to describe complete process of prosthetic rehabilitation in an edentulous patient, from pre-implant preparation, through implant placement and fixation of final restoration on implants. In this case report, one ceramo-metal bridge was fixed by screws in the lower jaw while the other one was fixed using glass-ionomer cement in the upper jaw. After bone augmentation and time necessary for its osseointegration (6 to 8 months), 16 implants were placed in both jaws. Eight weeks after the implant placement, final prosthetic rehabilitation was achieved by cementation of one ceramo-metal bridge in the upper jaw using glass ionomer cement and fixation of the second bridge with screws in the lower jaw. To achieve successful implant supported prosthetic rehabilitation, the treatment protocol must be followed from the beginning to the end of the therapy.

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to compare the clinical performance of Nano-hydroxyapatite-modified conventional glass ionomer cement (NHA-GIC) and Nano-hydroxyapatite-modified resin-modified glass ionomer cement (NHA-RMGIC) with conventional glass ionomer (CGIC) and resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGIC) in the treatment of caries class V cavities. Sixty patients with at least two cervical caries lesions participated in this study. A total of 120 class V cavities were prepared and then restored using different restorative materials. Restorations were clinically evaluated according to modified United States Public Health Service criteria at baseline and after 3, 6 and 9 months. Results There was no statistically significant difference in the clinical performance of the different restorative materials at any of the follow-up periods. However, throughout the study period there was a statistically significant change in the color match, surface texture and marginal integrity in NHA-GIC. A statistically significant change in the surface texture and marginal integrity was found in GIC. On the other hand, there was only a statistically significant change in surface texture in NHA-RMGIC. Conclusions All tested restorative materials, control (CGIC and RMGIC) as well as experimental (NHA-GIC and NHA-RMGIC), exhibited comparable clinical performance after 9 months follow-up.

OBJECTIVES: To correct dental origin anterior crossbite by placement of Glass Ionomer cement occlusal stops on mandibular first permanent molars for maximum of two weeks. METHODOLOGY: 16 patients (age: 7-11 years) with dental anterior crossbite were treated by placement of Glass Ionomer cement occlusal stops on mandibular first permanent molars for maximum of 2 weeks to create 1mm anterior open bite. The patients were then recalled after 1 month, 3 months and 6 months for follow up visits. Fisher’s exact test applied using SPSS version # 25. RESULTS: 13 out of 16 patients were treated successfully within two weeks of placement of occlusal stops. Follow-up at six months showed no relapse in any of the corrected cases. CONCLUSION: Placement of glass ionomer cement occlusal stops for two weeks on mandibular first permanent molars is an easy approach to correct dental anterior crossbite.

Mineral trioxide aggregate is the mainstay of treatment of large internal resorption defects. But its cost may be a deterrent to its use in some patients. The present case report describes the successful endodontic management of an extensive internal resorptive lesion in a mandibular molar with metal reinforced glass ionomer cement.
