Permanent Molars

Missing or compromised permanent molars can complicate orthodontic treatment planning and mechanics. Molar extraction should be considered in appropriate situations, but clinicians must decide between closing and regaining the edentulous space. Several factors should be taken into consideration to achieve appropriate molar space management, such as the need for space, asymmetry, periodontal status, sinus pneumatization, and the terminal molar position. Herein, three sample cases are reported to demonstrate the treatment options for molar space closure and maintenance with these factors taken into consideration during treatment planning. The understanding of mechanics played a crucial role in anchorage preparation and side effect prevention. If the third molar substitution was managed in advance and adequate space between the ramus and third molar was obtained via second molar protraction, the tooth spontaneously erupted in a favorable position without requiring further treatment. This case series can aid clinicians in molar space management. Regardless of whether the space is to be closed or regained, the treatment plan should conform to the patient’s expectations and improve occlusion with minimal side effects and treatment duration.

Abstract Introduction Inflammatory collateral cysts are uncommon cysts primarily affecting first permanent molars during their eruption. There are diagnostic challenges that can be overcome with CBCT imaging. However, given the paediatric age group for this condition, there are patient cooperation and radiation dose factors to consider when justifying the scan. The aim of this case series study is to illustrate the value of CBCT in imaging and diagnosing inflammatory collateral cysts in paediatric patients, to highlight the need for a multidisciplinary approach for this uncommon pathological condition and to review the relevant literature. Case series description and results We present three patients aged between 6 and 11 years of age with inflammatory collateral cysts affecting their first or second permanent molars for which CBCT imaging was utilised. All patients underwent cyst enucleation with preservation or extraction of affected teeth under general anaesthesia. Discussion Inflammatory collateral cysts are likely to be under reported given their indistinct clinical features and radiological signs. Conventional planar radiographs may not reveal this lesions size and full extent. CBCT overcomes these limitations; however, careful assessment of patient cooperation is needed and a low-dose protocol should be used. Conclusions CBCT can provide useful imaging information which is difficult to obtain using conventional radiography, especially in cases where an inflammatory collateral cyst is suspected.

First Permanent Molars

Although rare, resorption of the first permanent molar caused by impaction of the second premolar does occur. Three paediatric patients with impacted upper second premolars, distinct symptoms and signs of resorption are described. One case with clear resorption of the upper molar on initial presentation was managed immediately with extraction of the first permanent molar. Eruption of the impacted premolars was monitored in the other two cases, but symptom changes and sectional cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) highlighted resorption of the first permanent molars. In both cases the resorbed first permanent molars required extraction. Frequent clinical and radiographic assessment is imperative in such cases, along with consideration for the use of CBCT. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Many dental health professionals are unaware that resorption of maxillary molars induced by impacted premolars is possible, thus, this phenomenon is not monitored, resulting in misdiagnosis and avoidable patient morbidity.

ABSTRACT This case series evaluates the effectiveness of different calcium hydroxide formulations with various vehicles in management of large periapical lesion in mature and immature teeth. This will help clinicians to make informed judgments about which formulations of calcium hydroxide should be used for specific endodontic procedures.

ABSTRACT The success of root canal treatment is based on total elimination of root canal content, thorough cleaning, shaping and obturation of root canal system. Calcium hydroxide is recommended as intra-canal medicament because of its antibacterial properties, tissue dissolving ability, inhibition of tooth resorption and indication of tissue repair by hard tissue formation. The present case series highlights the use of calcium hydroxide as an inter appointment endodontic dressing for management of large periapical radiolucency and periodically reviewed. Thus the non surgical healing of large periapical lesions provided favourable clinical and radiographic response.
