A retrospective study on 15 non-vital immature incisor teeth was done using Ca(OH)2 Pulpdent® paste. A success rate of 100 percent was achieved within one year. The variables influencing the time taken for apexification were also evaluated. The teeth were followed up to a period of 24 months. It was found that older children having narrow open apex had a shorter treatment time than the younger children (NS); teeth without periapical infection showed some amount of root growth and closing of apex that was faster than those with periapical infection (p<0.001). The calcified bridge formed following apexification is a porous structure. This investigation provides information about the time taken and procedure required to achieve apical barrier formation in non-vital immature incisors.

Introduction. Dental age apart from skeletal age is an important factor in the estimation of biological age of patients. Its evaluation is crucial in making decisions concerning diagnostic algorithms and treatment options in such fields of medicine as paedodontics, conservative dentistry, orthodontics, paediatrics or endocrinology as well as for forensic purposes. There are various methods of radiological dental age estimation and their validity is related to the studied population. Aim. The aim of the paper is to estimate dental age by means of two radiological methods based on panoramic radiographs, i.e. the original method by Cameriere and the modified European formula. Material and methods. The material consisted of 2148 digital radiographs taken in patients of both genders, aged from 5 to 15 years, with visible germs of all permanent teeth, apart from third molars. Two methods by Cameriere were applied – the original one and the European formula. Statistical analysis was performed. Results. Dental age obtained by means of the two Cameriere’s methods was significantly different from chronological age (Wilcoxon’s test, p < 0.001). However, in the case of the original method the mean dental age was lower than the chronological one, while the European formula led to the overestimation of dental age. Conclusions. The European formula is more suitable for the evaluation of the Polish population than the original method by Cameriere.

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.

Background: Endodontic Regenerative Procedures, especially pulp revascularization therapy, have become a real option for the treatment for immature permanent teeth with open apices. This sort of approach has saved many teeth that otherwise would have been extracted. The technique is simple and effective, and can be accomplished by any odontologist. Objective: This article aimed to make a literature review to give support for a case report of an Endodontic Regenerative Procedure of a twelve-year-old male patient with immature open apice of tooth 21. Methodology: Articles were researched concerning pulp revascularization to reach root end formation. On line searches were accomplished, whose database include BVS/BIREME, Web of Science, PUBMED Central, Science Direct, Higher Level Personnel Improvement Coordinator (CAPES), The Cochrane Library, and PROSPERO). Results: the articles researched showed that Endodontic Regenerative Procedures are efficient in stimulating root end formation. The case report described matched the results offered by the articles, showing an immature open apice tooth that had its root end completely formed after pulp revascularization therapy. Conclusion: Pulp revascularization therapy is an efficient and practical treatment for immature teeth with open apices.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical and radiological outcome of MTA in nonvital teeth with open apices. Methods: Twenty-five non-vital teeth with open apices were treated with MTA apexification procedure. Standard endodontic procedures were followed and an apical plug of at least 5 mm was created by using MTA after a calcium hydroxide intra-canal dressing for at least 1 week. Final obturation was done after 24 hours by vertical compaction technique using gutta percha. Patients were recalled at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months interval. Clinical outcome was evaluated by assessing pain, tenderness, mobility and sinus tract. Blind to the treatment record, two examiners assessed the pre-treatment and post-treatment radiographs. Each radiograph was scored with the Periapical Index (PAI) and the size of the apical lesion was measured. The presence of an apical bridge over MTA was also noted. Results: Clinically 92% success rate was found whereas radiologically absolute success rate was 84%. Before treatment the mean PAI was 3.6 and mean size of the lesion was 3.24 mm. But, after 12 months follow up, the mean PAI was 1.36 and the mean lesion size was 0.68 mm. An apical barrier over MTA was distinguishable in 5 cases. Conclusion: Apexification using MTA can be considered as a predictable treatment option than calcium hydroxide apexification. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/updcj.v3i2.17994 Update Dent.

Abstract Aim The aim of this article is to report a case of bilateral multiple impacted supernumerary teeth. A discussion of possible mechanisms of development is also presented along with a concise review of the literature. Background Supernumerary teeth occur in the context of various scenarios in the primary and the permanent dentition. Multiple supernumerary teeth are a rare finding especially in the absence of associated syndrome or disease. Report A case of bilateral multiple impacted supernumerary teeth localized to the mandibular premolar region is reported. Some of the supernumerary teeth as well as the erupted premolars had persistent open apices. Coronal malformation of the right maxillary first premolar was another interesting finding. There was an absence of any concomitant disease. Summary The aforementioned combination of findings has not been reported previously. The anatomical, geometrical, and spatial relationships of supernumerary teeth with their erupted equivalents may shed light on some controversial aspects of the etiology.
