ABSTRACT Management of non vital teeth with open apices isa challenge to the dental practitioners. In this clinical scenario, it is difficult to maintain the obturating material confine within the root canal without encroaching into periapical area. These kinds of cases cannot be managed by conventional endodontic treatment, and treatment of such cases with calcium hydroxide may take longer time for apical closure. But with this new material called BIODENTINE (Septodont) same treatment can be done in single visit with predictable result. Hence this case report present the use ofbiodentine to form an apical plug in open apex followed by complete root canal obturation using thermoplasticized guttapercha.

ABSTRACT Management of non-vital teeth with open apices is a challenge to dental practitioners. In this clinical scenario, it is difficult to maintain the obturation material within the confines of root canal without encroaching into periapical area. Also, thin dentinal walls of canal is a matter of concern. These cases cannot be managed by conventional endodontic treatment and need customized treatment plan. Treatment of such teeth with calcium hydroxide may demand long time and patient compliance. But with MTA same treatment can be done in reasonably less time with predictable results. Hence, these two case reports present the use of MTA to form an apical plug in open apex followed by complete root canal obturation using thermoplasticized gutta-percha under operating microscope.

In this study, 120 teeth having periradicular pathosis were treated with single visit root canal treatment and then obturated with either calcium hydroxide containing sealer or mineral trioxide aggregate based sealer. The healing of periradicular pathosis was examined at 3, 6, and 12 months by clinical and radiological evaluation. Collected data were analyzed with standard statistical methods by using SPSS version- 20. The results showed that at 3 and 6 months, the differences between calcium hydroxide containing sealer or mineral trioxide aggregate based sealer were not statistically significant. However, the healing capability of periapical radiolucency at 12 months between two groups was statistically significant (P=0.03). The final outcome of the clinical and radiological investigation showed successful results of 96.6% and 98.1% in calcium hydroxide and mineral trioxide aggregate group, respectively. In conclusion, both calcium hydroxide and mineral trioxide aggregate based sealers are almost equally effective in single visit root canal therapy for the management of periradicular pathosis.

<span>Periradicular lesions occur in non-vital teeth as the result of a chronic aggression by the presence of microorganisms into the root canal, which may appear as a radiolucent lesion in the radiographic exam; treatment varies according to surgical or nonsurgical methods. This case report describes the regression of a periradicular lesion using a nonsurgical endodontic treatment in association with intracanal calcium hydroxide-based medicament. After patient examination and radiographic analysis, a 13 mm (in maximum diameter) radiolucent lesion was observed in tooth number 12. The endodontic treatment was done and Calen-CMCP (S.S. White Artigos Dentários Ltda., Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil) was placed into the root canal, which was changed after every two weeks during two months. It was observed a progressive centrifugal regression of the lesion after every renewing of the medicament. In addition, after six-year follow-up the tooth was still free of re-infection and bone tissue was completely regenerated. In conclusion, calcium hydroxide therapy can conservatively stimulate the regression of large periradicular lesions.</span>

Management of immature non-vital teeth poses challenge for the clinician owing to the thin root canal walls and open apices which may show apical divergence. Apexification is the technique of inducing the apical closure with a root end filling material for non-vital immature young permanent teeth. Traditionally, Calcium hydroxide was the material of choice for apexification of immature permanent teeth but introduction of MTA has shown remarkable promise as an alternative to calcium hydroxide. This report presents a case of apexification of anterior two young permanent teeth with open apices using MTA and Gutta percha followed by esthetic build up using cast metal posts and full coverage restorations.

Objectives : The purpose of the present study was to asses the incidence and severity of pain after single and two visit Root Canal Treatment ( RCT ) / endodontic treatment in asymptomatic non vital single rooted maxillary teeth.Methods : Eighty one cases of endodontically involved asymptomatic, non vital, single rooted maxillary teeth without evidence of periapical radiolucency in radiograph were selected for this study. The patient were divided into two treatment group. In single visit group, all teeth were prepared and filled using the standardized preparation and lateral condensation filling technique. In the two visit treatment group, at the first appointment, the teeth were prepared and dressed with calcium hydroxide paste for 7 days. At the second appointment, the teeth were prepared and obturated by using lateral condensation technique. The frequency of post obturation pain was recorded as no pain, slight/ mild, moderate and severe pain and evaluated at the day 1 and at the day 7 after obturation. The data were analyzed statistically by using SPSS version 16. p-value <0.05 was taken as significant.Results : No significant difference in post obtuation pain was found in between single and two visit RCT in maxillary teeth. At the day 1 and 7 after obturation, single visit (n= 41) group and two visit (n=40) group similarly experienced moderate pain (2.5% and 1.1% respectively in both group). At day 1 and 7 after obturation, mild pain is more in single visit than two visit group. However, there was no statistically significant difference in pain between the two groups. No one experienced severe pain in two groups.Conclusion: The incidence and severity of post obturation pain did not differ between single and two visit RCT in asymptomatic non vital single rooted maxillary teeth.Chatt  Shi Hosp Med Coll J; Vol.15 (1); Jan 2016; Page 45-48

The main goal of endodontic treatment is to remove the entire microbial flora from the root canal system and promote periapical healing. Microorganisms that settle in the root system play an important role in the development and persistence of periapical lesions. Necrotic canals provide a very favorable environment for the growth of microorganisms in the root canal system. Thus, elimination of these bacteria is essential for apical and periapical healing after endodontic treatment. This case report discusses the endodontic treatment using calcium hydroxide in a necrotic pulp with chronic periapical abscess.

O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar um caso clínico de uma extensa lesão periapical em maxila, tratada somente por uma abordagem endodôntica não cirúrgica, com expressivo reparo periapical. Paciente do sexo feminino, 52 anos, compareceu à clínica odontológica, com a queixa principal de “cisto crescendo na boca”. Os dentes 13, 14 e 15 apresentavam-se sem vitalidade pulpar. Os exames radiográficos mostraram duas áreas radiolúcidas, uniloculares, envolvendo os ápices dos dentes 13 e 15, ambos sem sinais de intervenção endodôntica. As áreas eram sugestivas de granuloma periapical e cisto periapical inflamatório, respectivamente. Realizou-se tratamento endodôntico dos dentes 13, 14 e 15. Após 11 meses, notou-se regressão significativa da rarefação óssea periapical, não sendo necessária qualquer intervenção cirúrgica. A paciente continuará em proservação até a remissão completa da lesão. O preparo químico-mecânico, associado ao emprego de medicação intracanal, pode ser suficiente para o reparo de lesões periapicais extensas. Sugere-se que o tratamento conservador seja sempre a primeira opção em casos semelhantes, de forma a se evitar cirurgias parendodônticas invasivas desnecessárias.

The purpose was to assess the elimination of Enterococcus faecalis in vitro in human mandibular premolars after chemomechanical preparation with or without the use of a calcium hydroxide dressing. After 60 days of contamination with E. faecalis, the root canals were prepared using the Crown-Down technique combined with 2% chlorhexidine gel irrigation. Then, the specimens were divided into two experimental groups, treated in a single visit or in multiple visits, and two control groups. The multiple-visit group received a dressing with calcium hydroxide for 14 days (CalenTM) and the single-visit group did not receive any medication. In the two control groups, the canals were filled with BHI after chemomechanical preparation with 2% chlorhexidine gel or distilled water. Microbial samples were taken from the root canals for colony forming unit count for each phase of the treatment using sterile paper points inside the root canal lumen. Data were ranked and analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis statistical test. The residual microbial colonies were then assessed. The results showed that chemomechanical preparation using 2% chlorhexidine gel with no intra-canal dressing reduced by 100% the E. faecalis contamination of the root canal lumen. The calcium-hydroxide group that received the 14-day intra-canal dressing allowed a small number of bacteria to grow between visits, but without statistical differences between groups.

Besides the risk of filling material extrusion throughout the apex, a satisfactory apical seal can be difficult to achieve in canals with open apices or iatrogenic enlargements of the apical constriction. These situations pose a challenge to root canal filling. This paper describes the root canal filling of a maxillary right canine with an overinstrumented apex, complete loss of the apical stop, extensive canal transportation and apical periodontitis. A 5 mm calcium hydroxide apical plug was placed before root canal filling. The plug was made by soaking paper points with saline, dipping the points in calcium hydroxide powder and then applying it to the apex several times, until a consistent apical plug was obtained. The canal was then irrigated with saline in order to remove any residual calcium hydroxide from the root canal walls, dried with paper points and obturated with an inverted #80 gutta-percha cone and zinc oxide-eugenol based sealer by the lateral condensation technique. An 8-year radiographic follow-up showed formation of mineralized tissue sealing the apical foramen, apical remodeling and no signs of apical periodontitis.
