How Do Regenerative Endodontic Procedures Work for Immature Necrotic Teeth?

Abstract Treating an immature tooth with necrotic pulp has been a real challenge for dentists. Large immature canals without physiologic apical closure are difficult to debride, and restoring immature teeth with thin dentin walls is a challenge due to the tooth’s susceptibility to cervical root fracture. The majority of human case studies have shown good clinical outcomes such as the absence of clinical signs and symptoms, radiographic evidence of resolution of periapical infections, continued root development, and increased canal wall thickness for immature permanent teeth with pulpal necrosis following regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs). Furthermore, REPs have the potential to heal a necrotic pulp and restore functionality. This review compiles information on the principles and clinical protocols of REPs as well as their outcomes.

Method of Diagnosis and Treatment of Impacted Teeth on the Upper Jaw

Abstract Aim: The aim is to increase the effectiveness of diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of patients with impacted incisors and canines on the maxilla. Objectives:  To develop and propose a new technique for determining the topography of impacted teeth (incisors and canines) on the maxilla, using the highly informative data of cone-beam computed tomography; to apply a new method of diagnosis in the planning of comprehensive orthodontic treatment of patients with impacted teeth; to introduce this method into the clinical practice of orthodontist. Materials and methods:  To obtain a three-dimensional image, the X-ray device “Planmeca Pro Max 3D Mid” with «Planmeca Romexis»-the software for saving, viewing and changing images was used. To build and conduct measurements on the image the program “Dolphin Imaging” (3D Surgery and Ceph Tracing) (USA) was used. A computed tomogram of patient was used to determine the levels of location of impacted teeth and angles of their long...

Various Chief complaints that patients presented with in the clinic were prepared and used to review case files of patients. Statistical Package for social science (SPSS) version 21 was used to analyse the data collected; the relationship between chief complaints and age-group by sex of patients was examined. Toothaches was the most common chief complaints reported at 43.3% and this was more in females at 50.9%. Among the female sex, those within the age of 21-...
