Endodontic treatment of bilateral dens evaginatus premolars with large periapical lesions.
(66/187)
Dens evaginatus is a developmental anomaly characterized by the presence of an accessory cusp composed of enamel and dentine, usually containing pulp tissue. This condition is clinically important because of fracture or wear of the tubercle, which can frequently lead to the major complication of pulp necrosis and periapical infection. Treatment varies according to pulp condition, tubercle integrity, and stage of root development. Here we report a case of bilateral dens evaginatus with large periapical lesions. Non-surgical root canal treatment using calcium hydroxide medication was performed for both mandibular second premolars. At the 3-year postoperative recall examination, the teeth were asymptomatic and radiographically showed healing of the periapical lesions. (+info)

Treatment options for teeth with open apices and apical periodontitis.
(68/187)
Three clinical cases involving teeth with open apices and apical periodontitis were treated using different protocols. The first case was managed with intracanal calcium hydroxide paste for 12 months before obturation with gutta-percha and sealer. In the second case, an apical plug of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) was used before obturation with gutta-percha and sealer and treatment was completed during 2 appointments. In the third case, the tooth, which had a divergent root canal system, was completely obturated with MTA and treatment was also completed over 2 appointments. In all 3 cases, signs of bone healing were observed after treatment. (+info)
