(BaandBb) An 18-year-old man presenting a periapical infection on the upper left central incisor caused by an enamel-dentin fracture many years ago. REP was performed with Portland cement (Medcem) as the hTCS. (Bc) Three years later, the treated tooth presented a slight yellowish ...
The presence of a supernumerary tooth can lead to potential complications, such as crowding of the teeth; noneruption or delayed eruption of the adjacent teeth; displacement of teeth; midline diastema; delayed exfoliation of primary teeth; cyst formation; paresthesia and/or pain due to a supernume...
1b Root-treatment completed through the crown without serious damage A more realistic estimation may be in the order of 4–8% in the 10 years following active treatment.10–13 This estimation does, however, assume that efforts were made to identify and manage all obvious pulpal pathosis ...
or 'holes.' Symptoms of tooth decay include pain, infection, and tooth loss. In the United States, dental caries is the most common chronic childhood disease, five times more common than asthma.
Parents donated naturally exfoliated primary canine teeth when the children were between 5 and 7 years of age.39 Canines are easier to analyze because of their lower levels of wear, thicker enamel, and extended duration of crown formation.40 The sample size of 70 teeth is larger than those ...

crown.) 2) The fact that the tooth has pain suggests that the decay has advanced close enough to the tooth’s nerve tissue to irritate it. If the nerve tissue is at a point where it has been significantly traumatized, the tooth would require root canal treatment before rebuilding it would...
Thermal sensitivity testing using heat or cold is useful as pain from an injured pulp is often triggered or relieved by sudden tempera- ture changes. The electric pulp tester (EPT) uses an electric current to excite a response from the pulpal tissue of the tooth. This, however, gives no ...
The patient was in a lot of dental pain. 1) Pre-op x-ray. 2) Tooth #31 had a temporary dental filling in it. 3) – 4) After removal of the dental crown of #32 showing the residual empty tooth socket. 5) – 6) Next a minimal gum flap is reflected to show exposure of the ...
Later, following deposition of apical dentin and cement, roots are developing well in all equine cheek teeth by circa 2 years after eruption. One study suggested that separate pulp canals may not develop in mandibular cheek tooth until 5–6 years following eruption,9 but more extensive studies ...
