Abstract

Introduction: Permanent tooth avulsions occur in 0.5%–16% of all dental injuries. Treatment for avulsions includes replantation followed by root canal treatment to reduce extraoral dry time and achieve a good prognosis. Avulsions in permanent teeth stifle vascular circulation, leading to necrosis. Necrosis in immature permanent teeth results in incomplete apical closure. Such cases require apexification treatment to ensure a hermetic root canal treatment.Aim: The purpose of this case report is to describe apexification treatment for an avulsed immature maxillary central incisor using biodentine.Case and Management: This case report describes the case of a 12-year-old boy with a complaint of a loose tooth due to a fall, 3 hours before arriving at RSGM Prof.Soedomo UGM. The patient arrived with the tooth soaked in saline. The socket was cleaned followed by replantation and splinting for 4 weeks. Four weeks later, root canal treatment and apexification using biodentine were performed. The patient was instructed to return for a follow-up after six months. The results of clinical and radiographic examinations showed good filling, no root resorption, and no complaints from the patient.Discussion: Apexification is a method for creating a calcification barrier on non-vital teeth with open apices. In this case, a one-step apexification procedure was performed to obtain an apical plug using biodentine. Biodentine exhibits excellent biocompatibility, hydrophilic properties, greater sealing ability, and shorter setting times.Conclusion: Biodentine can be used for apexification treatment of avulsed immature teeth and has demonstrated good efficacy in forming an apical barrier.

Abstract

Mandibular parasymphysis fractures account for approximately 15% of all mandibular fractures, often resulting from high-impact trauma directed upward or obliquely to the lower face. Such injuries may be associated with traumatic dental injuries, including extrusive luxation, which is characterized by loosening and partial displacement of a tooth from its socket. We report a case of a 20-year-old male referred to RSUD Dr. Achmad Mochtar following a motorcycle accident 7 days prior to admission. The patient presented with chin pain, limited mouth opening, masticatory difficulty, and mobility with sensitivity of the maxillary anterior tooth. Clinical examination revealed an abrasion on the left cheek and sutured laceration on the left  upper labial and mental regions, a posterior open bite on the right side, and extrusive luxation of tooth 22. Step deformity and mobility were noted in the right mandibular region at teeth 43–44. Radiographic evaluation confirmed a radiolucent fracture line between teeth 43 and 44. The socket of tooth 22 appeared empty apically, with widening of the periodontal ligament space. Diagnosis of mandibular parasymphysis dextra fracture with extrusive luxation of tooth 22 was established. Management consisted of repositioning and stabilization of tooth 22, followed by closed reduction and internal fixation (CRIF) using  arch bar and intermaxillary fixation. Postoperative outcomes showed satisfactory occlusion and stable adaptation of tooth 22 in its socket. This case highlights the importance of comprehensive evaluation and timely management of mandibular fractures associated with dental luxation to restore function and prevent long-term complications.

Abstract

Introduction: Altered passive eruption (APE) is a mucogingival condition with the margin being positioned too far coronally, thereby covering a portion of the anatomical crown. This condition often leads to aesthetic concerns, specifically an excessive gingival display known as a gummy smile. This case report aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of gingivectomy as a single surgical procedure in aesthetic correction in cases of APE. Case and Management: A 23-year-old female patient presented with a chief complaint of short and small maxillary anterior teeth. Clinical examination revealed symmetrical gingiva with a rubbery consistency and slight bleeding on probing. Clinical crown length measurements showed a shorter-than-normal size. Periapical radiographs confirmed that the distance between the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) and the alveolar crest was within normal limits, justifying a soft-tissue-only approach. After an initial phase of periodontal therapy to control inflammation, gingivectomy was performed using an external bevel incision technique. The procedure was followed by gingivoplasty to reshape the gingival contour for a more proportional outcome. Post-operative evaluation showed a significant increase in clinical crown length, improved plaque index, and a more harmonious gingival contour. The patient expressed high satisfaction with both the aesthetic and functional results. Conclusion: Gingivectomy is an effective and minimally invasive surgical option for correcting aesthetic issues resulting from altered passive eruption The success of this case underscores the importance of a correct diagnosis and a clear understanding of the etiology before determining a treatment plan.
