Abstract

The formation of human dentition is a highly intricate process. Any disruptions during the various stages of tooth development can lead to distinct abnormalities, affecting either the primary or permanent teeth. Gemination and fusion are dental anomalies that affect tooth morphology, resulting in the appearance of an unusually wide tooth. Fusion and gemination are often referred to using terms such as double teeth, double formation, conjoined teeth, geminifusion, vicinifusion, and dental twinning. Double teeth can lead to various clinical issues, including aesthetic concerns, spacing irregularities, and an increased risk of tooth decay. Effective management of these cases requires a thorough understanding of the condition and its associated complications. This report presents a case of a 2-year-old boy with a primary maxillary left central incisor presenting a double tooth. The tooth was carious and pulpally involved. The condition was managed conservatively through endodontic treatment, followed by aesthetic rehabilitation using direct composite restoration. Regular clinical and radiographic evaluations were conducted every three months. No abnormalities were observed during these follow-up visits. Managing PDT may involve a multidisciplinary approach, and early diagnosis is essential to prevent and address potential complications in both primary teeth and their permanent successors.

Abstract

Objective: This case report describes an attempt to improve regeneration outcomes for atrophied ridges using an octacalcium phosphate–coated deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) consisting of 100% cancellous bone, with the addition of adjuvant factors, including platelet concentrates (PC) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF).Methods: A 53-year-old man presented with insufficient ridge height to support an implant following extraction of a fractured molar at FDI 16. Simultaneous implant placement and bone augmentation procedures were performed. An implant was placed in the remaining bone, and the defect was first filled with a coagulated mass comprising DBBM, PC, calcium, and thrombin and then covered with PRF.Results: No complications were recorded. A screw-retained temporary crown was placed after 4.5 months, and a final crown was replaced 3 months thereafter. Long-term stability was documented for over 11 years, based on radiographic images.Conclusion: This case study demonstrated the long-term safety and reliability of the xenograft to support bone regeneration and implant stability in a patient who was treated for alveolar bone loss.

Abstract

Introduction: The esthetic restoration of anterior teeth is designed to offer a healthy and harmonious smile by correcting patients most significant aesthetic concerns regarding the size, shape, and color of the upper anterior teeth. An excellent alternative for anterior teeth with extensive restorations is lithium disilicate glass ceramic. This case report describes the treatment of anterior teeth due to tooth deformation with Lithium Disilicate veneers to restore aesthetics and function.Case Report: A 35-year-old female patient complained that her maxillary front teeth were unaesthetic and the teeth size was disharmonious. The patient felt that her appearance was disturbed. Intraoral examination of teeth #11, #21 and #22 revealed composite fillings, Teeth #11 and #22 vitality test (+), Teeth #12 and #21 vitality test (-), percussion and palpation tests (-). Diagnosis of teeth #11 and #22 reversible pulpitis, teeth #12 and #21 Previously Treated Teeth. The restoration plan for teeth #11, #12, #21, and #22 was lithium disilicate indirect veneer. The patient was satisfied with the results.Discussion: Lithium disilicate-based veneers have long been used as a strong and durable material for correcting deformities in the anterior teeth. In this case, marginal adaptation was well achieved the colour matched the natural teeth, and the anterior shape appeared symmetrical.Conclusion: Lithium disilicate veneers are indicated for teeth that have faced significant deformation and restoration. This material is employed due to its minimally invasive nature and its transparency and color, which resemble those of natural teeth, resulting in an aesthetically appealing and natural finish.

Abstract

Maxillary Incisors are most prone to trauma during childhood and many cases are left untreated until the growth is completed. Maxillary Incisor avulsion is considered as one of the most serious forms of trauma and immediate treatment is indicated whenever possible. This was a case of avulsion of Maxillary Central Incisor in a 13-year-old male patient and a delay in treatment which had cause mesial drifting of the adjacent teeth along with mandibular incisor extrusion leading to formation of deepbite. Fixed Orthodontic treatment was carried out and the space for replacement of the missing maxillary central incisor was maintained using a removable partial denture followed by placement of a single tooth implant after growth completion.

Abstract

In terms of root canal treatments, it is mandatory to detect all the orifices found on the pulp chamber floor to diminish the bacterial load ensuring proper chemo-mechanical debridement of the root canals and creating a three-dimensional space for an inert filling material preventing further infections; therefore, All clinicians must be aware of the Middle Mesial Canal (MMC) to provide complete cleaning and sealing of the canals, as these missing canals correlate significantly with apical periodontitis. A young female patient presented with throbbing pain and swelling on the lower left side of her face; after clinical and radiographic examinations, an infected, pretreated mandibular left first molar was found to be responsible for the symptoms. After removing the restoration and reaching the pulp chamber floor, a neglected confluent middle mesial canal was discovered, cleansed, and treated. To date, the tooth has not developed any signs of failure. Since detecting and treating all root canals in multi-rooted teeth are fundamental in terms of endodontic therapy to minimize bacterial growth, provide proper sealing of root canal systems, and increase the success rate of root canal treatments, clinicians must always have a clear conscience and take sufficient time to seek all root canals present in a tooth, not only the well-known and recurrent ones.

Abstract

An eruption cyst (EC) is a benign, nonodontogenic lesion. It appears as a Semi-spherical swelling in the mucosa overlying an erupting tooth. This condition occurs when the dental follicle separates from the crown, leading to the formation of a fluid-filled space. Eruption cysts usually have an epithelial lining and are encased in fibrous connective tissue.In a case involving an eleven-year-old girl, a painless, dome-shaped swelling was observed in the lower left posterior region of her jaw. This was diagnosed as an eruption cyst associated with tooth 35. An inferior alveolar nerve block was administered under local anesthesia. An access opening on tooth 75 was made and horizontal incision was given to drain the cystic fluid. Post-operative care included antibiotics and pain management. Follow-up visits showed significant healing, and subsequently pulpectomy and placement of a stainless-steel crown on tooth 75 was carried out. This case highlights the importance of conservative management for eruption cysts in pediatric patients, ensuring effective treatment while minimizing discomfort.

Abstract

Introduction: The mandibular first premolars usually have a single root canal, with the presentation of root canal variations being quite rare. Mandibular first premolars with three root canals are very rare. The anomaly occurs during the tooth development phase, causing anatomical variations. Complex root morphology poses a challenge to the dentist in performing treatment. A good and thorough knowledge of the morphology and possible root canal variations can help to obtain adequate treatment.Case Report: A 21-year-old male with a complained of pain in the area of the lower right posterior tooth, accompanied by discomfort when biting about 3 months ago. Objective examination revealed caries on the disto-oclusal of the lower right first premolar. Vitality, percussion, and palpation tests were negative. Periapical radiographs showed a radiolucent area in the disto-oclusal region that had reached the pulp, the number of root canals was 3 and radiolucent in the apical lingual root. The diagnosis for tooth 44 was asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis with asymptomatic apical periodontitis. The root canal configuration was determined to be Vertucci class VIII. Root canal treatment using rotary crown down preparation technique and obturation with warm vertical compaction, class II composite resin restoration.Discussion: Vertucci class VIII is a rare root canal configuration. Successful treatment of complex root canals can be supported by proper radiographic interpretation, understanding of root canal anatomy, adequate preparation, medicament and obturation techniques.Conclusion: Root canal treatment of mandibular first premolars with Vertucci class VIII configuration using warm vertical compaction obturation technique showed good results.

Abstract

Objective:This study aims to introduce and evaluate a novel technique for administering the inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB), which demonstrates a 100% success rate and improved anatomical landmark identification compared to conventional methods.Methods:A prospective clinical study was conducted at The Dental Door (Private clinic), India, involving 100 patients undergoing mandibular dental procedures. The newly proposed technique, characterized by simplified landmark identification and modified needle angulation, was employed. Success was defined by the onset of effective anaesthesia within 3–5 minutes without the need for re-injection. The results were compared with data from traditional IANB techniques performed in a matched historical cohort.Results:The novel technique demonstrated a 100% success rate, significantly higher than the 80–85% success rate typically reported with conventional IANB methods. None of the patients required re-injection, and anatomical landmarks were more consistently identifiable.Conclusion:This new IANB technique offers a highly effective and reproducible alternative to the conventional method, especially beneficial in busy clinical settings due to its ease of application and improved reliability.

Abstract

Introduction: The most commonly used hypertension medications are calcium channel blockers (CCB). Their oral impact is well recognized for gingival enlargement, yet is very limited to another oral manifestations. Here, we reported a rare case of recurrent aphthous ulcer in a patient under CCB medication.Case Report: A 59-year-old male patient came to Hasanuddin University Dental Hospital with a chief complaint of recalcitrant ulcers on his mouth three weeks ago, which started to occur continuously for a year after the regular consumption of amlodipine. Intraoral examination demonstrated painful solitary white ulcer on the right ventral of the tongue and on the left buccal mucosa. The working diagnosis of recurrent aphthous ulcer et causa CCB was made. Management includes dexamethasone gargle, triamcinolone acetonide gel, and chlorhexidine gluconate, which improved significantly. The patient was suggested to do a consultation with his internist regarding drug substitution.Discussion: The incidence of oral ulcers induced by CCB is predicted to be related to immunological mechanisms. Any drug component triggers an exaggerated immune reaction directed at the surface of the epithelium, resulting in ulcer. The potential for such response depends on the drug's immunogenicity, exposure frequency, and administration route.Conclusion: Practitioners should consider the possibility of oral ulceration triggered by a specific drug, especially if any therapy does not exhibit improvement. Moreover, dental literature must explore the association between CCB and oral ulcers more since this issue has limited explanations.
