Abstract

Background: Traumatic dental injuries often occur in the community reaching 85% of patients and in preschool children the proportion reaches 17%. Among the injuries are tooth fracture, tooth luxation, tooth avulsion and open apex which causes pulp death or necrosis, causing root growth to stop. Regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) with a biological approach to treat necrotic immature permanent teeth can promote pulpal growth, increase the thickness of the dentin wall and form apical foramens. Enterococcus faecalis bacteria can be resistant to some drugs and root canal irrigation substances and may persist in the root canal system. Recently, sodium diclofenac has been reported to retain a new potential to eliminate Enterococcus faecalis biofilm. This shows that sodium diclofenac is potential as an anti-biofilm material. Purpose: To evaluate the potential use of sodium diclofenac in RET. Review: This review was investigated in PubMed and Google Scholar containing keywords: Sodium Diclofenac, Enterococcus faecalis and Regenerative Endodontic Treatment. Sodium diclofenac is a potential medicament to eliminate Enterococcus faecalis biofilm therefore has a potency to be used in Regenerative Endodontic Treatment. Conclusion: The success rate of RET depends on the elimination of microorganisms in the root canal systems. The use of sodium diclofenac as a medicament to eliminate Enterococcus faecalis biofilm is potential to be used in RET. Further researches are encouraged to explore the benefits of sodium diclofenac as a medicament in RET.

Abstract

Background: Apex resection is the surgical removal of the apex or root end of a tooth. Endodontic failure is the most usual reason of treatment being performed. Retreatment may be the first option for teeth which have been treated conventionally and exhibit a persistent apical lesion. In particular, failures during conventional therapy could hinder results by leading infections to spread to inaccessible apical regions, necessitating surgery. Purpose: This case report aims to describe the management of radicular cyst on previously treated tooth. Case: A 51-year-old male patient came to Soewandhie General Hospital with a complaint of swelling on his hard palate from one year before. The left maxillary incisor has undergone root canal treatment about 1 year ago, but had not been permanently filled. Case Management: The treatments given were retreatment for 21 and root canal treatment for 22, then followed by cyst enucleation and apex resection on both teeth. Conclusion: Apex resection shows a satisfying result for treating previously treated tooth with persistent apical lesion.

Abstract

Background: Forensic identification is a critical aspect of criminal investigations and disaster victim identification (DVI). Dental records, particularly dental restorations, serve as essential forensic markers due to their resistance to decomposition and environmental conditions. The integration of radiographic imaging and material-based analysis enhances the accuracy of forensic identification, allowing experts to match post-mortem findings with ante-mortem records. Purpose: This literature review aims to explore the role of dental restorations in forensic identification, focusing on the radiographic techniques and material-based forensic analysis used in modern forensic odontology. Reviews: This literature discusses the durability and uniqueness of dental restorations in forensic investigations. Various radiographic techniques, including periapical, panoramic, and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging, are examined for their effectiveness in detecting and analyzing restorations. Additionally, the forensic relevance of restorative materials—such as amalgam, composite resins, ceramics, and metal-based prosthetics—is evaluated in cases where conventional soft tissue or DNA-based identification is not feasible. The review also explores technological innovations, including machine learning algorithms and digital forensic methods, that enhance forensic odontology. Conclusion: Dental restorations remain one of the most reliable forensic markers, particularly in challenging identification cases where DNA and soft tissues are compromised. The integration of advanced radiographic imaging and material analysis significantly enhances the precision of forensic identification. Future developments in AI-driven forensic imaging and automated restoration detection will further strengthen forensic odontology as a crucial field in legal and disaster investigations.
