Intentional replantation of a mandibular second molar with long-term follow-up: report of a case.

A case is reported of a mandibular second molar that underwent non-surgical endodontic treatment and intentional replantation in an effort to relieve continued symptoms. A 15.5-year follow-up clinical examination revealed the patient to be asymptomatic, the tooth to be still functional, and a recall film showed no evidence of root resorption. The indications for and limitations of intentional replantation as well as recommended literature on the subject are discussed.

A radiographic recall evaluation of 894 endodontic cases treated in a dental school setting.

A radiographic recall evaluation of 894 endodontic cases treated by dental students at the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry was conducted by faculty. The purpose of this study was to determine the success of standardized nonsurgical endodontic treatments by using radiographic techniques of determination and to compare the results to similar studies at other dental schools. Cases were labeled as successful, acceptable, questionable, and failing. Observations included time since treatment, age, gender, and tooth type. The combined percentage of successful and acceptable cases was 91.05%. Differences in percentage of success among recall time intervals were statistically significant (p < 0.01), as were the percentages of success between tooth types treated (p < 0.05). Success rate was not affected by age or gender (p > 0.05). The overall rate of successful and acceptable cases in this study was found to compare favorably with those from recall studies conducted at other dental schools.

Extracanal invasive root resorption: a perplexing oddity.

Extracanal invasive resorption originates in the periodontal ligament, making it difficult to determine during treatment whether all resorption cells have been eliminated. Consequently, periodontal defects and recurrence of the process are quite common. This process can occur supraosseously or subosseously and treatment may or may not include endodontic therapy. The pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment modalities are presented along with a clinical case with an 18-month follow-up as an example of the challenges associated with treatment of this lesion.

Mandibular second molar with C-shaped canal morphology and five canals: report of a case.

This article reviews a case involving endodontic treatment of a mandibular second molar with C-shaped canal morphology and five separate canals. The C-shaped canal variation of morphology is unusual and can lead to difficulties during treatment. Preoperative radiographs are limited in their ability to detect this entity; for a favorable treatment outcome, knowledge of the C-shaped canal's existence and morphology is essential.

Endodontic treatment of a maxillary central incisor with two separate roots: case report.

This case report involves endodontic treatment of a traumatized maxillary central incisor with two separate roots. Although the literature has reported that maxillary central incisors always have one root with one canal, this report (among others) serves to remind dentists that occasional morphological variations exist and should be ruled out when this type of tooth is treated.
