Localized osteomyelitis secondary to endodontic-implant pathosis. A case report.

This case report documents the placement of a single implant fixture in an incisor extraction socket, with the adjacent lateral incisor developing periapical pathosis within 2 weeks. This root-end inflammatory process proceeded to communicate with the surface of the implant fixture. Although endodontic therapy was performed within one week on the devitalized tooth, and extensive osteomyelitis developed around the implant. Three weeks after placement, the fixture had to be removed. The osteotomy site appeared to be healing uneventfully during the one month follow-up period. Seven possible causes for this occurrence are discussed.

Caveat preparator: maxillary second bicuspid root invaginations.

Seventy-five percent of maxillary second bicuspids have a single pulpal canal. The remainder present dual canals with one or two associated apical orifices and proximal root concavities. This latter phenomenon may well lead to root perforations when placing posts. The following case documents such an occurrence.

Six-year histology of an avulsed molar reimplanted in a hydroxyapatite augmented socket: a case report.

This case report deals with the histologic examination of an avulsed tooth that was reimplanted in a socket where a distal root defect was augmented with hydroxyapatite. The 6-year results showed a "repair" type of connective tissue attachment. There were areas of ankylosis present on the distal root above an area of prior cystic debridement. The hydroxyapatite particles present demonstrated biocompatibility and encapsulation by new bone growth. There was a longer junctional epithelium present on the distal root than on its mesial counterpart. Histology of the distal root demonstrated fibrous repair, ankylosis, and osseous formation around the hydroxyapatite particles. This type of result was not apparent on the mesial root, devoid of hydroxyapatite, where a "splicing" type of healing occurred in the periodontal ligament.

Combined use of hydroxylapatite graft for ridge augmentation and orthodontic tipping for prosthetic alignment: a case report.

This article presents the use of hydroxylapatite as a treatment for various forms of periodontal disease. A case report illustrating hydroxylapatite's uses is included along with a discussion of studies involving hydroxylapatite.
