A 19-yr-old female presented with three root canals and dens formation in a maxillary right lateral incisor. This rare condition was treated with conventional endodontic therapy.
Removal of foreign objects from the root canal is often a very difficult procedure. The procedure is even more complicated if the foreign body is unusual. To cases are presented in which the foreign objects were removed with minimal loss to the intracanal space.
A case is presented in which a nasopalatine duct cyst was misdiagnosed. Its subsequent mismanagement was further compounded with improper endodontic therapy. It was finally managed by corrective endodontic and surgical therapy.
Endemic fluorosis is a public health problem in many parts of Kenya due to high fluoride content in the drinking water. The Kenyan Government is committed to development of water sources with the object of supplying safe and sufficient water to the entire population by the year 2000. This water will contain high amounts of fluoride thereby increasing the incidence of severe endemic fluorosis in Kenya. Development of procedures for partial defluoridation should therefore be considered. Various defluoridation methods adopted in different places affected with endemic fluorosis are reviewed in the present article, with special reference to problems of operation and limitations in their application.
