The influence of 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-bisphosphonate (HEBP) on dental root resorption in the mouse.

It has been hypothesized that phagocytosis of a layer of mineralized material which is sometimes deposited along the root surface following trauma is an important factor in the initiation of the resorption of teeth. To test this hypothesis, freezing of the mouse incisor periodontium was used as a model where deposition of mineral was prevented by the systemic administration of 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-bisphosphonate (HEBP, 10 mg P/kg b.w.) for time periods varying from 2 to 31 days. The animals were killed either 24 hours or 1 month after the last injection and their mandibles were processed for light microscopy. In the HEBP-treated animals, killed 24 hours after the last injection, no mineralized material had been deposited along the root surface, and very little resorption was seen. Large amounts of bone matrix were deposited in the intraperiodontal space (often causing localized ankylosis). In HEBP-treated animals killed 1 month after the last injection, again no layer of mineralized material along the root surface was seen, but now root resorption had become manifest, occupying up to 40% of the cement surface. This occurred irrespective of the duration of HEBP administration. In the saline-treated animals, extensive resorption of the incisor was noted (up to 90% of its surface). It is concluded that the layer of mineralized material deposited after the periodontium is frozen does not play a decisive part in the onset of root resorption. HEBP treatment slows down root resorption but does not prevent it.

Effect of different endodontic treatment protocols on periodontal repair and root resorption of replanted dog teeth.

This study examined, histologically, the healing of intentionally damaged root surfaces of replanted teeth with either uninfected or infected root canals treated with short- and long-term calcium hydroxide. Thirty beagle dog incisors were randomly divided into four groups. In group 1, uninfected obturated incisors were extracted, the roots were longitudinally grooved and the teeth were replanted within 2 min. In group 2 the root canals were artificially infected followed by extraction, longitudinal grooving, and replantation as described in group 1. Fourteen days after replantation, the root canals were fully instrumented and medicated with intracanal calcium hydroxide. One week later the root canals were permanently obturated with gutta-percha and sealer. The teeth in group 3 were treated as described in group 2 but after 1 wk the calcium hydroxide dressing was repacked for the duration of the study. In group 4 (positive control) the teeth were treated as described in groups 2 and 3 but no endodontic treatment was performed. After 8 wk, sacrifice and histological preparation were carried out. In group 1 complete cemental repair was seen in all teeth. In groups 2 and 3, complete and incomplete cemental repair was seen in seven and two teeth, respectively. An ankylotic area was present in one tooth in group 3. None of the teeth in group 4 showed cemental repair. It was concluded that short- and long-term calcium hydroxide treatment resulted in similar healing patterns when endodontic treatment is initiated 14 days after replantation of teeth.
