Prosthodontic management of vertical root extrusion.

The treatment of teeth with subalveolar injury or pathology by vertical orthodontic extrusion technique and fixed prosthodontic restoration has been examined. A prosthodontic technique using a permanently positioned post and core for orthodontic anchorage has been described. This single-dowel technique precludes hazardous repetitive intracanal instrumentation and facilitates esthetic management throughout treatment. Further clinical research is necessary to explore directional force vectors and the treatment of difficult extrusion cases due to occlusal interferences.

Bruxism and its effect on the natural teeth.

Bruxism is one of the most prevalent, complex, and destructive dental functional disorders. It is difficult to identify, especially in its early stages, because most patients are unaware of the habit. Although many factors contribute to the etiology of the disorder, there is little valid and reliable clinical research to assure a correct diagnosis. The effects of bruxism are multiple and diverse and include temporomandibular joint pain and dysfunction, head and neck pain, tooth wear, mobility, erosion, abrasion, loss of and damage to supporting structures, muscle pain and spasm, disturbance of esthetics, and interference and oral comfort. Treatment may be simple or complex, depending on the nature of the disorder. More severe disorders are difficult to treat, and the prognosis may be questionable. Because the diagnosis and treatment of bruxism is inadequately defined and poorly understood, carefully designed clinical research projects are encouraged.

A comparison of two post systems under applied compressive-shear loads.

This study compared a new parallel-tapering, threaded, split-shank post with a well-accepted parallel serrated post under applied compressive-shear loads. The posts were placed in paired, contralateral human teeth to attempt to minimize variation in the tooth model. Both initial and ultimate failure modes were observed, and the clinical significance reported. The Flexi-post system compared favorably with the Para-Post system under the conditions of this research.

Calcium hydroxide and apexogenesis.

This case report describes the effect of calcium hydroxide in the treatment of traumatized immature tooth. Calcium hydroxide is used to fill the root canal after complete chemomechanical debridement has been performed. The result demonstrated the successful use of calcium hydroxide in stimulating the epithelial cells of Hertwig's sheath and the surrounding undifferentiated progenitor cells to continue formation of the apical portion of the root. Thus, the use of calcium hydroxide stimulated apical bridge formation, as well as inducing apexogenesis.
