1/3. Exarticulation and reimplantation utilizing guided tissue regeneration: a case report.The extraction and reimplantation of teeth is a technique that has been practiced for many years, resulting in successful retention of teeth for up to 30 years. Although evidence confirming the advantages of this technique is limited, clinical observations and histologic examinations have revealed some important factors that are prerequisites for success: limitation of the time the tooth is exposed to the extraoral environment and preservation of vital periodontal tissue attachments on root surfaces. The latter goal can be achieved by gentle, atraumatic removal of the tooth from its socket, and hence the term exarticulation and reimplantation is more representative of the technique. In the present case report, a maxillary lateral incisor with a developmental defect was treated by exarticulation and reimplantation and application of calcium sulfate. Exarticulation and reimplantation seems to be a useful clinical procedure, but controlled studies are required to confirm its efficacy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/3. Odontogenic sinus tract to the neck skin: a case report.We describe a 22-year-old woman with neck skin sinus tract that developed as a consequence of dental infection. The patient was treated twice in an inappropriate way with recurrence of the sinus tract. We opted for an extraction of the tooth. This case illustrates the need for cooperative diagnostic referrals between physicians and dentists.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/3. Epulis granulomatosa: extraction sequellae.Epulis granulomatosa is a post-surgical lesion emanating from an extraction socket. It can be misdiagnosed with lesions of similar appearance, for example, foreign body or pyogenic granulomas, or as a herniation of the maxillary sinus. Based on clinical appearance and microscopic description, granulomas all appear to represent essentially the same lesion. However, pathonomonically, the epulis granulomatosa emanates only from an extraction socket; the other granulomas can be found anywhere in the body.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
