1/16. Orthodontic-prosthetic treatment to replace maxillary incisors exfoliated because of improper use of orthodontic elastics: a case report.This article describes the iatrogenic exfoliation of maxillary central incisors following the improper use of orthodontic elastic bands. The unsecured rubber band had migrated apically and caused an almost "bloodless extraction" of both maxillary central incisors. A combined orthodontic-prosthetic solution was used to replace the lost incisors.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/16. Orthodontic, genetic, and periodontal considerations in the treatment of impacted maxillary central incisors: A study of twins.Treatment of twins each with one impacted maxillary central incisor and a mesiodens is described. Treatment included rapid expansion, extraction of the mesiodens, surgical exposure of the impacted central incisor, and its forced eruption. The impacted incisor was brought into functional position in one patient but was lost in the other because of insufficient root length and high mobility. Orthodontic, genetic, and periodontal considerations of these 2 cases are evaluated.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/16. Primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the mandible presenting following tooth extraction.A case of oral non-Hodgkin's lymphoma presenting following a tooth extraction is reported. The clinical presentation was that of a periodontal lesion and an extraction socket that failed to heal, which may have led to initial confusion in diagnosis and management.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/16. prognosis of replanted primary incisors after injuries.Between 1979 and 1997, 58 avulsed primary teeth were treated at the Pedodontic Clinic of Niigata University Dental Hospital. Among these, we replanted six avulsed incisors of four patients and treated two teeth of two patients replanted at other dental clinics. Referring to the clinical records, oral photographs and radiographs, we examined the injury age, cause of injury, condition of tooth storage, length of time until replantation, and also the prognosis after replantation. Three teeth of two cases remained until eruption of their permanent successors, and one tooth of one case remained under observation without extraction. Although the other four teeth of three cases resulted in extraction, no secondary infection was detected due to replantation. The following reasons were suspected for the poor prognosis of the four teeth. One avulsed tooth was not fixed immediately after replantation. One replanted tooth might not have been compatible with the alveolar socket. In the other two teeth, the periodontal vital tissues might have been removed before replantation. It is generally suggested that replantation of primary teeth is not a good option. However, from the present results, it was considered that replantation can be an effectual method when the condition of the avulsed primary tooth is suitable.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/16. Coronal ridge augmentation in the absence of bilateral bony plates around a pathologically denuded implant surface.Guided bone regeneration via an osteopromotive barrier is indicated in different alveolar bone deficiencies and in periimplant bone destruction around pathologically denuded exposed implants. Regeneration of the osseous volume is determined by understanding the biologic behavior response of hard and soft tissues in guided tissue regeneration procedures. Consequently, a meticulous surgical approach is mandatory to preserve wound healing cascades and tissue stability. However, hard tissue augmentation in the nonsupported coronal direction has been unpredictable. A case report is presented in which a severely defected ridge around a pathologically exposed functional implant combined with a destructive extraction site was restored and regenerated. Bovine bone mineral particles (Bio-Oss) served as the graft material and were followed by an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) occlusive membrane as a bilateral regenerative tissue guide. Subsequently, 2 additional implants were placed in the augmented hard tissue ridge.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/16. Alveolar ridge preservation using a bioactive glass particulate graft in extraction site defects.This article describes the application of a bioactive glass particulate graft and placement of an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene barrier into extraction sites to preserve the residual ridge and to develop the site prior to fixed prosthetic replacement. Extraction site development can enhance and facilitate the position and shape of the pontics while maximizing the natural contour of the soft tissues.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/16. Generalized aggressive periodontitis in a prepubertal patient: a case report.A 10-year-old boy presented with generalized gingival inflammation, extensive alveolar bone loss, and tooth mobility. Clinical and radiographic examination supplemented by microbiologic investigation led to a diagnosis of classically termed prepubertal periodontitis (now known as generalized aggressive periodontitis). Other than severe periodontitis, the child was systemically healthy. Neither unusual infections nor abnormalities in neutrophil functions were detected. Microbiologic examinations by culture revealed the presence of the periodontal pathogen actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans. Treatment consisted of extraction of mobile teeth, supragingival and subgingival debridement, subgingival curettage, and root planing combined with a 1-week prescription of a combination of metronidazole and amoxicillin. Scanning electron microscopy of extracted teeth revealed hypoplastic and aplastic cementum at the periodontally exposed and intact surfaces. Clinical and microbiologic follow-up was continued over a 1-year period. No periodontal lesions have been detected, and A actinomycetemcomitans could not be isolated from the subgingival areas of the remaining teeth at the end of the first year. Since A actinomycetemcomitans was the main pathogen present in the subgingival microflora of the patient, it might play a key role in the etiology of prepubertal periodontitis.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/16. Localized aggressive periodontitis in a six-year-old: a case report.The purpose of this report was to describe an approach to diagnose and effectively treat a pediatric patient with localized aggressive periodontitis. A 6-year-old female presented with clinical and radiographic evidence of severe attachment loss around several primary teeth. She had no history of systemic disease, periodontal disease, or caries prior to the periodontal abscess that prompted her referral. Routine immunological tests did not reveal any functional defects, but dna testing for periodontal pathogens revealed the presence of all 8 aggressive periodontal pathogens assayed. Treatment consisted of the extraction of 2 severely affected primary teeth, increased frequency of recall appointments, and administration of systemic antibiotics. The patient's periodontal condition was stabilized 18 months post-treatment, and the 8 pathogens were no longer at detectable levels. With a treatment goal of preventing disease progression into the erupting permanent dentition, this treatment regimen provides an effective alternative to more aggressive strategies.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/16. A case of tourette syndrome presenting with oral self-injurious behaviour.Self-injurious behaviour (SIB) is deliberate harm to the body without suicidal intent, and the condition occurs in a number of psychiatric, behavioural and developmental disorders. This case report describes a 4-year-old female with SIB who presented to a paediatric dentist after the self-extraction of teeth as a result of oral motor tics. The girl repetitively ground her teeth in a monophasic lateral motion that resulted in luxation of her maxillary right primary canine, and produced generalized oral and facial pain. The parents consulted the dentist about their child's complaint of toothache. The oral findings were unexcephonable except for a mobile primary canine, but there was a history of unusual behaviour including hyperactivity, and after multidisciplinary consultation and exclusion of other systemic diseases, the subject was diagnosed as suffering from Tourette syndrome (TS). Preventive treatment using a dental splint was provided. Noncontingent reinforcement therapy was successfully used to diminish the subject's SIB.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/16. Iatrogenic exfoliation of a tooth following abuse of a rubber dam: a case report.This report presents a case in which tooth exfoliation followed rubber dam abuse. A 40-year-old patient was referred to the prosthodontic clinic with complaints of mobility and discomfort in tooth 44, which had received an amalgam restoration. While this tooth was scaled, a piece of rubber dam appeared in the buccal sulcus. Removal of the rubber piece was followed by thorough scaling and tooth splinting. Tooth deterioration continued, and concern for the adjacent teeth necessitated extraction of tooth 44. To avoid such undesirable consequences, the integrity of the dam should be verified on its removal.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
