When the fractured segment lies apical to canal curvature, overzealous removal of tooth structure is required to gain access to the separated segment which in turn increases the likelihood of root fracture. In infected cases, the stage at which instrument separation occurs is crucial as root canal disinfection is jeopardized. This case report describes the surgical retrieval of a fractured endodontic file from the mesiobuccal canal of mandibular first molar by limited resection of mesial root. Second generation platelet concentrate called Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) and nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite and β- tricalcium phosphate bone graft was placed to fill the surgical defect as the combination enhances the regenerative effect of PRF by exerting an osteoconductive effect in the bony defect area. The clinical and radiographic examination after eighteen months revealed complete periapical healing.

WITHERSPOON & DEBORAH M. FOYLE A root perforation is a mechanical or pathological communication formed between the supporting periodontal apparatus of the tooth and the root canal system. Three broad categories of etiological factors exist and these are procedural mishaps, resorption and caries. The diagnosis, management and repair of root perforations require skill and creative thinking. Unfortunately, much of what has been written on the subject of root perforation repair is unsubstantiated and empirical in nature and contributes little to evidence-based support for any specific repair procedure. However, perforation repair frequently provides a very attractive and frequently successful alternative to extraction of the involved tooth. In recent years, the procedure has become more predictable owing to the development of new materials, techniques and procedures.

Apicoectomy involves surgical management of a tooth with a periapical lesion which cannot be resolved by routine endodontic treatment. Because the term “apicoectomy” consists of only one aspect of a multifaceted series of surgical procedures, i.e removal of root apex, the terms “periapical surgery” or “periradicular surgery” are more apposite. It must only be applied in specific situations. Endodontic treatment failures can be related to: extra-radicular infections such as periapical actinomycosis; to foreign body reactions that can be caused by endodontic material extrusion; to endogenous cholesterol crystal accumulation in apical tissues and unresolved cystic lesion.

Introduction. Vertical root fracture (VRF) is one of the most frustrating complications of root canal treatment. The prognosis of the root with VRF is poor therefore tooth extraction and root amputation are usually the only treatment options. However, bonding of the fracture line with adhesive resin cement during the intentional replantation procedure was recently suggested as an alternative to tooth extraction. Methods. A vertically fractured left maxillary incisor was carefully extracted, fracture line was treated with adhesive resin cement, a retrograde cavity was produced and filled with calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement, and tooth was replanted. Results. After 12 months the tooth was asymptomatic.

  • Surgical Endodontics
    Surgical Endodontics Root end resection 1980 Harrison and Todd. The effect of root resection on the sealing property of root canal obturations. - Root resection with a rotary instrument in a high-speed handpiece does not adversely affect the sealing property of well-condensed GP-sealer obturations. (cold lateral condensation) Therefore should you just accept the apicectomy with no retrograde? - as apical seal would not be improved (provided seal is good in the 1st place). If doubt exists a retrofilling should be placed. 1993 Craig and Harrison. Wound healing following demineralization of resected root ends in periradicular surgery Citric acid used to demineralise root ends resulting in more rapid and complete healing than the non-demineralized. Therefore it is proposed that demineralization enhances cementogenesis by removing the smear layer and exposing the collagen fibrils (organic component of resected cementum and dentin). The PDL derived tissue is primarily responsible for dentoalveolar healing and endosteal-derived tissue is responsible for alveolar (osseous) healing. Smear layer may act as a barrier to induction mechanisms for cementum deposition emanating from resected dentine or cementum. Exposure of collagen promotes early adherence of fibrin, fibronectin and reparative cells to the resected root surfaces. Conclusions Demineralisation of resected root ends with citric acid enhances cementogenesis and dentoalveolar healing. Cementum deposition on resected root ends is essential for optimum repair which includes re-formation of a functional PDL between cementum and new bone. Granulation tissue emanating from severed endosteal tissues is primarily responsible for alveolar healing – better with demineraized roots Therefore demineralization of resected root ends should be incorporated into the periapical surgery.

  • The Preservation of Teeth with Root-Originated Fractures
    Rosen et al. Evidence-Based Endodontics (2018) 3:2 Evidence-Based Endodontics https://doi.org/10.1186/s41121-018-0016-7 REVIEW Open Access The preservation of teeth with root- originated fractures Eyal Rosen1*, Ilan Beitlitum2 and Igor Tsesis1 Abstract Traditionally, when a root-originated fracture (ROF) was diagnosed in an endodontically treated tooth, the tooth was scheduled for extraction. However, modern endodontics offers new treatment options to manage and maintain certain ROF teeth. The decision of whether to extract a ROF tooth and substitute it with a dental implant, or to implement a more conservative management approach by attempting an additional endodontic treatment aimed to preserve the natural tooth, is complicated and multifactorial. The management alternatives of ROF teeth range from a traditional root amputation in multi-rooted teeth to modern endodontic surgical modalities that may enable the preservation of a fractured tooth. This required decision-making process includes prosthetic, periodontal, esthetic, endodontic, and patient value concerns.
