    Endodontic Topics 2005, 11, 152–178 Copyright r Blackwell Munksgaard All rights reserved ENDODONTIC TOPICS 2005 1601-1538 Surgical repair of root and tooth perforations JOHN D. REGAN, DAVID E. 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.

  • Teacher Notes for Dental Dam Demonstration
    Teacher Notes for Dental Dam Demonstration 1. For this demonstration you will need an unopened condom. Consider using a flavoured condom if available, as these help emphasize the importance of using condoms to prevent STI transmission during oral sex. 2. You will be using your hand to simulate a vulva and vagina or anus. To see a video demonstration of the correct procedure, go to https://teachingsexualhealth.ca/teachers/resource/latex-barrier-demonstration/ 3. Explain that this is a demonstration of how to make and use a dental dam. A dental dam is a piece of material that lowers the risk of STI during oral sex on a vulva or anus by providing a barrier between one partner’s vulva or anus and the other partner’s mouth. You will be demonstrating how to make a dental dam out of a condom. 4. Explain that there are 2 important things to consider when choosing a condom Check the expiration date on the package. Condoms break down over time. If the expiration date has passed do not use the condom as it could break. Check that the package does not have any holes and that it looks like it’s in good condition. To do this, squeeze the package and feel for a pocket of air, like a bag of chips. That shows there are no holes in the package. Now is also a good time to remind students that condoms need careful storage. They are sensitive to heat, cold, folding, sunlight, and rubbing. 5. To open the package, push the condom inside the package over to one side and rip down that side of the package.

Abstract: The instrumental fracture is a common endodontic complication that is treated by surgical or non-surgical removal approaches. However, no tool exists to help the clinician to choose between available strategies, and decision-making is mostly based on clinical judgment. Digital solutions, such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Virtual Treatment Planning (VTP), were recently proposed in maxillofacial surgery. The aim of the current study is to present a digital tool to help decide between non-surgical and surgical strategies in a clinical situation of a fractured instrument. Five models Citation: Richert, R.; Farges, J.-C.; have been created: the initial state of the patient, two non-surgical removal strategies using a low or Villat, C.; Valette, S.; Boisse, P.; Ducret, high root canal enlargement, and two surgical removal strategies using a 3- or 6-mm apicoectomy.

  • What Are Dental Dams? Sexual Health Benefits How Do I Use A
    What are Dental Dams? Dental dams are small, thin, square pieces of latex or polyurethane that are used for oral-vaginal or oral-anal sex. They acquire their name from their use in dental procedures. Dental dams help to reduce the transmission of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) during oral sex by acting as a barrier to vaginal and anal secretions that contain bacteria and viruses. They come in a variety of sizes and flavors, so you can find a dam that satisfies your tastes. It is also possible to create your own dental dam (see below). Sexual Health Benefits Because dental dams act as a barrier to body fluids, they help reduce STI transmission. Many sexually transmitted infections, such as herpes, genital warts and HIV can be passed through the secretions in oral sex. Like condoms, dental dams must be used correctly and consistently in order to be effective. Although it may seem a little awkward to use at first, dental dams are extremely easy to use. Many people believe that using a dam will nullify the enjoyment of oral sex. That's not how it has to be! Granted, the feeling of latex will be different than a tongue, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Using a dental dam with water-based lube can offer your partner a new type of stimulation. Although oral sex is considered less risky than vaginal or anal sex, there is still a risk of transmitting STIs. To be as safe as possible, use a dental dam for every act of oral sex.
