What is Hemisection in dentistry?
Hemisection is sectioning of multi-rooted teeth with its crown portion, with the loss of periodontal attachment and is performed to retain the original tooth structure and attain the fixed prosthodontic prosthesis. We describe hemisection of a mandibular molar tooth followed by adequate restoration in a young patient.
What is radisection?
Radisection is a newer terminology for removal of roots of maxillary molars. Bisection/bicuspidization is the separation of mesial and distal roots of mandibular molars along with its crown portion, where both segments are then retained individually [5].
What is furcation of tooth?
A furcation defect is bone loss, which is usually from periodontal disease and affects the base of the root trunk of a tooth where two or more roots meet. The specific extent and configuration of the defect are factors in determining both the diagnosis and treatment planning.
What does Pulp cap indirect mean?
An indirect pulp cap is a procedure that protects a compromised tooth without exposed pulp. It may help you avoid more invasive procedures like tooth extraction or a root canal. It retains the tooth and allows its roots to continue developing.
What is treatment of furcation?
Treatment options for molars with furcation involvement could be divided into three different modalities: conservative procedures, regenerative procedures, and resective procedures.
What is zipping in endodontics?
[5] Zipping is caused by using progressively larger and stiffer files to working length. It can result in a poorly cleaned root canal, which fails to provide a resistance form to compact gutta percha, and leads to obturation which is vertically overextended but internally under-filled.
What is a bicuspidization procedure?
Bicuspidization is a surgical procedure performed on the mandibular molars for the separation of the mesial and distal roots with their respective crown portions; this separation eliminates the existence of a furcation and facilitates effective oral hygiene practice.
Can a Grade III furcation-involved molar be treated by bicuspidisation?
This case report aims at highlighting the conservative management of a grade III furcation-involved molar by bicuspidisation procedure and use of the treated tooth as an abutment for fixed prosthesis. Keywords: Furcation defects, Oral surgical procedures, Preprosthetic, mandibular molar, bicuspidisation
Can Biodentine be used as an apical barrier matrix?
This case reports present apexification and successful healing with the use of Biodentine as an apical barrier matrix. Biodentine is new calcium silicate based cement that exhibits physical and chemical properties similar to those described for certain Portland cement derivatives.
