Endodontic Management of Maxillary Central Incisor with apical calcification

16.03.2021 By Resonant Link

 

Traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) occur frequently in children and young adults, comprising 5% of all injuries. Twenty‐five percent of all school children experience dental trauma and 33% of adults have experienced trauma to the permanent dentition, with the majority of the injuries occurring before age 19. Luxation injuries are the most common TDIs in the primary dentition, whereas crown fractures are more commonly reported for the permanent teeth. Proper diagnosis, treatment planning and follow up are important to assure a favorable outcome.

Fig.1 

A 34-year-old female patient presented in our private endodontic office for evaluation of tooth 21, which had a dental trauma 5 years ago. 

His health history was unremarkable and radiographic examination revealed a lateral lesion and a calcified canal in the apical third.

Clinical examination :
Negative vitality
Positive percussion
Positive palpation

The diagnosis was apical periodontitis, after discussing treatment options, we decided on an endodontic treatment. The patient was informed of the pros and cons of the treatment and informed consent was obtained.

The first step of a good endodontic treatment is to perform a correct field isolation.

 

       

We made the access cavity with an EndoAcces bur and redefined it with ultrasonic tips
