Resumos

Vertical Root Fracture: an Unpredictable Factor in Endodontics and Restorative Dentistry

Vertical root fractures (VRF) are difficult to predict and often misdiagnosed. Understanding their clinical features and bio-mechanics may result in a rational for procedures that will reduce their risk and consequential damage.

Recent surveys on the clinical and radiographic manifestations of vertical root fractures will be reviewed, aiming at improving the non-surgical diagnostic ability of the operator.  The author's current studies on radicular dentin deformation during lateral condensation, which may shed new light on the bio-mechanics of VRF and provide further clues towards their prevention, will be presented and discussed. (Presented in a 45 min version in AAE meeting in Honolulu).

APEXUM: An innovative approach for enhancement of healing-kinetics of periapical lesions

For many decades the only approach for treatment of apical periodontitis was cleaning, shaping, disinfection and obturation of the root canal. Healing was left to take its own course, which often took extremely long time. While satisfactory for the endodontists, the referring dentist would be highly interested in enhancement of healing kinetics. He would like to know, as soon as possible, the future of a given tooth and its potential use in his planned oral rehabilitation.
Apical surgery is commonly used to treat cases which failed to heal after the conventional treatment.  Healing kinetics of the lesion in these cases is much faster.

The new APEXUM approach adds a supplementary step to treatment protocols of periapical lesions: once the root canal is ready to be filled the periapical inflammatory tissue is removed by a micro-invasive approach, through the root canal.  The newly formed blood clot organizes and allows faster healing, as common after apical surgery.  It provides healing kinetics similar to post-surgery, but with no scalpel and sutures involved.
Animal studies were completed with favorable results.  International multi-center clinical trials are currently in progress.
