Abstract
Introduction
The aim of this prospective study was to investigate the 1-year pulp survival of cracked teeth with reversible pulpitis managed with initial stabilization using orthodontic bands, followed by coronal coverage restorations.
Methods
One-hundred-and-twenty-five patients with a cracked tooth with reversible pulpitis each were recruited. Preoperative patient and tooth data were collected. After definitive pulp diagnoses were determined following an interim period of orthodontic banding, coronal coverage restorations were placed. Cox and logistic regression analyses were used to assess possible prognostic factors and to correlate initial time to pulp stabilization while in orthodontic bands with eventual outcome. Pulp survival was determined using both clinical and radiographic findings.
Results
One-hundred-and-six cracked teeth were followed up at 1 year. Pulp survival based on clinical and radiographic findings was found in 81 teeth (76.4%). Out of 25 failures, 11 (44%) required root canal treatment (RCT) in the orthodontic band stage and 10 (40%) required RCT during the process of or after coronal coverage restorations. Four teeth (16%) had incidental findings of periapical radiolucencies at the 1-year review without clinical symptoms. Teeth requiring RCT were found to have required longer periods in orthodontic bands prior to a definitive pulp diagnosis (P < .05).
Conclusion
A step-by-step approach by using orthodontic banding to monitor pulp status may reduce the incidence of RCT required through definitive coronal coverage restorations for cracked teeth with reversible pulpitis.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Endodontics, the official journal of the American Association of Endodontists, publishes scientific articles, case reports and comparison studies evaluating materials and methods of pulp conservation and endodontic treatment. Endodontists and general dentists can learn about new concepts in root canal treatment and the latest advances in techniques and instrumentation in the one journal that helps them keep pace with rapid changes in this field.
