Anterior tooth injuries are challenging because they may require emergency care, and these patients are apprehensive due to the impaired function, aesthetics and phonetics. While crown fractures occur at the highest percentage of all traumatic injuries to the permanent dentition, crown-root fractures represent only 5%.[1,2] A crown-root fracture usually results in the loss of the tooth crown below the gingival margin, which can cause many problems with regard to endodontic isolation, periodontal maintenance and restoration. When the fracture line extends below the marginal bone level, several treatment options are available, including a mucogingival flap and reattachment of the original fragment,[3] surgical extrusion,[4] orthodontic extrusion[5] and intentional replantation.[6] The treatment approach depends primarily A crown-root fracture usually results in the loss of the tooth crown below the gingival margin, and this can create many problems during treatment. This case report presents the management of a complicated crown-root fracture using a multidisciplinary approach including surgical extrusion for crown lengthening, endodontic treatment and a composite restoration. A 23-year-old male patient presented to the Clinic of Endodontics with a complicated crown-root fracture of right maxillary lateral incisor. The intraoral periapical radiographic examination showed coronal tooth loss, the presence of three oblique crown-root fractures and a periapical lesion. Initially, the root canal was prepared, cleaned and temporarily filled with calcium hydroxide; then, the fractures were fixed using composite resin. At the next appointment, a surgical extrusion was performed, and the teeth were splinted with Ribbond bondable reinforcement ribbon. The splint was removed after 8 weeks, and the root canal was obturated. Finally, the tooth was restored using a fibre post-core system and composite resin. After 7 years of follow-up examinations, there were no radiographic or clinical signs of ankylosis, marginal bone loss or periapical disease. Moreover, satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes were observed.","PeriodicalId":331939,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Endodontic Journal","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115080307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of the present study was to establish the level of knowledge of dentists in the city of Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire regarding mechanized techniques and the frequency of use. Methods: A survey was conducted among 145 practitioners over a period of 3 months. Data collected included the length of time in the profession, the type of practice, the frequency of RCT performed, and the mechanical systems used. A descriptive analysis was performed based on the calculation of numbers and percentages. Results: The majority of dentists (66%) had been engaged in the profession for >10 years. More than half of the surveyed practitioners performed 5 RCTs/week on average. While 73% of the dentists were aware of the existence of mechanical preparation, only 22% used it. The HERO system (Micro-mega, Besancon, France) was the most commonly used (40%), followed by the ProTaper system (Dentsply-Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) (24%), and the Coronal Median Apical system (CFPM, Tremblay-en-France, France) (16%). Conclusion: The present study revealed that practitioners trained in the past 10 years were more knowledgeable of mechanized canal preparation using continuous rotation, but very few of them used nickel-titanium files in practice.","PeriodicalId":331939,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Endodontic Journal","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122319033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
