Management of a Case of a Large Perforation Repair With Biodentine.

Perforations, which are artificial contact connections among teeth and supporting tissues, have a substantial impact on the success of root canal therapy, whether caused by iatrogenic or pathological causes. This case report describes a 51-year-old female who had intermittent jaw pain that was diagnosed as perforation and was successfully controlled with endodontic intervention following a referral due to procedural problems. The perforation in the furcation zone of a molar was treated with biodentine, demonstrating its sealing, biocompatibility, and tissue restoration properties. The discussion emphasizes the necessity of choosing the right repair materials and techniques based on perforation size and location. Biodentine emerges as a viable option due to its capacity to form a dependable seal in demanding settings.  The study concluded by emphasizing the need for physician competence, tooth morphology understanding, and operative proficiency in preventing and properly treating perforations for the best treatment outcomes.

Platelet Power: Revitalizing Endodontics With Scaffolds.

This article provides an overview of a biologically based method for restoring damaged tooth structures and pulp tissues known as regenerative endodontics. It explores the concept of regenerative endodontics, its tissue engineering approach, and its application in maintaining vitality. The article discusses the significance of the factors affecting growth, scaffolds, and stem cells being the three tissue engineering components involved in the regeneration of pulp tissues. It also delves into the classification of scaffolds and the role of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as biological scaffolds. The methodology section details the search process for relevant studies, and the review section presents research findings associated with PRF and its application in regeneration and repair of tissue. The article concludes by highlighting the potential of advanced PRF and injectable PRF in regenerative endodontics, with a focus on their impact on tissue regeneration and healing.

From Crisis to Victory: Rescuing Root Canal Treatment With Bioactive Material in a Nail-Biting Case of Furcal Perforation.

This case report illustrates the successful treatment of an iatrogenic furcal perforation using mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and its reinforcement with fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs). Endodontic perforations, particularly in the furcal area, present unique challenges that demand effective management strategies. MTA, known for its multifaceted properties including osteoinductive activity and sealing capabilities, has emerged as the gold standard material for perforation repair. This case report demonstrates the application of MTA in repairing the perforation site following thorough cleaning and shaping of the root canals. Furthermore, the use of FRCs, specifically glass fiber-reinforced composite (GFRC), is introduced to reinforce the repaired site, enhancing its mechanical properties and long-term stability. The discussion emphasizes the importance of selecting appropriate materials for endodontic perforation repair and highlights the advantages of FRCs in preventing structural failures. Future directions suggest further research to refine FRC formulations and standardize clinical protocols to maximize treatment outcomes. This case report contributes valuable insights to the advancement of endodontic therapy, showcasing the combined benefits of MTA and FRCs in achieving favorable treatment outcomes for iatrogenic furcal perforations.
