Taurodontism is characterized by teeth with enlarged and elongated pulp chambers and apical displacement of the bifurcation or trifurcation of roots. This anomaly occurs either as an isolated, singular trait or in association with syndromes and with some ectodermal anomalies. The aim of this review is to address the etiology, radiographic features and clinical considerations in the treatment of such teeth. It can be seen that taurodontism has until now received insufficient attention from clinicians.
MANAGEMENT OF OPEN APEX IN PERMANENT TEETH WITH CALCIUM HYDROXIDE PASTEAbu-Hussein Muhamad
Calcium hydroxide is a multi purpose agent, and there have been an increasing number of indications for its use in endodontics. Some of its indications include inter-appointment intracanal medicaments, endodontic sealers, pulp capping agents, apexification, pulpotomy and weeping canals. The aim of this study was to report the 10 year follow-up data of an apexification treatment applied to a permanent incisor of a young patient treated with calcium hydroxide.
