Invasive cervical resorption is a relatively uncommon form of external root resorption. It is characterized by invasion of cervical region of the root by fibrovascular tissue derived from the periodontal ligament. This case presents an invasive cervical resorption occurring in maxillary lateral incisor, following damage in cervical cementum from avulsion and intracoronal bleaching procedure. Flap reflection, debridement and restoration with glass ionomer cement were performed in an attempt to repair the defect. But after 2 mon, more resorption extended apically. Considering root stability and recurrence potential, we decided to extract the tooth. Invasive cervical resorption in advanced stages may present great challenges for clinicians. Therefore, prevention and early detection must be stressed when dealing with patients presenting history of potential predisposing factors.

Re-establishment of occlusion after unilateral condylar fracture
Yookyung Kim, Sung-Ho Park, Byoung-Duck Roh
Restor Dent Endod 2012;37(2):110-113.   Published online May 18, 2012

AbstractAbstract PDFPubReaderePub

Complications resulting from condylar fracture include occlusal disturbance due to loss of leverage from temporomandibular joint (TMJ). In general, closed reduction with active physical training has been performed, and under favorable circumstances, adaptation occurs in attempt to restore the articulation. The patient in this case report had unilateral condylar fracture accompanied with multiple teeth injuries, but he was left without any dental treatment for 1 mon which led to unrestorable occlusal collapse. Fortunately, delayed surgical repositioning of dislocated maxillary anterior teeth followed by consistent long-term physical training has been proved successful. Normal occlusion and satisfactory remodeling of condyle were obtained on 10 mon follow-up.
