Aim: To evaluate the radiographical success of Regenerative endodontics procedure in permanent immature teeth with necrotic pulp. Methods: This Descriptive case series was conducted at the Department of Operative Dentistry, de’Montmorency College of Dentistry/ Punjab Dental Hospital, Lahore from November 2015 to November 2016. A total of 30 cases were included using non-probability consecutive sampling. Patients of both genders with age range from 9 to 14 years were considered. Performance of procedure and evaluation of success was done in terms of root development on periapical radiographs. . Data was entered and analysed with IBM SPSS 20. Level of significance was kept at p-value ≤ 0.05 Results: Out of 30 patients, 13 were females and 17 were males. Mean age of patients included in this study was 11.5±1.737. Follow up at 12 months showed 90% success, with 27 cases showed root development on periapical radiograph. There was no significant relation of success with age and gender of patient with p- value greater than 0.05. Conclusion: It is concluded from current study that Regenerative Endodontics procedure in permanent immature teeth is encouraging and can be recommended for the treatment of permanent immature teeth with necrotic pulp. Further research studies are required for evaluation of root development in regenerative endodontics procedure. Key words: Regenerative Endodontics, Permanent Immature teeth, Root development
Objective: To determine the effectiveness of resin infiltration technique in arresting superficial proximal carious lesions of posterior teeth. Study Design: Quasi experimental study. Place and Duration of Study: Operative dentistry department, de’ Montmorency College of Dentistry Lahore, from Oct 2018 to Mar 2019. Methodology: Meeting inclusion criteria were selected. Informed consent was obtained. After application of rubber dam; etchant gel was applied to superficial proximal carious lesions in these patients; water-rinsed and air-dried for 30 sec; resin was then infiltrated into each lesion. Patients were recalled after 6 months for follow up. Results: Total patients were 30 out of which 18 (60%) were males and 12 (40%) were females. Mean age of patients was 25.77 years ranging from 16-35 years. Success of resin infiltration technique in superficial proximal carious lesions in posterior teeth was 86.7% measured by bitewing radiograph taken on follow up after 6 months to see any progression of carious lesion. Conclusion: Resin infiltration was effective in 86.7% patients in arresting progress of superficial proximal carious lesions with no significant difference for age and gender. Hence it is suggested that resin infiltration being promising micro invasive approach should be considered in addition to non-operative and operative treatment approaches.
Objective: To evaluate the success of veneers fabricated with indirect resin composite (Ceramage). Method: This Descriptive Case Series was completed at de’ Montmorency college of dentistry/Punjab Dental Hospital, Lahore over the period of 6 months from Jul 2018 to Jan 2019. Patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria of the study were selected. After the informed consent, pre-operative radiographs of the teeth to be veneered were taken to rule out any caries activity or periapical pathology. A total of 60 veneers were fabricated with indirect resin composite. Patients were followed up with 6 months interval and restorations were evaluated for complications like dislodgment, chipping, fracture, sensitivity and bleeding from gums. Results: Out of total of 60 veneers 50 were successful and 10 were unsuccessful. only 4 showed slight postoperative sensitivity,4 showed moderate postoperative sensitivity and 2 showed severe postoperative sensitivity.out of total 5 showed minor crack lines,3 showed minor chipping (1/4 of the restoration) and 2 showed moderate chipping (1/2 of restoration). Success rate of veneers fabricated with indirect resin composite (Ceramage) was 83.3%. Conclusions: The indirect veneers have undergone considerable improvement and refinement over the past few decades and have now matured into a predictable restorative concept in terms of longevity, periodontal response and patient satisfaction. The design of the restoration should take the material properties into account in order to enhance the clinical performance. Key words: Indirect Resin Composite, Veneers, Smile makeover
