Immediate implant placement for the treatment of a root-fractured tooth: Case report

The use of osseointegrated implants has become an important alternative treatment approach in the rehabilitation of totally or partially edentulous patients. The classic protocol recommended to wait several months following extraction for the placement of implants. However,   the   refinement   of   surgical   techniques   and   implant   surfaces   has   allowed   for   the development of immediate post-extraction implant placement procedures. The immediate loading protocol contributes not only to decrease treatment time but also minimize the amount bone resorption. Additional advantages include easier determination of implant position, improved post-­operative  healing  in  extraction  sockets,  and  increased  patient  acceptance.  The  objective  of the present study was to describe the extraction and immediate loading of a mandibular right central incisor following a diagnosis of root fracture. Our report showed that the results obtained with immediate implant placement are feasible and predictable, and that the use of one-stage procedures results in increased patient satisfaction

Tratamento cirúrgico radical de terceiro e quarto molares fusionados: Relato de caso

The fusing between a normal dental element and a supernumerary one presents different ways of treatment. In regions where the esthetics is not essential, the exodontia of the fused elements generally is the treatment of election. The objective of this study is to tell the clinical characteristics, implications and fused teeth treatments, as well as, to report a clinical case where the fused teeth oral surgery of the third molar one fused with a fourth molar tooth in the region of tooth 48 was carried through.A fusão entre um elemento dentário normal e um supranumerário apresenta diferentes modalidades de tratamento.
