Summary
A novel calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement effectively repaired a furcal perforation in a mandibular molar. This treatment led to complete healing of the lesion and preservation of the tooth after 24 months.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Endodontics
- Dental Materials Science
Background:
- Furcal perforations are challenging complications in endodontic therapy.
- Management of furcal perforations requires materials with excellent sealing and biocompatibility properties.
Observation:
- A case of furcal perforation in a mandibular first molar with an associated furcal lesion was treated.
- Root canal treatment was completed, followed by repair of the perforation using calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement.
- The tooth was restored with amalgam and monitored for 24 months.
Findings:
- The CEM cement successfully sealed the furcal perforation.
- Complete healing of the furcal lesion was observed.
- No signs of periodontal breakdown or symptoms were present at the 24-month follow-up.
Implications:
- Calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement shows promise as a suitable material for repairing furcal perforations.
- This case report supports the use of CEM cement in endodontic regenerative procedures.
- Further research into CEM cement for perforation repair is warranted.
