Abstract:
Following traumatic injury, pulpal and periapical pathosis in an immature anterior tooth is common, and treating open apices in these situations is a persistent problem for pedodontists. This is because there is no apical constriction, which would prevent the obturated material from forming an excellent three-dimensional seal or adaption within the canal system. Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) offers a good choice when employed to create an apical barrier. In this case report, an open apex and periapical lesion involving maxillary right central incisor #21 with the MTA are shown with a six-week follow-up result after being treated for four weeks with triple antibiotic paste as an intra-canal medication. The successful healing of tooth 21 and the diminution of the periapical radiolucency at one-week follow-up were observed.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
Tooth Anatomy
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...
Teeth
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...
