Open proximal contact associated with a cast restoration--progressive bone loss: a case report
1Department of Prosthodontics, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston 29425-2603, USA.
Abstract:
A patient presented with early to moderate periodontitis localized around tooth No. 30. This tooth had a cast restoration with an open proximal contact for the previous seven years. Radiographs spanning this time period showed progressive bone loss. Surgical periodontal therapy was performed after correction of the open proximal contact with a provisional restoration. A new porcelain-fused-to-metal crown was placed three months after surgical therapy. The patients has been on a regular six-month recall schedule for three years and has maintained a healthy periodontium. Prior food impaction has been eliminated and the patient is without complaints.

01:27Fractures: 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 procedure...
01:29Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
