External apical root resorption in maxillary root-filled incisors after orthodontic treatment : a split-mouth design study
2011
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare, in a split mouth design, the external apical root resorption (EARR) associated with orthodontic treatment in root-filled maxillary incisors and their contralateral teeth with vital pulps. Methodology: The study sample consisted of 38 patients (14 males and 24 females), who had one root-filled incisor before completion of multiband/bracket orthodontic therapy for at least 1 year. For each patient, digital panoramic radiographs taken before and after orthodontic treatment were used to determine the root resortion and the proportion of external root resorption (PRR), defined as the ratio between the root resorption in the endodontically t…
Konfokale Laser-Scanning-Mikroskopie (CLSM): Histotomographie veränderter Zahnhartgewebe bei pathologischer Mundhöhlenökologie
1997
There is no consensus regarding the aetiology of radiation-induced caries. Lesion formation is assumed to originate either from direct radiogenic damage of the hard tissue or from the indirect effects correlated with radioxerostomia. A comparative study is presented of sound teeth (group 1), teeth with documented radiation caries (group 2), teeth after in situ radiation (group 3): 60 Gy, fractionated) and teeth after in vitro radiation (group 4: 500-2500 Gy). Radiations were carried out with a 60Co source. The dentoenamel junction was studied with confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Axial sections of the teeth were used either fresh or embedded in Technovit (sawing-grinding technique…
