Abstract
Pulp canal calcification (PCC) is common in patients with dentinogenesis imperfecta (DGI). We present endodontic management of multiple anterior and posterior teeth with PCCs in a patient with DGI type II using guided endodontics. A 26-year-old female patient was diagnosed with DGI type II. Clinical examination revealed palatal cusp fracture in tooth #13, microcracks in tooth #14, and a sinus tract in the maxillary right buccal vestibule related to tooth #13. Periapical radiographs revealed PCCs in all teeth, and periapical radiolucencies in several teeth. Due to difficult negotiation of canal orifices, guided endodontic approach was planned. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was requested and obtained. Intraoral scanning was performed, and CBCT and intraoral scanning data were superimposed. A template was designed and 3D printed. The root canal orifices were successfully negotiated and endodontic treatments were successfully accomplished. At the 1-year follow-up, the endodontically treated teeth were asymptomatic, and periapical lesions were healing.
期刊介绍:
The Iranian Endodontic Journal (IEJ) is an international peer-reviewed biomedical publication, the aim of which is to provide a scientific medium of communication for researchers throughout the globe. IEJ aims to publish the highest quality articles, both clinical and scientific, on all aspects of Endodontics. The journal is an official Journal of the Iranian Center for Endodontic Research (ICER) and the Iranian Association of Endodontists (IAE). The Journal welcomes articles related to the scientific or applied aspects of endodontics e.g. original researches, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, review articles, clinical trials, case series/reports, hypotheses, letters to the editor, etc. From the beginning (i.e. since 2006), the IEJ was the first open access endodontic journal in the world, which gave readers free and instant access to published articles and enabling them faster discovery of the latest endodontic research.
