Hemisection Case Study

1782 Words8 Pages

ABSTRACT
Infections of periodontal or endodontic origin may result in increased periodontal probing depths with attachment loss adjacent to the root surface, bleeding on probing, suppuration, swelling of the gingiva ,tooth mobility, angular bone loss and pain on percussion. These signs and symptoms may be caused by plaque-associated periodontitis which begins at the margin of the gingiva and proceeds apically or by endodontic infections that enter the periodontal ligament at the apical foramen or through lateral or accessory canals and proceed coronally. The loss of posterior molars as a result of periodontal or endodontic infection leads to migration of teeth, collapse of the arch, supra eruption of opposing teeth, loss of supporting …show more content…

Hemisection refers to the sectioning of mandibular molar into two halves followed by removal or separation of diseased root with its accompanying crown portion.1 The procedure of hemisection represents a form of conservative management to retain maximum tooth structure as possible.2
Hemisection of either a maxillary or mandibular molar is often a means of retaining teeth needed for restorative abutments or occlusal support. This treatment can produce predictable results as long as proper case selection is followed by interdisciplinary approach with endodontic, surgical and prosthetic procedures.3. The results are durable, and success rates are high if certain basic considerations are taken into account. Periodontal, prosthodontic and endodontic assessment for appropriate selection of cases is important. In periodontics this procedure is indicated in class II furcation involvement and if there is considerable bone available to one …show more content…

Hemisection is one of the treatment options for preserving remaining part of molar having sound periodontium. The prognosis for hemisection is similar to routine endodontic procedures provided that case selection has been performed correctly and the restoration is of an acceptable design relative to the occlusal and periodontal needs of the patient as it was in this case. Thus, present case report demonstrates the successful management of hemisection of 36 with occlusal rehabilitation with fixed partial

    Chronic periodontitis Chronic Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the supporting tissues of the teeth caused by specific microorganisms or groups of specific microorganisms, leading to progressive destruction of the attachment apparatus of the teeth including periodontal ligament, cementum and alveolar bone with periodontal pocket formation, and recession of the gingival tissue(1) . The clinical feature that characterizes periodontitis from gingivitis is the presence of clinically apparent attachment loss. This loss mainly is associated with changes in the density and height of subjacent alveolar bone (1). Severe generalized periodontitis affects 5–15% of any population worldwide and is a major cause of teeth loss after dental caries (2). Chronic Periodontitis also known as adult periodontitis or chronic adult

    Periodontal disease destructs the tissues the form around the teeth, including the gums, periodontal ligaments, and tooth sockets. A patient may notice bleeding, tender, and/or swollen gums, mouth sores, shiny appearance to the gums, or in some cases, hypertrophic gingivitis. If gingivitis isn’t taken care of in its early stages, it can result in an infection of the gums or jaw bones or in some cases, trench mouth. Trench mouth is a form of gingivitis that results when there are copious amounts of normal bacteria in the mouth. The gums become infected and form painful ulcers and gingivalgia.

    Periodontal diseases:- Periodontitis is a chronic multifactorial inflammatory disorder induced by microorganisms and defined by progressive damage of the tooth supporting tissues leading to tooth loss. This is to be recognized from gingivitis which is a reversible inflammatory reaction. Periodontitis is a main public health dilemma because it is common, it decrease quality of life, it decrease chewing purpose and hurt aesthetics, and finally results in tooth loss and disability. Periodontitis starts with a microbial contagion, accompany by a host-mediated damage of soft tissue induce by hyperactivated or primed leukocytes and the production of cytokines, eicosanoids, and matrix metalloproteinases that induce clinically notable connective tissue and bone damage. Bacterial collection on the teeth is necessary to the induction and progress of periodontitis.

    Periodontal surgery, also known as gum surgery, only occurs when a patient is suffering from a condition such as periodontal disease. The gums of the mouth are the connective tissues that hold the teeth in place. This form of surgery and the associated ailments can also affect the bones within the mouth, in extreme cases. As plaque develops in the mouth and rests on the tooth where the gum line starts, that plaque can work its way below the gum line. Not only does this cause cavities and tooth decay, it also causes an unhealthy erosion of the gums.

    Occlusion: Occlusion can be defined very simply:”it means the contact between teeth”. the concept can be further refined by defining those contacts between the teeth when the mandible is closed and stationary as the static occlusion, and those contacts between teeth when the mandible is moving relative to the maxilla as the dynamic occlusion. [1] • there are few terms in occlusion which needs to be explained in ordr to understand occlusion in detail. • Static Occlusion: static occlusion is the contact of upper and lower dentition when mandible is not moving. • Centric occlusion (CO): can be described as the occlusion the patient makes when they fit their teeth together in maximum intercuspation.
