Abstract |
Root perforations that result in a communication of the root space with the periodontal tissues occasionally occur during endodontic procedures. They may be induced iatrogenically. Successful treatment depends mainly on immediate sealing of the perforation and prevention of infection. Several factors affect the achievement of these goals, most important of which are time of occurrence, size and location of the perforation. Identification of root perforations is possible by direct observation of bleeding, radiography and an apex locator. Perforation defects may be repaired by nonsurgical or surgical techniques. We report two cases of root perforation. One was treated by glass ionomer, other was treated by composite resin with calcium hydroxide. |
