Rescuing Tooth with Regenerative Technique: A Case Report
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
A 29‑year‑old patient with complete denudation of buccal root of tooth no. 14 was referred from the Department of Oral Surgery for opinion, as he was not willing for extraction. Patient’s persistent urge to save the tooth, put forth a challenge, which motivated us to tweak the established techniques. The unusual presentation of the case and unexpected condition of the surgical site required out‑of‑box measures to deal with the situation. Though, the tooth no. 14 was having Grade‑I mobility, it was endodontically treated, buccal root was resected, nanohydroxyapatite graft, platelet rich fibrin, and free gingival graft was applied over the deficient ridge to cover the surgical site. Tooth survived, mobility reduced and complete root coverage procedure with soft tissue was observed at 3 months and 6 months interval. Hence this case report describes, with tangible results using combined interdisciplinary approach involving sophisticated perioplastic surgical technique, root resection and endodontics to salvage a maxillary 1st premolar recession defect with furcation involvement.
