Horizontal root fractures are defined as those that involve cementum, dentin and pulp, comprising from 0.5 to 7% of injuries in permanent dentition on dental trauma. Diagnosis is made through clinical findings and radiographic exams, the latter frequently being limited by the position of the fracture line. Treatment varies according to the displacement of crown portion and vitality of the fragments. Authors describe clinical cases of maxillary right central incisor with horizontal root fractures in dental clinic, Jeju National University Hospital.

Invasive cervical resorption is a relatively uncommon form of external root resorption. It is characterized by invasion of cervical region of the root by fibrovascular tissue derived from the periodontal ligament. This case presents an invasive cervical resorption occurring in maxillary lateral incisor, following damage in cervical cementum from avulsion and intracoronal bleaching procedure. Flap reflection, debridement and restoration with glass ionomer cement were performed in an attempt to repair the defect. But after 2 mon, more resorption extended apically. Considering root stability and recurrence potential, we decided to extract the tooth. Invasive cervical resorption in advanced stages may present great challenges for clinicians. Therefore, prevention and early detection must be stressed when dealing with patients presenting history of potential predisposing factors.

This study aimed to compare the efficiency of propylene glycol (PG) and distilled water (DW) as vehicles that would allow diffusion of dye through the root canal system. Human maxillary central incisors were chosen and de-crowned. After enlarging the upper part of the root canal with a Peeso reamer, cementum covering the upper third of the root was removed. The roots were ultrasonically irrigated with 5% NaOCI to remove smear layer.(omitted)

The most desirable healing process for endodontic therapy is apical closure by hard tissue such as dentine or cementum. Then, we estimated hard tissue conductivity of tetracalcium phosphate (4CP)/dicalcium phosphate (2CP) compound using mandibular first molars of SD rats. Residual pulp responses to the calcium phosphate compound were examined at several amputation levels of pulp. 2CP was purchased and passed through a $32-\mu\textrm{m}$ sieve. 4CP was obtained from a stoichiometric mixture of 2CP and calcium carbonate (Mol ratio: Ca/P=2.0) by the dry synthetic method at 1, 400(C for 8 hours.(omitted)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of concentration and pH of lactic acid on the formation of artificial root caries lesions formation in bovine teeth. The characterictics of artificially produced early root lesions were observed with polarized light microscope and the depth of lesions were mearsured with measuring microscope The results were as follows: 1. In the group of low pH and high concentration of lactic acid, the progress of lesion formation was faster than that of high pH and low concentration lactic acid group. 2. In the same group, initial lesion progress faster, but progression rate was reduced as time goes by. 3. In the development of initial root caries, cementum was act as a barrier to protect dentin from lesion progression.

Cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD) is a benign fibro-osseous lesion of bone, in which normal bone is replaced by fibrous tissue, followed by calcification with osseous and cementum-like tissue. COD is classified into 3 categories according to its location: periapical, focal, and florid COD (FCOD). On radiography, FCOD appears radiolucent in its early stages. As it matures, radiopacities appear within the lesion, causing them to show a mixed appearance of radiolucency and radiopacity. Because FCOD is usually asymptomatic and grows in a self-limited manner, it does not require treatment. Secondary infection is the most frequent cause of symptomatic cases. We report a case of FCOD with symptoms that appeared after a dental restoration procedure and persisted after repeated operations. The purpose of this report is to emphasize the importance of thorough radiological evaluations of patients with FCOD before treatment.

This case was diagnosed as multiple cementoosseous dysplasia on the basis of clinical & radiological features but was diagnosed as ossifying fibroma on the basis of histopathological feature. The histopathologic features of the multiple cementoosseous dysplasia and cementoossifying fibroma have common features of cementum, fibrous network and bone. Multiple cementoosseous dysplasia is reactive lesion and shows restricted lesion size, occurred on anterior and posterior tooth of the mandible and needs no treatement except periodic follow up. But Cementoossifying fibroma is the true neoplasm and grows continuously and needs surgical removal. The final diagnosis of the multiple cementoosseous dysplasia requires good correlation of the clinical, histopathological, and radiological features.

Familial gigantiform cementoma is a rare fibre-cemento-osseous disease of the jaws which appears to be transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait with variable expressivity of the phenotype. A 7-year-old girl visited DKUDH complaining of the painless facial deformity. Clinically, significant facio-lingual expansion was observed at the left maxilla, left mandibular body and symphysis portion. Malposition of lower anterior teeth was found. Panoramic radiograph and CT scan showed the extensive expansile mixed lesion at maxilla and mandible. Bone scan revealed hot spot at the maxilla and left side of mandible. Histologic examination revealed moderately dense fibrous connective tissue with scattered masses resembling cementum. The patient's mother had a history of the mandibular resection due to benign tumor. Her younger brother had buccal expansion of right mandible. We report our finding of a family that has exhibited clinical, radiographic and histologic findings consistent with the familial gigantiform cementoma.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is an autosomal dominant hereditary disorder of connective tissue, while familial gigantiform cementoma is a condition that usually manifests as multiple radiopaque cementum-like masses throughout the jaws. This case report discusses the oral management and prosthetic rehabilitation of two patients presenting familial gigantiform cementoma with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

Teeth are made up of three hard tissues, enamel, dentin, and cementum. The dental pulp is the only non-mineralized connective tooth tissue that is surrounded by dentin. The dentin-pulp complex is able to respond to injury by producing hard tissue deposition. However, dentin is considered one of the most difficult tissues to regenerate because of its unique anatomic and physiologic nature. Recently, advances in understanding the applicability of bio-active dentin regenerating proteins are emerging with the development of biological-based therapies using bio-active materials. Dentin defects were regenerated by the deposition of tubular physiologic dentin after application of the bio-active protein in a beagle dog model. Therefore, the bio-active protein may be able to serve as a novel dentin regenerating material and improve symptoms of dentin hypersensitivity.
