The purpose of this study is to investigate the most commonly extracted teeth, leading to single edentulous spaces. The data were gathered from a private dental clinic in Bucharest, during a six years period, starting in 2005. Methods. The study included 100 patients, 38 men and 62 women, aged between 19 and 74 years. Data were registered about age, gender, type of extracted tooth and restoration of the edentulous spaces in two situations: at the first visit of the patients in the dental clinic and at the end of the treatment. The patients were divided into 5 groups according to their age. For data analyses were used EPI Info programs and Microsoft Excel. The study was conducted over a period of 6 years (2005-2011). Results and discussions. During the period of the study it was found that the patients showed 188 single edentulous spaces. The results showed that the teeth most frequently extracted were represented by first lower molars, followed by first upper molars. In descending order they were followed by upper premolars, maxilar incisives, lower premolars, mandibular incisives, canines and second upper molars, while second lower molars have registered a rate of 1%. Mandibular canines were present at every patient. The study is relevant statistically, p<0.05. Conclusions. Frequent loss of both lower and upper first molars may be due to early eruption of these teeth, so it is mandatory to give a special attention in order to prevent the loss of these teeth.

Introduction. Dental implants are the result of science, modern technology and team work. The aim of this study was to investigate the addressability of implant-prosthetic treatment among practitioners working in urban environment. Material and method. The study was designed for dentists from private practices in Bucharest using a 14 point questionnaire relating implant-prosthetic treatment. The data were analyzed using IBM – SPSS Statistics 20. Results. Implant addressability is high in urban areas. The patients require implant-prosthetic restorations especially in the lateral side of the dental arch for functional reasons. Our data show that patients aren't especially interested in the medical degree of the dentist when they ask for this kind of treatment. The insertion of the implants and the prosthetic restoration by two different dentists is more frequent in the group of dentists with 1-10 years of practice. Most of the dentists from our study are using implants from less than 5 years and also ask for a specialist for their insertion. In our study there is no correlation between the number of the implants applied on half of an arch and the professional experience. Conclusion. Our study shows that the implant-prosthetic treatment reached in last 5 years a large addressability in the urban environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction. Partial dentures with attachments are far superior to the acrylic ones regarding anchorage, support, stability, maintaining tissue health and comfort. The aim of this study is to investigate the frequency of partial dentures used for the partially edentulous patients' treatment in general and the frequency of partial dentures with attachments, in particular. Material and method. The study was designed for dentists from private practices in Bucharest, using a seven point questionnaire relating to treatment by partial dentures, especially the ones with attachments. Questions were asked about doctor's age, number of years of practice, the average number of partial denture made on a year, the main desire of patients, the time allotted for the dentures with attachments in relation with the price, assessment of the difficulty in achieving the denture, the type of attachment usually used. The data were analyzed using SPSS statistical analysis program for IBM software. Results and discussion. The average age of the respondents to the questionnaires is 41 years old, the average number of years of practice being 16 years. Almost a third of physicians considered as difficult the partial dentures with attachments, more than half as of medium difficulty, despite the fact that more of 79,4 % of them have experience in dental practice more than 7 years. The ball attachment is most used by the vast majority of physicians, while magnets are least used. Conclusion. Prosthetic rehabilitation through partial dentures with attachments is a high-precision treatment which requires a high and rigorous training from both the dentist and the dental technician and also a good standard of dental laboratory.

In medical practice, clinicians come across an increased number of endodontic treatments, which, like other dental treatments, can fail. The increase in the number of endodontic treatment resulted in an increased number of failures, their management raising complex and serious endodontic problems. The endodontic retreatment of a failure is required by the increased desire to preserve the tooth on the dental arch, thus preventing the need for dental extraction that may have adverse consequences in terms of functional and psychological effect on patients. This article presents two clinical cases that required endodontic retreatment in order to avoid the complications that could ultimately require tooth extraction. The teeth in question (a mandibular first molar and an upper central incisor) having a special importance, and a physiognomic role, the endodontic retreatment consisted in covering them in porcelain fused to the metal crowns.

Human mandibular canines do not present an internal anatomy as simple as could be expected; there are such canines with a single root and two canals, two roots or fused roots. The existence of mandibular canines with more than one root canal is a fact that clinicians ought to keep in mind, in order to avoid failure during endodontic treatment. In spite of the low incidence of lower canines with one root and two canals, this possibility cannot be forgotten, inasmuch as the presence of a second canal in these teeth leads to difficulties in endodontic treatment. The precise knowledge of the dental endocanalicular system's anatomy is essential in the success of the root canal therapy, because the failure to detect the accessories canals and the incomplete radicular obturation leads to the infection of the periapical space, which will ultimately result in the loss of the tooth. The long-term success of the prosthodontic treatment depends directly on the quality of the endodontic treatment realized on the abutment teeth. The mandibular canine is very important as abutment for any type of prosthetic restoration. This article presents a clinical case of a canine tooth which displays a radicular morphology with two canals, which leads us to conclude that such anatomical variations on human teeth can also occur in our country as much as described in the international literature and cannot be overlooked when treating the teeth.
