This is not a scientific journal, nor is it meant to be a peer reviewed footnoted discourse. This blog, like most blogs, is opinion. If you have a different way of doing things, fine. There is often more than one right way. If you don't like the techniques or methods used, or if you just want to complain, please do so here, but use appropriate discretion. It may just be, however, that you need to get your own blog if you think you have the absolute best way. I have tried to stay within the boundaries of state law and proper ethical standards. I know we're pushing the envelope sometimes with blogging. I hope in the end, this blog makes everyone more informed and a little bit happier. God Bless.

I am a Pediatric dentist located in Beirut lebanon , I have a five years old female patient who is caries free had a tauma almost 16 months ago where her incisomesial angle of her maxillary rt central incisor was fractured it was builtup, lately her maxillary rt lateral incisor is mobile with a small abcess located just near the interdental gingival papilla, the radiograph shows a total resorption of the lateral incisor root any idea of what the cause could be. thank you
I can't say, but I have seen teeth adjacent to a traumatized area have problems. They may have sustained a trauma (luxation or something) at the same time as the other teeth did, but it was not as obvious. Also, an abscess can cause tooth root resorption.
dear dr saleem .
will you please keave me your tel no , i have a patient need to transfer it to you.
Thank you

Wrigley Oral Healthcare Programs (WOHP) and the FDI are inviting dental professionals to express their creative side and snap-up some fantastic prizes, by sending in a picture that makes them smile.
They are giving away prizes ranging from an all-inclusive trip to an upcoming FDI Annual World Dental Congress in either Singapore 2009 or Brazil 2010 to a years supply of Wrigley’s sugar-free gum.

Methods to "replace " a knocked out tooth include a bridge, implants, or most commonly-orthodontics. See my posts on trauma and on when to start braces.
