RESUMO
Se presenta un caso clínico de fractura radicular del tercio medio, de pieza 2.1 con desplazamiento de los cabos de fractura. Es tratado con un novedoso procedimiento terapéutico, mediante la utilización de un biomaterial de tercera generación osteoconductor, osteogénico y osteoinductor. Se obtiene la reparación del tejido conectivo interproximal y la formación de tejido calcificado (AU)
We present a clinical case of root fracture of the middle third, piece 2.1 with displacement of the fracture ends. It is treated with a novel therapeutic procedure, using a thirdgeneration osteoconductive, osteogenic and osteoinductive biomaterial. Interproximal connective tissue repair and calcified tissue formation are obtained (AU)

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapeutic effect of ND:YAP laser in persistent lesions through signs and symptoms such as the presence of fistulas and pain, respectively. BACKGROUND DATA: Periapical lesions with bacterial invasion, giving origin to bacterial infections, appear many times during the endodontic treatment, which aims at preparing and disinfecting the root canal system, in canals with mortified pulp. The endodontic treatment aim at eliminating infections and reinfection prevention; however, sometimes re-treatment is necessary, and it can be complemented with paraendodontic surgery due to reinfection, which can also persist. METHODS: Our study group consisted of six clinical cases (endodontic treatment), with the introduction of a 300-microm optic fiber through the fistula channel, where three applications were carried out with an interval of 15 sec, each with a discharge of 300 mJ of energy and frequency of 30 Hz. RESULTS: After a 7-day interval, the signs and symptoms were absent, even after a follow-up of 18 months. It was also observed, through a microbiological study, the decrease of the local microbiota. CONCLUSIONS: Our results supported the use of Nd:YAP laser, in part since it created an unfavorable environment for the continuing development of microorganisms.
