Indonesian Journal of Dentistry 2006; Edisi Khusus KPPIKG XIV: 69-73 Evidence of an internal root resorption is quite rarely found in permanent teeth. In most cases it is usually asymptomatic and detected only by radiographic screening. The appearance in a radiographic view seems uniform, i.e. round to oval shaped radiolucent enlargement of pulp dental space. Trauma was Commonly recognized as one of the initiating factors of intemal root resorption. This case report of endodontic management will specifically focus on a maxillary left second premolar with internal resorption due to chronic pulpal inflammation. A common failure in performing a hermetic sealing of the root canals might depend on the complexity of anatomy of its root canals. Therefore, a modification of obturation techniques is needed. The report described a combination of a cold lateral condensation technique and a warm vertical condensation technique to improve the hermetic obturation. The result of this study shows that a combination technique could be used as an alternative technique in obturating the canals with an intemal root resorption.

Indonesian Journal of Dentistry 2006; Edisi Khusus KPPIKG XIV: 57-61 The aim of the present study was to assess the response of rat dental pulp to direct pulp capping with ethanol extracts of propolis (EEP). An occlusal cavity was prepared on the right maxillary first molar of Spraque-Dawley rats. The dental pulp was exposed and then lined with a zinc oxide-based filler as a control (group I), or with EEP (group II). Then, each cavity was filled with glass ionomer cement. The animals were sacrificed at week l, 2, or 4. Biopsy samples were obtained, and these were stained and viewed by a light microscopic. The histological examination was based on the presence of polymorph nuclear leukocytes and macrophages, and also the dentinal bridge formation. Data were statistically analyzed by using Kruskall-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests. The results showed that the inflammatory response of EEP group was relatively milder compared to the control group, but there was no significant difference (p>0.05) between the two groups. There was no dentinal bridge formation seen in both groups. Therefore, the present results suggest that direct pulp capping with EEP in rats may delay dental pulp inflammatory process and fail to stimulate reparative dentin.
