A case of pulp canal obliteration (PCO) two years after the completion of orthodontic treatment is presented. Post orthodontic treatment PCO is a rare finding. A 23 years old female presented with the discoloration of clinical crown of maxillary right central incisor. Radiographic examination revealed the calcified canal and diffused periapical radiolucency. Vitality tests were negative. A decision was made to do root canal treatment followed by the walking bleaching. After the successful completion of the root canal treatment the internal bleaching was performed. The discolored tooth showed significant improvement in color. Internal bleaching is a viable conservative treatment for improving esthetics in single non vital discolored tooth.
本文报道了正畸治疗完成两年后发生牙髓腔封闭(PCO)的 1 例病例。正畸治疗后发生 PCO 较为罕见。1 名 23 岁女性因上颌右侧中切牙临床冠变色就诊。X 线检查显示钙化根管和弥散性根尖透光区。活力测试为阴性。决定进行根管治疗,随后进行活髓牙内漂白。根管治疗成功后,进行了内漂白。变色牙的颜色有了显著改善。内漂白是改善单个非活变色牙美观的可行保守治疗方法。
