Cemental tear is a special type of surface root fracture popularly noted in combination with periodontal and/or periapical bony destruction. Information with regard to the prognosis of teeth with cemental tears after non-surgical and surgical treatments is limited. The objective of this retrospective study was to evaluate the pocket elimination and attachment level regain for a tooth with cemental tear after removal of the cemental fragment. The periodontal treatment outcomes for teeth with cemental tears were assessed in a Multicenter Cemental Tear Study project. Of the 71 teeth with cemental tears, 38 teeth (53.5%) were extracted. The remaining 33 teeth (46.5%) were examined for treatment outcomes, i.e., healed, questioned or failed. The primary outcome measures evaluated were reduction in probing pocket depth (PPD) and gain in clinical attachment level (CAL). The results indicated that 12 months following treatment, fragment removal therapy resulted in 2.5 mm more PPD reduction (7.1 mm vs 4.6 mm) and 4.0 mm more CAL gain than the pretreatment group. The probing depth difference between the preoperative group and the 12 months follow up group was highly significant (P < 0.0001). In 33 analyzed samples, most teeth with cemental tears can be saved and maintain their function by removal of the cemental fragment. Both non-surgical and surgical interventions are effective methods for the treatment of teeth with cemental tears. These findings provide valuable insights into the management of cemental tear and its prognosis. |
