Abstract
We experienced endodontic treatment for the upper central incisor with malformed process contiguous to the cleft plate. The sharp pain on the ulcer at the oral mucosa of the inner upper lip was caused by continuous stimulation by the malformed tooth. We conducted an examination of the malformed tooth using 3 DXTM (Morita Co.) in order to understand the complex form of the pulp chamber.
The following results were obtained.
1. From the 3 DXTMim ages, we confirmed that the pulp chamber in the labial process was connected to the pulp chamber of the original central incisor.
2. Pulp exposure was found in the labial process when we adjusted the crown form of the malformed tooth we therefore performed pulpectomy and root canal filling with the gutta-percha point on the complex form of pulp chamber.
3. We are continuing to observed progress of the malformed tooth, and inserted a temporary crown. The patient had no ulcer and sharp pain after treatment, and maintained a good oral state.
