Retreatment of badly decayed tooth with multiple mishaps
In the world of endodontics, the line between a routine procedure and a clinical "detour" can be incredibly thin. Whether it’s a stubborn calcified canal or an unexpected instrument fracture, mishaps are less a sign of incompetence and more a reflection of the biological and anatomical complexities we face daily.
Retreatment through a crown
The patient, 72, had these crowns a few years earlier and had no desire to remove them. Tooth 4.5 had already been treated, but it was the only one that […]

S obturation with hydraulic BC cement for UR5 with deep apical split
Root canal system is a very complex three-dimensional system. Although there are general rules about the anatomy, number of root/s or canal/s for each tooth, but we should expect everything. For that reason, we should have goon understanding, good reading of radiographs, good tools, and experience to deal with different scenarios
Internal Bleaching as a Conservative Alternative to Veneers in Root Canal-Treated Tooth
This article discusses the use of internal bleaching as a conservative and effective esthetic solution for discolored, root canal–treated teeth. It highlights the clinical protocol, indications, and advantages of internal bleaching as an alternative to veneers, preserving natural tooth structure while achieving satisfactory esthetic outcomes.
Retreatment and post-retained restoration in a central incisor
When a tooth has undergone root canal treatment and has lost a large amount of coronal structure, the restorative challenge is not only to replace missing tissue, but to recover […]
Complication of bad endodontic treatment
Endodontic treatment aims to eliminate infection from the root canal system and prevent reinfection of periapical tissues. Inadequate endodontic procedures, such as insufficient canal debridement, improper working length determination, or poor obturation, may result in persistent intracanal infection. This can lead to periapical inflammation and the development of swelling, commonly presenting as a dentoalveolar abscess. Such complications not only cause patient discomfort but may also compromise the prognosis of the affected tooth. This case report highlights a clinical presentation of facial swelling resulting from failed endodontic treatment and discusses its management
Endo-resto management of two molars with failed old large amalgam restoration
Combining precise endodontic treatment with biomimetic restorations preserves tooth structure, restores function, and enhances long-term survival.
Overpost restoration of tooth 25
A 47-year-old female patient presented with a structurally compromised maxillary left second premolar (tooth 25) following completed endodontic treatment. Due to the significant loss of coronal tooth structure, a post-endodontic […]
Clinical and Anatomical Challenges in Mandibular Molars: A Comparative Analysis of Two-Canal versus Six-Canal Systems with Apical Pathosis
Mandibular molars exhibit one of the highest degrees of anatomical variability in the human dentition. While the classical configuration involves two or three canals, extreme variations exist, ranging from simplified […]
Retreatment and post endo restoration with Overfibers post
A patient came to my attention complaining about impossibility to chew on the right side of the mouth. A defective restoration was found on the first upper molar, with a […]
