Fractured endodontic instruments visualized on the initial radiograph of a case that calls for retreatment may pose a great challenge to the clinician who is being asked to undertake an already complicated task. Conventional conservative management of separated instruments includes attempts to remove or bypass the fragment, or prepare and fill the root canal system […]

Fracture of root canal instruments used in root canals is a common complication in endodontics. In this article, I will demonstrate the creation of a custom loop that can be used to retrieve a broken root canal instrument

Within the intricate landscape of dental health, the phenomenon of cracked teeth poses a challenging conundrum for both patients and dental professionals. Cracked teeth, an umbrella term encompassing various fissures and fractures within tooth structures, present a complex array of symptoms and diagnostic intricacies, often defying conventional diagnostic methodologies. This exclusive article aims to delve into the multifaceted nature of cracked teeth, exploring their diverse manifestations, diagnostic challenges, and tailored approaches to comprehensive management.

In this article, I will discuss the retrieval of Silver Point Cones using the grasping technique

Traditional transplantation, surgical extrusion and intentional replantation procedures are important treatment options that clinicians may consider performing in their daily clinical practice. 

Supernumerary root in mandibular molars; prevalence, classification, diagnosis and management.

The main purpose of an endodontic treatment is to render the root canal system free of bacteria. This will facilitate the resolution of inflammation and the alleviation of symptoms. But most of the time, the clinician faces obstacles that must be overcome to properly disinfect the root canals. Failure to remove these interferences means that […]

THE USE OF INTENTIONAL REPLANTATION IN NONVITAL TOOTH AS A CONSERVATIVE APPROACH.

Nowadays, it is a common thing to have patients with extensive dental tissue loss because of caries. However, high magnification and the use of new technology and techniques help us to save teeth that not long ago would be considered for extraction. A patient, with clear medical history, was referred for evaluation of restorability and […]

A pre-eruptive intra-coronal resorption (PIER) is a defect located in the dentin of an unerupted tooth, just beneath the dentin-enamel junction.  The depth of the lesion is variable and may also reach the pulp, like in this 13 years old patient.  In the past, these lesions were confused with caries, and were therefore called “hidden” […]

Finding mB2 can be challenging work. Usually, the entrance is covered with thick deposition of secondary dentin, which impede visualization. In clinical practice finding MB2 is of higher importance, while ignoring it can lead to apical periodontitis in vast majority of cases. We want to share more predictable searching method for easy detection of MB2.

In field of endodontic retreatment, the traditional dichotomy between non-selective nonsurgical methods and selective surgical interventions has been redefined by advances in CBCT imaging. This technological leap has facilitated the development of a contemporary method that amalgamates the conservative nature of nonsurgical techniques with the precision of surgical selectivity. This novel, minimally invasive approach allows […]
