Dens invaginatus (DI) is one of the rare malformations of teeth which results from an infolding of the dental papilla during the development of teeth. This defect gives rise to a possible communication between the pulp and oral environment, thereby increasing the susceptibility to caries, pulpitis, and pulp necrosis.

The Zoning Technique is an innovative approach in endodontics that aims to optimize root canal treatment by dividing the root canal system into distinct zones and applying specific instruments and techniques tailored to each zone's unique characteristics. This technique enhances procedural efficiency, increases treatment precision, and improves the overall success rates of endodontic therapy. In this article, […]

The C-shaped root canal configuration is an anatomical variation which is caused by the fusion of the mesial and distal roots either on the buccal or lingual root surface (1). The term ‘‘C-shaped canal’’ was firstly used by Cooke and Cox in 1979 (2). Numerous studies have reported that the incidence of C-shaped canals is […]

This article demonstrates the protocols followed on two teeth with unique anatomical features in a conservative, feasible, teachable and repeatable way. 

With increasing number of reports and studies of unusual root canal morphology, It is of utmost importance that the clinician must have detailed knowledge of the pulp canal anatomy to achieve effectively proper cleaning and shaping of the root canal system. Failure to recognize the aberrant root canal anatomy will lead to an unsuccessful treatment and thus failure of the endodontic therapy.
This case report describes a very rare scenario of a mandibular right first molar with five root canals (three in distal root and two in mesial root) and a maxillary left second molar with also five root canals (three in the mesial buccal root, one in the distobuccal root, and one palatal) in the same patient.

Root canal treatment of maxillary second molar can be very difficult . Beside the limited accesibility of tooth in mouth with limited mouth opening ,with complex root canal anatomy specially if its a c shaped anatomy with irregular canals and challenge to clean and disinfect the isthmus part specially are the major difficulties of root […]

Variations in the root canal configurations are a great challenge for the endodontist during endodontic procedures. This necessitates the understanding of canal morphology before initiating the treatment.

Endodontic management of a very rare case of tooth no 2.7

One of the most important prerequisites for successful endodontic treatment is the adequate knowledge and understanding of root canal anatomy. The mandibular first molar (MFM) seems to be the tooth that most often requires root canal treatment and over the years numerous in vitro and in vivo studies have investigated its root canal morphology (1-3). […]

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.

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.
