Root resorption is a pathological process that may occur after surgical mechanical, chemical or thermal insult. Generally, it can be classified as internal and external root resorption. Depending on the […]
3 rooted Lower Second Molar
Most mandibular second molars are usually found to have two roots (76%) or one root (22%). The incidence of 3 roots anatomy in such teeth is considered a rare finding […]
Retreatment of teeth with a complex root system anatomy #1
The second maxillary premolar may have 1 to 3 roots: with one root canal in 75-96% of cases, with two root canals in 4-24% and three root canals in 0-1%. […]
Middle mesial canal – a case series
Middle mesial canal (MMC) is an additional canal found in mandibular first molars. The knowledge of its presence and its detection, negotiation, disinfection and sealing plays paramount importance in the […]
The endodontic ledge: causes and management
As endodontists we often encounter retreatment cases with procedural errors such as canal blockages, ledges, instrument fractures and perforations. The ledge is defined as an iatrogenic deviation from the original […]
Four-Rooted Maxillary Molars
The maxillary first molar typically exhibits complex root canal anatomy, commonly presenting with three roots—two buccal and one palatal. However, anatomical variations, such as the presence of a fourth root, […]
Selective Root Canal Re-Treatement of Lower Left Pre-Molar
In retreatment cases , the clinician has to deal with many mishaps such as underfilled, missed and obstructed canals as also with iatrogenic damages as separated instruments and perforations. Underfilled […]
Management of anatomy in a first tricky premolar (Deep Split)
The clinician must be aware of the possible anatomical variations of these teeth and their relationship to adjacent anatomical structures when planning and performing endodontic procedures.
Retreatment case with two types of perforations
Root perforations were the second greatest cause of failure accounting for 9.62% of all unsuccessful cases. Seltzer et al. also attributed 3.52% of all endodontic failures to perforation. This perforation […]
Retreatment of teeth with a complex root system anatomy #1
Modern endodontic treatment is based on optimal cleaning,disinfection and high-quiality obturation of the root canal system.Anatomy is considered as a key factor in the healing process.That is why a clinician have to be aware of all normal,possible and abnormal variations in the teeth anatomy for achieving a maximum clinical success.In the article presents clinical example that demonstrate the complexity of endodontic retreatment of the maxillary left premolar
Dental Trauma: Forever classic, Never boring
