Endodontics as a Strategy to Postpone Implant Placement: A Seven-Year Follow-Up of Two Maxillary Incisors Affected by Root Resorption
A Longitudinal Clinical Case Report Introduction Pathological root resorption is an odontoclast-mediated process that can progressively compromise radicular integrity and tooth prognosis. Its management requires accurate diagnosis, assessment of remaining […]
Five Canals, One Tooth: A Microscope-Assisted Endo-Resto Case
This case report presents the endodontic and restorative management of a mandibular molar with an unexpected middle distal canal. Five canals were successfully shaped, disinfected using combined sonic and ultrasonic activation, and obturated with a warm modified technique, followed by a conservative restorative workflow culminating in an adhesive overlay.
Non-surgical Endodontic Retreatment of a Failed PFM-Crowned Immature Maxillary Central Incisor with Open Apex
A Comprehensive Clinical Protocol From Diagnosis of Failure to Aesthetic Composite Rehabilitation.
Endodontic failure in immature permanent teeth presenting with open apices poses a significant clinical challenge, compounded further when gross over-obturation, coronal leakage, and intrinsic discoloration coexist. This article describes the non-surgical retreatment of a maxillary left central incisor in a 14-year-old female patient who presented with a chronically failing, PFM-crowned tooth exhibiting a clinically detectable open margin, a draining sinus tract, a history of recurrent swelling, periapical pathology, an incompletely formed apex (open apex), and gross over-obturation of approximately 5–6 mm beyond the radiographic apex.
Why Dual-Cure Cementation Matters for Indirect Composite Restorations in Endodontically Treated Teeth
Indirect composite restorations require a luting material that combines reliable adhesion, efficient handling and predictable polymerization, even in areas where light transmission may be limited. A dual-cure resin cement offers […]
Endo-resto in a lower first molar
One of the main problems in the success of endodontics is coronal leakage; the final post-endodontic restoration is a fundamental part of the success of the treatment.
Decision making in endo-perio-restorative cases of severely compromised teeth (part 2)
This article revisits the article written by the same author, focusing on endodontic pre-treatment. The aim is to identify the correct sequence of operations to simplify the process, reduce the […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
