Bacterial infection of the dental pulp may lead to periapical lesions. They are generally diagnosed either during routine dental radiographic examination or following acute pain in a tooth. Most periapical […]
Non-surgical management of Large-Apical Lesion with Open Apex
Bacterial infection of the dental pulp may lead to periapical lesions. They are generally diagnosed either during routine dental radiographic examination or following acute pain in a tooth. Most periapical […]
Direct pulp capping with MTA: 6 years follow-up
Minimally Invasive Dentistry refers to the philosophy of preserving the maximum amount of original dental tissue through a systematic approach. In this paradigm, the fundamental principle is to minimize the removal of dental structure. Therefore, in cases where the pulp is exposed, we should prioritize vital pulp treatments rather than root canal treatments.
MTA apical plug
MTA has several desirable properties that makes it an excellent choice for apical plug formation . Firstly , biocompatibility to the surrounding tissues . This is crucial for achieving successful […]
Making apical plugs easier using a simple collagen sponge
Proper seal of the root canal system is a key factor for long term success of the endodontic treatment. In the majority of cases, the root anatomy and the apical […]
Management of deep root perforations
Root perforation is a challenging situation when the root canal has a pathological communication with periradicular area. Perforations can occur as an iatrogenic accident during a root canal instrumentation and […]
Management of Immature Permanent Incisors with wide open apex
A major problem associated with treating traumatized teeth with necrotic pulps and open apices, is achieving an acceptable seal in the apical area. Apexification has traditionally formed an integral part of the […]
Root perforations: from breakdown to breakthrough
In retreatments, one of real endodontic challenges comes when disassembly is complete and what remains is a root canal system that has been perforated. What is the critical thinking required […]
Retrieve and repair
As Endodontists our daily work is an adrenaline fuel because we face new challenges on a daily basis and each case requires a strategy to fix it. Strategy before any […]
Root canal treatment of an immature permanent mandibular first molar
The root canal treatment of immature permanent teeth poses many challenges, one of which is the obturation technique. These teeth come with wide apices and sometimes even a divergent configuration […]
Multiple errors retreatment
In this article i am presenting a case with multiple errors came symptomatic while biting. Lack of knowledge in the endodontic field may lead to some errors during the treatment […]
Endodontic management of a Traumatic Maxillary Central Incisor with wide open apex and evident resorption
Pulp necrosis(mostly due to trauma) in teeth with incomplete roots can arrest root development resulting in open apices. he main challenge in performing root-canal treatment in teeth with necrotic pulps […]
