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.
Teeth with previous apical resection and persistent apical periodontitis are usually re-treated surgically or with a combination of non-surgical and surgical re-treatment. Alternatively, nonsurgical orthograde treatment of failed apicoectomy can be performed using the apical barrier technique used for apical closure of nonvital teeth with apical resorption or immature nonvital teeth. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) […]
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). […]
Several filling techniques exist: the clinician should be choosing the filling technique according to the clinical conditions.
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.
