Preservation of compromised teeth can be challenging, especially when an extensive periapical lesion is affecting prognosis.

Where do we draw the line and accept the extraction as a treatment option in endodontics? Is there a limit of what endodontics can achieve? Today we will discuss about intentional replantation and how it can provide us with a solution beyond the borders of conventional root canal treatment presenting a case with a two year follow up.
Anatomy is one of the biggest challenges in the root canal treatment. During the step of shaping lots of errors may happen like zipping, ledges, transportation, straightening the anatomy and file […]
The Presence of Second Mesio-buccal canal in Upper Molars is One of the most common scenarios of Anatomical Variations. According to Studies from Different Middle Eastern Countries, The prevalence of […]
Obtaining a proper seal in immature teeth is a difficult task because of the wide apical delta it presents. But regernerative endodontics gives us the chance to create pulp in […]
This case details the non-surgical retreatment of tooth 46 in a 40-year-old female presenting with symptomatic apical periodontitis. Clinical and radiographic evaluation revealed a poorly adapted crown, metallic posts, secondary […]
Dental trauma is a significant public health concern, often resulting from accidents, sports injuries, or falls. Among the various types of dental injuries, avulsion and extrusion represent severe forms of […]
Endodontic treatment aiming to cure and prevent apical periodontitis to retain tooth as long as possible, functioning without symptoms. In order to achieve this, we must performed root canal preparation to reduce bacteria to the level that necessary, this mean we shape and clean the root canal system to its terminus.
But we need to bear in mind that in order to achieve long term predictability we also need to save tooth structure specially the PCD area in order tooth to withstand occlusal force for period of time
External inflammatory resorption (EIR) is present on the external surface of the root of majority of the teeth diagnosed with chronic apical periodontitis. EIR also affects teeth that suffer severe […]
Cracked teeth have always been a difficult problem. The rate of cracked teeth increased during the initial outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic; several studies provided evidence on the association between […]
The primary goal of root canal shaping is to create a continuously tapered, funnel-shaped canal while preserving the original anatomy. This is significantly harder to achieve in a curved canal […]
The incidence of MB2 and MB3 in upper first molars is low (Ronald Ordinola-Zapata et al., 2020), however one of the most common reasons for endodontic failures is missed anatomy […]
