R-One Mini: Simplicity Without Compromise in Endodontics
R-One Mini is a simplified rotary system designed to manage a wide range of endodontic cases while respecting the original canal anatomy. This article presents three clinical cases — from simple to complex anatomy — demonstrating how a minimalistic approach can still provide efficiency, safety, and predictable outcomes. The cases highlight the versatility of the R-One Mini system and its ability to achieve conservative and effective shaping in modern endodontic practice.
Nonsurgical Repair of a Deep Root Perforation with MTA: Evaluation of Periradicular Healing at 1 Year
Root perforations represent an unfortunate and challenging complication in endodontic therapy, often resulting from iatrogenic deviation during access cavity preparation, post-space formulation, or canal negotiation. A perforation creates an artificial […]
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 […]
Minimally Invasive Management of External Cervical Resorption Avoiding Root Canal Treatment
ECR External Repair should be opted for over default RCT
Cracked Teeth (CT) and Vertical Root Fractures (VRF)
This article aims to provide a more in-depth understanding of Cracked Tooth Syndrome (CTS) and Vertical Root Fracture (VRF) by evaluating and simplifying the various diagnostic approaches and treatment options.
Preservation-focused management of a hemisected maxillary molar- a case report
Root resection is a conservative option for molars, but reduces periodontal support and increases stress, requiring careful case selection.
Real time detection of the working length: how many advantages does it bring to the dentist?
Post-operative pain in endodontics has been widely associated with the extrusion of debris beyond the apical foramen.During mechanical preparation, dentinal chips, pulp tissue remnants, bacteria, and irrigants may be inadvertently […]
Route to Apex
In this article i am going to show how you can simplify your shaping protocol using step down technique.
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.
