Multiple Complex Mishaps Management

Well lodged-in
The removal of separated files is favourable when the file is visible, located in a relatively straight canal and there is a significant portion of the file protruding in the pulp chamber above the canal orifice.
Gentle teasing with Stieglitz Forceps usually represents the best approach in this situations similarly to silver points’ removal.
Unfortunately in the presented case the use of grasping action and pull was not sufficient due to engagement of the file past the apical foramen.
A tailored trial and error approach is required for each individual case.
90 minutes endo resto
For me, there is nothing better than being able to manage endo and resto of a tooth in a single visit
ENDO-PERIO LESIONS: SIMPLIFIED CLASSIFICATION
Periodontium and pulpal spaces represent the two primary modes of dental infection from oral bacteria.
At the clinical level, compound dentoalveolar infections involving both tissues are common and present challenges for diagnosis and treatment. The complex lesions presenting the characteristics of both endodontic and periodontic infections are referred to as endo-periodontal lesions (EPLs).
MISSED CANAL , SURGICAL APPROACH
In this article i am presenting a case with a separated Instrument and missed anatomy. The patient had symptoms while biting
Direct Vs Indirect restoration of endodontically treated teeth
The restoration of endodontically treated teeth must be planned before initiating root canal treatment. Because Microbial contamination of the root canal system and peri-apical tissues is the most common reason […]
Shaping narrow canals using the forward reciproc motion– Case report
The primary goal of successful endodontic therapy is to perform a proper cleaning and shaping of the root canal system. In clinical practice, this cleaning and shaping, performed with the […]
Magnification & Ultrasonics: the perfect marriage
The piezoelectric ultrasonics have the potential to become routinely incorporated into almost every component of endodontic treatment, re-treatment, and apical microsurgery.
It is already indispensable as a precise tool with which the most challenging clinical situations, such as finding hidden root canals and
removing root canal obstructions, can be done with relative ease, predictability, and conservancy.
In this article, I will explain some of the uses of ultrasonics in conventional nonsurgical endodontics.
Root Canal Retreatment of LL6 using the Retreaty system from Perfect: A case report
Achieving glide path in retreatments by removing safely the gutta percha and sealer from within the root canal is always a difficult step. The instruments used in endodontic retreatments have […]
Retreatment
The failure of root canal treatment is a problem encountered by every dentist. A large number of studies have shown that teeth may continue to have previous periapical lesions or even develop new periapical lesions after root canal treatment. The reasons for root canal treatment failure, the site to be debreached, the method to be repaired, and the communication with the patient are all very important factors in retreatment.
Management of 3 broken files in upper right molar
INSTRUMENT FRACTURE IS A COMMON COMPLICATION IN ENDODONTICS THAT WE MUST BE PREPARED TO SOLVE IN A PREDICTABLE WAY. IN THIS CASE WE SHOW HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY RESOLVE THIS COMPLEX SITUATION
Endodontic treatment of necrotic teeth with periapical lesion
One of the most common complications after dental trauma is pulp necrosis, which is often associated with apical periodontitis. The management of these teeth is challenging due to large root canals, open apices, and thin dentinal walls. 1
Long-term irritation leads to periapical lesions and cysts in the apical region. If left untreated, necrotic and infected pulp causes inflammatory lesions in the periapical tissues to grow over time, leading to structural changes in the bone. In some cases, root canal treatment may be required later during follow-up of injuries, due to subsequent pulp necrosis and infection of the root canal system. 2-3
