Conquering complex Anatomy with MG3
A complex anatomy is considered a real nightmare to any clinician. Lack of attention to the complex anatomy by the clinician can lead to a series of unfortunate events during treatment, such as; Altered anatomy “ledges”, Perforations or Separated instruments.
Therefore; pretreatment evaluation of the case as well as a sound shaping strategy are essential to address the anatomy & avoid mishaps.
Extraction or try retention?
The management of cracked teeth represents a difficulty because their diagnosis is complex and there is no consensus concerning their treatment
Endo-restorative treatment of discolored upper incisor
Every patient wants a functional, healthy, and esthetically appealing smile.
This article describes a patient with discolored and fractured composite resin restorations with improper endodontic treatment on the anterior teeth in whom substitution was indicated.
This treatment improves the endodontic and restorative aspects.
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.
Endodontic surgery of the lower incisor: how important is it to verify the presence of a lingual canal?
The surgery of lower incisors should be performed carefully, assessing the possible presence of lingual canals, and avoiding the mistake of underpreparation by not adequately evaluating the clinical situation
Separated file dilemma
Separated files at different levels require different approaches
Dens invaginatus
Dens invaginatus is malformation of teeth probably resulting from an infolding of the dental papilla during tooth development. Affected teeth show a deep infolding of enamel and dentine starting from the foramen coecum or even the tip of the cusps, and which may extend deep into the root. Teeth most affected are maxillary lateral incisors and bilateral occurrence is not uncommon. The malformation shows a broad spectrum of morphologic variations and frequently results in early pulp necrosis. Root canal therapy may present severe problems because of the complex anatomy of the teeth.
The tricky lower first premolar with 4 canals
The mandibular first premolar can be considered one of the most challenging teeth for the endodontist during endodontic procedures; because of the complexity of its root canal morphology and increased incidence of multiple canals. The knowledge of internal anatomy of root canals and their possible variations as well as use of magnification, operating microscope, radiographic examination and illumination, can increase the chances of finding additional canals and contribute to the success of endodontic treatment.
MB3 in second maxillary molar
A case presentation of maxillary second molar with 3 mesio buccal (MB) canals.
Management of a tooth with primary periodontal lesion with AF F One
Endo pero lesions of primary periodontal organ can be diffcult to diagnose. A multidisciplinary approach is mandatory to solve the case
The endodontic dark hole
Internal resorption is a complex case that requires multiple tools and knowledge to treat it properly. Internal resorption is a condition in vital cases where is the loss of dentin […]
