Management of broken file in atresic canals
Fracture or separation of endodontic instruments is one of the main complications in our clinical practice in root canal treatment. This eventuality can negatively affect the outcome of treatment, as the blockage caused by the instrument fragments will prevent correct debridement and removal of pulp tissue, bacteria or smear layer. The prognosis in these cases […]
Danger zone in C-shaped root canals
The danger zone is an area of the root canal where the primary thickness of dentin before preparation is under 1 mm. In general, the danger zone is located 4 to 6 mm below the canal chamber orifice. A danger zone can appear in the buccal root of maxillary premolars and molars and in the […]
Conservative retreatment using RE TREATY
In this article we are introducing the RE-TREATY files for the retreatment of Maxillary Molar and we will show how the system combines the function of Cutting Efficiency & Flexibility to facilitate the Retreatment step in a conservative way.
Re-treatment nightmare
In our daily practice, we face a lot of difficulties in root canal treatment and re-treatment. Some of these difficulties may be due to the case itself, and others may happen during the procedure. Key factors to overcome such situations are identifying these difficulties and knowing how to deal with them.
Multiple errors retreatment
In this article i am presenting a case with multiple errors came symptomatic while biting. Lack of knowledge in the endodontic field may lead to some errors during the treatment if we are not having the right techniques combined with the right tools.
How to improve ergonomics in endodontics
Ergonomics in endodontics refers to designing tools, equipment, and workspaces to reduce health risks for operators and patients while improving posture and movement. Ergonomics in endodontics is extremely important to ensure effective and safe execution of the treatment. It refers to the design of tools, equipment and workspaces in order to minimize risks to the […]
Management of a mandibular first premolar with four canals
Understanding of the root canal anatomy is crucial prerequisite for predictable successful long-term results. (1-5) Although basic applications of root canal therapy through biomechanical preparation of the entire root canal system to obturation and final restoration, it has been reported in the Literature that 42% of retreatment cases are due to missing canals. (2) Therefore, […]
High-Tech files for demanding cases
This article will describe the important factors of the challenging cases of root canal treatment performed with Ni-Ti files. Introducing heat treatment to the world of endodontics made a huge revolution in the root canals shaping procedures. In most cases the heat treated files became much more flexible and moreover more resistant in many cases. […]
Retrieval of a long fragment separated file using a loop system
The separation of a file during a root canal treatment is a complication with an incidence ranging from 0,4-5% of cases. The evidence has shown that the outcome of root canal treatment lowers if the broken file doesn’t allow a proper disinfection and obturation of the root canal space or if the file breaks at […]
Magnification in Modern Endodontics
The introduction of the dental operating microscope and its ergonomics date back to mid to late 80s, being introduced by the famous endodontist Dr. Gary Carr. Dr. Carr often quoted, “ YOU CAN NOT TREAT WHAT YOU CAN NOT SEE” reflecting the importance of augmented vision and illumination to impose precision to endodontic treatments. This […]
Primary Root Canal Treatment of LR7 using the MG3 Blue system from Perfect: A case report
There are difficult situations clinicians cope with when performing a primary root canal treatment. If the patient has limited mouth opening, moreover a deep margine elevation must be managed to restore a distal and a buccal wall, various challenges have to be managed carefully. Placing the rubber dam clamp and identifying the canals in such […]
