Retreatments and ReTreaty
In this article i am highlighting the way i’ve dealt with this syptomatic upper Premolar with 2 instruments separated.
Everything changes except for anatomy!
As the complex anatomy of maxillary first molars is one of the major challenges in endodontic therapy, knowledge of the complicated root canal anatomy and configuration is crucial to ensure the success of endodontic treatment and prognosis. This article presents an endodontically managed maxillary first molar with special anatomy.

In this article we are going to share management of a pulp stone associated with c-shaped canals in a lower second molar.
Middle mesial canal (MMC) in lower molars
The main canals in the mesial root of lower molars are the mesiobuccal and mesiolingual canals. A middle mesial canal (MMC) sometimes is present in the developmental groove between the […]
Endodontic management of immature central incisor by apexification
Trauma or caries in young children or adolescents can cause pulp necrosis, which may arrest root development in permanent teeth. This in turn results in thin dentinal walls, wide-open apices […]
Management of maxillary first premolars with particular anatomies
To obtain good results in endodontic treatment it is important to remove all microorganisms from root canal system, three dimensionally sealing and the placement of a good coronal seal to […]
Premolars with 4 canals is not a daily case
The purpose of root canal treatment is to clear pathogenic microbes and infected pulp in the root canal, prevent it from producing toxic products, and protect the periapical tissue. […]
Does MTA ensure a good seal?
Large apices and root canal perforations are always challenging to seal with traditional root filling materials, for many reasons like shrinkage, toxicity, inflammatory response, and sealing ability of those materials. […]
Non-surgical management of Large-Apical Lesion with Open Apex
Bacterial infection of the dental pulp may lead to periapical lesions. They are generally diagnosed either during routine dental radiographic examination or following acute pain in a tooth. Most periapical […]
Removing Gutta during retreatments: better using solvents from the start?
The use of solvents helps removing the filling material form the canals, however it may as well slow down the retreatment process.
A case report
When Retreatment Fails…
The role of endodontics is to save as many teeth as possibile. Today thanks to technology (Microscope, CBCT, New instruments) we are able to manage very difficult cases. It’s very […]
