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 […]
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 […]
ENDODONTIC REVISION ON DEEP SPLIT PREMOLAR: A Case Report
A case report of endodontic retreatment or I can say revision of lower second left premolar with anatomical challenge of deep split root canal at the apical third.
We all make mistakes - correct protocols help us detect them early
The in-depth knowledge of root anatomy and its possible variations is absolutely fundamental for the long-term success of our therapies. Sometimes, despite the aid of strong surgical magnification and despite good anatomical knowledge, one may come across particular anatomies in an unpredictable way. A correct operating protocol can protect us from errors, giving us the way to correct them without consequences.
Management of Multiplanar Curvature
In this article, I will discuss the method of diagnosing and analyzing multiplanar curvature, along with the treatment planning using the novel treatment approach.
Dealing with MM canal in a lower first molar
After conducting a lot of studies of the internal anatomy of the first
mandibular molar, it was found that there is a lot of diversity in the
internal anatomy of the tooth, and taking advantage of the studies
that were conducted, it was found that the main reason of the failure of endodontic treatment occurs due to missing canal
of the first molar.
Therefore, one must understand and bear in mind the difference in
the internal anatomy of the teeth when you need to do endodontic
treatments.
