Our Articles & Clinical Cases

Adhesive dentistry changed the way we approach the rehabilitation of endodontically treated teeth. Adhesives and composites have permitted more conservative protocols for repairing severely damaged teeth by reducing the invasiveness that was historically involved with the ‘’classic’’ prosthetic approach. The limit of the adhesive approach lies in our ability to be able to isolate the […]

In this article I am going to describe and show how we can use Extendo in daily practice.  It is an instrument of SMART ENDO KIT, from DEPPELER.  The kit has 5 instruments and an endo ruler.

Endodontically treated teeth (ETT) are more susceptible to biomechanics failures compared to vital teeth, mostly due to the amount of internal tooth structure that is removed during endodontic treatment and the loss of coronal hard tissue.  The prognosis of ETT is based not only on the quality of the endodontic treatment, but also on the […]

The development of various areas of dentistry requires precise study of morphology of human teeth so that better oral health can be provided. The mandibular molars play a principal role in mastication and help to maintain the vertical dimension of the face, continuity of the dental arch, maintaining the cheeks and tongue in their position […]

In retreatments the clinician should follow the same different steps: careful radiographic diagnosis and, if required, cbct reconfiguration of the cavity access, to realise the appropriate features and start the endodontic therapy in the proper way removal of accessory retention posts (if present) removal of the obturation material  try to reach the proper working lenght […]

Shaping the root canal system using only mechanical files can be done in the majority of cases. When using this approach it is important to follow a precise strategy and to choose the right instruments, avoiding iatrogenic damages and file breakage. A careful pre operative analysis of the X-ray allows the clinician to understand the […]

MTA apical plug still represents a gold standard procedure for permanent sealing of the apexes of different sizes. The precise and controlled placement of this material is always intended and Prexo M plugger showed the best flexibility and tip design for a controlled adaptation of MTA in the apical zone regardless of apical size diameter. […]

Knowledge of both normal and abnormal anatomy of the root canal system dictates the parameters for execution of root canal therapy and can directly affect the outcome of the endodontic therapy. Missed extra roots and root canals are a major reason for failure of root canal treatment. The lower mandibular first molar normally has two […]

Following the access preparation and location of anatomy, the next challenge facing the endodontic clinician is to select the proper alloy and sequence for the shaping procedures in order to be able to safely and predictably shape the anatomy without any procedural errors. This article will show the advantages of the MG3 Blue instruments and […]

In retreatments the phase of the disassembling can be difficult and time consuming. When gutta percha is too soft, for example, removing it by means of ultrasonics devices or rotary systems becomes more difficult, that’s why I stopped using solvents many years ago. In general, my approach in non surgical retreatment is to try to […]

A case report with 10 months follow up showing the effect of good irrigation protocol on the final result of the root canal treatment.  The aim of root canal treatment is to prevent and treat apical periodontitis , with the objective of eliminating microorganisms and necrotic pulp through chemo-mechanical debridement, and providing an adequate root […]

In this article we are getting in depth with SMART ENDO KIT from DEPPELER with each instrument Individually. During Endodontic Treatments we are always looking for smart choices , Sharp tools so here we are treating this Lower First Molar using the SMART ENDO KIT. The kit is composed mainly of 5 instruments with 6 […]
