Management of Immature Permanent Incisors with wide open apex
A major problem associated with treating traumatized teeth with necrotic pulps and open apices, is achieving an acceptable seal in the apical area. Apexification has traditionally formed an integral part of the […]
Management of deep splitting root canals
Endodontic management of a tooth is an interesting and challenging procedure that is partly blinded, and its success depends on individual clinical expertise and skill, as well as the procedural […]
Management of severe trajectories: a clinical perspective
The curved and dilacerated roots in the posterior teeth often present the major challenge to the clinicians during the endodontic treatments. Failure to secure a safe glide path in order […]
A Perfect Re-RCT
The use of CBCT at the diagnostic and treatment planning stage allows to detect presence of refractory endodontic pathology root by root in multicoated teeth. Teeth affected by pathology in […]
Root perforations: from breakdown to breakthrough
In retreatments, one of real endodontic challenges comes when disassembly is complete and what remains is a root canal system that has been perforated. What is the critical thinking required […]
How to deal with EIAE? A case report
EIAE (Endodontic interappointment emergencies) is a complication commences a few hours or days after root canal procedures and it is characterized by the development of pain and/or swelling. Despite the […]
Pre-endodontic build up of an upper second premolar
One of the main objectives in endodontic treatment is the disinfection of the root canal system. However, most of the time we face severely destroyed teeth, which means a challenge […]
Intentional replantation - forgotten tooth saving procedure?
Intentional replantation or reimplantation is purposeful removal of a tooth and its reinsertion into the socket almost immediately after sealing the apical foramina. It is a one-stage treatment that would […]
Radix entomolaris- a case series
Endodontic treatment entails thorough chemo-mechanical debridement and disinfection of the pulp spaces, followed by placement of an inert biocompatible material to allow hermetic sealing of the root canal system. Inability […]
Management of a Type III Radix Entomolaris in a first lower molar
Understanding the anatomical variations of the root canal system is a must to achieve the main goals of our treatment. The radix entomolaris is the most common variation in mandibular […]
Retrieve and repair
As Endodontists our daily work is an adrenaline fuel because we face new challenges on a daily basis and each case requires a strategy to fix it. Strategy before any […]
