Management of internal root resorption in a maxillary central incisor
Root resorption is a particular physiologic or a pathologic pulpal disease associated with loss of dentin, cementum, and/or bone. This resorption may occur following different types of injuries, including chemical, mechanical or thermal injury. Furthermore, it can be cla classified as internal or external root resorption. Internal root resorption (IRR), is a rare condition that […]
Endodontic management of a mandibular first molar with pulp stone obliterating the floor of pulp chamber – a case report.
The goals of an endodontic treatment are to prevent and intercept the process of pulpal/ peri radicular pathosis and to also prevent its reinfection after the treatment. For achieving this, a good diagnosis of the case, followed by chalking out a feasible and appropriate treatment plan and its execution is important. Starting from good clinical […]
Retreatment series: Episode 3
The Root canal treatments is a way full of challenges, that may be the ANATOMY and also it may be The Dealing with the “PROCEDURAL ERRORS” in this article i will describe how I managed this Treatment Mishap. I have described in two Episodes before different approaches for Non-Surgical Root Canal Retreatment this time i […]
Conservative Shaping with MG3
Is it possible to talk about a conservative approach during shaping? It has been suggested by Clarck and Khademi in 2010 that the prognosis of the tooth after root canal treatment depends on the capacity to preserve peri cervical dentine (PCD) and rebuilt the tooth with as much as possible healthy tooth structure . Since […]
Smooth endo-resto
Nice and smooth shaping made with our selection of FANTA files. The restoration was done with a 3D printed overlay.
Regenerative endodontics: A Reliable Option
Various regenerative endodontic treatment (RET) protocols have been suggested with differences mainly in the disinfection technique used, intracanal medicaments, scaffold systems, and coronal filling materials. In order to reduce such variability, the American Association of Endodontists (2013) and European Society of Endodontology (2016) developed evidence based recommended protocols. These guidelines helped reduce some of the […]
Thermafil Retreatment of a right upper first molar
The Thermafil Obturation technique was first introduced by Dr. W.B. Johnson in an article published in the Journal of Endodontics in 1978 as a simple method for the delivery of thermo-plasticized gutta-percha (GP) to the prepared root canal space. Many studies proved that it was an efficient, easy and reproducible obturation technique with a high […]
A Multi-Disciplinary Approach in Non-Surgical Re-treatment of Mandibular Right First Molar
Endodontic re-treatment is a usual scenario in daily practice. Though, it can be challenging due to many related factors. Therefore, it requires good assessment of the case through systematic approaches in terms of diagnosis, treatment plan, and the execution of the procedure. A 40 years old male patient presented complaining of discomfort and food impaction […]
A simple technique for management of apical bleeding
Root canal bleeding is usual finding during root canal treatment/retreatment procedures.
Introducing the MG3 set
I would like to introduce to you new, very easy and efficient file set MG3 from PerfectEndo. This is my first video of the shaping protocol to be followed and I hope you will like the files.
Retreatment Series: Episode 2
Root canal retreatment seems to be one of the biggest challenges in the Endodontic therapy, in the retreatment episodes we will review different scenarios with different cases. In Endodontics we are dealing with a lot of challenges such as anatomy, mishaps, instrument separation, etc. but one of the biggest challenges is to deal safely with […]
The management of a buccal perforation in a lower incisor
Root perforations are characterized by a communication between the root canal system and the external tooth surface. They are caused by a pathological process or an operative procedural accident. When iatrogenic, they can occur during access cavity opening, root canal preparation or during post preparation. Root perforation needs to be diagnosed early and treated appropriately as soon as possible, since they may cause an inflammatory […]
