Saving Two Mandibular Molars
The Primary objective of endodontic treatments is treatment and/or prevention of apical periodontitis. To achieve this goal, the endodontist must be able to process all the case givens to reach a conservative and predictable treatment. This articles describes the decision making process in non-surgical retreatments of two mandibular molars throughout the endodontic workflow.
Finding the MB2 canal
In this clinical case I want to emphasize the importance of the instruments and the impact they give us during endodontic treatments, which are often complicated where the help of specific instruments makes the difference. To achieve a successful endodontic treatment, we must meet three conditions : knowledge, experience and the proper instruments. The chois […]
Cervical margin relocation of endodontically treated teeth
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 […]
The advantage to use Extendo in removing Thermafil Plastic Carrier on retreatment case
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.
Use of Itena Dentoclic Glass Fiber Post in the Restoration of endodontically treated tooth
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 power of FLEX Endodontic Treatment of a Mandibular first molar with T- Flex files
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 […]
Removal of obturation material from the root canals: the correct use of ExtEndo
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 […]
F-One Essential Kit used in the treatment of a first upper molar and retreatment of a lateral upper incisor
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 […]
Prexo as new plugger for the ideal MTA apical plug
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. […]
Management of Middle Mesial Canal in a lower Molar
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 […]
The Blue Power: Safe and Predictable Shaping using MG3 Blue
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 […]
The alternative use of ExtEndo in non surgical retreatment
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 […]
