Dental Adhesives: a 10 years story
An article by dr. Salvatore Sauro Overview and basic commentary Before any discussion about adhesion to crown and root dentine, it is imperative to state that there is no substantial scientific research evidence-base that can support a specific bonding approach rather than another. Said that, there are several in vitro studies showing that multi-step bonding […]
The Golden Era of root canal shaping
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 Gold instruments and […]
Middle Mesial Canal How to Detect it
Article by: Elias Abboud, Damascus Syria The mandibular first molar seems to be the tooth that most often requires an endodontic procedure (vital pulp capping, pulpotomy, root canal therapy) therefore, its morphology has received a great deal of attention. The canals in the mesial root are the mesiobuccal and mesiolingual canals. A middle mesial canal (MMC) sometimes […]
Locating the calcified - Shaping the narrow
Narrow canal is a great challenge to Endodontist, When combined with calcified entrance the difficulty doubled. Preoperative assessment to the periapical radiograph would help in avoiding many errors that could happen if case is underestimated. In this article we’ll describe how we overcome the challenge using the correct technique and the right tools.
Itena Glass Fiber Post Restoration Step by Step
Clinicians often face dilemmas regarding the most appropriate way to restore a tooth following root canal treatment. Whilst there is established consensus on the importance of the ferrule effect on the predictable restoration of root filled teeth, other factors, such as residual tooth volume, tooth location, number of proximal contacts, timing of the definitive restoration […]
Can surgery fix problems? Part 1
What if retreatment is not enough? Retreatment is one of the biggest challenges for the clinician due to the unexpected surprises, prognosis & diagnosis which may be tricky in many situations. But some times the rationale of treatment may be different in which the Retreatment may not be enough so we may need further intervention.
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 […]
