Retreatment episodes, series 1
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 […]
Does anatomy represent a limit for root canal disinfection?
From a recent Randomized clinical trial (Comparison of the Effect of Two Endodontic Irrigation Protocols on the Elimination of Bacteria from Root Canal System: A Prospective, Randomized Clinical Trial) it was […]
Saving hopeless tooth: case report
With introduction of mineral trioxide aggregate and other bioactive materials in endodontics possibilities of saving compromised teeth have improved significantly.
Perforation repair: step by step
A tooth perforation is a pathologic or iatrogenic communication between the root canal space and the periodontal apparatus. To clinically determine if an endodontically perforated tooth should be extracted or […]
The perfect fiber post removal
The fiber post removal is always a challenge and the clinician should be as conservative as possible. Different techniques have been suggested, but two of them are the most common: […]
Endodontic Management of Maxillary Central Incisor with apical calcification
Traumatic dental injuries (TDIs) occur frequently in children and young adults, comprising 5% of all injuries. Twenty‐five percent of all school children experience dental trauma and 33% of adults have […]
CBCT guided treatment planning and management of instrument fracture in the mesial root of a second mandibular molar
Instrument fracture can be a very frustrating complication in Endodontics. Many factors determine whether a separated instrument should be removed or not from the root canal system. The aim of […]
Irrigation in Difficult Anatomical Conditions: Why IrriFlex®?
IrriFlex® has appeared on the market to change our current irrigation protocols. Its main advantages like its flexibility, its ability to reach the apical part of the root canal system […]
Daily Endo-Restorative
As dentists 70% of the cases that come to us daily in our clinics are routine cases., cases too often underestimated where avoidable mistakes are made, making them complex In […]
A recipe for disaster: no pre-op x-ray and wrong access cavity
Endodontic success often depends on canal debridement, disinfection, and canal obturation. Access to the canal is one key to debridement, in fact an appropriately designed access cavity assures unobstructed straight-line […]
Management of a perforating internal inflammatory root resorption in a maxillary central incisor
Internal root resorption is an inflammatory condition that produces the destruction of hard dental tissues. For the resorptive process to take place, two conditions have to occur simultaneously. First of […]
Management of a deep bifurcation in a lower first premolar by perfect file
Mandibular premolars have been considered to be the most challenging teeth to be treated endodontically, especially when they present with multiple roots or canals. Their propensities for anomalous variations, narrow mesiodistal […]
