When I started treating the tooth number 3.7, I understood from the beginning that the case was peculiar. During the emergency session a radix paramolaris was not detected and a SX rotary file created immediately an accidental stripping during orifice opening. The management of an unconventional anatomy and the repair of a iatrogenic error will […]

With increasing reports of aberrant canal morphology, the clinician needs to be aware of the possibility of having a middle mesial canal in mandibular first molars. The purpose of this article is to report the successful treatment of a clinical case of a mandibular molar with three mesial and two distal canals. 

Management of broken instruments beyond the curvature always presents significant challenge, even for experienced clinicians. Patient was referred for retreatment of tooth #37. Tooth was diagnosed with previously initiated therapy and asymptomatic apical periodontitis. The long broken fragment of endodontic instrument in the mesial root was evident (Figure 1). In cases of broken instruments beyond the […]

Negotiation, glide path, and preflaring are essential steps in root canal shaping. They always must be associated to a good debris removal in order to avoid accidental canal blockage or apical extrusion of debris. For this reason, a deep irrigation should be achieved since the first steps of a root canal treatment. Adequate cleaning, shaping, and […]

The goal of endodontics is to clean, shape and filling 3D the endodontic space, eliminating most of the bacterias presents in the canals. Many of the difficulties found in root canal treatment are due to variations in root canal morphology(1). Endodontic failure may be associated with the persistence of infection because of a missed canal […]

The coronary seal is just as important as the apical seal. Endodontic treatments will have good prognosis and their long life will be ensured, if we have completed treatment not only of the endodontic system but also of the restorations part. We are witnesses ourselves, but there are also have many studies that proves that […]

MTA has a broad field of use in endodontics thanks to its biocompatibility and its capability to harden in a moist environment. Several articles proved it to be effective as a pulp capping material, although most of the literature focuses on the pulp capping in young patients...but what happens when if do this in an […]

Correct diagnosis is the key to all predictable endodontic treatment. Root canal treatment depends largely on IOPA (Intra-oral periapical) radiographs to assess the anatomy of the tooth and periapical structures (Forsberg 1987a, b, Cotton et al. 2009, Patel at al. 2009).     A 23 years old male presented complaining of moderate dull pain in […]

In case of large foramen the traditional techniques with gutta-percha and cement are less efficient   in term of sealing , for this reason the use of different techniques are nowadays the gold standard when we have to face resorbed apexes , zipped apexes or big foramen 

How much technology can support us?  Print&Try technique represents a really useful method in order to simulate the root canal treatment. Using CBCT Scan images, it is possible to extrapolate file that can be transformed into an STL model and then printed with a high definition 3d printer.  Clinicians can train on a 3D printed […]

How much technology can help us? Print&Try technique represents a really useful method in order to simulate the clinical treatment that will be done next. From CBCT it’s obtained a file that is transformed in an STL and printed after with an high definition 3d printer. Clinician can try and find the best approach in […]
