Working lenght (WL) is a controversial topic in Endodontics but, fortunately, Clinicians and Authors agree about respecting it as much is possible during the entire endodontic treatment. WL is the […]
Last check of the working length
Working lenght (WL) is a controversial topic in Endodontics but, fortunately, Clinicians and Authors agree about respecting it as much is possible during the entire endodontic treatment. WL is the […]
Invasive Cervical Resorption Part1: Conservative Non-surgical management
Invasive cervical resorption is characterized circumferential spread with/without coronal-apical spread in dentin where the involvement of the pulp may be delayed being present in advanced cases due to the presence […]
Redefining the access in retreatments: Part II of V
One of the most important steps of the endodontic therapy is the execution of the access cavity. Very often the failure of the therapy arises from an incorrect realization of […]
Obturation of root canals with impediments
Impediments (obstructions, obstacles) could be of anatomic (Figure 1) or iatrogenic (Figure 2) origin. Obturation of root canals with impediments potentially presents significant challenge for clinician and different approaches are […]
Management of broken files - A clinical approach - Part 2
We have discussed in the part 1 of this article how to remove broken files using ultrasonic technique (https://endodontics.styleitaliano.org/management-of-broken-files-a-clinical-approach/ ) but sometimes the ultrasonic (US) technique is useless when the broken […]
Endodontic management of a tooth with large pulp stone
Pulp stones are discrete calcifications found in the pulp chamber of the tooth which may undergo changes to become diffuse pulp calcifications such as dystrophic calcification.[1] The number of pulp […]
The use of CAD/CAM technology
in the restoration of endodontically treated teeth
Due to the biological and structural changes that the tooth undergoes during endodontic treatments,in principle it is mandatory that the teeth should be covered with a crown. The exceptation of […]
Endodontic management of mandibular canine with two roots and two canals
The aim of endodontic treatment is to eliminate microorganism infection from the root canal system and prevent reinfection.[1] Successful Endodontic treatment depends upon Adequate knowledge about the morphology of root […]
Apical fluid dynamics: the irrigant exchange
Syringe irrigation remains a widely used irrigant delivery method during root canal treatment. Unfortunately in the apical region there is always a limited liquid exchange due to physical and mechanical […]
Management of iatrogenic root perforations: a case report
Iatrogenic perforation can occur during different steps of the endodontic treatment which can be challenging or compromised with this procedural mishap. The purpose of this article is to report and […]
Mb2 as a first choice
This clinical case demonstrates how a strategy is important to approach in a proper way a difficult clinical case. MB1 scouting usually it’s easier and more predictable and only in […]
Revascularization - 6 years follow up
One of the main objective in case of incomplete root formation is to re-establish the blood flow allowing the continuation of the root development. Nowadays, the revascularization technique is an […]
