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 […]
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 […]
Conservative treatment of an upper molar
Sometimes we can be extremely conservative in endodontics: we need the right approach and conservative instruments in order to preserve dentine while correctly shaping the root canal system.
Revascularization of Immature Permanent Teeth With Apical Periodontitis
As the Tissue engineering is a growing field ,it will probably be possible to generate a complete vital tooth from a single stem cell . Stem cells are in fact […]
The removal of filling material during retreatments
The prognosis of initial endodontic treatment is mostly favorable . Nevertheless, failure can occur due to the persistence of bacteria following initial treatment or due to inadequate disinfection, shaping and […]
How to remove Eugenate-based cements and gutta-percha
The removal of gutta-percha and sealer from endodontically treated root canals is the first step of any retreatment of teeth obturated with these materials. Gutta-percha is the most common obturation […]
Internal inflammatory root resorption: a case report
Internal root resorption is rare in permanent teeth. The altered canal anatomy resultant from the resorptive process poses a challenge for the chemo-mechanical debridement and sealing of the root canal. […]
Endo - Resto Relationship
The predictors of success and failure in endodontically treated teeth depends on several factors: Apical Pathosis, Bacterial status of the canal prior to obturation, Extent and quality of the obturation […]
External cervical resorption and new bioactive materials
Effective management of external cervical resorption (ECR) depends on the accurate assessment of the true nature and accessibility of ECR. The aim of this article is, based on the available evidence, […]
The Sandwich Technique: A Convenient and Predictable method for Root Perforation Repair
Root perforations are defined as communications between the root canal space and the periodontium. These communications may be caused by a pathological process (as: external or internal resorption) or as […]
Redefining the access in retreatments: Part I of V
One of the most important step of endodontic therapy is the execution of the access cavity. Very often the failure of the therapy arises from an incorrect realization of this […]
Vertical Apical Root Fracture
Vertical fractures can occur and their diagnosis is not always predictable. Will be presented here the treatment of a 2.6 with a vertical apical fracture in the mesial root. […]
