Apical lesion from formation to healing
Apical periodontitis serves an essential protective function aimed at confining bacteria discharged from the root canal space and preventing them from spreading into adjacent bone marrow spaces and other remote […]
Management of deep splitting root canals
Endodontic management of a tooth is an interesting and challenging procedure that is partly blinded, and its success depends on individual clinical expertise and skill, as well as the procedural […]
Management of severe trajectories: a clinical perspective
The curved and dilacerated roots in the posterior teeth often present the major challenge to the clinicians during the endodontic treatments. Failure to secure a safe glide path in order […]
Radix entomolaris- a case series
Endodontic treatment entails thorough chemo-mechanical debridement and disinfection of the pulp spaces, followed by placement of an inert biocompatible material to allow hermetic sealing of the root canal system. Inability […]
Management of a Type III Radix Entomolaris in a first lower molar
Understanding the anatomical variations of the root canal system is a must to achieve the main goals of our treatment. The radix entomolaris is the most common variation in mandibular […]
How To deal with Splits " Different Scenarios "
Failure to locate and disinfect all the root canals may be a major reason for endodontic failure. The first Step to reach the success of root canal therapy is to have […]
Denticles/Pulp stones- A hinderance or not?
