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?
Pulp stones are defined as foci of calcifications that form within the pulp chamber, more frequently in the coronal pulp cavity and sometimes in radicular pulp space. In the year […]
Management of molarized premolar with severly calcified and curved canals
This article clarifies how to deal with extra root canal system anatomy of premolars clinically and how you can manage and shape the buccal tinny and curved canals of molarized […]
Danger zone in C-shaped root canals
The danger zone is an area of the root canal where the primary thickness of dentin before preparation is under 1 mm. In general, the danger zone is located 4 […]
Management of a mandibular first premolar with four canals
Understanding of the root canal anatomy is crucial prerequisite for predictable successful long-term results. (1-5) Although basic applications of root canal therapy through biomechanical preparation of the entire root canal […]
Dealing with lower premolars
The first step to reach the success of root canal therapy is o have a good knowledge of the root and root canal morphology. This helps us to locate all […]
Endo-resto management of a poorly treated premolar
The successful outcome of root canal treatment in teeth with non-infected vital pulps depends on preventing root canal infection, while in teeth with infected necrotic pulps it relies on eradication […]
