Root perforations: from breakdown to breakthrough
In retreatments, one of real endodontic challenges comes when disassembly is complete and what remains is a root canal system that has been perforated. What is the critical thinking required to solve such impediment to success? In this article, I am describing the management of a root perforation using absorbable collagen membrane as an internal […]
Retrieve and repair
As Endodontists our daily work is an adrenaline fuel because we face new challenges on a daily basis and each case requires a strategy to fix it. Strategy before any retreatment consists of reading very carefully the preoperative X-Ray, in order to explain to the patient what is the problem, prognosis ,number of visits, possibility […]
Management of ledge formation
The ledge, which is a deviation from the original canal curvature without communication with the periodontal ligament, is created when the working length can no longer be negotiated, and the original pathway of the canal has been lost. Ledge formation might lead to incomplete instrumentation and shaping, inadequate disinfection, and inadequate three-dimensional obturation of the root canal […]
Retreaty... The Retreatment Avengers
Nowadays the number of retreatment cases are increasing in front of primary treatments. That’s why we need some innovative tools to help us achieving our rationale in non-surgical retreatments. In this article, I will describe various aspects of the New Retreaty instruments designed by styleitaliano endodontics team and manufactured by Perfect Endo. Similar to primary […]
Conservative retreatment using RE TREATY
In this article we are introducing the RE-TREATY files for the retreatment of Maxillary Molar and we will show how the system combines the function of Cutting Efficiency & Flexibility to facilitate the Retreatment step in a conservative way.
Re-treatment nightmare
In our daily practice, we face a lot of difficulties in root canal treatment and re-treatment. Some of these difficulties may be due to the case itself, and others may happen during the procedure. Key factors to overcome such situations are identifying these difficulties and knowing how to deal with them.
Multiple errors retreatment
In this article i am presenting a case with multiple errors came symptomatic while biting. Lack of knowledge in the endodontic field may lead to some errors during the treatment if we are not having the right techniques combined with the right tools.
Retreaty Kit, for easier and predictable retreatments
The reason why we designed and developed ReTreaty kit, is because we felt the need to make the reatreatment procedure more predictable and easier. As StyleItaliano Endodontics we already shared the concept that a primary treatment should start since the beginning with rotary files for avoiding iatrogenic errors created by hand files. We transferred now […]
Retreatment of a central incisor with Essential Kit
Aim of endodontic therapy is to maintain or restore the periapical health of teeth through shaping, cleaning and filling tridimensionally the root canal system. Root canal treatment has proven to be a predictable procedure with a high success rate. Nevertheless, failures occur in 14-16% of primary endodontic treatments and retreatments account for approximately 30% of […]
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 or at least reduction of bacterial counts to levels compatible with peri-radicular tissue healing. To do so, the first thing to do is to carefully […]
Identifying & managing varied anatomy of palatal canal in a maxillary molar- a case report with two year follow up of retreatment of tooth number 16 with trifurcation in palatal canal.
Being aware of variations in the anatomy and configurations of root canal system is important in order to treat a tooth effectively endodontically. In 1967, the notion of a hermetic seal was introduced by Grossman. (1) When a canal or a split is missed, it may lead to unsuccessful treatment. The palatal root canal system […]
Thermafil carrier retrieval using a lasso technique
Endodontic treatment failure may occur due to numerous reasons, such as missed canal anatomy and insufficient disinfection, resulting in periapical infection. The use of cone beam computed tomography is invaluable in the diagnosis of periapical pathosis and neglected canals during initial endodontic treatment. Thermafil is an obturation material that comprises of alpha phase Gutta Percha […]
