Managing Calcified Canals: Techniques and Strategies for Successful Endodontic Treatment
A 32-year-old man with a symptomatic maxillary right central incisor came to the private clinic. The patient reported that the incisor had been traumatized previously. The medical history was nonsignificant, […]

Maxillary Central incisor
Use of C-Handle in daily practice
Having an optimal view of the operative field is one of the most obvious, but at the same times most important, aspects to keep into consideration while doing an endodontic […]
Finding the MB2 canal
In this clinical case I want to emphasize the importance of the instruments and the impact they give us during endodontic treatments, which are often complicated where the help of […]
Ledge detection and bypass with Explora after broken file removal
The success of Endodontic retreatment is multifactorial and will depend on the degree of root canal morphology alteration. Irreversible iatrogenic errors such as large perforations or canal transportation will decrease […]
Essential kit: how to use it in practice
“Simplexity” is a possible relation between complexity and simplicity. The ultimate sophistication in Endodontics using a Simplified Multiple File Technique
Treatment of a C shaped canal of a mandibular second molar
Mandibular second molars are known to have a complex root canal anatomy with anastomosis, resulting in some difficulties during root canal treatment, especially for the complete debridement of organic tissues […]
A synopsis about the first phases of canal shaping
After the last articles, by Fabio Gorni, Massimo Giovarruscio and Enrico Cassai, it is important to make a point of preflaring, scouting and glide-path preparation, the first phases of canal […]
Glide Path Management: tips and tricks
“…I’ve often said on stage that I have two things to teach for the rest of my life and one is Endodontic Access Cavity Preparation and the other is Glide […]
The working length
After having realized a minimally invasive access cavity and removed the coronal interferences (preflaring) the next step is passed to the scouting of the apical third canal as described in […]
Scouting The Root Canal
As discussed on the previous article, the manual preflaring creates a glide path for safer use of hand files and NiTi rotary instrumentation. Canal scouting is the first phase of […]
