Shaping the root canal System is a stressful step in the Endodontic treatment , but with development of protocols , devices & files  it’s no longer a headache to shape a canal , in this article we will go deep through Shaping Technique and the file metallurgy.  

Primary root canal treatments are not always straightforward. In cases where the pulp tissue has been exposed to different nocive stimuli for a long period of time, the endodontic space might alter and clinicians face obstacles and difficulties in finding the canal orifices, establishing glide path and shaping the endodontic system for an efficient disinfection. […]

“Even a dentist who is not confident with his obturation technique can easily obturate a root canal with warm gutta-percha as long as the root canal has been cleaned and shaped lege artis” Shilder 1987 This article will show the advantages of the MG3 Gold instruments and how can we customize the sequence of these […]

Following the access preparation and location of anatomy, the next challenge facing the endodontic clinician is to select the proper alloy and sequence for the shaping procedures in order to be able to safely and predictably shape the anatomy without any procedural errors. This article will show the advantages of the MG3 Gold instruments and […]

The development of various areas of dentistry requires precise study of morphology of human teeth so that better oral health can be provided. The mandibular molars play a principal role in mastication and help to maintain the vertical dimension of the face, continuity of the dental arch, maintaining the cheeks and tongue in their position […]

Shaping the root canal system using only mechanical files can be done in the majority of cases. When using this approach it is important to follow a precise strategy and to choose the right instruments, avoiding iatrogenic damages and file breakage. A careful pre operative analysis of the X-ray allows the clinician to understand the […]

Knowledge of both normal and abnormal anatomy of the root canal system dictates the parameters for execution of root canal therapy and can directly affect the outcome of the endodontic therapy. Missed extra roots and root canals are a major reason for failure of root canal treatment. The lower mandibular first molar normally has two […]

Following the access preparation and location of anatomy, the next challenge facing the endodontic clinician is to select the proper alloy and sequence for the shaping procedures in order to be able to safely and predictably shape the anatomy without any procedural errors. This article will show the advantages of the MG3 Blue instruments and […]

Canal negotiation sometimes can be very difficult or challenging, especially with narrow, secondary, or calcified canals. In this case of a maxillary molar, pulp chamber and canals were extremely calcified. A 35 years old female patient been referred to restore her upper right teeth. Pt complains of discomfort when food get trapped between her upper […]

Mostly in the molar teeth crown down technique is the most effective one in the terms of the root canal debridement. However in simplier cases combination of crown-down, rotary glide path and single length can be also very effective. This technique can be called a hybrid technique and will be described in this article.  Crown-down […]

The video shows the strategy to adopt in difficult cases

Correct endodontic treatment has to follow several parameters: proper diagnosis, isolation of operating field, full chemo-mechanical preparation of the complex endodontic system, three-dimensional obturation of the root canals and finally the post endodontic restoration. Respecting all these parameters, short- and long-term success can be achieved. Failure to follow the protocol in any of the above […]
