Inner wall Vs outer wall
This article is about showing the way of bypassing SI from both inner and outer wall, and which is correct in order to obtain satisfying outcome away from any unnecessary complications.
Trace every tract!
Sinus tract tracing, proper diagnosis, and patient education are all the big players involved in this tooth story!
It is no surprise that I find all of advanced diagnostic techniques, i.e.; cone beam scans for example, extremely useful to figure out the source of pain plaguing my patients, it’s worth investing my time and energy into the latest technology.
But keeping things old-school has its value too. Therefore, I would like to show you a case where a classic diagnostic method—sinus tract tracing—proved invaluable in my endodontic diagnosis.
Custom loop: Removing broken root canal instruments
Fracture of root canal instruments used in root canals is a common complication in endodontics. In this article, I will demonstrate the creation of a custom loop that can be used to retrieve a broken root canal instrument
Bending preservation of gutta-percha in lower first premolar with 3 canals
This article clarifies how to to bend gutta-percha cone and preserve this bending even if the temperature of the body can straighten the master cone in deep apical splitting of the canals.
Intracanal aspiration, an useful tool
During a root canal treatment, sometimes we need to remove liquids from the canals, for example during the irrigation procedure, in cases with abundant drainage o before to dry the canals with paper points.
The use of a microcanula connected to the equipment could help us to aspirate inside the canals.
This can be useful even to remove materials from root canal.
