Partial Necrosis of a Root Canal System
A white male patient was referred for a root canal treatment on seemingly necrotic first right lower molar tooth #46. Patient was exhibiting episodes of pain from time to time that started few days ago. Intra Oral examination showed a sinus tract on the buccal aspect of the gum facing first molar #46.No probing was […]
Tactic and strategy for curved, narrow and difficult canals
The video shows the strategy to adopt in difficult cases
Management of the apical inflammatory root resorption
Apical inflammatory root resorption (AIRR) is one of the challenges that can happen during root canal treatment. Mostly it is associated with apical periodontis, but can occur after traumas, orthodontic treatment, autotransplantation or can be associated with idiopatic factors. One of the most common factors that is present in teeth with AIRR is intracanal infection. […]
PREXO: The perfect plugger for apical third compaction.
During apical third compaction while using warm vertical obturation techniques , we need a smart plugger with perfect size to fit the small area apically without touching the root walls and perform efficient vertical compaction for the apical gutta-percha plug ,Thanks to the round and smooth edges of PREXO plugger that allow us to do […]
Retreatment of a Maxillary First Molar using MG3 files
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 […]
Controlled preparation of the Endodontic Access Cavity
The access cavity must make the succeeding steps easier and safer. It must therefore meet the following requirements Permit the removal of all the chamber contents Permit complete, direct vision of the floor of the pulp chamber and the canal openings Facilitate the introduction of canal instruments into the root canal openings Provide access as […]
Smart Endo Kit and Sandwich Technique
It was lovely to use my Smart Endo kit on a difficult Endo case. An External/Internal resorption on upper central incisor was treated using the MTA Sandwich Technique.
The rationale use of Smart Endo Kit in projecting and doing the access cavity on tooth 4.7
Clinicians are aware that, in endodontics, the access cavity phase is the first mandatory step to achieve the success of the therapy. A correct project, with the right instruments, allows a quicker and easier realization of the access.
The advantages of the prebent explorer in negotiating calcified orifices
Explora is a new flexible explorer designed by Style Italiano Endodontics that allow us to negotiate hidden canals especially, in the mesial orifices of the molars.
Deal with it!
Extendo is a really versatile instrument, especially when anatomy is complicated! This video shows a three rooted upper premolar and its 3d obturation using a bc sealer and just tips of GP points.
Managing a slightly calcified maxillary molar: Step by step with the Smart Endo Kit
Pulp canal obliteration or calcific metamorphosis is a pulpal response to trauma characterized by a rapid deposition of hard tissue within the canal space. It can occur as a result of chronic trauma like attrition or abrasion. In cases where endodontic treatment is needed, canal location and further instrumentation presents a great challenge to the […]
Endodontic treatment of a severely worn premolar
Sometimes endodontics is the first answer to the needs of our patients, in particular when they come to our practice because they feel pain. Apart from freeing the patient from pain, the aim of endodontic treatment is to shape the root canal system, put in action an efficient disinfection protocols and to hermetically obturate the canal […]
