A Screw Post & Widened Apex Story
This is the story of retreatment and management of tooth number 21 where a screw post was placed in the canal without performing root canal treatment. Over a decade, the tooth also developed wide apex and periapical pathology and turned symptomatic.Post removal- During the management of this case, removal of screw post in the most conservative […]
Magnification & Ultrasonics: the perfect marriage
The piezoelectric ultrasonics have the potential to become routinely incorporated into almost every component of endodontic treatment, re-treatment, and apical microsurgery.
It is already indispensable as a precise tool with which the most challenging clinical situations, such as finding hidden root canals and
removing root canal obstructions, can be done with relative ease, predictability, and conservancy.
In this article, I will explain some of the uses of ultrasonics in conventional nonsurgical endodontics.
NSRCT for lower first molar with Radix Entomolaris
Radix Entomolaris (RE) is a major anatomical anomaly in the mandibular first molar represented by a third root that is located disto-lingually. The prevalence of RE is different in different populations; ranging from 3% in African people to even more than 40% in Mongolian traits (De Moor et al. 2004). Root canal treatment of lower […]
Endodontic management of a mandibular first molar with pulp stone obliterating the floor of pulp chamber – a case report.
The goals of an endodontic treatment are to prevent and intercept the process of pulpal/ peri radicular pathosis and to also prevent its reinfection after the treatment. For achieving this, a good diagnosis of the case, followed by chalking out a feasible and appropriate treatment plan and its execution is important. Starting from good clinical […]
