Silver points retreatment
In this article, I will discuss the retrieval of Silver Point Cones using the grasping technique
Locating the calcified - Shaping the narrow
Narrow canal is a great challenge to Endodontist, When combined with calcified entrance the difficulty doubled. Preoperative assessment to the periapical radiograph would help in avoiding many errors that could happen if case is underestimated. In this article we’ll describe how we overcome the challenge using the correct technique and the right tools.
Last check of the working length
Working lenght (WL) is a controversial topic in Endodontics but, fortunately, Clinicians and Authors agree about respecting it as much is possible during the entire endodontic treatment. WL is the distance from a coronal reference point to the point at which canal preparation and filling should terminate. The respect of an accurate WL determination during […]
Conservative treatment of an upper molar
