Endodontics as a Strategy to Postpone Implant Placement: A Seven-Year Follow-Up of Two Maxillary Incisors Affected by Root Resorption
A Longitudinal Clinical Case Report Introduction Pathological root resorption is an odontoclast-mediated process that can progressively compromise radicular integrity and tooth prognosis. Its management requires accurate diagnosis, assessment of remaining […]
Maxillary second molar with MB2 root canal system : an unusual variation
Maxillary second molars are often challenging to treat due to their limited accessibility and frequent variations in root canal anatomy. Early identification of additional canals is crucial for complete disinfection […]
Radix entomolaris
Radix entomolaris is an anomaly characterized by an extra third root located distolingually in lower molar tooth. It brings significant challenges in endodontic treatment due to its complex curvature and potential for missed canals.
Demystifying vertical root fractures
What signs can help us in the vertical root fracture diagnosis?
S-shaped root canals – a case report
S-shaped root canals can be one of the most challenging anatomies in endodontics. In this case, a careful treatment approach allowed us to manage a severe multiplanar curvature while preserving […]
Bioceramic Sealer: “new” approach for obturation technique.
Bioceramic cements have gained increasing popularity in endodontics due to their excellent biological and sealing properties.These materials are mainly composed of calcium silicate and are characterized by their biocompatibility and […]
Endodontic Management of Type II Dens Invaginatus in a Maxillary Lateral Incisor Using: A Case Report
Dens invaginatus is a developmental anomaly characterized by invagination of the enamel organ into the dental papilla before calcification, resulting in highly variable internal anatomy. The complexity of the root […]
Five Canals, One Tooth: A Microscope-Assisted Endo-Resto Case
This case report presents the endodontic and restorative management of a mandibular molar with an unexpected middle distal canal. Five canals were successfully shaped, disinfected using combined sonic and ultrasonic activation, and obturated with a warm modified technique, followed by a conservative restorative workflow culminating in an adhesive overlay.
Three-rooted maxillary premolars: an uncommon anatomical variation.
Three-rooted maxillary premolars represent an uncommon but clinically important anatomical variation. The maxillary first premolar most frequently presents with two roots, while the occurrence of three separate roots is considerably […]
The Importance of Access Cavity Design in Endodontic Treatment
Provides Straight Line Access is mandatory.
A properly designed access cavity provides straight line access to the root canals, facilitating efficient and controlled canal shaping. This reduces unnecessary stress and torsional forces on endodontic instruments, thereby minimizing the risk of instrument separation during root canal treatment.
Nonsurgical Root Canal Treatment with an Apical Plug in a Patient on Active Oral Bisphosphonate Therapy with Root Resorption
Nonsurgical root canal treatment with an apical plug to avoid extraction in a patient on active oral bisphosphonate therapy and root resorption.
Expect the unexpected : Four canals in mandubular premolar
According to Vertucci, mandibular premolars have one single canal in approximately 74% of the cases. On occasion, mandibular premolars have two canals, in around 25.5%, but higher numbers are very […]
