Endodontic Retreatment of a Bifurcated Mandibular Second Premolar with 12-Month Follow-up
A case of successful retreatment of a mandibular second premolar (FDI: 35) with chronic apical periodontitis, caused by a missed lingual canal (Vertucci Type IV bifurcation). Utilizing a dental operating […]
Primary Endo treatment & final restoration
The success of Endodontic treatment relies not only on the proper cleaning and disinfection of the root canal but also in the adequate restoration of the treated tooth. A well […]
THE CURVE CONUNDRUM: ENDODONTIC MANAGEMENT OF A DILACERATED THIRD MOLAR
Dilacerated roots pose endodontic challenges; careful imaging, flexible instruments, and meticulous technique ensure predictable treatment outcomes.
Biological Approach to Revitalization in Immature Permanent Teeth: No-instrumentation Technique
A paradigm shift is happening in treating immature, necrotic permanent teeth - from traditional apexification to regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs). While conventional root canal therapy yields high success in mature teeth, immature teeth pose greater challenges. REPs, leveraging tissue engineering and the regenerative potential of Hertwig’s Epithelial Root Sheath (HERS) and Stem Cells of the Apical Papilla (SCAP), offer a biological approach that promotes continued root development and functional restoration. This case report presents a successful REP in an immature necrotic tooth, with clinical and radiographic outcomes over 30 months.
Respecting the curves with Rising
Endodontic success relies heavily on the ability to shape root canal systems with precision, minimal risk, and maximum conservation of original anatomy. Among modern instruments, the Rising endodontic files by […]
Dealing with severely curved canals in lower molar
Managing severely curved canals in endodontics requires careful planning and technique to prevent complications such as ledging, transportation, or instrument separation. Preoperative radiographs and CBCT imaging help assess curvature severity. […]
Healing of the periapical lesion
When pulpal disease progresses into the periapical region of the tooth, it causes disease of pariradicular tissues. If endodontic treatment is done properly, it heals periapical lesions. Irrigation and activation with proper irrigants decrease the bacterial load from the canal space and initiate healing.
Surgical Extrusion of upper lateral incisor with oblique fracture
Crown-root fractures extending subgingivally pose significant restorative challenges and often threaten tooth preservation. Surgical extrusion is a conservative technique that repositions the remaining tooth structure coronally, facilitating optimal restorative margins while maintaining periodontal health. This case report presents the management of an upper lateral incisor with an oblique fracture treated successfully by surgical extrusion. The procedure involved atraumatic repositioning of the tooth, careful stabilization, and subsequent restoration. Follow-up demonstrated favorable periodontal healing, functional stability, and satisfactory esthetics. This case underscores the clinical value of surgical extrusion as a predictable, tooth-preserving treatment option in selected cases of complicated crown-root fractures.)
Endo restorative rehabilitation with fiber post of a lower premolar
In post endodontic restorations with post, the choice of the post is extremely important because we need to select the biggest post that fits into the root canal without touching […]

The main goal of endodontic treatment is to prevent and treatment of apical peridontitis , through proper shaping ,cleaning , obturation of the root canal system . Negotiation of the […]
Single-Visit Management of a Dens Invaginatus Case
Dens invaginatus, also referred to as dens in dente, is a rare developmental dental anomaly resulting from an infolding of the enamel organ into the dental papilla during the morphodifferentiation […]
