This approach focuses on retreating only the specific canal(s) associated with persistent infection or radiographic pathology, while leaving unaffected, well-obturated canals untouched.

It offers a minimally invasive alternative that preserves tooth structure, avoids unnecessary disruption of posts or restorations, and reduces treatment time and patient discomfort.

Selective retreatment requires precise diagnosis, careful case selection, and the use of modern technologies such as CBCT and magnification.

 Teeth discolorations can be extrinsic or intrinsic. The first type is usually caused by food, drinks, smoking and other substances that lead to the deposit of stains on the enamel. […]

A substantial portion of clinical dental practice comprises endodontic and restorative procedures. Among these, quadrant rehabilitation frequently presents as a common and complex clinical challenge. During quadrant rehabilitation, the replacement […]

External cervical resorption is often silent, yet treatment planning becomes complex when a subgingival lesion is close to the root canal space. In such cases, the clinical view may underestimate the defect. CBCT provides the information required to define the portal of entry, height, circumferential spread and relationship with the canal.

This case report presents the management of an asymptomatic tooth 44 in a 62-year-old female patient, diagnosed with a Patel 2A external cervical resorption lesion. Treatment combined surgical exposure, removal of fibrovascular resorptive tissue, adhesive repair of the defect and single-visit root canal treatment after identification of a second lingual canal.

Successful endodontic treatment relies on effective cleaning and shaping while preserving the original root canal anatomy. Heat-treated nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments have enhanced the safety and predictability of root canal preparation, […]

Overextended root canal fillings beyond the apical foramen can lead to persistent symptoms and periapical inflammation. This article discusses a retreatment case involving a maxillary anterior tooth, where the previous gutta-percha obturation was extended beyond the apex. The case was managed using H-file mechanical removal and obturation with bioceramic putty. Radiographic images demonstrate pre- and post-treatment conditions with clear clinical resolution.

Regenerative Endodontic Treatment of an Open Apex with Pulp Necrosis

The joint workshop of the AAP (American Academy of Periodontology) and the EFP (European Federation of Periodontology) reaffirmed that positioning the restorative margin within the fibers of the supracrestal connective […]

Gemination in lower premolars is a very rare condition. This aspect makes it difficult to treat and it should be approached by an endodontist using a microscope to ensure proper debridement, disinfection and obturation.

How a good analysis and a efficient protocol can turn and complex case into success.

Modern endodontics increasingly demands instruments that combine efficient cutting with respect for dentine and canal anatomy, especially in complex maxillary molars. Chameleon Dual Shaper files by DENCO were developed to […]

Canal curvatures is a difficult anatomical variation. Calcifications as well. Long roots make treatment complicated. What if all these challenges coincide. We need a simple, feasible and effective protocol to […]
