An interdisciplinary approach to dental treatment enables successful clinical outcomes and allows for the long-term functionality of seemingly hopeless teeth. A crucial stage in tooth preservation is the development of a treatment plan, which must be scientifically and clinically justified.   When formulating the plan, three key elements involved in the preservation process must be […]

The mechanical preparation of the root canal system is generally acknowledged as one of the most crucial stages in root canal treatment (1). Many in vitro studies, including those of Weine et al. and Glickman & Dumsha, have described that the instrumentation of root canals can result in iatrogenic errors such as instrument fractures, transportation, […]

The major challenge associated with endodontic treatment of teeth with open apices is achieving a three-dimensional fluid-tight seal of the root canal system. In the absence of a natural apical constriction, it is imperative to create an apical barrier and allow three-dimensional adaptation of obturating material to the root canal system. The case presented here […]

The mandibular first molar usually exhibits two roots and three canals; however, anatomical variations are frequently encountered. According to Vertucci’s classification, the distal root most commonly exhibits Type I (a single canal) but may also present complex configurations such as Type II, IV, or VIII when multiple canals exist. The incidence of a third distal […]

In endodontics, the terms "radix entomolaris" and "paramolaris" refer to specific anatomical variations of the roots of molar teeth, particularly in relation to their root canal systems. Identifying a radix ento/paramolaris is crucial for successful endodontic therapy, as failure to locate and treat all root canals can lead to treatment failure and persistent apical periodontitis. […]

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 microscope and Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation (PUI), both canals were cleaned and sealed with bioceramic sealer. The 12-month follow-up confirmed the patient was asymptomatic, demonstrating significant […]

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 executed restoration is essential for the protection of the remaining tooth structure, preventing fracture, and avoiding reinfection. Additionally, it ensures the tooth’s long-term functionality and […]

Dilacerated roots pose endodontic challenges; careful imaging, flexible instruments, and meticulous technique ensure predictable treatment outcomes.

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.

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 Fanta Dental stand out for their unique balance of flexibility, cutting efficiency, and safety. Rising files allow clinicians to navigate even the most complex root […]

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. Glide path creation is crucial, often using small, flexible hand files (e.g., #08 or #10 K-files) with a watch-winding motion. Nickel-titanium rotary or reciprocating instruments […]
