Internal root resorption in permanent mandibular molar: A rare entity
Internal resorption is usually uncommon thing which starts from the root canal & destroy the tooth structure. It usually occurs as a result of a continuous chronic inflammatory process . Patient might come with a dull pain in that area .
Management of C shaped canal in mandibular second molar
C shaped root canal configuration is an aberrant canal anatomy, common in the mandibular second molars with prevalence ranging from 2.7% to 45.5% in different populations. Failure of fusion of Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath (HERS) onto the buccal or lingual root surface results in a conical or prism shaped root. This, together with thin inter-radicular ribbon-shaped […]
Molars anatomy Pt.2
The maxillary first molar is among the most anatomically complex teeth in the human dentition. Its intricate root canal system, particularly the variability of the mesiobuccal root, poses significant challenges for endodontic treatment. This review consolidates current literature on the external and internal morphology of the maxillary first molar, emphasizing the prevalence of additional canals, the clinical relevance of advanced diagnostic tools such as cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and the implications for endodontic therapy. Special attention is given to the second mesiobuccal canal (MB2), its detection, and its role in endodontic success.
Premolar Endodontics
Complex anatomies in premolars pose significant challenges in endodontic treatment. Their relatively small size coupled with variations such as additional canals require specialized techniques and instruments. Effective management of these complexities demands a thorough understanding of canal anatomy and mastery of advanced instrumentation and obturation techniques. This article covers strategies for navigating one such complex anatomy, ensuring successful treatment outcome and minimizing complications.
Management of nonsurgical retreatment and final restoration.
The management of nonsurgical retreatment has proven to be an effective alternative in dentistry for preserving natural teeth. Studies indicate that success rates may decline due to anatomical factors overlooked during the instrumentation phase of primary endodontic treatment, often complicating case resolution. However, despite these challenges, research supports an acceptable success rate for nonsurgical retreatment, […]
Decision making when dealing with broken instruments
The presence of a fractured instrument in a root canal is not, in itself, a cause of failure of the endodontic treatment. However, when this instrument prevents the complete disinfection and obturation of that root canal, the success rate of the treatment drops to 89 % in cases without a periapical lesion and to 47% […]
RCT Of A First Lower Molar with Five Canals And An Additional Distal Root
The chemomechanical preparation of the canal system is one of the most important phases of endodontic treatment and can be compromised in certain cases when performing a minimally invasive approach if several factors are not taken into account.By reducing the size of the instruments we will deform the canal less, creating a faster and more […]
Squirt Technique in Root Canal Obturation
Exploring the Squirt Technique for root canal obturation, its effectiveness, limitations, and the clinical application.
A Screw Post & Widened Apex Story
This is the story of retreatment and management of tooth number 21 where a screw post was placed in the canal without performing root canal treatment. Over a decade, the tooth also developed wide apex and periapical pathology and turned symptomatic.Post removal- During the management of this case, removal of screw post in the most conservative […]
Primary and Secondary root canal treatment using R One Mini reciprocating files by Fanta Dental
A 51 years old male complaining of sharp pain to cold and during eating in his lower left posterior teeth. After an accurate diagnosis, the case was managed with a minimally invasive reciprocating rotary system, R One Mini, by FANTA dental.
Pre endodontic build up importance
Endodontics, the branch of dentistry that deals with the treatment of the dental pulp and tissues surrounding the roots of a tooth, has advanced significantly in recent years. A critical aspect of this field is the pre-endodontic build-up, a procedure often necessary to ensure the success of root canal treatment. While it might seem like a routine step, its importance cannot be overstated. This article delves into the significance of pre-endodontic build-up, its benefits, and why it should be an integral part of every endodontic procedure.
