Endodontic treatment aiming to cure and prevent apical periodontitis to retain tooth as long as possible, functioning without symptoms. In order to achieve this, we must performed root canal preparation to reduce bacteria to the level that necessary, this mean we shape and clean the root canal system to its terminus.
But we need to bear in mind that in order to achieve long term predictability we also need to save tooth structure specially the PCD area in order tooth to withstand occlusal force for period of time
External inflammatory resorption (EIR) is present on the external surface of the root of majority of the teeth diagnosed with chronic apical periodontitis. EIR also affects teeth that suffer severe […]
Cracked teeth have always been a difficult problem. The rate of cracked teeth increased during the initial outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic; several studies provided evidence on the association between […]
The primary goal of root canal shaping is to create a continuously tapered, funnel-shaped canal while preserving the original anatomy. This is significantly harder to achieve in a curved canal […]
The incidence of MB2 and MB3 in upper first molars is low (Ronald Ordinola-Zapata et al., 2020), however one of the most common reasons for endodontic failures is missed anatomy […]
Three-rooted maxillary first premolars represent a significant anatomical variation and a considerable challenge in Endodontic practice. This article aims to analyze the clinical management strategies pertaining to this specific tooth […]
The introduction of implant dentistry, in some cases, eliminated the need for non-surgical endodontic retreatment as well as the need for apical surgery. Proverb says: «When you have a hammer, […]
This clinical case presents the nonsurgical endodontic retreatment of a mandibular first molar initially obturated with silver points. The tooth exhibited persistent periapical pathology and contained a missed, partially calcified […]
Modern endodontics emphasizes the importance of preserving natural tooth structure while achieving effective canal debridement. Conservative shaping of the root canal system is essential to maintain the original canal anatomy, […]
Three rooted upper first premolars are one of the most challenging anatomy variation. The aim of this article is to analyze prevalence, characteristics and management of this particular type of […]
