Retreatment of teeth with a complex root system anatomy #1

Fig. 1

The patient 38y,male,was referred by the his doctor for NSRCT on tooth # 25.During addmision,PMF’s bridge was placed on abutment on teeth #24,#25 and #27 with pontic on tooth #26.Tooth #2.6 was extracted over 10 years ago.Patient didn’t any complaints,percussion-,swelling-,sinus tact-.One digital periapical radiograph was taken.Radiopaque area was identified on lateral side of roots #2.5,short obturations

Diagnosis:Previously treated 2.5,Asymptomatic apical periodontitis 2.5

Anesthesia was performed by STA Unit.Isolation was performed at split-dam technique.Diamond bur S6856.314.016(Komet) removed ceramic surface of PFM crowns and bur H34l.314.012(Komet) was used for cutting metal part of crown.

Examination of the pulp chamber with the surgical operating microscope revealed a mummified pulp tissue.The pulp tissue was removed with ultrasonic tip and endodontic explorer.The Buccal and Palatal canals were located.

Further examination showed that Buccal root had deep split-MB and DB rc.Bypass two ledges was performed by precurved C-Pilots(VDW) 06.02-10.02,K-File 15.02,20.02 with combination low speed handpiece M4(Sybron Endo).The canals were instrumened to WL to 15.02 K-File.The MB,DB and P canals were cleaned with E3 Azure(EndoStar) using crown-down technique to a size 30.04 and size 35.04,respectively.The canals were irrigated with 5,25% NaOCL,40% Citric Acid and RC-Prep was used for file lubrication.IrriFlex and EddY is the best choice for irrigation’s stage 

Paper points were used to dry tha canals

Obturation of the canals were completed by warm vertical compaction using AH Plus Root Canal Sealer to cat the guttapercha cones and canals walls.A heat source and pluggers were used to heat and compact the GP.The remaining canal space was backfilled with warm GP to the level of the canals orifices.Pulp chumber was cleaned with an alcohol+brush,drying,Air Flow.A dry cotton pellet was placed in the pulp chamber and the access cavity was sealed with IRM.Patient was finished treatment at his doctor
