Capík I., S. Štvrtina: Comparison of Gutta-Percha Obturation Techniques in the Treatment of Wide Root Canals in Dogs. Acta Vet. Brno 2008, 77: 291-296. An in vitro study was conducted to compare gutta-percha obturation techniques of the developing incisors in dogs. Two perpendicular radiographic views were used for evaluation of apical and overall appearance of root canal obturation. Apical lea...

The present case report highlights about management of taurodontism which is a developmental anomaly characterized by the lack of constriction at the level of the cementoenamel junction, vertically elongated pulp chambers and apical displacement of the pulpal floor. Permanent molar teeth are commonly affected teeth. Its morphology might hamper the location of orifices and can create difficultie...

Recognition of aberrant root canal configurations is critical to successfully negotiate and treat a one such aberrancies C shape system. The fins webs present in system presents challenge debridement obturation. Knowledge variations through advanced imaging modalities like CBCT, rotary hand instruments assisted with ultrasonics modified obturation techniques aid effective management shaped cana...

Pulpal and periradicular pathosis are the result of microbial, mechanical, or chemical invasion. Microorganisms are the main irritants of pulpal and periapical tissues. The goal of the obturation is to obtain a fluid-tight seal of the root canal system from its coronal aspect through its apical extent to preserve from the irritants.. Root apices have morphological irregularities in teeth with p...

This clinical trial focused on collating the instrumentation time and quality of root canal obturation in primary molars treated with three techniques: adaptive, rotary, manual. A triple-armed, randomized controlled was performed 75 requiring pulpectomy treatment, divided into groups (n = 25 per group). The teeth Group 1 were instrumented an adaptive technique (XP-endo Shaper, FKG Dentaire, La ...

Background: Inadequate seal at the apex is substantial cause for surgical endodontic dissatisfaction. The retrograde filling material which used should prevent egress of potential contaminants into periradicular tissue.
 Objectives: To evaluate ability MTA Angelus, Zirconomer and Bioactive bone cement to root end as material; compare sealing these three different materials with apices rese...

the aim of this study was to introduce modified continuous wave compaction (mcwc) technique and compare its obturation quality with that of lateral compaction (lc), warm vertical compaction (wvc) and continuous wave compaction techniques (cwc). the obturation time was also compared among the four techniques.sixty-four single-rooted teeth with 0-5° root canal curve and 64 artificially created ro...

Long-term success of endodontic treatment is strictly dependent on proper shaping and cleaning of the root canal system followed by obturation of entire prepared space. Anatomical variations should be considered during radiographic and clinical evaluation as parts of endodontic treatment. A mandibular premolar with three canals is quite rare and such a tooth requires special canal preparation a...

Three clinical cases involving teeth with open apices and apical periodontitis were treated using different protocols. The first case was managed with intracanal calcium hydroxide paste for 12 months before obturation with gutta-percha and sealer. In the second case, an apical plug of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) was used before obturation with gutta-percha and sealer and treatment was comp...
