A prospective in vivo investigation was conducted to determine radiographic and clinical factors associated with contemporary nonsurgical endodontic retreatments. Approximately 1,100 failing endodontically treated teeth were screened to determine an appropriate treatment plan. Using magnification, 337 consecutive retreatment cases were evaluated and treated. The vast majority of the retreated c...

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has emerged as a reliable bioactive material with extended applications in endodontics that include the obturation of the root canal space. This article examines the literature supporting MTA as a canal filling material, suggests methods for its delivery and placement, and presents clinical cases that demonstrate its effectiveness in resolving apical periodontit...

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...

For a restorative dentist as well as an Endodontist, the dental operating microscope offers a large number of benefits such as: improved diagnosis especially in case of cracked teeth; better visualization of pulp chamber, root canal orifices and calcifications present; identification of complex root canal systems; effective cleaning and shaping and its visualization thereafter; improved control...

Recognition of unusual variations in the canal configuration is critical because it has been established that the root with a single tapering canal and apical foramen is the exception rather than the rule. The early recognition of these configurations facilitates cleaning, shaping, and obturation of the root canal system. "C" configuration, which is an important anatomic variation, presents a t...

Relevance . Under study is based on the fact that every year number of patients with complicated forms caries increases, in addition, complexity a treatment manipulations, often leads to various errors and complications at all stages endodontic treatment. Aim To evaluate tightness root canal obturation depending selected technique antiseptic canals. Materials methods 40 teeth extracted due chro...

There are numerous examples reported in the literature that cite and document many disabling complications to the alveolar bone, neurovascular anatomy and maxillary sinus following overextension of root canal filling materials. Neural complications as a consequences of endodontic obturation as well as other server outcomes to overfill are a serious problem. These injuries require a thoughful st...

Pulp canal obliteration is defined as a deposition of hard tissue within the root canal space. These tissues can eventually p roduce the radiographic appearance of a root canal space that has become partial or completely ca lcified. Success in root canal treatment is based on proper debridement, disinfection and obturation of the root canal system Calcified root canal causes problem during endo...

This study evaluated the root-filling quality of a calcium silicate-based sealer and gutta percha (GP) cones by measuring the percentage of voids. Twenty artificial molar teeth were divided into two groups: one obturated using the single-cone (SC) technique, and the other using the continuous wave (CW) technique. Obturation was performed with GP cones and Endoseal MTA (mineral trioxide aggregat...
