materials and methods: one hundred and thirty five mesial root canals of mandibular first and second molar teeth were selected. access cavities were prepared. after inserting a k-file size #10 into each canal, radiographs were taken. canal curvature was determined by measuring the schneider angle, canal access angle, as well as the canal radius, length, height and curvature starting distance on...

OBJECTIVE This study was designed to investigate the long-term results using the technique of canal wall up mastoidectomy and reconstruction of the posterior canal wall using bone pâté and auricular cartilage in the treatment of chronic otitis media with cholesteatoma.

BACKGROUND A mastoid cavity resulting from a canal wall down mastoidectomy can result in major morbidity for patients due to chronic otorrhea and infection, difficulty with hearing aids and vertigo with temperature changes. Mastoid obliteration with reconstruction of the bony external ear canal recreates the normal anatomy to avoid such morbidity. Few have the studied the quality of life benefi...

In dealing with the treatment of these conditions I propose to devote my time chiefly to the methods of treatment of stenosis and inflammation of the lachrymal passages, passing quickly over those of congenital or traumatic origin. 1. Congenital.?The most frequent cause is obstruction at the lower end owing to a mass of epithelial cells situate at the nasal opening. This results in the formatio...

Abstract Background Cholesteatoma is an atticoantral disease that potentially causes life-threatening complications. Therefore, canal wall down mastoidectomy a well-established technique to eradicate the disease, especially in extensive cholesteatoma. Aim To evaluate status of dry ear and hearing outcome post-retrograde mastoidectomy. Methods A retrospective study patients with cholesteatoma wh...
