Successful endodontic practice requires complete knowledge about the various medical conditions and appropriateness in planning treatment as per the need with effective safety measures. This review focuses on a number of systemic complications encountered in endodontic practice and directions to be followed for avoiding potential complications. A detailed PubMed search was carried out using spe...

The aim of this study was to present a method for endodontic management of a maxillary first molar with unusual C-shaped morphology of the buccal root verified by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. This rare anatomical variation was confirmed using CBCT, and nonsurgical endodontic treatment was performed by meticulous evaluation of the pulpal floor. Posttreatment image revealed 3 inde...

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a recent three-dimensional (3D) radiographic imaging modality used for the accurate diagnosis, management and follow-up of endodontic problems. In tooth with open apex and periapical lesion, the use of new obturation material such as white mineral trioxide aggregate (wMTA) facilitates faster and more predictable closure of root apex and periapical healing...

Great attention has been given to the study of radiolucent periapical lesions to avert possible misdiagnosis of apical periodontitis associated with certain radiolucent non-endodontic lesions. However, there are a significant number of radiopaque lesions found in the periapical region, which could be equally relevant to endodontic practice. The diagnosis and management of these radiopaque/hyper...

This article provides an overview of the factors influencing the wound healing of oral soft tissues before, during, and after surgical endodontics. In more detail, the effects of flap design, handling of tissues, and wound closure are discussed.

during endodontic treatment, clinicians may face endodontic procedural mishaps such as broken instruments, which is a complex situation especially when the file breaks beyond the apex. this condition is associated with potential risk of contamination, which compromises the healing process. management of a broken instrument beyond the apex is difficult and time consuming and requires creativity ...

we report a rare case of a two-rooted maxillary central incisor, stressing the importance of three-dimensional imaging in treatment planning and conservative approach of management. endodontic treatment of this central incisor was carried out with a successful outcome.

Individuals affected by ectodermal dysplasia syndromes have abnormalities of the glands, tooth buds, hair follicles, and nail development. Oral finding in ectodermal dysplasia patient are significant and can include multiple abnormalities of the dentition such as anodontia, hy-podontia or malformed and widely spaced peg like teeth, loss of occlusal vertical dimension, protuberant lips and lack ...

Endodontic treatment approaches aim to achieve proper and prevention of apical periodontitis enhance the oral health status prognosis affected teeth. However, many complications can develop secondary endodontic treatment. The management post-treatment might be challenging clinicians, is usually lower than that primary periodontitis. Therefore, identifying potential etiology intervening against ...
