This paper describes the detailed anatomy and micromorphology of the vegetative parts of Piper sarmentosum Roxb. (synonym, P. lolot C.DC.), which is a southeast Asian medicinal plant valued for its medicinal and culinary uses. The study also compares the anatomy of the leaf, petiole, stem and root of P. sarmentosum with those of the well-characterized P. betle L. The leaves of both the species ...

the aim of this case report was to describe the clinical management of an unusual dens invaginatus type 3. a case of dens invaginatus in a maxillary lateral incisor with a periapical lesion is reported. the patient presented with pain and localized swelling. despite the complex anatomy and diagnosis of dens invaginatus, non-surgical root canal treatment was performed successfully. key learning ...

The present study aims to investigate the anatomical characters of thin and thick root and to confirm the physicochemical characters of the root. Anatomical st...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate root canal anatomy of mandibular first molars (MFM) in a selected Iranian Population using clearing technique. METHODS AND MATERIALS A total of 150 extracted MFMs were cleared. The root canal morphology (including the root numbers and root length) and the anatomy of the root canal system (including is the number and type of canals based on Ve...

background and aims. it is critical to have a proper knowledge of the normal anatomy of the pulp and its variations for the success of endodontic treatment. the aim of this study was to determine the canal configuration and the prevalence of c-shaped canals in mandibular first and second premolars in a north-western iranian population. materials and methods. a total of 163 extracted mandibular ...

presence of extra roots and canals should be considered before initiation of root canal treatment for the success of endodontic treatment. a mandibular second premolar with three separate roots is very rare and its prevalence has been reported to be around 0.1%. this case report explains non-surgical endodontic treatment of a mandibular second premolar with three separate roots and three separa...

OBJECTIVE A detailed knowledge of root canal anatomy is a prerequisite for successful endodontic treatment. Such information is highly dependent upon the ethnicity of the population of interest. Lack of sufficient national information concerning internal anatomy can lead clinicians to increase their rate of treatment success. The aim of this study was to evaluate external root morphology and ro...

dens invagination is a developmental anomaly requiring specific treatment approaches. oehler's type iii dens in dente, extends into the root and perforates at the apical area or lateral surface of the root. in this case endodontic treatment of the invaginated tooth was carried out through the central lumen of the invagination with calcium hydroxide without manipulation of the main pulp canal, t...

Careful management of the resected root end during endodontic surgery is critical to the overall success of the case. After resection, the root structure presents with multiple anatomical variations and considerations at both a macroscopic and microscopic level. These include root outline, canal anatomy, dentinal tubule configuration, presence of a smear layer and root canal filling material. P...
