This is a rare case of amalgam allocation in an alveolar wound of an extracted third molar. During the extraction of a mandibular third molar to a 36-year-old woman, the adjacent mandibular second molar was broken. The dentist decided to put an amalgam filling to the mandibular second molar directly after the extraction and during the same appointment. The patient soon experienced an acute cont...

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 ...

AIM A case of unusual Root morphology is presented to demonstrate anatomic variations in mandibular third molar. BACKGROUND The most common configuration of mandibular third molar is two Roots and three canals; however they may have many different combinations. Endodontic treatment was performed in mandibular third molar having aberrant anatomy. CASE DESCRIPTION Four Root canal orifices wer...

The purpose of this study was to investigate canal configuration of mandibular first premolars in an Egyptian population. Two hundred fifty human extracted mandibular first premolars were collected from Egyptian patients and a small hole in the center of the occlusal surface of each tooth was made perforating the roof of the pulp chamber. Teeth were decalcified by immersing in nitric acid and d...

This study reports morphometric and age-related data of the mandibular canal and the alveolar ridge of the Göttingen Minipig to avoid complications during in vivo testing of endosseus dental implants and to compare these data with the human anatomy. Using 3D computed tomography, six parameters of the mandibular canal as well as the alveolar bone height and the alveolar ridge width were measured...

AIM To investigate the root canal morphology of mandibular incisors in a Jordanian population using a canal staining and tooth-clearing technique. METHODOLOGY Four hundred and fifty extracted mandibular incisors were collected from dental clinics within north Jordan. Following pulp tissue removal and staining of the canal systems, the teeth were decalcified with 5% nitric acid, dehydrated wit...

The mental foramen can be found in various locations, ranging from the root of the first lower premolar to the roots of the first molar. The anterior loop is described as the mental canal, which rises from the mandibular canal and runs outward, upward, and backward to open at the mental foramen. The knowledge of the location of the mental foramen and the existence of an anterior loop is importa...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of present study was to assess the surgical management of impacted third molar with proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve and complications associated with coronectomy in a series of patients undergoing third molar surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS The position of the mandibular canal in relation to the mandibular third molar region and mandibular foramen in the front pa...

this case report presents endodontic management of a mandibular lateral incisor with three canals using surgical dental operating microscope. this study describes the root canal variation of mandibular lateral incisor and highlights the importance of surgical operating microscope in detecting an unusual canal morphology.

Objective. To detect presence of MB2 canal in maxillary molars and distolingual canal in mandibular molars by Dental CT. Material and Methods. A retrospective study of 100 Dental CTs was done. Axial and paraxial images obtained were used to assess the presence of MB2 canal in maxillary molars and distolingual canal in mandibular molars. Results. The youngest patient was of 11 years while the el...
