C-shaped root canals are most frequently seen in the mandibular second molar. Their complex anatomy makes chemomechanical preparation an arduous and difficult task. The present case series describes the endodontic management of 3 cases of Cshaped canals using sonic irrigation system and laser assisted disinfection.

The root canal anatomy of mandibular incisors can present a number of variations, including multiple canals. Two case reports are presented to illustrate the serendipitous discovery and successful non-surgical endodontic management of complex canal systems in mandibular incisors. In both cases, all four mandibular incisors had two canals each.

Successful endodontic management of mandibular first molar with a single root and single canal is diagnosed with the aid of dental operating microscope and multiple angled radiographs. In addition all the mandibular molars and premolars were single rooted on either side.

introduction: pain or swelling caused by various stages of inflammation/infection of the pulp/periradicular area is called endodontic emergencies. determining the most effective method of emergency treatment is a challenging issue in endodontics. the goal of this study was to determine and compare the level of knowledge in general dentists and endodontists about endodontic emergency treatment p...

root canal anatomy diversity and aberrations are common especially in permanent dentition. a thorough understanding of the basic root canal anatomy and its diversities are necessary for successful endodontic treatment. mandibular second premolars are usually single-rooted and have one root canal. incidence of three separate root canals in this tooth is quite rare and taurodontism with three sep...

OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were to investigate the presence of Enterococcus faecalis in primary endodontic infections and failed endodontic treatments using real-time PCR and to determine the statistical importance of the presence of E. faecalis in a Turkish population with endodontic infections. MATERIAL AND METHODS E. faecalis was investigated from 79 microbial samples collected from ...
