Success of endodontic treatment requires the knowledge and morphology of root canal anatomy. Undetected additional canals in mandibular premolar is a common reason for endodontic failure. This presents with diagnostic difficulty and subsequent flare ups and poor prognosis. Location of additional canals is the key to successful endodontic management. This case report describes endodontic managem...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this systematic review was to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of nonsurgical retreatment with those of endodontic surgery to determine which modality offers more favorable outcomes. METHODS The study began with targeted electronic searches of MEDLINE, PubMed, and Cochrane databases, followed with exhaustive hand searching and citation mining for all ...

Dentists and patients are facing a perplexity between saving a compromised tooth through endodontic treatment and restoration or by extraction and replacement with an implant. The purpose of this paper was to compare the success rates of these two treatments. Success was measured as the longevity of the tooth or implant. Studies which met strict inclusion criteria to ensure best evidence were i...

A retrospective cohort study was carried out aiming to assess the success rate of endodontic treatment of patients from the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Pernambuco, Brazil. The dental records of the sampling comprised all patients treated in 1998 and 1999. Trials were standardized and a pilot study was carried out to determine the feasibility of the proposed study. Chi-square and Fisher'...

Knowledge of endodontic status (notably whether pulp has been replaced by dentine) is important in equine dentistry as it may give an indication of how much crown may be removed during clinical crown reduction before encountering vital pulp. This is important in conditions such as step-mouth where large (>5mm) crown reductions may be necessary. Knowledge of endodontic status (notably whether pu...

The success of endodontic therapy requires knowledge of the internal and external dental anatomy and its variations in presentation. This case report involves endodontic treatment of a traumatized maxillary central incisor with two separate roots.

Conventional endodontic treatment used to require multiple visits, but some clinicians have suggested that single-visit treatment is superior. Single-visit endodontic treatment and multiple-visit endodontic treatment both have their advantages and disadvantages. This paper is a literature review of the research on nonsurgical single-visit versus multiple-visit endodontic treatment. The PubMed d...

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...

The variations of anatomical and morphological characteristics of the teeth are very important for any practitioner. These differences in root morphology are influencing the success of the endodontic therapy and the long-term prognosis of the tooth, especially when it is an abutment for a prosthetic restoration. Before beginning an endodontic treatment, the clinician must take into account the ...
