Successful root canal therapy requires a thorough knowledge of root anatomy and root canal morphology which may be quiet variable. The significance of internal root canal morphology has been emphasized by studies demonstrating that variations in canal morphology may affect the endodontic outcome. Consequently, in treating each tooth the clinician must assume that complex anatomy occurs often en...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to identify the number of root canals and examine root canal morphology of permanent mandibular incisors in an Indian sub-population of Pune, Maharashtra, India using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIAL/METHODS This study was conducted at Elite CBCT & Dental Diagnostics, Pune. One hundred mandibular incisors were evaluated for the number of root,...

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 root canal a...

Anatomical variation in the number of roots and root canals can occur in any tooth. Aberrant morphology of the root canal system may hinder cleaning and shaping procedures, leading to failure of endodontic treatment. The aim of this paper is to show one an example of root canal anatomical variation. Mandibular canines usually have one root with a centrally located root canal; however, anatomica...

In this study, curved maxillary molar root canals were instrumented with RaCe rotary system to evaluate: 1. the occurrence of canal transportation using a radiographic platform; 2. the action of the instruments on the dentin walls, centering ability and canal enlargement by analysis of digital images; and the percentage of regular dentin surfaces and debris within the canal by histological anal...

taurodontism is a morphologic feature of generally multi-rooted teeth with large pulp chambers and shortened roots. a case of endodontic treatment in a 24-year-old male with the chief complaint of swelling and pain in the right mandibular region is described. periapical lesion was present in the radiographic examination of hypertaurodont second mandibular molar. four root canals were detected w...

objectives : cleaning and shaping of the root canal system is an important step in endodontic therapy. new instruments incorporate new preparation techniques that can improve the efficacy of cleaning and shaping. the aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of mtwo and race rotary file systems in straightening the canal curvature using only one file or the conventional method. materials an...

introduction: the purpose of this ex vivo study was to determine the releasing characteristics and doxycycline dentinal diffusion of ah26 sealer-doxycycline combination from apical 3mm of tooth root and apical foramen . materials & methods: one-hundred and two recently extracted single-rooted human teeth were decoronated and prepared with #3 and #4 gates-glidden drills and rotary mtwo files. sm...

conclusions when gaseous ozone was used alone in root canals, its antifungal effect was not sufficient. however, applying aqueous ozone with ultrasonic technique showed stronger antifungal effects than aqueous ozone with manual technique in root canals. background candida albicans is one of the important microorganism which can be isolated from normal flora in the mouth. the resistance of c. al...
