invasive cervical resorption is a condition that affects the root surface area below the epithelial attachment. multiple treatment modalities are advocated, involving exposure of the invasive defect, removal of the granulation tissue and sealing with various restorative materials. this report demonstrates conservative treatment of a patient presenting with peri-apical periodontitis in upper rig...

the aim of this study was to report the endodontic management of right maxillary central incisor having two canals with vertucci canal configuration type iv . internal morphology of root canals is variable and often complex. therefore, to achieve a technically satisfactory endodontic outcome, the clinician must have adequate knowledge of the internal canal morphology and its variations in order...

in endodontics, treatment of an open apex tooth with necrotic pulp is a problem. it seems that with promotion of remnants of hertwig’s epithelial sheath or rest of malassez accompany with a good irrigation of root canal we can expect root formation.

background. maximum sealing ability or adhesion of endodontic sealers can be achieved after an effective removal of smear layer. endodontic irrigants assist in adequate removal of smear layer and thus improve the retention mechanism. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two different root canal irrigating solutions (5.25% naocl followed by 17% edta and qmix) on the apical sealing...

this case report presents an uncommon case of maxillary molar with two palatal root canals and an enamel pearl in the furcation area. the article discusses root canal complexities of maxillary second molars as well as possibility of coexisting anomalies in the region that makes radiographic interpretation difficult and compromises the success of endodontic treatment.

materials and methods: one hundred and thirty five mesial root canals of mandibular first and second molar teeth were selected. access cavities were prepared. after inserting a k-file size #10 into each canal, radiographs were taken. canal curvature was determined by measuring the schneider angle, canal access angle, as well as the canal radius, length, height and curvature starting distance on...

objectives: this study aimed to assess the radicular wall thickness in mandibular incisors with two canals and find the maximum and minimum thickness to prevent root canal treatment (rct) procedural errors. materials and methods: a total of 160 extracted mandibular incisors were selected and radiographed; out of which, 55 had two canals. three parallel transverse sections were made in each toot...
