Success in root canal treatment is achieved after thought cleaning and shaping followed by the complete obturation of root canal system. Such treatment may be performed in root canal systems that do not comply with the normal anatomical features described in standard textbooks. This article describes the conventional root canal treatment on an unusual mandibular second molar with four root-canals.

long-term success of endodontic treatment is precisely and completely dependent on adequate and appropriate cleaning and shaping of the root canal along with proper and correct obturation of the entire prepared space. this paper aims to report an exceptionally and novel non-surgical and orthograde endodontic therapy on maxillary right central incisor with an extensive radiolucent lesion. a 17-y...

accurate diagnosis of the root canal morphology and anatomy is essential for thorough shaping and cleaning of the entire root canal system and consequent successful treatment. this report describes a case of maxillary second premolar with two roots and three root canals (two mesial and distal palatal canals). the case report underlines the importance of complete knowledge about root canal morph...

BACKGROUND Successful root canal treatment depends on proper cleaning, disinfecting and shaping of the root canal space. Pulpless teeth have lower dentin microhardness value compared to that of vital teeth. A material which can cause change in dentin composition may affect the microhardness. Thus the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of two root canal sealers on dentin mi...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the cleaning efficacy of different final irrigation regimens in canal and isthmus of mandibular molars, and to evaluate the influence of related variables on cleaning efficacy of the irrigation systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mesial root canals from 60 mandibular molars were prepared and divided into 4 experimental groups according to the final i...

Success in root canal treatment is achieved after thorough cleaning, shaping, and obturation of the root canal system. This clinical case describes conventional root canal treatment of an unusual mandibular first molar with six root canals. The prognosis for endodontic treatment in teeth with abnormal morphology is unfavorable if the clinician fails to recognize extra root canals.

Results A 21 year old primigravid woman admitted to our clinic with suspicion of cervical incompetence at 22 weeks of gestation. She complained of light vaginal bleeding and a vaginal mass. She did not have any pain. Her past medical history was uneventful. A detailed abdominal 2D ultrasound scan was performed to verify the presence of the pregnancy and research for associated anomalies. The US...

The ratio of the sagittal diameter of the cervical canal to the corresponding diameter of the vertebral body has been described as a reliable means for assessing stenosis of the canal and detecting those at risk of cervical neuropraxia. The use of ratio techniques has the advantage of avoiding variation in magnification when direct measurements are made from plain radiographs. We examined the r...

The consequences of traumatic injuries are pulp necrosis, periapical inflammation, and possible external cervical resorption (ECR). concomitant cessation root maturation dentinogenesis in premature teeth result a fragile tooth. Revascularization the might be an alternative treatment option. A 12-year-old patient was referred for retreatment chronic apical periodontitis with acute exacerbation a...

The aim of this study was to assess qualitatively, by means of SEM images, the cleaning of the dentin walls of root canals after chemical-surgical preparation using Endo-PTC cream with 0.5% and 1% sodium hypochlorite and different final irrigating solutions. Seventy-two single-rooted human teeth were divided into eight groups and prepared using Endo-PTC cream with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) at...
