CASE REPORT This case report describes the outcome of a number of retreatments on a failed root filling in a maxillary first molar. The patient wanted all amalgams replaced by tooth-coloured Cerec restorations, including one in a symptomless maxillary molar. This tooth had a pulpotomy or a poorly done root-canal treatment 10 years earlier. The molar was root-canal retreated before placing the C...

Rapid palatal expansion(RPE) with the tooth-born appliance is not sufficient to apply to the patients with periodontal problem or insufficient tooth anchorage, and it leads to tipping of the anchorage teeth and increasing teeth mobility and root resorption. To avoid these disadvantages, we present the case using palatal screws and custommade palatal expander. A 23-year-old patient underwent sur...

UNLABELLED As is commonly understood, the root canal morphology of the maxillary molars is usually complex and variable. It is sometimes difficult to detect the distobuccal root canal orifice of a maxillary second molar with root canal treatment. No literature related to the distobuccal root canals of the maxillary second molars has been published. OBJECTIVE To investigate the position of the...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to investigate the root and canal morphology of maxillary first molars with regards to patients’ age and gender with cone-beam computed tomography (cbct). methods and materials: a total of 149 cbct scans from 92 (67.1%) female and 57 (31.3%) male patients with mean age of 40.5 years were evaluated. tooth length, presence of root fusion, number of the ...

the most difficult maxillary teeth for endodontic treatment are the maxillary first molars (mfm) due to their complex root canal anatomy. the presence of two roots and c-shaped canals in mfms has been reported in rare cases. the present case reports root canal treatment of mfm with two roots, where the palatal and buccal roots were joined together in a c-shaped configuration .

INTRODUCTION The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of 2% lidocaine to 4% articaine in buccal infiltration of maxillary first molars with irreversible pulpitis. Moreover, the effect of root length on success of anesthesia irrespective of the type of anesthetic agent was assessed. METHODS AND MATERIALS Fifty patients suffering from painful maxillary first molars with irrevers...

Introduction: The aim of this article was to emphasize the importance of variations in root canal anatomy. Methods: This case report presents the endodontic management of a maxillary first molar with c-shaped palatal canal bifurcating into two canals at the middle third and exiting from a single apical foramen. The canal morphology was confirmed with the aid of cone beam computerized tomography...

Objective The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the long-term effects of orthodontic traction on root length and alveolar bone level in impacted canines and adjacent teeth. Material and Methods Sample consisted of 16 patients (nine males and seven females), mean initial age 11 years and 8 months presenting with unilaterally maxillary impacted canines, palatally displaced, treate...

INTRODUCTION Various presentations of essential palatal myoclonus, a condition characterized by clicking noises and palatal muscle spasm, have been reported in the literature. We are reporting the first case of essential palatal myoclonus following dental treatment. CASE PRESENTATION A 31-year-old Caucasian man presented to our Ear, Nose and Throat department complaining of objective clicking...

The purpose of this study was to compare the mesio-distal and vertical position impacted maxillary canines on panoramic radiographs with labio-palatal root resorption adjacent teeth CBCT (ConeBeam Computed Tomography). A total 54 patients 69 were included in study. On radiographs, (Sector I - V), position, angulation evaluated. Labio-palatal evaluated CBCT. Labial impaction most frequent sector...
