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.

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...

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.

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...

objective: vertical root fracture (vrf) is among the most common causes of endodontic treatment failures. this study aims to compare charge-coupled devices (ccd) and photostimulable phosphor plates (psp) for detection of vertical root fractures in endodontically treated teeth.   methods: in this diagnostic in vitro study, 40 maxillary anterior teeth were selected and after preparation and root ...

abstract : horizontal root fractures in permanent teeth are uncommon injuries among dental traumas. the principle of treating horizontal root fractures of permanent teeth is repositioning and fixation of fractured segment. diagnosis of tooth fractures based on radiographic findings and the fracture healing process are affected by factors before and after injury. the present case reports the tre...

BACKGROUND Dilacerations is a tooth deformity characterized by an angulation between crown and root causing non-eruption of the tooth. It generally occurs following trauma to the deciduous dentition apices of which lie close to the permanent tooth buds. According to Neville, maxillary and mandibular incisors contribute only approximately to 1% of the incidence of dilacerated teeth. CASE DETAI...

We explored the relationship between growth in tooth root length and the modern human extended period of childhood. Tooth roots provide support to counter chewing forces and so it is advantageous to grow roots quickly to allow teeth to erupt into function as early as possible. Growth in tooth root length occurs with a characteristic spurt or peak in rate sometime between tooth crown completion ...

This case report describes an external apical root resorption resulted from the unusual root morphology of the neighbouring tooth. A 28-year-old female was referred to the department of endodontics with a complaint of intense pain in her maxillary second premolar tooth. The clinical and radiographical evaluation revealed an external apical resorption in the mesial root of the maxillary first mo...
