the present report reviews the diagnostic and treatment challenges of a mandibular molar with previous root canal treatment and signs of a procedural mishap, i.e. furcal radiolucency and localized swelling of the gingival margin in which a sinus tract was present. by tracing the sinus tract, it became evident that the lesion originated from the furcation area, not the root apices. this case was...

root perforations are an undesired complication of endodontic treatment which result in loss of integrity of the root, and adversely affect the prognosis of the treatment. recently, iranian mineral trioxide aggregate (root mta) has been introduced as an ideal material for perforation repair. in this article a successful repair of strip root perforation of mandibular molar using root mta is pres...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of two electronic apex locators (smarpex and novapex) in detecting apical perforation. materials and methods: after access cavity preparations, the working length was determined by the first examiner before and after perforation with a stereomicroscope by introducing a k-file size 10 into the canal and size 25 k-file up to the per...

internal resorption is rare in permanent teeth. treatment is usually performed through warm gutta-percha technique. if the resorptive process perforates the root, treatment may be more difficult and is usually performed via surgical approach. non-surgical repair of a perforating internal root resorption with mta was conducted in this case. before repairing the resorption, a master gutta-percha ...

Root perforations are an undesired complication of endodontic treatment which result in loss of integrity of the root, and adversely affect the prognosis of the treatment. Recently, Iranian mineral trioxide aggregate [Root MTA] has been introduced as an ideal material for perforation repair. In this article a successful repair of strip root perforation of mandibular molar using Root MTA is pres...

Tooth root perforation is an artificial communication between the oral environment and the supporting structures in the external root surfaces which may causes serious implications that can even lead to extraction, however if diagnosed early and with appropriate management of the perforation will lead to long term survival of the tooth. A PubMed search was carried out of which 121 results were ...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare the accuracy of conventional intraoral (CI) radiography, photostimulable phosphor (PSP) radiography, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) for detection of strip and root perforations in endodontically treated teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mesial and distal roots of 72 recently extracted molar were endodonticall...

Aim. To report on the endodontic and periodontal management of a root and alveolar process perforation in a maxillary front tooth. Summary. Perforation during access cavity preparation is an infrequent complication during endodontic therapy, leading to potential periodontal tissue breakdown. The case described the two-stage management of a massive facial root perforation requiring a connective ...

Root perforations are undesired complications of endodontic treatment which result in loss of integrity of the root and further destruction of the adjacent periodontal tissues. In recent literature mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been regarded as an ideal material for perforation repair. In this case iatrogenic perforation was observed in a maxillary central incisor. It was not possible to...
