INTRODUCTION Endodontic-periodontal combined lesion is a clinical dilemma because making a differential diagnosis and deciding a prognosis are difficult. METHODS Twenty-six cases from 14 articles involving the successful management of endodontic-periodontal lesions with concurrent regenerative procedures were reviewed. This article also presents successful treatment of an endodontic-periodont...

Generally, mandibular first molars have one mesial and distal root but in few cases there are morphological variations where the number of roots canals may vary. Radix Entomolaris (RE) is presence of an additional lingual distally molars. Correct diagnosis important before starting with endodontic therapy these teeth to ensure successful treatment outcome. This case report series describes the ...

UNLABELLED The failures of root canal preparation are due to some anatomical deviation (canal in "C" or "S") and some technique errors. The technique errors are usually present in canal root cleansing and shaping stage and are the result of endodontic treatment objectives deviation. OBJECTIVES Our study was made on technique errors while preparing the canal roots with hand ProTaper. METHODO...

Root fractures are defined as fractures involving dentine, cementum, and pulpal and supportive tissues. They comprise about 0.5–7% of all dental injuries. Horizontal root fractures are commonly observed in the maxillary anterior region and 75% of these fractures occur in the maxillary central incisors. Case report: This case report is about a 26-year-old male referred to the endodontic departme...

missing of mandibular second premolar is one of the most common types of tooth agenesis. in such cases, maintenance of the primary second molar, if possible at all, can prevent many treatment procedures in future. the present case report represents the endodontic management of a necrotic left mandibular primary second molar that had developed an abscess. considering the missing of the permanent...

Research data regarding attitudes of general dental practitioners towards endodontic therapy is rare. The present review summarizes existing literature and analyzes human factors that could potentially influence the outcome of endodontic treatment in general dental practice. Root canal treatment usually fails when treatment falls short of acceptable standards. The results of questionnaire surve...

PURPOSE The objective of this study was to compare postobturation flare-ups following single and two-visit endodontic treatment of molar teeth with periapical radiolucency. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 100 patients with asymptomatic molar teeth with periapical radiolucency were selected. They were randomly allocated into two groups. Fifty patients received complete endodontic treatment in...

accumulation of soft tissue or dentinal remnants in the apical region is a common event that can cause blockage of root canals. this event can be avoided if apical patency is performed during the root canal shaping procedures. however, there is no consensus on the role of apical patency in relation to the success of endodontic treatment of necrotic teeth with apical periodontitis. therefore, th...

This case report described the endodontic treatment and decompression of an extensive lesion in the anterior region of the mandible, detected during clinical and radiographic examination, in a patient with a complaint of slight tenderness to palpation in the area of mandibular right lateral incisor and canine. These teeth had been accessed without proper clinical evaluation, and their pulp tiss...

Traditionally, apexification has been used to treat immature permanent teeth that have lost pulp vitality. This technique promotes the formation of an apical barrier to close the open apex so that the filling materials can be confined to the root canal. Because tissue regeneration cannot be achieved with apexification, a new technique called regenerative endodontic treatment was presented recen...
