BACKGROUND In endodontic therapy, continuous rotary instrumentation reduced debris compared to reciprocal instrumentation, which might affect the incidence of post-endodontic pain (PP). The aim of our study was to assess whether PP incidence and levels were influenced by the choice of rotary or reciprocal instruments. METHODS In this meta-analysis the Pubmed and EM databases were searched for...

Bioceramic-based root canal sealers are considered to be an advantageous technology in endodontics. The aim of this review was to consider laboratory experiments and clinical studies of these sealers. An extensive search of the endodontic literature was made to identify publications related to bioceramic-based root canal sealers. The outcome of laboratory and clinical studies on the biological ...

Lack of knowledge or its poor application in clinicals can lead to a number accidental errors during the root canal therapy. The preventive measures and management these mishaps is must for the success of the endodontic therapy maintain natural integrity teeth. Thus, this paper we are going to discuss about different types procedural with their briefly. Keywords: Missed canals, Perforation, Em...

Dentistry has evolved tremendously in the past decade and various treatment options available have left the dentists flustered, so as to choose the best treatment option. Dental Implants are currently very popular and have garnered a good survival rate as well. But preservation of natural teeth through endodontic therapy has always been given priority and provided better success rates in the lo...

The variations of anatomical and morphological characteristics of the teeth are very important for any practitioner. These differences in root morphology are influencing the success of the endodontic therapy and the long-term prognosis of the tooth, especially when it is an abutment for a prosthetic restoration. Before beginning an endodontic treatment, the clinician must take into account the ...

Endodontic therapy aims at disinfection of the root canal system. Efforts are made by instrumentation and chemical to remove infected pulp tissue debris from space. However due variations in anatomy, it is impossible instrument all parts that may lead persistence or progression infection. Thorough knowledge tooth morphology important improve success rate endodontic treatment. Missed canals cons...

Research into regenerative dentistry has added impetus onto the field of molecular biology. It can be documented as a prototype shift in the therapeutic armamentarium for dental disease. Regenerative endodontic procedures are widely being added to the current armamentarium of pulp therapy procedures. The regenerative potential of platelets has been deliberated. A new family of platelet concentr...

Taurodontism is a rare dental anomaly in which the involved tooth has an enlarged and elongated body and pulp chamber with apical displacement of the pulpal floor. Endodontic treatment of these teeth is challenging, because it is hard to identify the number of root canals. In this article a case of bilateral involvement of maxillary first molars is presented. Endodontic treatment of right maxil...

This article presents the procedures that must be considered for periapical cyst repair after nonsurgical endodontic treatment. The case of a periapical cyst associated to the left maxillary lateral incisor is reported. Nonsurgical root canal therapy was performed and lesion healing was confirmed radiographically after 24 months. Differential diagnosis, endodontic infection control, apical fora...
