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...

external root resorption of permanent teeth is a multifactorial process. several etiologic and predisposing factors have been related to external root resorption. idiopathic external root resorption is defined as cases of external root resorption without a distinct etiologic factor. this article presents an extensive idiopathic external root resorption of maxillary first molar with irreversible...

Caries results in the demineralization and destruction of enamel dentine, as disease progresses, irreversible pulpitis can occur. Vital pulp therapy (VPT) is directed towards preservation prevention progression inflammation. The outcomes VPT are not always predictable, there often a poor correlation between clinical signs symptoms, events occurring at molecular level. inflamed expresses increas...

objectives: pain is an unpleasant outcome of endodontic treatment that can be unbearable to patients. instrumentation techniques may affect the frequency and intensity of post-endodontic pain. this study aimed to compare single visit post endodontic pain using mtwo (niti) rotary and hand k-file instruments. materials and methods: in this randomized controlled trial, 60 teeth with symptomatic ir...

vital pulp therapy (vpt) is the preferred conservative treatment for preservation of symptomatic pulps in immature permanent teeth. the present case report summarizes vpt of an immature permanent molar with irreversible pulpitis associated with apical periodontitis in a 9-year-old boy. cervical pulpotomy was performed and radicular pulp stump were covered with calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cem...

The review summarized here as conducted in an attempt to achieve reliable evience concerning the effectiveness, or otherwise, of rescribing antibiotics for patients having irreversible ulpitis. A competent search strategy was developed nd used across several databases including MEDLINE o identify ran...

It is a challenge for dentists to save dental pulp in patients with pulp disease without resorting to root canal therapy. Formation of tertiary dentin to maintain pulp vitality is a key odontoblast response to dental pulp injury. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the most potent angiogenic and vasculogenic factor involved in tertiary dentin formation. It was hypothesized that VEGF ma...
