Variations in the dental anatomy are found in all teeth. Knowledge of these variations, particularly concerning the location and treatment of all canals, is very important for the success of the endodontic therapy. The purpose of this study is to present a clinical case of a maxillary second molar with three palatal canals, two mesio-buccal and one disto-buccal canal. This report serves to remi...

Should a tooth with pulpal involvement be saved through endodontic therapy, or extracted and replaced with a single tooth implant? Within the limitations of the existing literature, this systematic review of treatment outcomes found that initial endodontic treatment had a high long-term survival rate, equivalent to replacement of a missing tooth with an implant-supported restoration. Single too...

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...

The interrelationship between pulpal and periodontal disease primarily occurs through the intimate anatomic vascular connections pulp periodontium. purpose of this case report is to present treatment two cases mandibular first molars displaying endodontic-periodontal lesions with without use regenerative bone techniques. endodontic treatments were performed under an operating microscope in appo...

AIM The aim of this report is to present a case of Type III dens invaginatus in a maxillary lateral incisor with a periapical lesion and its successful treatment using a combination of surgical and non-surgical therapy. BACKGROUND The morphology of the root canal system is unique for individual teeth. A precise understanding of the morphology is very important for a successful root canal trea...

Endodontic therapy of mandibular molars is a challenging task due to its varied root canal morphology. A mandibular first molar with additional buccal root (Radix paramolaris) and additional distolingual root (Radix Entomolaris) is an example of its varied anatomy. A successful management of atypical root canal configurations is an important aspect in determining the success rate of root canal ...

Simultaneous occurrence of gemination and dens invaginatus in the same tooth is reported. Combined surgical and non surgical endodontic therapy was completed, with satisfactory results.

Thorough knowledge of root canal morphology is essential for the endodontic therapy. There are rare variations in canal number and configuration in maxillary molars, which could affect treatment outcome. This paper presents the endodontic management of a maxillary first molar with two palatal canals in one root (Vertucci type IV) and a single buccal canal. In this paper cone-beam computed tomog...
