Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine clinical success rate of single visit verses multiple visit root canal treatment in cariously exposed vital primary molars. Material& methods: 40 children in age group of 4 to 7 years were divided equally into two treatment groups and recall visits were carried out after one week, one month and three months and six months. Results: Statistically n...

Successful endodontic treatment depends on thorough knowledge in root canal morphology, appropriate assessment of pulp chamber floor, critical interpretation of radiograph, and on biomechanical preparation followed by three dimensional obturation of root canal system. The possibility of additional root /canal should be considered even in teeth a low frequency of abnormal root canal anatomy. Man...

objectives: this study aimed to assess and compare the apical sealing ability of herofill® soft-core system and lateral condensation technique in fine curved canals using the fluid filtration method. materials and methods: forty human mesiobuccal root canals of mandibular first molars with 25° to 40° curvatures were instrumented to an apical size 30/0.04. roots were randomly assigned to two exp...

This paper highlights the importance of root canal disinfection. It discusses the different endodontic irrigants available and comments on how these can be used most effectively. Eliminating bacteria from the root canal system is an essential stage in endodontic therapy. An objective of endodontic treatment is removal of diseased tissue, elimination of bacteria from the canal system and prevent...

Careful understanding of internal anatomy of root canal system is crucial for successful endodontic treatment. The presence of two palatal canals in maxillary second molar is unusual but noteworthy as an aid to appropriate diagnosis and treatment. This paper reported a case of a maxillary right second molar with two root canals in the palatal root. The root canal treatment and case management w...

Successes of endodontic treatment depend on cleaning and shaping of root canal and adequately obturate the prepared root canal space. 1-3 Obturation has historically been achieved with gutta percha and a sealer. The root canal system has many variations in anatomy such as irregularly shaped canals, lateral and accessory canals, anastomoses between canals and a variety of fins. All this leads to...

the main objective of this case report is to present a rare root canal configuration of maxillary molar with seven root canals; three mesiobuccal, two palatal and two distobuccal canals diagnosed during treatment procedure confirmed by spiral computed tomography. a thorough knowledge of root canal morphology, proper clinical and radiographic examination, and use of dental operating microscopes ...
