Cholesterol granuloma (CG) is a tissue reaction in response to the accumulation of cholesterol crystals rarely found in the maxillary sinus. The etiopathogenesis of maxillary sinus CG remains unclear. We reviewed the literature and added two new reports of cholesterol granuloma in maxillary sinus related to endodontically treated maxillary posterior teeth. The first report refers to a 45-year-o...

Preservation of a patient’s natural dentition remains an important outcome in securing oral health. Dentists and patients are facing a perplexity between saving a compromised tooth through endodontic treatment, retreatment or extraction. Though success rates of endodontic initial treatment have been improving over the years, persistence of periapical disease is far from being a rare condition. ...

Context: Use of root canal solvents has increased the success rate endodontic retreatment and it made procedure faster simpler. Aims: During retreatment, a solvent facilitates removal obturation material sealer by softening it, so as to obtain free debris microorganisms. Hence an invitro study was done evaluate compare dissolving effect RC Solve, Eucalyptus oil G-sol on AH Plus Root Canal Seale...

Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has emerged as a reliable bioactive material with extended applications in endodontics that include the obturation of the root canal space. This article examines the literature supporting MTA as a canal filling material, suggests methods for its delivery and placement, and presents clinical cases that demonstrate its effectiveness in resolving apical periodontit...

Pulpal pain does not refer to an endodontically treated tooth. Nevertheless, such a potential may exist based on a learned phenomenon due to previous treatment experiences but is rarely reported. Further, it is seldom reported to occur with atypical features. This case report is on a patient who was presented with pain in endodontically treated lower first molar (36) and recommended to undergo ...

INTRODUCTION Root-end preparation and restoration with an endodontic material are required when nonsurgical endodontic retreatment has failed or is impossible. The present clinical study reports the treatment outcomes of periradicular surgery using calcium-enriched mixture (CEM) cement. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective outcome study of periradicular surgery using CEM was conducted on 14 pe...

Objectives: To evaluate the accuracy between two different electronic apex locators in detecting root canal perforation middle and apical portion during retreatment. Methods: Sixty freshly extracted mandibular premolars were taken to this study, which divided into three groups of twenty each. Group I: Control Group, II: Positive control without perforation, III: Negative with perforation. In al...
