the aim of this study was to report the endodontic management of right maxillary central incisor having two canals with vertucci canal configuration type iv . internal morphology of root canals is variable and often complex. therefore, to achieve a technically satisfactory endodontic outcome, the clinician must have adequate knowledge of the internal canal morphology and its variations in order...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to evaluate the vertical root fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth obturated with - Tubli-Seal EWT/Gutta-percha, AH Plus/Gutta-percha, Epiphany SE sealer/Epiphany point. STUDY DESIGN Sixty-five single rooted premolars were decoronated and root length was 14 mm for each specimen. Fifty five teeth were enlarged up to ISO size 40 master api...

The mandibular canine is usually considered a single-rooted tooth with a single root canal. However, two canals and more rarely two roots may also occur. This paper reports the case of a patient with bilateral mandibular canines with two roots and two root canals. The initial periapical radiographs of the mandibular right and left canines for endodontic treatment revealed the presence of two ro...

Dens evaginatus is an uncommon developmental anomaly of human dentition characterized by the presence of tubercle on the occlusal surface of mandibular premolars and lingual surface of anterior teeth. Due to occlusal trauma this tubercle tends to fracture thus exposing the pathway to the pulp chamber of teeth. This case report is about the presentation of dens evaginatus in mandibular premolars...

This study describes the treatment of a necrotic immature permanent central incisor with crown fracture. Instead of the conventional root canal treatment, a regenerative approach based on conservative endodontic method for revascularization was provided. The root canal was gently debrided of necrotic tissue by irrigating with sodium hypochlorite and then medicated with tri-antibiotic paste. Aft...

introduction: this study sought to assess the effects of amperage (ma) and field of view (fov) on intracanal metal post artifacts and the diagnostic parameters for detection of vertical root fracture (vrf) in teeth with intracanal posts. methods and materials: in this diagnostic study, 80 human single-canal teeth were evaluated by cone-beam computed tomography (cbct). nickel chrome cast posts w...

Coronal fractures of permanent dentition are the most frequent type of dental injury. If the original tooth fragment is retained following fracture, the natural tooth structures can be reattached using adhesive protocols. The development and use of fiber-reinforced composite root canal posts make possible of the reattachment of the crown esthetically. This case report presents a clinical techni...

INTRODUCTION Vertical root fracture inevitably leads to tooth extraction. Thus, root filling with obturating materials and sealers that can reinforce the tooth would be an ideal way to reduce fracture in root treated teeth. This study aimed to assess the fracture resistance of roots following the application of different sealers including Epiphany, iRoot sealer and AH-plus. METHODS AND MATERI...

It is well known that the primary function of a tooth is mastication. However, tooth fracture remains a major complication in endodontically-treated teeth. When the normal structure of a tooth is compromised by traumatic injuries, endodontic treatment remains the most viable option to maintain the tooth. However, endodontically treated teeth (ETT) exhibit greater brittleness and are more prone ...
