The root canal anatomy of mandibular incisors can present a number of variations, including multiple canals. Two case reports are presented to illustrate the serendipitous discovery and successful non-surgical endodontic management of complex canal systems in mandibular incisors. In both cases, all four mandibular incisors had two canals each.

The purpose of this article is to present the surgical removal of a broken endodontic file from the periapical region of the distal root of a mandibular first molar. The methods of diagnosis and measurement of the distance of the instrument to the adjacent vital structures in the periapical region was done with simple means and in an economical manner.

The MVS (such as the Explorer and the MagnaVu) allows the dentist and team to provide quality dentistry in a more comfortable position, for longer periods of time. This is especially important for complex surgical and extensive restorative/aesthetic cases. The procedures that would be enhanced via the MVS include: diagnostic, preventative care, restorative, periodontal, endodontic, orthodontic,...

A retrospective cohort study was carried out aiming to assess the success rate of endodontic treatment of patients from the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Pernambuco, Brazil. The dental records of the sampling comprised all patients treated in 1998 and 1999. Trials were standardized and a pilot study was carried out to determine the feasibility of the proposed study. Chi-square and Fisher'...

long-term success of endodontic treatment is precisely and completely dependent on adequate and appropriate cleaning and shaping of the root canal along with proper and correct obturation of the entire prepared space. this paper aims to report an exceptionally and novel non-surgical and orthograde endodontic therapy on maxillary right central incisor with an extensive radiolucent lesion. a 17-y...

this case series aims to comprehensively introduce intentional replantation with a focus on its indications and case selection in endodontics. in all represented cases, calcium enriched mixture (cem) cement is used for root-end filling. this case series demonstrates twenty cases of ir and extraoral root-end resection and filling with cem cement. all the selected teeth had a failed endodontic tr...

This paper describes and discusses the multidisciplinary treatment involving a permanent maxillary lateral incisor fused to a supernumerary tooth, both presenting pulp necrosis and periapical lesion. A 15-year-old male patient sought treatment complaining of pain, swelling and mobility on the maxillary right lateral incisor. After clinical and radiographic examination, root canal preparation wa...

External root resorption was recognized as a late complication of traumatic injuries to the teeth, which usually occurs after orthodontic treatment, orthognatic or dentoalveolar surgery, bleaching techniques or other similar conditions. The purpose of our paper is to discuss the predisposing factors and to present treatment options for teeth with cervical resorption, with emphasys on surgical e...

Literature review There is a paucity of information on the concise relationship between endodontics and orthodontics during treatment planning decisions. This relationship ranges from effects on the pulp from orthodontic treatment and the potential for resorption during tooth movement, to the clinical management of teeth requiring integrated endodontic and orthodontic treatment. This paper revi...

The essential steps for successful endodontic treatment consist of elimination of all diseased pulp and dentin tissues, adequate chemomechanical preparation and filling of the root canal system hermetically.[1] Moreover, it is crucial that root canal obturation has to be limited within root canal system. Minor apical foramen or minor apical constriction is known to be situated 0.5–1.5 mm corona...
