Successful Endodontic treatment depends upon Adequate knowledge about the morphology of root canal system and diagnosing the anatomic variants to avoid missed canals. Maxillary second molars usually present with two buccal and one palatal root. Occurrence of an extra palatal root is a rare scenario with prevalence of around 1.4%.. The following case report describes endodontic management of max...

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...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect(s) of three canal lubricants i.e. sodium hypochlorite, RC-Prep as the paste form of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and aqueous EDTA on the occurrence/incidence of fracture, deformity and metal slivering of ProTaper rotary instruments. METHODS A total of 120 mesial canals (i.e. mesiobuccal and mesiolingual) of first...

Administration of an extract from the powdered root of the plant Withania somnifera was found to stimulate immunological activity in Babl/c mice. Treatment with five doses of Withania root extract (20 mg/dose/animal; i.p.) was found to enhance the total WBC count (17125 cells/mm(3)) on 10th day. Bone marrow cellularity (27x10(6) cells/femur) as well as alpha-esterase positive cell number (1800/...
