This article describes a clinical case of mandibular second premolar with three separated canals in apical third of the root that are diagnosed and endodontically treated. Sound knowledge of root canal anatomy and morphology, tactile examination of canal walls, critical interpretation of radiographs and high magnification examination are essential elements of success in complicated root canal t...

Root canal retreatment is often the preferred method of treating a tooth in which root canal treatment has failed. Part two of this two-part article discusses the rationale for root canal retreatment and practical techniques and equipment that are available to practitioners.

the presence of three root canals in the distal root of the mandibular fi rst permanent molars is rare; based on in vitro studies its incidence is reported to be between 0.2% and 3%. with the advent of cone beam computed tomography (cbct) as an adjunctive diagnostic aid, the determination of root canal anatomy in teeth with extra canals and complex canal confi gurations has become more precise....

Root fracture is defined as a fracture involving the dentin, cementum, and pulp. Most fractures occur in the maxillary anterior teeth between the ages of 11 and 20 years old. The treatment for root fracture in permanent teeth involves the reduction and fixation of the displaced coronal segment. When signs of pulp necrosis or inflammatory root resorption are present, root canal therapy should be...

The present study was conducted to determine the number of roots and morphology of the root canal system of permanent mandibular first molars (M1) in a Sri Lankan population. Sample of 529 M1 teeth was used. The number of roots was examined and the lengths of the mesial and distal roots were measured to the nearest 0.01 mm. Vacuum injection protocol was used to inject China ink into the root ca...

BACKGROUND Successful root canal treatment depends on proper cleaning, disinfecting and shaping of the root canal space. Pulpless teeth have lower dentin microhardness value compared to that of vital teeth. A material which can cause change in dentin composition may affect the microhardness. Thus the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effect of two root canal sealers on dentin mi...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the gap between the post restoration and the remaining root canal filling had an impact on the periapical health of endodontically treated teeth in a Turkish subpopulation. STUDY DESIGN Digital panoramic radiographs, evaluated for this cross-sectional study, were randomly selected from files of patients who attended to Yeditepe Universit...
