The knowledge of variations in root canal morphology is critical for a successful endodontic treatment. This article presents the endodontic management of a unique case of mandibular molar with middle distal canal which is quite uncommon.

PURPOSE To investigate the sealing properties of root fillings with resin-coated gutta-percha cones and a methacrylate-based resin endodontic sealer with and without an accelerator component in root canals subjected to immediate or delayed post space preparation. METHODS Forty-eight extracted human teeth with single straight root canals were treated endodontically. Specimens were then assigne...

thorough understanding of the anatomic and internal morphology of a root canal system is absolutely essential for the success of endodontic treatment. since permanent maxillary first molars have shown variation in internal anatomy, morphology, this tooth has been reviewed extensively. presence of two canals in a two-rooted maxillary first molar has rarely been reported in studies describing too...

BACKGROUND Successful obturation in the primary teeth demands complete dryness of the root canal system. AIM The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of 95% ethanol as the final irrigant before root canal obturation in primary teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 20 extracted primary mandibular canines were biomechanically prepared and pre-obturated volume of each tooth was ...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiographic quality of root canal fillings performed by first and second clinical year dental students at the Faculty of Dentistry in Süleyman Demirel University, Turkey. METHODS The technical quality of 833 root canal fillings was evaluated by three examiners according to the density of the filling and the distance between the end of ...

Endodontic procedure helps in preservation of a pulpally involved primary tooth by eliminating bacteria and their products and ensures hermetic seal of the root canals with different root canal filling materials so that the primary tooth can complete its function until normal exfoliation can occur without harming the successor or affecting the health of the patient.1 An ideal root canal filling...

This case report describes an endodontically managed maxillary first molar with an unusual morphology of five canals. Maxillary first molar has one of the most complex root and canal anatomy. The greatest variations observed are the presence of two canals in the mesiobuccal root of maxillary molar, canals in the furcation area and the presence of lateral and accessory canals. The incidence of t...

OBJECTIVE: To find out number of roots, root-canals and canal configuration in permanent mandibular third molars through tooth clearing technique. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 193 extracted human with completely formed apical foramen intact roots were collected from both genders treated at dental hospitals Peshawar, Pakistan 1st July to 31st December 2019. After collection teeth visu...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of gutta-percha and a thermoplastic synthetic polymer (Resilon) to fill simulated lateral canals, using warm vertical compaction. Forty-five single-rooted human teeth were prepared using the rotary crown-down technique. Artificial lateral canals were made at 2, 5, and 8 mm from the working length (WL) in each root. The specimens were divided int...
