The significant rate of failure of endodontic treatment to lower incisors was attributed to poor knowledge of their endodontic morphology. As emphasized by Tinelli ME et al. (2011), the morphology of the endodontic system is strongly related to ethnicity, making possible the existence of important anatomical variations at different population groups. The present study analyzes, using radiologic...

introduction : root-end preparation and restoration with an endodontic material are required when nonsurgical endodontic retreatment has failed or is impossible. the present clinical study reports the treatment outcomes of periradicular surgery using calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement. materials and methods: a prospective outcome study of periradicular surgery using cem was conducted on 14 p...

knowledge about the morphology of the root canal system is a pre-requisite for achieving a successful outcome in root canal treatment. in this report, a patient with a maxillary lateral incisor which had previously undergone orthograde endodontic retreatment for two times is discussed. the tooth had been misdiagnosed with a palatal groove or a root fracture, its prognosis had been determined to...

Background and Aims: The aims of this article were to assess the current endodontic practice in Turkey and to find out the opinions of practitioners on their level of practice and training needs. Subjects and Methods: A questionnaire dealing with current endodontic practice was prepared. A total of 650 practitioners from Turkey were randomly chosen and the questionnaires were sent to their e-ma...

Maxillary lateral incisors usually exhibit a single root with a single canal. However, maxillary lateral incisor teeth with unusual morphology of root canal system are frequently reported. These cases of variable root canal anatomy can be treated well by nonsurgical endodontic methods. A detailed description of root canal morphology is fundamental for successful endodontic treatment. Treatment ...

The root canal treatment is one of the most common dental procedures, the aim of which is to save natural teeth and prevent the need for dental implants or bridges.With contemporary advances in endodontic techniques, increasingly complicated cases are undertaken of general dental practitioners —with variable results. Unfortunately, as a consequencethe majority of procedures carried out by endod...
