Complex anatomical variations on root canals morphology are one of the most arduous challenges in endodontic practice. The objective this case report is to discuss clinical management a mandibular left second premolar with four and distinct apical foramina. This has been written according Preferred Reporting Items for Case reports Endodontics (PRICE) 2020 guidelines. A 74-year-old patient was r...

A 17-year-old female presented with the chief complaint of inability to bite properly. Clinical examination revealed a Class II, division 1 malocclusion with an anterior open bite and mild maxillary and mandibular tooth-sizearch-length discrepancies (Fig. 1, Table 1). The patient’s initial contact upon closure was between the maxillary and mandibular first molars, leading to a complex open bite...

Recognition of aberrant root canal configurations is critical to successfully negotiate and treat a one such aberrancies C shape system. The fins webs present in system presents challenge debridement obturation. Knowledge variations through advanced imaging modalities like CBCT, rotary hand instruments assisted with ultrasonics modified obturation techniques aid effective management shaped cana...

This aim of this study was to evaluate the root apex of mandibular premolars regarding the presence of main and accessory foramina. The root apexes from fifty extracted mandibular single-rooted premolars were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The apical openings had their diameter measured and were identified as main or accessory foramina. Double blinded and calibrated examiners a...

INTRODUCTION Our objective was to determine whether the elevation of a full-thickness mucoperiosteal flap alone, without cortical cuts, decreases the amount of bone around teeth and accelerates mesial tooth movements. METHODS The mandibular second premolars of 7 beagle dogs were extracted, and on a randomly selected side, a full-thickness mucoperiosteal buccal flap extending from the distal a...

Many systemic and local factors can cause paresthesia, and it is rarely caused by infections of dental origin. This report presents a case of mental nerve paresthesia caused by endodontic infection of a mandibular left second premolar. Resolution of the paresthesia began two weeks after conventional root canal treatment associated with antibiotic therapy and was completed in eight weeks. One ye...
