A mandibular first molar requiring root canal therapy was found with five canals, three mesial canals, and two distal canals. Initially, four canals (mesiobuccal, mesiolingual, distobuccal, and distolingual) were identified. The mesiobuccal and mesiolingual canals were found in their normal locations, and a fifth canal was noted between these two. This case demonstrates a rare anatomical config...

Objectives: Different chelators may be used during root canal treatment, offering various advantages including lubricant effect inside the canal and smear layer removal. However, chelator residues in narrow root canals can lead to apical microleakage. The aim of this in-vitro study was to compare apical microleakage following the use of three root canal chelators via fluid filtration method in ...

The objective of the research was to determine effectiveness obturation root canals and crown part teeth, identify most important factors influencing its results, based on X-ray examination.
 Materials methods: study conducted at Dental Center (University Clinic, Ivano-Frankivsk National Medical University). Evaluation 140 orthopantomograms, computed tomograms digital intraoral images pati...

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the reliability of Schneider’s and Weine’s methods by comparing the difference of root canal curvatures measured by three examiners. Materials and Methods: Fifty-one selected premolars were measured by three trained graduates of endodontics respectively with Schneider’s and Weine’s methods. The results were analyzed with analysis of variance (ANOVA)...

Objective: To determine whether the missing canals in endodontically treated single-rooted teeth with two-canals are present either buccal or lingual/palatal for Turkish subpopulation. Methods: High-quality cone-beam computed tomography scans of 1297 belonging to 782 adults over age 18 were obtained from archive a dental clinic. Within this dataset, 129 had undergone endodontic treatment and po...

Children and young adults often have tooth loss due to congenital tooth deficiency, trauma, or caries. Autotransplantation has many benefits. The transplanted tooth can be moved orthodontically, maintains alveolar bone growth potential during eruption, and functional periodontal ligament function also permits tooth eruption, allows the defected areas to be filled with the bones; gingival contou...

Taurodontism is a rare dental anomaly in which the involved tooth has an enlarged and elongated body and pulp chamber with apical displacement of the pulpal floor. Endodontic treatment of these teeth is challenging, because it is hard to identify the number of root canals. In this article a case of bilateral involvement of maxillary first molars is presented. Endodontic treatment of right maxil...

A major anatomical variant of the two-rooted mandibular first molar is a tooth with an additional distolingual third root: The radix entomolaris (RE). It is essential to anticipate and find all roots and canals during root canal treatment. Proper angulations and interpretation of radiographs help to identify pulp chamber and root anatomy. If present, an awareness and understanding of this unusu...
