successful endodontic treatment requires thorough knowledge regarding each root canal system of any tooth and probability of extra canals should be considered. second maxillary molar with two palatal root canals is not frequent and its incidence reported in literatures is about 0.4–2%. the present case report describes non-surgical retreatment of maxillary second molar with two palatal root can...

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...

the main objective of endodontic therapy is the thorough mechanical and chemical cleansing of the entire root canal system and its complete obturation with an inert filling material. failure to find and fill a canal contributes toward the failure of endodontic therapy .the root canal anatomy of mandibular first molars is complex. studies of the morphologic structure of root canal systems have d...

A root system in which all roots have same norm is known as a simply laced root system. We present a simple method of classifying all simply laced root systems.

statement of problem: root canal cleaning and elimination of the source of infection are the most important basis and the main requirements for successful root treatment since the main cause of failure in root treatment is the permeation of bacteria or their products into the periapical tissues. nowadays, the newly designed and prcsented instruments for canal instrumentation can improve root tr...
