One of the significant iatrogenic complications during endodontic treatment is Furcal perforations which may lead to failure. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has been regarded as an ideal material for perforation repair. This case report describes repair furcal in a young permanent mandibular molar 10year-old male patient using MTA. The tooth was treated endodontically followed by placement zi...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare the accuracy of conventional intraoral (CI) radiography, photostimulable phosphor (PSP) radiography, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) for detection of strip and root perforations in endodontically treated teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Mesial and distal roots of 72 recently extracted molar were endodonticall...

Introduction. The aim of this work was to check the average thickness dentinal wall mesio-buccal root first lower molar using CBCT axial sections intact teeth. Material and method. In cross-sectional study, 100 images mandibular molars from Promax 3Dent radiology center in Banja Luka, Bosnia Herzegovina were evaluated. A Planmeca Promax3D Max apparatus (Planmeca, Helsinki, Finland) used, with a...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in vitro sealing ability of three repair materials. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA; Group A), calcium phosphate cement (CPC; Group B), and light cured glass ionomer cement (GIC; Group C) when used to repair the perforation created in the pulpal floor of fifty extracted human permanent molars. MATERIALS AND METHODS Preparation of access...

Background: Three-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography is gaining popularity as an imaging modality aiding the performance of difficult endodontic treatment procedures. For this reason, we assessed visualization bioactive furcal perforation repair materials in ex vivo study using CBCT with different voxel sizes and determined which size yielding best images least artefacts. Visualization r...

This study investigated the ability of One-Up Bond alone and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), with and without a secondary seal of One-Up Bond or SuperEBA to seal saucer-shaped perforation defects in human molars. Cusps were removed, roots were amputated, and endodontic therapy completed on 40 extracted teeth. A cylindrical hole was made in each tooth from the furcation area to the chamber, in...

Furcal perforation is usually an undesired complication that can occur during preparation of an endodontic access cavities or exploring canal orifice of multirooted teeth. Inadequacy of the repair materials has been a contributing factor to the poor outcome of repair procedures. On the basis of the recent physical and biologic property studies of the relatively new introduced mineral trioxide a...

Root canal and furcal perforations are causes of endodontic therapy failure and different materials that stimulate tissue mineralization have been proposed for perforation treatment. In the first case, a patient presented tooth 46 with unsatisfactory endodontic treatment and a periapical radiographic lesion. A radiolucent area compatible with a perforating internal resorption cavity was found i...
