Background: To assess the cutting efficiency of two heat-treated endodontic files with a brushing motion in oval-shaped canals. Methods: A total 10 intact lower molars single oval distal canal were selected and randomly divided into groups according to system used for shaping: 2Shape Hyflex CM. The instrumentation was performed parts: first shaping manufacturer’s instructions final using 5 moti...

Aims The primary goals of endodontic treatment are to debride and disinfect the root canal space to the greatest possible extent, and to seal the canals as effectively as possible, aiming to establish or maintain healthy periapical tissues. Although initial root canal therapy has been shown to be a predictable procedure with a high degree of success, failure can occur after treatment. Lack of h...

Placement of an anterior maxillary implant has a risk of interfering with the nasopalatine canal in the maxilla. This case report presents one of our experiences of a nasopalatine duct cyst that developed in association with a dental implant treatment. A 45-year-old man received an implant in the maxillary left central incisor due to root fracture. Preoperative radiograph indicated no anatomica...

Visual inspection of a dry adult human skull revealed absence of a typical foramen ovale on the left side of the cranial base. The region of the foramen ovale was covered by an osseous lamina, which was continuous with the lateral pterygoid plate and thus formed a wall of an apparent canal, which opened on the lateral side of the pterygoid process. This canal is referred to as an oval canal (ca...

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the sealing ability of 3 obturation techniques in oval-shaped canals by bacterial leakage assessment. Methods: Sixty mandibular incisors with oval canals were selected after providing buccolingual and mesiodistal radiographs. The teeth were sectioned at a 10 mm distance from the apex. After instrumentation, the teeth were divided into 3 gr...
