INTRODUCTION The failure of primary endodontic treatment is manifested by various clinical symptoms following endodontic therapy or, more frequently, by the development of chronic inflammatory process in the apex region without any subjective symptoms. In case of unfavorable outcome of the primary endodontic treatment, orthograde endodontic retreatment is the method of choice for a prolonged th...

The implant periapical lesion (IPL), a possible cause for implant failure, may occur from the presence of pre-existing microbial pathology such as endodontic/periodontal lesions. This case report presents a case history related to IPL, which was caused by a pre-existing endodontic lesion. In addition, other possible causes such as surgical trauma and the management strategies of IPL are suggest...

The immediate placement of implants in the fresh extraction sockets of infected teeth with periradicular and periapical lesions is contraindicated because of both the infection and the loss of architecture required for proper implant placement. There are 4 approaches for implant replacement of a hopeless tooth with lesions: (1) extraction and delayed implant placement; (2) extraction, debrideme...

BACKGROUND Though success rates of endodontic initial treatment have been improving over the years, persistence of periapical disease is far from being a rare condition. The most common therapeutical options for the re-treatment of teeth with periapical pathosis are non-surgical orthograde treatment and surgical treatment. Selection between alternative treatments should be based on assessment o...

The interrelationship between pulpal and periodontal disease primarily occurs through the intimate anatomic vascular connections pulp periodontium. purpose of this case report is to present treatment two cases mandibular first molars displaying endodontic-periodontal lesions with without use regenerative bone techniques. endodontic treatments were performed under an operating microscope in appo...

INTRODUCTION Odontogenic cutaneous sinus tracts are often misdiagnosed as lesions of non-odontogenic origin, leading to the treatment of patients with unnecessary and ineffective therapies. Sinus tracts of endodontic origin usually respond well to endodontic therapy. However, root canal treatment of mandibular molars with aberrant canal anatomy can be diagnostically and technically challenging....

presence of extra roots and canals should be considered before initiation of root canal treatment for the success of endodontic treatment. a mandibular second premolar with three separate roots is very rare and its prevalence has been reported to be around 0.1%. this case report explains non-surgical endodontic treatment of a mandibular second premolar with three separate roots and three separa...

The field of endodontics has seen vast improvements in technology and techniques over the past several years. Perhaps the one area of endodontics that has improved the most is the way in which surgery is performed. With the use of state-of-the-art instruments, new and improved materials, and a surgical operating microscope, the gap has narrowed between biological concepts and the ability to ach...

AIMS To (i) determine the prevalence of persistent dento-alveolar pain following nonsurgical and/or surgical endodontic treatment conducted in a teaching dental hospital and (ii) identify the risk factors associated with persistent pain after apparently successful root canal treatment. STUDY DESIGN A total of 175 patients/teeth were reviewed 12-59 months following treatment. The patients were...

This study evaluated the effectiveness of ultrasound, color Doppler imaging and conventional radiography in monitoring the post-surgical healing of periapical lesions of endodontic origin. Fifteen patients who underwent periapical surgery for endodontic pathology were randomly selected. In all patients, periapical lesions were evaluated preoperatively using ultrasound, color Doppler imaging and...
