Understanding the morphology of the root canal plays a key role in the success of a root canal therapy. Thus considerations of the anatomic variations, in the process of diagnosis and treatment of the maxillary and mandibular posterior teeth, should be done by the clinicians.1 A thorough examination of pre-operative and postoperative radiagraphs plays a critical role in endodontic success. Vari...

Endodontic treatment plays an important role in achieving and maintaining good oral health by eliminating infection and preserving natural dentition. Success of endodontic treatment depends on accurate diagnosis and identification of all the canals. Therefore a thorough knowledge of root canal anatomy is necessary . Awareness and understanding of the presence of unusual root canal morphology co...

Endodontic therapy aims at disinfection of the root canal system. Efforts are made by instrumentation and chemical to remove infected pulp tissue debris from space. However due variations in anatomy, it is impossible instrument all parts that may lead persistence or progression infection. Thorough knowledge tooth morphology important improve success rate endodontic treatment. Missed canals cons...

Understanding the morphological anatomy of the root and root canal systems of the teeth increases the success rate of endodontic therapy. Advanced diagnostic imaging techniques like cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) are an essential aid in understanding the anatomy of teeth especially in mandibular premolars. Most commonly mandibular first and second premolars have a single root and a single...

Dentistry has evolved tremendously in the past decade and various treatment options available have left the dentists flustered, so as to choose the best treatment option. Dental Implants are currently very popular and have garnered a good survival rate as well. But preservation of natural teeth through endodontic therapy has always been given priority and provided better success rates in the lo...

Long-term success of endodontic treatment is dependent on adequate and appropriate cleaning and shaping of the root canal along with proper and correct obturation of the entire prepared space. This article aims to report an exceptional non-surgical and orthograde endodontic treatment of maxillary right central incisor with an extensive radiolucent lesion in a 17-year-old male. Six and 20-month ...

Missing of mandibular second premolar is one of the most common types of tooth agenesis. In such cases, maintenance of the primary second molar, if possible at all, can prevent many treatment procedures in future. The present case report represents the endodontic management of a necrotic left mandibular primary second molar that had developed an abscess. Considering the missing of the permanent...

Endodontic–periodontal lesions present the challenges to the clinician as far as diagnosis, prognosis and treatment planning is concerned. One treatment modality in such cases involves separation of two roots in the furcation area with selected removal of one root. This decision is based on the extent and pattern of bone loss, root trunk and root length, ability to eliminate the osseous defect,...

After root canal obturation of sound posterior teeth, dentists are always in hurry of giving full crown. They are not serious in giving proper post endodontic restoration which results in fracture of tooth or restoration, if patient delays the full crown treatment. The inherent causes of failures are rarely evaluated. Thus, it was the purpose of this study to analyze the opinion of practicing d...

Large apical radiolucencies after endodontic treatment are usually advised orthograde retreatment, apical surgery and that too with a guarded prognosis. Microsurgical techniques, the use of ultrasonic and magnification aides, have been in use in the developed countries for the past few decades and have shown significant improvement in long-term success of such cases. MTA is proposed as one of t...
