Endodontic management of challenging anatomy with a new file system — about a retreatment in upper first premolar type VI Vertucci

Case Studies

Dr. Hugo Sousa Dias illustrates retreatment of a case with complex root canal anatomy Introduction It is well established that the success and predictability of root canal treatment to prevent or cure apical periodontitis is dependent upon accurate diagnosis and performing each stage of treatment to a high standard.1 The endodontic treatment failure is usually […]

Anatomy of a minimally invasive endodontic case

Case Studies

Dr. L. Stephen Buchanan discusses approaching zero loss of structural integrity during RCT Mentioning the term “minimally invasive endodontics” (MIE) invites a wide a range of emotional responses and definitions from endodontic specialists worldwide. “Ninja” access cavity preparations have bedeviled us as we’ve struggled to work through their compromised convenience form. We’ve lost heart muscle

Restorative-driven endodontics for more conservative outcomes

Case Studies

Dr. Gregori M. Kurtzman combines endodontic and restorative goals to achieve clinical success Introduction Endodontic treatment has trended to more conservative access as well as canal instrumentation to preserve as much tooth structure within the root and, specifically, the cervical region of the tooth, taking on a restorative-driven approach. Treatment outcome, especially long term, is

Bioceramic sealer avoids shrinkage and excessive resorption

Case Studies

Dr. Rico D. Short discusses this promising option for endodontic treatment Introduction Two commonly used sealers present two different challenges. Resin-based sealers will shrink upon setting, while calcium hydroxide and zinc-oxide eugenol-based sealers can resorb over time. In contrast, bioceramic sealers expand slightly during setting (typically less than 0.2% of total volume) and, once set,
