A life-saving exam

Abstract  This article underscores the critical role of the dental professional in the early detection of head and neck cancers through a systematic Conventional Visual and Tactile Examination (CVTE). Inspired by the personal story of my close friend, Jonathan, whose cancer diagnosis may have been expedited by routine dental screening, this article explores the components […]

Microscope endodontic workflow: an ergonomic systematic approach

  Abstract  The dental microscope has been a key technology that has improved outcomes in root canal procedures since its incorporation in the 1990s. However, despite its mandatory status in endodontic postgraduate programs at dental schools, it is still underused or improperly utilized. This is primarily because operators often find themselves adapting to the technology rather than

The lateral canal: its morphological and topographic description and its clinical importance

Drs. Juan Pablo Miraglia Cantarini, Denise Alfie, Gonzalo García, Carlos Cantarini, and Fernando Goldberg study a condition that poses complex challenges Abstract Introduction: The lateral canal (LC) is a crucial communication pathway between the root canal system and the periodontal tissues. LC cleaning poses challenges during endodontic treatment due to its complexity, which can lead

Strategies to reduce fracture risk in engine-driven endodontic files: the effects of multi-phase heat treatment

Drs. Carlos A. Spironelli Ramos and Ken Serota discuss the heat-treatment manufacturing process   Endodontic engine-driven files have significantly transformed modern endodontic practices by increasing operational efficiency and precision in root canal instrumentation. Nonetheless, file separation continues to be a prevalent concern. Various strategies have been devised to mitigate this risk and reduce the likelihood of file breakage.

Perforating internal root resorption (IRR): a closer look

Dr. Joseph Stern explores IRR from causes to treatment Introduction Confusion surrounding root resorption is common within the general dental community. This is likely due to the numerous subtypes — such as internal, external, cervical, and apical resorption — and the wide variety of potential causes, including trauma, pressure, infection, inflammation, and systemic factors. Much
