Introduction: This research assessed the interobserver agreement and precision of the Tactile Method (TM) during orthograde exploration of the apical terminal portion of permanent teeth with necrotic pulps and open apices. Methods: Nine non-vital teeth with incomplete root development from nine patients were included. Two observers analyzed preoper...

One possible consequence of dentoalveolar trauma is the development of external inflammatory root resorption (EIRR), which represents an anatomic and microbiologic challenge for clinicians. This case report describes different strategies implemented for successful endodontic management of teeth with multiple EIRR lesions, highlighting the orthograd...

Introduction This study analyzed intra- and inter-observer agreements during radiographic assessment of the different stages of root development using dichotomous, Moorrees’, Demirjian’s, and Cvek’s classifications, as well as the effect of the observer's level of experience on the result. Methods Two hundred and eighty-five digital periapical rad...

To report the clinical managment of an upper lateral incisor presenting “Dens Invaginatus” DI (Oehlers Class III. DI is a developmental anomaly caused by the invagination of the dental papilla during its formation and can cause endodontic complications. The treatment varies in relation to its anatomical complexity.

Background: This paper analyzed the distribution of treatments for permanent teeth with necrotic pulps and open apices according to the stage of root development. Material and Methods: Dental records from all root canal procedures performed in permanent teeth with necrotic pulps and open apices over a period of 14 years by residents of the Speciali...

Dens invaginatus (DI) is a developmental anomaly that poses a significant challenge to the clinician if endodontic treatment is required. The type II (as per Oehlers) form exhibits complex internal anatomy and is frequently associated with incomplete root and apex formation. The purpose of this study is to present two cases of type II DI in the max...

Abstract Background: This study aimed to describe the anatomy of maxillary canines from a Western Mexican sub-population using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Material and methods: Maxillary canines (n=32) were scanned at 19.6µm voxel resolution. Number and location of canals, the distance between the cemento-enamel junction and apex, occurre...

Usually, the mandibular canine only has one root and one root canal. However, there has been a noticeable increment in evidence showing variations in its morphology, such as the presence of two roots and two root canals. The aim of this article was to present a case of a mandibular canine with two roots and two root canals and to review the availab...

Introduction: Revascularization/revitalization therapy is considered an alternative procedure for management of teeth with an immature apex and necrotic pulp, mainly when root development is interrupted in the early phases of formation. However, this clinical treatment protocol should be considered a permanent procedure? Method: A maxillary cent...

ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article Type: Case Report The modern surgical endodontic treatment is a safe and predictable procedure with high success rate. However, several factors can retard or impede the proper healing process. Use of a high speed handpiece during hard tissues management (osteotomy and apical resection) can potentially be one of these f...

The first permanent mandibular molar (1PMM), commonly presents two separate roots and three root canals. However, it has been shown that its radicular anatomy and configuration can be very variable and unpredictable. The aims of this article is to show the unusual bilateral presence in a patient of 1PMMs with only one root and single root canal. Al...

Resumen Objetivo: Estimar la frecuencia y distribución de infecciones endodónticas secundarias (IES) en la población de Guadalajara, México. Material y Métodos: Se analizaron de manera restrospectiva las historias clínicas y radiografías periapicales de los pacientes que acudieron a la Clínica de la Especialidad en Endodoncia de la Universidad de G...

The presence of a foreign body in the periapical tissues can cause endodontic failure by triggering an inflammatory response and a subsequent foreign body reaction. This inflammatory response, which can occur to varying degrees, appears radiographically as a radiolucency that can remain asymptomatic for many years. A foreign object can reach the ap...

Aim: To report the endodontic treatment of a three-rooted maxillary first premolar by individualized root canal treatment to such cases. Case report: A 25 years old male patient presented to dental office with a diagnosis of asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis in the tooth #14. From the initial clinical and radiographic findings –which were suspecti...

Apexification is one of the most complicated treatment for the dental clinicians, because do not exists an endodontic technique that regenerate completely the structure and functionality of the tooth with immature apex and necrotic pulp. Traditionally, the management of such cases it's focused in to create a barrier at the end of the root that allo...

The maxillary second molar usually exhibits 3 roots (2 buccal roots and 1 palatal root), as well as 3 root canals (1 root canal corresponding to each root). Even though it is unusual to find variations in its morphology, it is important to know the possible alterations that could occur if such variations are found, in order to prevent operative acc...

Radicular dilaceration is a dental anomaly in which the longitudinal axis of the dental root shows a sudden deviation forming a 90o angle or greater. When this aberration is located in the apical portion of the root and it is not detected until the application of orthodontic movements, it may lead to fenestration of the buccal cortical bone, as wel...
