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 available literature on this anatomic variation. Root canal treatment of tooth #43 with such morphology was performed in a 47-year-old woman. Careful inspection of the preoperative radiograph indicated the presence of more than one canal. The 12-month follow-up showed normal periapical tissues, with no pain or tenderness. Literature review revealed that the overall prevalence of such root canal configuration is 5.7%, with a strong preference for female sex (87.5%). Although mandibular canines with two roots and two root canals are not common, clinicians should always anticipate the presence of possible variations. Therefore, timely diagnosis and meticulous exploration of such mandibular canines allow for planning of an individualized treatment protocol, tailored to their peculiar morphology, focused on avoiding excessive weakening or even perforation of the roots.

A comprehensive knowledge of the root canal anatomy is essential for successful endodontic treatment. However, presence of anatomic variation in the tooth can be diagnostically and technically challenging and hence may pose difficulties during endodontic therapy. The anatomical variations associated with permanent mandibular canines have been reported by several investigators. Mandibular canines are recognized as usually having one root with one root canal in majority of cases. The occurrence of two root canals in single-rooted mandibular canine is considered unusual in Indian population. This case report describes non-surgical endodontic management of right permanent mandibular canine having one root with two canals and one apical foramen (Vertucci Type II).

Pendahuluan: Pulpitis ireversibel simtomatik ditandai dengan hipersensitivitas terhadap stimulus termal, yang menyebabkan nyeri spontan atau rasa sakit yang bertahan 30 detik atau lebih setelah stimulus dihilangkan, nyeri yang parah, persisten, dan sulit dilokalisir, dapat menjalar ke telinga, pelipis, mata atau leher. Kondisi pulpa yang terinflamasi tidak dapat kembali pulih dan perawatan saluran akar merupakan pilihan perawatan. Tujuan laporan kasus ini membahas mengenai perawatan saluran akar dengan pulpitis ireversibel simtomatik untuk menghentikan inflamasi pulpa dan mempertahan gigi. Laporan kasus: Pasien laki-laki berusia 35 tahun datang ke klinik dengan keluhan gigi belakang kanan bawah terasa sakit berdenyut sejak 1 minggu yang lalu. Gigi tersebut pernah dilakukan penambalan sementara 4 bulan sebelumnya dan tambalan tersebut patah serta nyeri spontan. Pemeriksaan radiologis gigi 46 menunjukkan gambaran radiolusen pada bagian mahkota hingga mencapai tanduk pulpa, terdapat 2 akar, dengan akar mesial dilaserasi ke arah distal dan akar distal lurus, serta saluran akar yang menghilang pada 2/3 dan 1/3 saluran akar distal dan mesial, tidak terdapat pelebaran membran periodontal, lamina dura normal dan tidak terdapat kelainan periapikal. Gigi 46 dilakukan anestesi lokal, dilanjutkan pembukaan akses dan ekstirpasi pulpa, kemudian preparasi saluran akar menggunakan nikel titanium rotary ProTaper Next® (Maillefer, Switzerland) dengan teknik crown down dan pengisian saluran akar. Restorasi follow up overlay komposit indirek pada gigi 46. Simpulan: Pulpitis ireversibel simtomatik pada gigi molar dengan akar dilaserasi terbukti dapat ditangani dengan perawatan saluran akar yang adekuat, ditandai dengan hilangnya keluhan pada pasien dalam kasus ini.Kata kunci: Pulpitis ireversibel simtomatik, perawatan saluran akar, teknik crown down. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Symptomatic irreversible pulpitis is characterised by hypersensitivity to the thermal stimuli, which causes spontaneous pain that lasts 30 seconds or more after the stimulus removed, severe, persistent and difficult to localise, can radiate to the ears, temples, eyes, or neck. The inflamed pulp does not recover; thus, root canal treatment is the treatment option. This case report was aimed to discuss the root canal treatment for symptomatic irreversible pulpitis to stop the pulp inflammation and preserve the teeth. Case report: A 35-year-old male patient came to the clinic with complaints of pulsating pain in the mandibular right molar since one week prior. The tooth had a temporary filling four months earlier, and the filling was fractured, and the pain was spontaneous. Radiological examination of tooth 46 showed radiolucent images on the crown until the pulp horn, there were found two roots, with mesial roots dilated distally and straight distal roots, and root canals that disappeared in the two-third and one-third of the distal and mesial root canals, no dilation of the periodontal membrane, normal lamina dura and no periapical abnormalities. Tooth 46 was subjected to local anaesthesia, followed by access opening and pulp extirpation, then the root canal preparation was performed using the ProTaper Next® rotary nickel-titanium (Maillefer, Switzerland) with the crown-down technique and root canal filling. Indirect composite overlay follow-up restoration was conducted of tooth 46. Conclusion: Symptomatic irreversible pulpitis in molars with dilacerated roots proved to be manageable with adequate root canal treatment, marked by the loss of the patients’ complaints.Keywords: Symptomatic irreversible pulpitis, root canal treatment, crown-down technique.

The mandibular canine is usually considered a single-rooted tooth with a single root canal. However, two canals and more rarely two roots may also occur. This paper reports the case of a patient with bilateral mandibular canines with two roots and two root canals. The initial periapical radiographs of the mandibular right and left canines for endodontic treatment revealed the presence of two roots in each tooth. After coronal opening, the cervical third was prepared with a SX file of the ProTaper® system and root canal length was confirmed using Root ZX electronic apex locator. Root canal preparation was completed with the series of ProTaper® instruments and the root canal was filled with gutta-percha and an epoxy resin-based endodontic sealer according to Tagger's hybrid technique. The final radiographs showed two well-obturated canals ending at the electronically located apexes. The 6-month posttreatment follow-up showed apparent clinical and radiographic success. Clinicians should always consider the presence of anatomical variations in the teeth during endodontic treatments. Despite the low prevalence, variations may occur in the number of roots and root canals of mandibular canines, as demonstrated in this case report.

Abstract Introduction Malignant mesonephric tumors are uncommon in the female genital tract, and they are usually located where embryonic remnants of Wolffian ducts are detected, such as the uterine cervix. The information about these tumors, their treatment protocol, and prognosis are scarce. Case report A 60-year-old woman with postmenopausal vaginal bleeding was initially diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma. After suspicion co-testing, the patient underwent a loop electrosurgical excision of the cervix and was eventually diagnosed with mesonephric adenocarcinoma. She was subjected to a radical hysterectomy, which revealed International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) IB1 stage, and adjuvant radiotherapy. The follow-up showed no evidence of recurrence after 60 months. Conclusion We present the case of a woman with cervical mesonephric adenocarcinoma. When compared with the literature, this case had the longest clinical follow-up without evidence of recurrence, which reinforces the concept that these tumors are associated with a favorable prognosis if managed according to the guidelines defined for the treatment of patients with cervical adenocarcinomas. Though a rare entity, it should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis for other cervical cancers.

Abstract Background Small intestine duplication cysts (SIDCs) are rare congenital anatomical abnormalities of the digestive tract and a rare cause of hematochezia. Case presentation We describe an adult female presented with recurrent hematochezia. The routine gastric endoscope and colonic endoscope showed no positive findings. Abdominal CT scan indicated intussusception due to the "doughnut" sign, but the patient had no typical symptoms. Two subsequent capsule endoscopes revealed a protruding lesion with bleeding in the distal ileum. Surgical resection was performed and revealed a case of SIDC measuring 6 * 2 cm located inside the ileum cavity. The patient remained symptom-free throughout a 7-year follow-up period. Conclusion SIDCs located inside the enteric cavity can easily be misdiagnosed as intussusception by routine radiologic examinations.

The ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) is a mixed odontogenic tumor, with characteristics of ameloblastic fibroma, presenting enamel and dentin, which occurs more frequently in individuals aged 5 to 17 years. This paper reports na extensive case of ameloblastic fibro-odontoma in the mandible of a 3-year-old patient, discussed in comparison to cases selected from a brief literature review on the clinical characteristics, Evolution and therapeutic options for this lesion. In the last years, there was no consensus in the literature concerning its etiopathogenesis and classification, yet recently the AFO was classified as a developing odontoma. This case is in accordance with the 7 cases reported in the literature of AFO in the mandible of children aged 10 years or younger, especially concerning the lesion pattern and evolution and treatment adopted. The patient did not present relapse and exhibited local bone regeneration at the 3-year follow-up.
