Root canal treatment diagnoses as pulpitis irreversible can be treated in a non-vital condition with devitalization material. Arsenic is one of devitalization material that used in inflammatory pulp tissue before it is going to endodontic treatment. The long-term use of it or the leak of using this arsenic can cause the toxic effect of the pulp tissue. The case is going to report is about the damage of gingival tissue and alveolar that caused by the uncarefullness using of arsenic. Inappropriate arsenic applications cause the leak that able to spread to gingival tissue and will become necrosis. Now a day, the using of arsenic begin to leave because of the toxicity sad effect. This report is going to report how much the damage using arsenic trioxide (As2O3) and the effort from the leakness.

ABSTRACT Introduction A thorough knowledge of the anatomic morphology of the root canal system is necessary for the long-term success of the root canal therapy. The occurrence of C-shaped root canal configuration is one such variation. Achievement of favorable prognosis after commencing root canal therapy in such teeth is one of the challenges imposed on the endodontist. Hence, we evaluated the healing occurring after endodontic therapy in patients with C-shaped root canals in mandibular molars. Materials and methods The present study was conducted in the Department of Conservative Dentistry of the institution and included assessment of all the patients who underwent root canal treatment of the mandibular first and second molars. Endodontic therapy was performed in all the cases by experienced endodontist. Final postoperative radiographs were taken. Recording of the data of the personal and clinical details of a total of 250 patients was done. All the clinical and radiographic details of the patients, such as tooth location in the jaw, presence or absence of C-shaped canals, status of the pulp tissue, presence or absence of the fractures, and other details of the patients were recorded. Radiographic and clinical examination of the tooth of the patients was done during the baseline visit and further during the follow-up visits. The presence of C-shaped root canals was confirmed using the radiographs. Periapical index (PI) scoring system was used. Categories defined for enlisting the healing after the root canal treatment with the assessment of the PI score. All the results were analyzed by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software. Results Vital pulp tissue was encountered in majority of the cases. C-shaped root canal configuration was observed in 40% of the cases included in the present study. After completion of the endodontic therapy, complete crown placement was done in only 22% of the cases. In cases of vital teeth with C-shaped root canals configuration, most of the teeth showed complete healing. Significant results were obtained while comparing the complete coverage crown parameter in relation to the healing process in teeth with C-shaped root canals. Conclusion In the present study, no significant effect of the C-shaped root canal configuration was found on the healing rate of the endodontic therapy in mandibular molars. Clinical significance Meticulous endodontic therapy with special techniques should be done while preparing teeth with C-shaped root canals.

Abstract Internal resorption was associated with long-term chronic inflammation of the pulp (chronic granulomatous pulpitis). When internal resorption is radiographically confirmed, endodontic treatment becomes a necessity. Vital teeth internal resorption appears radiographically as an oval enlargement of the pulp chamber and root canal with smooth, symmetrical outline. Internal granuloma is assumed to be an effect of the trauma, or pulp inflammation, the ailment is rare, asymptomatic and might progress rapidly, causing perforation. It is difficult to remove the pulp tissue from the resorptive defect, since this area is not easily accessible for instrumentation. The delay of the endodontic treatment may lead the internal resorption to perforation, thus decreasing the chances of treatment success. In the following paper, we present a total of two clinical cases with internal granuloma with perforation that have benefited of specific endodontic treatment.

The success of endodontic treatment depends on the quality of endodontic treatment and the final restoration. The mean reason for endodontic treatment failure is usually microleakage. That is why it becomes one of the priorities for dental research to prevent microleakage. Infection during the root canal treatment can be prevented. First, by employing strict aseptic clinical techniques follows by cleaning all bacteria and preoperative necrotic pulp-tissue remnants from the root canal. Irrigants are essential in this phase. The shaping of the canal is also an important prerequisite for endodontic success. Removal of the smear layer can enhance seal ability. Second, obturation of the root canal should leave the tooth in the most biological inert condition possible, and it must prevent reinfection as well as the growth of any microorganisms remaining in the canal. The application of an antibacterial dressing between appointments is absolutely necessary or the root canal has to be obturated at the first appointment in order to deprive the microorganisms of nutrients and space to multiply. The temporary filling must be at least 3.5 mm thick. Failure occurs because of missed canals, iatrogenic events and radicular fractures have to be avoided. At the end, clinicians have to confirm that the root canal is cleaned and hermetically obturated because hermetic root canal filling will prevent the leakage of an irritant to the apical area.

The aim of this study was to determine different causes of endodontic treatment failure in patients who approached our Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics for re- treatment.This study included one hundred fifty patients of both genders with different post endodontic treatment complaints.Clinical and radio- graphic examination was used to confirm treatment failure. The most common clinical symptoms were tenderness, tenderness and pain, or swelling (72%, 29.3% and 22.7% respectively). The common causes of endodontic treatment failure were poorly filled (40%), under filled (34.7%) and no root canal filling (17.3%).Root canal failure due to overfilling was 5.3%.Most of these failed cases were either treated by internees (House officers) in the teaching institutes (34.7%) or general dental practitioners (57.3%).

Pendahuluan: Kegagalan perawatan endodontik umumnya terjadi akibat obturasi yang tidak adekuat dan kebocoran pada restorasi akhir. Kegagalan tersebut dapat diatasi dengan perawatan saluran akar ulang. Perawatan tersebut pada pasien geriatri memerlukan berbagai pertimbangan penatalaksanaan sesuai dengan kondisi fisiologis dan sistemik pasien. Tujuan laporan kasus ini untuk menjelaskan perawatan saluran akar ulang non-bedah gigi insisif lateral kanan atas pada pasien geriatri. Laporan kasus: Perempuan berusia 69 tahun datang ke Instalasi Rawat Jalan Spesialistik Konservasi Gigi Rumah Sakit Gigi dan Mulut Universitas Padjadjaran (RSGM Unpad) untuk memperbaiki tambalan gigi atas depan kanan yang pecah dan untuk merawat gigi tersebut karena terasa tidak nyaman saat digunakan untuk mengunyah. Gigi pernah dilakukan perawatan saluran akar dan penambalan sewarna gigi sekitar empat tahun yang lalu. Pemeriksaan intraoral menunjukan perkusi positif pada gigi insisif lateral kanan rahang atas. Pemeriksaan radiografis periapikal memperlihatkan bahan pengisi saluran akar tidak adekuat, pelebaran membran periodontal di sepertiga apikal, serta terputusnya lamina dura di sepertiga apikal. Rencana perawatan adalah perawatan saluran akar ulang non bedah. Perawatan berlangsung dalam enam kali pertemuan singkat, dengan tahapan pengambilan gutta-percha menggunakan file hedstrom, preparasi saluran akar dengan instrumen rotary, obturasi saluran akar dengan gutta-percha serta sealer resin plus dan restorasi akhir veneer direk berbahan komposit. Simpulan: Perawatan saluran akar ulang non-bedah pada gigi insisif lateral kanan atas berhasil dilakukan dengan ditandai hilangnya keluhan pasien, perbaikan pada gambaran radiografis serta gigi dapat berfungsi secara normal. Keberhasilan perawatan dipengaruhi oleh rencana perawatan yang tepat dengan mempertimbangkan faktor etiologi kegagalan perawatan endodontik serta perubahan fisiologis dan kondisi patologis yang terdapat pada pasien.Kata kunci: Perawatan saluran akar ulang, insisif lateral, pasien geriatri. ABSTRACT Introduction: Endodontic treatment failure generally results from inadequate obturation and leakage at the final restoration. This failure can be relieved by re-root canal treatment. Such treatment in geriatric patients requires various management considerations according to the patient’s physiological and systemic conditions. This case report was aimed to describe the non-surgical root canal re-treatment of maxillary right lateral incisor in a geriatric patient. Case report: A 69-years-old woman came to the Conservative Dentistry Specialist Outpatient Unit of the Universitas Padjadjaran Dental Hospital (RSGM Unpad) to repair a broken maxillary right front tooth fill and to treat the tooth due to the uncomfortable feeling each time the mastication was performed. The tooth was treated with root canals and tooth-coloured fillings about four years ago. Intraoral examination revealed positive percussion of the maxillary right lateral incisor. The periapical radiograph showed inadequate root canal filling, dilation of the periodontal membrane in the third apical, and severed lamina dura in the third apical. The treatment plan was non-surgical root canal re-treatment. The treatment took place in six short sessions, with the steps of gutta-percha collection using a Hedstrom file, the root canal preparation with a rotary instrument, and the root canal’s obturation with gutta-percha plus resin sealer and final restoration of a composite direct veneer. Conclusion: Non-surgical root canal treatment of the upper right lateral incisor was successfully performed as indicated by the absence of the patient’s complaints, improvement in the radiographic image, and the teeth’ normal function. The treatment's success is influenced by a proper treatment plan considering the aetiological factors of endodontic treatment failure, the physiological changes, and pathological conditions present in the patient.Keywords: Root canal re-treatment, lateral incisor, geriatric patient.

In this study, 120 teeth having periradicular pathosis were treated with single visit root canal treatment and then obturated with either calcium hydroxide containing sealer or mineral trioxide aggregate based sealer. The healing of periradicular pathosis was examined at 3, 6, and 12 months by clinical and radiological evaluation. Collected data were analyzed with standard statistical methods by using SPSS version- 20. The results showed that at 3 and 6 months, the differences between calcium hydroxide containing sealer or mineral trioxide aggregate based sealer were not statistically significant. However, the healing capability of periapical radiolucency at 12 months between two groups was statistically significant (P=0.03). The final outcome of the clinical and radiological investigation showed successful results of 96.6% and 98.1% in calcium hydroxide and mineral trioxide aggregate group, respectively. In conclusion, both calcium hydroxide and mineral trioxide aggregate based sealers are almost equally effective in single visit root canal therapy for the management of periradicular pathosis.
