The purpose of this microscopic investigation, using stereomicroscopy and light transmited microscopy was to evaluate the configuration of the endodontic treated maxillary premolars, making correlations between the presence of the intercanalar isthmuses and also, to identify possible associated fracture lines. We also evaluated the thickness of the tertiary dentinal layer (irritation dentin layer). The study was based on microscopic investigation on thin sections on fragments or separate preparations resulting from 12 premolars that were clinically compromised. The tertiary dentin is deposited in response to irritations and moderate intensity injuries. As the tendency of crack propagation is directed to the areas corresponding to the root canal towards one of the root surfaces (which is the closest) the crackline – almost without exception, is more or less arched, without detecting an eventual crack in a straight line.

The morphologic effects on somatotrophs of crude sheep hypothalamic extract prepared from stalk-median eminence were studied by electron microscopy in conjunction with concurrently run bioassays performed on the same tissue samples taken from young adult male Sherman rats.Groups were divided into uninjected controls and injected experimentals sacrificed at 5', 15', and 30' after injection. Half of each anterior pituitary was prepared for electron microscopic investigation, the other half for bioassay. Fixation using collidine buffered osmium tetroxide was followed by dehydration and embedment in Maraglas. Uranyl acetate and lead citrate were used as stains. Thin sections were examined in a Philips EM 200.Somatotrophs from uninjected controls appeared as described in the literature (Fig. 1). In addition to other components, these cells contained moderate numbers of spherical, electron-dense, membrane-bound granules approximately 350 millicrons in diameter.

Three rooted lower first permanent molar represents one of the main anatomical variants which is a treatment challenge of clinicians. This study is aimed at presenting a case of a lower first molar with an additional root that was diagnosed and managed successfully using new techniques in endodontics. Tooth #46 was diagnosed as a necrotic pulp with symptomatic apical periodontitis. Different angle radiographs were obtained, and they clearly showed three roots. The procedure was completed under magnification and illumination using an operating microscope. The access cavity was modified to achieve straight line access for all the canals. Careful step-by-step instrumentation was performed using flexible NiTi rotary files. The canals were irrigated using 6% sodium hypochlorite. Afterwards, three-dimensional obturation was completed using warm vertical compaction. Knowledge of the anatomy and an early diagnosis are required to achieve high-quality root canal treatment.

The purpose of the present investigation was to study the root surfaces of maxillary first premolars after rapid maxillary expansion. In one girl and one boy with posterior skeletal cross-bites and bimaxillary crowding, midpalatal expansion appliances anchored to the first maxillary premolars and molars were used. After the transversal expansion period all first premolars were examined radiographically and then extracted and investigated histologically. The histological investigation revealed active surface resorption of the maxillary first premolars.
