The spread of root canal infection to surrounding periodontal tissue through accessory root canals reduces the success rate of endodontic treatment. In this case, cone-beam computed tomography revealed a lesion (4 mm from the apex) resulting from an accessory root canal of the maxillary left central incisor. First, non-surgical endodontic treatment was conducted but the sinus tract remained. Surgical preparation of the root cavity was then conducted to remove potentially infected dentin surrounding the accessory root canal. The cavity was filled and the foramen was sealed with resin containing bioactive surface pre-reacted glass (S-PRG) filler. The photopolymerized resin was then contoured and polished. In combination with subsequent supportive non-surgical endodontic treatment, a good clinical outcome with the disappearance of the sinus tract and clinical symptoms such as discomfort and pressure pain and the regeneration of the alveolar bone hanging over the cavity was obtained. In this case, the good clinical outcome may have been due to the dentin-adhesive property and durability of the pre-adhesive system and composite resin. The better biocompatibility of S-PRG fillers presumably facilitated periodontal tissue healing.

Background: One of the key factors in successful endodontic therapy is to adequately fill the root canals. Vertical condensation technique is regarded as a high probability of three-dimensional filling of root canal space which is required to achieve long-term success. Aim: To evaluate the endodontic treatment outcomes of vertical condensation technique using Touch’N Heat device. Subjects and methods: A prospective, descriptive study was conducted across two hospitals in Hue city from 11/2016 to 5/2017. All teeth were instrumented by manual Protaper files and obturated by the vertical condensation technique with Touch’N Heat device. The radiographic evaluation for initial assessment of obturation quality was performed. Evaluation of endodontic treatment outcomes in terms of clinical symptoms and radiographic assessment were recorded after 3-month follow-up. Results: A sample of 30 patients (with 39 incisors) from 13 to 73 years old was recruited. The principal reasons for visiting were pain (30.8%), decay (20.5%) or trauma (20.5%). Most patients seeked treatment at chronic stage of diseases with chronic pulpitis (38.4%) and chronic periapical periodontitis (30.8%). In radiographical quality of obturation, there were 27 (69.3%) fulllength obturated teeth, 8 (20.5%) overfilled teeth (sealer). The percentage of homogeneity of root canal filling was 82.1%. Over 82% patients (25 patients with 32 teeth) presented after there-months followup. Clinical assessment yeiled 30 (93.7%) “adequate” teeth, 2 (6.3%) “poor” teeth. Refer to radiographical assessment, the teeth were defined as “success”, “questionable” and “failure” (29 teeth (90.6%), 3 teeth (9.4%) and zero, respectively). Conclusions: The vertical condensation using Touch’N Heat device ensure the full-length obturation, high homogenetious root canal filling, and sucessful prognosis in clinical and radiographic outcomes. Key words: vertical condensation,Touch’N Heat, endodontic outcomes

Background Reciproc instruments are the only contemporary root canal instruments where glide path preparation is no longer strictly demanded by the manufacturer. As the complete preparation of root canals is associated with success in endodontic treatment we wanted to assess the ability and find predictors for Reciproc instruments to reach full working length (RFWL) in root canals of maxillary molars in primary root canal treatment (1°RCTx) and retreatment (2°RCTx) cases. Methods This retrospective study evaluated 255 endodontic treatment cases of maxillary molars. 180 were 1°RCTx and 75 2°RCTx. All root canals were prepared with Reciproc instruments. The groups were compared and in a binary logistic regression model predictors for RFWL were evaluated. Results A total of 926 root canals were treated with Reciproc without glide path preparation. This was possible in 885 canals (95.6%). In 1°RCTx cases 625 of 649 (96.3%) canals were RFWL and in 2°RCTx cases 260 of 277 (93.9%). In second and third mesiobuccal canals (MB2/3) 90 out of 101 (89.1%) were RFWL with Reciproc in 1°RCTx and in the 2°RCTx treatment group 49 out of 51 cases (96.1%). In mesio-buccal (MB1) canals “2°RCTx” was identified as negative predictor for RFWL (OR 0.24 (CI [0.08–0.77])). In MB2/3 canals full working length was reached less often (OR 0.04 (CI [0.01–0.31])) if the tooth was constricted and more often if MB2/3 and MB1 canals were convergent (OR 4.60 (CI [1.07–19.61])). Discussion Using Reciproc instruments, the vast majority of root canals in primary treatment and retreatment cases can be prepared without glide path preparation.

ABSTRACT Aim This clinical report presents a rare case of maxillary central incisor with two separate roots. Background Unusual morphology of the roots and root canals may exist in any tooth. Recognition of the dental anatomy and its variations is necessary for successful endodontic therapy. It is well known that maxillary incisors are usually single-rooted teeth. Case report The root canals were instrumented with conventional hand files and Gates Glidden and obturated by using the lateral technique. Recall radiograph after 1 year shows the healing process of the preoperative apical periodontitis. Conclusion and clinical significance Clinicians should be aware of unexpected root canal morphology when performing root canal therapy. The present case demonstrated the importance of accurate preoperative radiograph and adequate access preparation. How to cite this article Maghsoudlou A, Jafarzadeh H, Forghani M.

This in vivo study analyzed the sealing ability of two adhesives in post spaces, cyanoacrylate (Super Bonder® - Henkel Loctite Adesivos Ltda., Itapevi, SP, Brazil) and ScotchbondTM Multi-Purpose (3M Dental Products, St. Paul, MN, USA), testing the hypothesis that their use would result in a decreased leakage through the remaining filling material. Forty extracted premolars (80 root canals) of dogs were used. The root canals were cleaned, shaped and filled by the lateral condensation technique using Sealer 26TM. The post space was created removing two thirds of the filling material within the root canal. The canals were randomly divided in three groups, which were treated as follows: Group A received the ScotchbondTM Multi-Purpose adhesive system; for Group B the cyanoacrylate adhesive, Super BonderTM, was employed; and no adhesive was applied into the post space for Group C (control group). A glass ionomer provisional restoration was placed allowing the sealer to set for 72 hours. Then the restoration was removed and the root canal was exposed to the oral environment for 45 days. The dogs were then killed and their jaws were removed. The post spaces were filled with India ink and the teeth were restored for 96 hours. Afterwards, the teeth were extracted and the roots were sectioned at the furcation for allocation to their specific groups. The teeth were turned transparent and the quantitative analysis of leakage was performed using light microscopy. The results showed no significant differences between groups, rejecting the initial hypothesis. Leakage occurred in a great extent in all specimens. Therefore, sealing post spaces with the adhesives used in this study was not an effective method to prevent microleakage.

Curved Root Canals

ABSTRACT Introduction The study aimed to compare the shaping and preservation of the original curvature of simulated curved root canals using the following instruments: Reciproc (Rcp), WaveOne (Wo), and the ProTaper Next system (Ptn). Materials and methods A total of 45 resin blocks with simulated curved root canals were divided into three groups (n = 15), prepared using the Rcp (R25), Wo (25/0.8), and Ptn (X2) instruments. Standardized photographs were taken before and after canal instrumentation. After the superimposition of the images, the amount of resin removed from the curvature's inner and outer walls was measured at six apical levels, at intervals of 1 mm. The canals’ angles of curvature before and after instrumentation were subtracted. Results There were no significant differences between the instruments in terms of the total amount of resin removed of the inner or outer walls of the apical curvature (p > 0.05). The Rcp instruments provided the best resin removed ratios between the walls. The means of the change in angle were as follows: Wo = 2.15°, Ptn = 0.92°, and Rcp = 0.21°. WaveOne caused significantly higher deviations than Rcp. Conclusion All of the instruments demonstrated a tendency to straighten the simulated root canal. Instruments that use rotary movement achieved an effect similar to that of the reciprocating instruments in relation to change in angle. Clinical significance Deviations from the original shape of the root canal could have a negative impact on the quality of a filling and consequently on the success of the endodontic treatment.

Root Canal Morphology

Introduction. Predictable endodontic treatment depends on the dentist?s knowledge about root canal morphology and its possible anatomic variations. The majority of mandibular canines have one root and root canal, but 15% may have two canals and a smaller number may have two distinct roots. The following clinical reports describe endodontic treatment of mandibular canines with two roots and two root canals. Outline of Cases. Four clinical case reports are presented to exemplify anatomical variation in the human mandibular canine. Detailed analysis of the preoperative radiographs and careful examination of the pulp chamber floor detected the presence of two root canal orifices in all canines. Working length was determined with an electronic apex locator and biomechanical preparation was carried out by using engine driven BioRaCe Ni-Ti rotary instruments in a crown-down manner, followed by copious irrigation with 1% sodium hypochlorite. Definitive obturation was performed using cold lateral condensation with gutta-percha cones and Top Seal paste. The treatment outcome was evaluated using postoperative radiographs. Conclusion. Endodontists should be aware of anatomical variations of the treated teeth, and should never presume that canal systems are simple.

Root Canal System

The objectives of root canal treatment are to prevent the apical parodontitis, to heal the acute or cronic apical periodontits and to maintain the results, keeping the teeth on the arch in a functional stage. Thus, accuratelly elimination of soft and hard tissues (cleaning and shaping of the root canal system), disinfection and complete, homogeneous and tridimensional filling of the root canal system are very important to successful endodontic treatment. Modern concepts in endodontic treatment rely on technological progress and therefore many cases are successfully fulfilled, but the practitioner may be put in front of procedural erorrs both during and after endodontic treatment. Apical blockage, ledging, zipping, stripping, perforations in the floor of the pulp canal chamber or root canals perforations are the most common errors, but in many clinical situations they can be prevented and even surpassed once happened.

This study aims to report the clinical case of a 16 years-old male patient, who attended a private office reporting that at an accident suffered at the age of 10 years-old, which caused extrusive dislocation in both teeth 11 and 21. At that time, the teeth were repositioned, without an adequate follow-up. Upon physical and radiographic examination, the following features were observed: presence of recurrent sinus tract on the vestibular surface, area of ​​external cervical resorption, and a periapical lesion on tooth 21. Endodontic treatments (necropulpectomy) were performed on teeth 11 and 21, with the placement of a root canal dressing of calcium hydroxide and subsequent root canal filling. In addition, soft tissue flap folding was performed to treat the resorption area and to seal it with glass ionomer cement. A 7 months follow-up radiograph shows stabilization in the process of the tooth resorption and remission of the periapical lesion. In conclusion, the endodontic treatment with intracanal medication, and the sealing of the resorption area were successful to preserve the traumatized tooth. In addition, it is noteworthy that following up with the patient after the trauma episode is essential to monitor the pulp vitality of the tooth involved.
