Micro-CT study of the root canal anatomy of maxillary canines
2017
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, occurrence of accessory and lateral canals, presence of oval canals, number of foraminas as well as two- (area, perimeter, roundness, aspect ratio, major and minor diameters) and three-dimensional (volume, surface area, and SMI) analysis were performed. Data of two-dimensional analyses at 5 different apical levels was statistically compared using Kruskal-Wallis tes…
Symmetry of root and root canal morphology of mandibular incisors: A cone-beam computed tomography study
2019
Background Aim of this study was to analyze the root canal configuration in mandibular central and lateral incisors in vivo using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. Material and methods A total of 487 mandibular central incisors and 491 mandibular lateral incisors from 250 patients were examined using CBCT imaging, previously taken for diagnosis and treatment. The number of roots, root canal system configuration, presence of apical confluences, distance between confluences and radiographic root end, symmetry between left and right elements were recorded and statistically analyzed. Results All the examined teeth presented only one root. No significant differences were found betwee…
The use of spiral CT in the detection and management of a permanent maxillary first molar with single root and single canal : a rare occurrence
2017
A sound knowledge of the normal tooth morphology and its numerous variations is essential to the success of endodontic therapy. While extra canals and lateral canals are routinely encountered and documented, there also exists the rare possibility of a fewer number of canals than normal. Early detection of such an occurrence is critical to the prevention of iatrogenic errors during endodontic treatment. The advent of spiral CT as a diagnostic tool serves as a much needed confirmation to understand the complex three dimensional anatomy of teeth. The aim of this case report is to highlight one such case reporting unusual morphology of the permanent maxillary first molar displaying single canal…
Komparativno istraživanje oblikovanja četiriju rotirajućih sustava
2015
Svrha: U ovom istraživanju analizirali smo rezno područje, vrijeme instrumentacije, održavanje anatomije korijenskog kanala i neinstrumentirana područja dobivena korištenjem instrumenata F360®, Mtwo®, RaCe® i Hyflex® u ISO veličini 35. Materijali i metode: Odabrano je 120 zuba s jednim ravnim kanalom i podijeljeni su u četiri grupe. Radna duljina određena je radiološki. Zubi su rezani dijamantnim diskom, a presjeci su promatrani stereoskopskim mikroskopom Nikon SMZ-2T pod svjetiljkom Intralux 4000-1. Grupe su oblikovane predoperativnom analizom AutoCAD. Zubi su rekonstruirani s pomoću K-proširivača #10 i epoksi ljepila. Svaka grupa instrumentirana je jednim od četiriju sustava. Vrijeme inst…
Comparison of Shaping Ability of 10 Rotary and Reciprocating Systems: an In Vitro Study with AutoCAD
2017
Cilj: Usporediti reznu površinu, očuvanje anatomije korijenskog kanala i neinstrumentiranu površinu nakon instrumentacije sustavima F360®, F6SkyTaper®, HyflexEDM®, iRace®, Neoniti®, O.Shape®, P.Next®, Reciproc®, Revo-S® i WaveOneGold® s veličinom instrumenta 25. Materijali i metode: Tristo zubi s jednim ravnim korijenom i okruglim ili eliptičnim presjekom korijenskog kanala podijeljeno je u 10 skupina (1-F360®, 2-F6SkyTaper®, 3-HyflexEDM®, 4-iRace®, 5-Neoniti®, 6-O Shape®, 7-P.Next®, 8-Reciproc®, 9-Revo-S® i 10-WaveOneGold®) i poprečno prerezano na trećine ultrafinim reznim diskovima. Uzorci su fotografirani pod stereomikroskopom i provedena je predinstrumentacijska analiza prije ponovnog s…
Endodontic management of three-rooted maxillary second premolar in a patient with bilateral occurrence of three roots in maxillary second premolars
2012
The possibility of bilateral maxillary second premolars having three separate roots is quite low; however, it must be taken into account in clinical and radiographic evaluations during endodontic treatment. A correct clinical and radiographic diagnosis based on knowledge of root canal anatomy and critical interpretation of radiographs is necessary for a safer and successful endodontic treatment of these teeth. Failure of root canal treatment can occur due to missed roots/canals and often diagnosed when patient experiences continuous post-operative pain and discomfort. This case report describes the root canal treatment of a three-rooted maxillary second premolar in a patient with bilateral …
