Complications during root canal irrigationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Although endodontic irrigants are generally considered to be safe, severe complications can occur during or as a consequence of root canal irrigation. However, no data on the incidence of irrigation incidents could be found. In the following paper, a review is presented on the possible incidents that may occur during root canal irrigation with different irrigation solutions, the sequelae, as well as prevention and therapy of such intra- and post-operative problems.

Anatomy of an overfill: a reflection on the processEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The design and implementation of shaping, cleaning and sealing objectives in root canal therapy are fraught with real and potential pitfalls when the anatomic complexity of the space and technical considerations for its instrumentation, disinfection and obturation are contemplated. This review will focus on the genesis of results that lead to endodontic overfills. We will look at how the literature defines overfill and overextension; attempt to address the consensus opinion on the definition of working length; and determine the effects of shaping geometry on overfill as well as the biological impact of obturation materials...

Longitudinal tooth fractures: findings that contribute to complex endodontic diagnosesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The purpose of this review is to describe and discuss the diagnostic and treatment challenges related to tooth fractures primarily in the vertical plane, that is, the long axis of the crown and/or root. This includes when and how to identify and determine the extent of the fracture, when a coronal restoration should be placed, when root canal treatment is needed, and when a tooth or root should be extracted based on the location and extent of the fracture. The term 'longitudinal fractures' is used because they usually represent vertical extensions of fractures over distance and time. These fractures often present problems ...

Missed anatomy: frequency and clinical impactEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
It is generally accepted that a major cause of the failure of root canal therapy is an inability to localize and treat all of the canals of the root canal system. The risk of missing anatomy during root canal treatment is high because of the complexity of the root canal system. All categories of teeth may have extra roots and/or canals, but the likelihood of finding aberrant canal configurations is higher in premolars and molars. In addition, lateral ramifications of the root canal system may be present in all teeth with a significant frequency, increasing the probability of leaving untreated spaces after root canal therap...

Repair of perforations with MTA: clinical applications and mechanisms of actionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Root perforations may occur due to pathological processes or treatment consequences. Such perforations are severe complications and are associated with dramatically compromised endodontic treatment outcomes, especially when bacterial infection is allowed to establish. A new material, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), promotes a favorable environment for regeneration and has been successfully used for perforation repair. This is in contrast to previously-used materials that often led to variable outcomes. Based on the currently-available literature, the guidelines for perforation repair and treatment options need to be re-e...

Ledging and blockage of root canals during canal preparation: causes, recognition, prevention, management, and outcomesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Ledge formation, that is the iatrogenically created irregularity in the root canal that impedes access of instruments to the apex, and canal blockage caused by packing dentin chips and/or tissue debris are the least-studied parameters of root canal instrumentation. Variables associated with ledge formation and canal blockage by dentin chips and/or tissue debris are presented. Emphasis is given to their most common causes, recognition, management, prognosis, and prevention.

Development and sequelae of canal transportationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Instrumentation of curved root canals is still a challenge even for skilled and experienced operators. During shaping of these canals, canal transportation, straightening, or canal deviation may occur. This paper describes different preparation outcomes as possible results of canal transportation, and the action of different root canal instruments when used in curved canals, and provides an overview of current in vitro and in vivo studies assessing canal transportation. In the second part of this paper, the clinical consequences of canal transportation such as insufficient cleaning and over-reduction of radicular dentin ar...

Tooth avulsion in children: to replant or notEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Replanting avulsed teeth with a doubtful long-term prognosis due to unfavorable extra-alveolar conditions has recently been questioned by Kenny and Barrett (1). Many factors, however, still favor replanting such teeth. First of all, reliability of failure predictors has not yet been tested in prospective studies. Secondly, preservation of even resorbing replanted teeth may offer significant long-term advantages in preparation for definitive treatment. Also, for psychological reasons, replantation can significantly reduce the anxiety and despair of both the injured child and the parents. Furthermore, decoronation of a resor...

Alveolar bone development after decoronation of ankylosed teethEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Decoronation of ankylosed teeth in infraposition was introduced in 1984 by Malmgren and co-workers (1). This method is used all over the world today. It has been clinically shown that the procedure preserves the alveolar width and rebuilds lost vertical bone of the alveolar ridge in growing individuals. The biological explanation is that the decoronated root serves as a matrix for new bone development during resorption of the root and that the lost vertical alveolar bone is rebuilt during eruption of adjacent teeth. First a new periosteum is formed over the decoronated root, allowing vertical alveolar growth. Then the inte...

Internal inflammatory root resorption: the unknown resorption of the toothEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Internal inflammatory root resorption is a relatively rare resorption that begins in the root canal and destroys surrounding dental hard tissues. Odontoclastic multinuclear cells are responsible for the resorption, which can grow to perforate the root if untreated. The initiating factor in internal root resorption is thought to be trauma or chronic pulpal inflammation, but other etiological factors have also been suggested. Active, expanding resorption requires vital pulp tissue and continuous microbiological irritation, likely from the necrotic coronal part of the root canal. In its classical form, internal root resorptio...

The role of antibiotics in preventing healing complications after traumatic dental injuries: a literature reviewEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Traumatic dental injuries result in tissue damage and risk of infection. Experimental studies have shown various avenues for bacterial invasion following trauma: enamel infractions, dentinal tubules, exposed pulps, damaged periodontal ligament (PDL) and exposed alveolar bone. Hematogenous seeding of bacteria (anachoresis) may also occur during pulpal revascularization after trauma. The implication of these routes of entry differs according to the type of traumatic dental injury. It is known that bacterial colonization in a wound may protract or even arrest healing. Hence, it might be of interest to examine the possibility ...

Relationship between calcium hydroxide pH levels in the root canals and periodontal healing after replantation of avulsed teethEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2], when used as a root canal dressing, has been shown to promote periapical healing, induce formation of an apical hard tissue barrier (apexification), and arrest infection-related root resorption. The main mechanism of action is thought to be the high alkalinity of Ca(OH)2 ensuring a bactericidal or bacteriostatic effect upon microorganisms in the root canal and dentinal tubules. Several anatomical factors related to the root canal, such as the coronal access cavity, the apical foramen, the dentinal tubules, and existing resorption cavities on the root surface, all allow leakage of hydroxide ions...
