Management of instrument perforations in the periodontal ligament space during endodontic or restorative procedures is an ongoing problem in dentistry. The introduction of microscopes, new instruments and materials has resulted in more controllable and predictable surgical and nonsurgical outcomes. This paper discusses some of the newer techniques and materials used to manage perforations effectively.
Removal of posts from root canals is often a tedious and difficult procedure. Factors such as type of post, cement used, interradicular relation of post to canal walls and accessibility of post affects the eventual success. It is necessary, therefore, for the clinician to evaluate his or her ability to remove posts when contemplating retreating endodontic cases. This paper discusses and evaluates a new technique and instruments used to facilitate post removal in nonsurgical endodontics.
