Chelation in root canal therapy.

The effectiveness of three chelating agents (EDTA, Rc-Prep, and Salvisol) in achieving cleanliness of prepared and unprepared root canal surfaces was evaluated by means of the scanning electron microscope. In unprepared root surfaces Salvisol (solution) has the best chelating effect. In the instrumented group, EDTA was the most effective agent.

Endodontic retreatment: a rational approach to non-surgical root canal therapy of immature teeth.

The specificity of retreating immature teeth involves generally a broadly wide open apex and/or an inverted root canal conicity (apical opening wider than the root canal orifice), a periapical pathology leading often to a continuous canal exudation and thin and fragile dentinal walls. Nonsurgical endodontic retreatment of immature teeth consists at first in removing coronal and root canal iatrogenic obstructions in order to regain total canal patency. Apexification is then the treatment of choice, preceding a final gutta-percha obturation. The present article outlines a step-by-step rational approach to the root canal retreatment of immature teeth, pertaining to their biomechanical and pathological specificity.

Root canal therapy of an anomalous maxillary central incisor: a case report.

A case of endodontic conservative treatment of a maxillary central incisor with an atypical crown and Type III dens invaginatus is presented. The greatest difficulty was to locate the root canals due to the atypical internal anatomy. There were not two clear canals, but the coronal pulp chamber showed two entrances to the root canal. The tooth presented a distal periodontal pocket and various lingual radicular grooves. The appearance of the crown was improved by alteration of its dimension using diamond rotary instruments and correction with photopolymerized resin.
