Middle mesial canal incidence and morphology in mandibular first molars: A cone-beam computed tomography and micro-computed tomography evaluation.

Background: Mandibular first molar (MFM) being the first permanent posterior tooth to erupt, quite often gets involved in dental caries, which subsequently requires endodontic treatment in many cases. Thus, it is essential that the clinicians be aware of the root canal and the morphology of these teeth in detail. Over a period of years, the cases reporting with middle mesial canals (MMCs) in the MFMs have been seen on the rise; thus, it is imperative to know its incidence so that the data can be passed on to the clinicians for better management.

Outcome Assessment of Three Different Methods of Root-end Preparation and Filling Materials in Endodontic Surgery: A Comparative Clinical Prospective Study.

Introduction: The technique of endodontic surgery had evolved tremendously in the recent years with introduction of new instruments and materials.

Aim: This study aims to compare the clinical outcome of endodontic microsurgery using three different techniques with three different root-end filling materials for 16 months.

Materials And Methods: A total of 45 maxillary incisors indicated for root-end surgery were selected for the study.

Surgical Management of Radicular Cyst with the Application of a Natural Platelet Concentrate and Ostoden: A Case Report.

The most frequent cystic lesions that affect the jaw are radicular cysts. The current case report describes the surgical management of a radicular cyst in the periapical region of maxillary central and lateral incisors, and highlights the efficacy of natural platelet concentrate [platelet-rich fibrin (PRF)] along with Ostoden bone graft material used for postoperative healing. A 46-year-old male patient presented to the department with swelling in the palatal aspect of the maxillary anterior region.

Nonsurgical endodontic management of dens invaginatus with open apex: A case report.

Dens invaginatus is a rare malformation with a widely varied morphology. It typically affects permanent maxillary lateral incisors, central incisors, and premolars. This article demonstrates rapid management of type II dens invagination with open apex and large periradicular lesion using calcium hydroxide as intracanal medicament for 1-week followed by apical plug formation with mineral trioxide aggregate Plus and lateral condensation of Gutta-percha.
