The objective of this case study is to report the endodontic treatment of a mandibular premolar with a C-shaped root canal configuration based on the use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) as a diagnostic aid and in treatment planning. A 14-year-old patient was referred for endodontic treatment of tooth No. 21.

Article Synopsis
- Atypical anatomy in maxillary incisors, like a double-rooted structure, is rare and documented in only a few cases.
- Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is useful for identifying these anatomical variations and their 3D location.
- A 72-year-old patient with a fractured tooth underwent CBCT, revealing two roots, leading to successful endodontic treatment and a positive long-term prognosis.
Objective: This study investigated the influence of the last apical instrument of the ProTaper system with and without 2.5% sodium hypochlorite for cleaning mandibular central incisors.
Material And Methods: Thirty two mandibular central incisors were divided into six study groups: Group I--F1 instrument with 2.
This paper presents a case report of a maxillary lateral incisor affected by invasive cervical resorption. The tooth was submitted to a 21-day treatment with calcium hydroxide followed by root canal filling. The area of resorption was sealed with MTA followed by glass ionomer cement and restored with composite resin.
