Precision in endodontic therapy by novel-guided approach.

Guided endodontics has proven effective in treating pulp canal obliteration (PCO). However, challenges arise when dealing with limited vertical space, particularly in cases where long burs and guides are necessary. In this case report, we introduce a novel approach utilizing a sleeveless three-dimensional (3D)-printed guide, aimed at overcoming vertical space constraints while maintaining visibility and irrigation during drilling.

Fracture Resistance of Endodontically Treated Roots Restored with Fiber Posts Using Different Resin Cements- An In-vitro Study.

Introduction: The influence of the remaining coronal tooth structure along with intra-radicular esthetic posts increases fracture resistance of fractured teeth especially in the anterior region. The advent of resin based luting cements improves the adhesion of fiber posts.

Aim: To evaluate the fracture resistance of endodontically treated roots restored with fiber posts using different resin cements - Calibra (etch and rinse), PermaFlo® DC (self-etch primer) and SmartCem2 (self-adhesive).
