Discuss the impact of new diagnostic and planning technologies on the resolution of a clinical case of an upper central incisor with lateral perforation, root canal calcification and apical periodontitis. A 44-year-old woman sought treatment because of a colour change in an anterior tooth. The tooth had already been endodontically accessed, and she reported that two different clinicians had failed to locate the root canal. A Cone Beam Computed Tomography scan showed excessive wear and root perforation in the middle third, as well as pulp canal obliteration in the apical third. The perforation was treated using a biomaterial, and the root canal was located using guided endodontics. This treatment protocol was used to access, prepare, medicate with calcium hydroxide for 21 days and fill the root canal. Treatment results were satisfactory at 6-month follow-up.

BACKGROUND This cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) endodontics study aimed to compare the canal-centering ability and canal transportation of Edgefile X7 and HyFlex EDM files in moderately curved mesiobuccal (MB) root canals of 30 mandibular first permanent molar teeth. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty permanent mandibular first molars with 10° and 24° of mesial root curvature were selected and scanned with CBCT. Two experimental groups of 15 each were made: group I: HyFlex EDM, and group II: Edgefile X7.

This in vitro research assessed the influence of the instrument kinematics (rotary and reciprocating) and the apical preparation limit on the root canal disinfection and apical bacterial extrusion. After 21 days of Enterococcus faecalis biofilm formation in 72 mesial root canals of mandibular molars, the root canals were distributed into 2 groups (n = 36) according to the systems used for preparation: ProDesign S and Reciproc. The groups were redistributed according to the limit of apical preparation (n = 11): (a) 1 mm up to the apical foramen (TL-1); (b) at the apical foramen (TL = 0); (c) 1 mm beyond the apical foramen (TL + 1).
