Micro-endodontic nonsurgical retreatment.

Clinicians frequently encounter endodontically treated teeth that are failing. The vast majority of these cases can be predictably retreated nonsurgically. Integration of specific technology, coupled with breakthrough techniques, are described and powerfully demonstrated. This article is designed for the dental team whose vision is to preserve strategic teeth and create endodontic excellence for its patients.

Microendodontics: identification and treatment of MBII system.

Endodontically, the maxillary first molar is one of the most misunderstood teeth and presents a variety of considerations for the treating practitioner. Clinically, the mesiobuccal root contains a second root canal system that can be identified and treated more than 75 percent of the time. The thorough clinician must assume all maxillary first molars have four canals until proven otherwise.

Nonsurgical endodontic retreatment.

This article presents techniques for nonsurgical endodontic retreatment. Issues that influence treatment choice are discussed. Also outlined are armamentaria and techniques for coronal disassembly and removal of obturation materials.

Endodontic treatment of a "very particular" maxillary central incisor.

Maxillary central incisor teeth can vary dramatically in their external and internal anatomy. Endodontic treatment of a most unusual four-canal central incisor with resorption is described and healing is demonstrated.
